Special note for Rally people:
The car is currently set up for road course use. But, I can very easily convert it to rallycross/TSD spec. I love wrenching on this car and would be happy to customize the setup for anyone interested. Skid plates, gravel tires, smaller sway bars, taller ride heights, I’ve got many possible setups that can go on this car.
The Car:
The car is a white 1997 Impreza L with ~180,000kms. It was bought from new for motorsport purposes (first owner). It was the 99 Car in the Tall Pines Rally and competed in numerous rallycross and winter TSD’s. A couple years ago the car kissed a snow bank – HARD. The airbags deployed and the front bumper skin, rebar, passenger headlight and lower radiator support took a good hit. Lots of aesthetic damage. The owner at the time had the damage corrected and listed the car for sale. It sold and became a daily driver for four months (second owner) until I contacted the owner wanting to buy the car (third owner). I knew the vehicle history and potential. I’ve owned it for nearly two years. All of the modifications (listed below) other than the transmission (fourstar installation), were installed be myself or with the help of a good friend.
The car is SOLID and very reliable. NO structural rust. NO rot. NO rusted through rear wheel arches like many Imprezas of its time.

I love this car! But, narrow gravel roads keep calling and the empty shell in my garage needs a CARS legal cage. So, I’m looking to see if there is any interest in my track toy.
I’m open to offers, and I’d sell the car with almost any variation of the parts listed above. Thanks for your interest. E-mail any questions to:
