Nice job Warren. My buddy just bought that kit yesterday. He keeps asking me what to do like I'm the expert or something. Anyway I got a good look at the chassis and well, how the hell did you lower that beast?

Hell of a fine job.

Great job pman! About the "I" emblem though... I believe its for "Impreza" because the WRX is an Impreza. I'm pretty sure..

You know something, if Warren posted his pics like Lau Bak does with the backgrounds, I think even I would think it was the real thing as opposed to a model.

Get him on here.

Is this an "I"? I thought I saw an "S" somewhere...

Thanks for the comments guys.
Jason.....i had to cut a lot of the suspension out and file etc to get the right look. Heaps of mucking around but with it.
When i made the bushes for the rims i slightly offset them as well....(you would never know).

Thanks again for the Rims Dan....they really *make* the model

Do you think it's a model you would have built without all our influence Warren?

To be honest...no.

I have always done race cars or American Muscle cars. After seeing more and more non-race cars in here like the GTR/WRX etc (thanks guys)...i thought why not.

No decals....sweet for a change

Is this the "S" you were thinking of?

If so, its for the S15 Silvia, which I'm sure you've already noticed :silly2: . The logo you got looks wrong, I'm trying to find one that looks more "correct" .

We have the regular star ones, too. I remember seeing the pink emblem in the parts department, but I'm almost positive they had an "S" instead of an "I."

I know my Silvias. I'm searching, too...

Edit: I can only find these four:

I guess the "I" must have been what I saw. I don't know why I thought it was an "S."

It is the I for Impreza because the WRX is an Impreza option. That would be my best guess .
