PROGRESS thread. Nothing much to see in there really. This kit is very simple. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=414127

Also working on the 360. Should be finished by the new year.

Testors Diamond green. It is like a light creamy green.

Thanks

Excellent!!
Glad to see one built :)

Thanks. Knew you would appreciate it Ray:)

what a cool little car! i would love this kit myself.

I have a stupid noob question..but what can I use to wash the panel lines? Black will be too dark..do you think a thinned out tamiya green would look odd? Thanks

Hmm...
It's not an Impreza, but i like oldschool japanese stuff!!
Great work, man!!

lets see some more pics, id go with a light grey to wash the panel lines.

Thanks Mark. I was trying to get outside pics, but I haven't gotten home from work untill dark this week, and it was rainy all day today. heh..so..hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Thanks

Liked the pictures and noticed the baja, do you own one? I have an '03, trading it in for the last year of production '06 turbo. If you know of body kits, trunk kits and ways to make it faster,(conservatively) let me know about it....thanks

Hello there. All of my email and PMs are broken. WE got a virus on our comp. If you could try to contact me on AIM that would be cool. Sorry about that. I will take some pics soon:)

Sorry I didn't get outside today to get pics. I did try the grey blackwashing tho.

Hey blubaja,
I took an intrest in your thread because I own and love my own '03 dark metallic blue baja. There are not many of us baja enthsuthiast around. I took pics of mine now I'm just trying to figure out how to attach them to my profile or as a reply, its obvious I need help w/ my computer literacy, so I don't mean to sound stupid but.... what is as you say...."AIM" and "PMs"....once I know that I'll try to contact you that way...later QueenNadine. Oh, I looked at your "my space" too BTW, Subaru's are my favorite too. If you know a lot mechanically about what ways I can conservatively bring my HP up, I'd like you to share....and I'm considering dual exhaust... two chrome pipes in the back might look cool, I might even trade up to the '06 turbo since this is the last year for baja, too bad they only have blue atlantic pearl this year. K. Bye

MODS, please let this go for a bit. All of my email, and PM do not function on my home computer. We had a virus, and the java/javascript is broken..something..I dunno that much about computers. But, please. This is the only way I can contact with QueenNadine. Thanks, Frank X.

QueenNadine:
AIM is Aol instant messenger. PM's are the little emails we can send through this site. The '03 dark blue is called Mystic blue pearl, and was suposed to be an '04 color. So it is somewhat rare. Try to look up parts for the 2.5 Impreza. These go with our Bajas. The turbo Baja can use STi parts.

I will do that for parts in the mean time I've been talking with a suby technician that says he can bump up my HP... 100 HP more for $2000, he used to be w/ Subaru and now has his own shop. What do you think of that? I have looked and looked and as far as any body mods I have not seen any kits except for the snug fit for the trunk...Even changing the lights out seems impossible, even still I love my car. I got it right off the show room floor in '03....I just looked at the '06 today....love the new antenne and homelink, and the way it lets you know exactly when the car is in AWD and when its not. Hate very much three measly color choices, and midnight blue is no longer. Have you done any thing for your baja? Assuming you have one? Not sure if I want to part or go new again. What do you think of the automatic sport shift verses the standard?

There is a site that will answer many more of your questions that I can't. If the mods let it go for a bit... but it's www dot nasioc dot com ;)

Wow, man!
that is some cute little model!

I didn't even know there was such a real car even, good find and good build, as always!

Thanks, nice chatting w/ u keep a look out for my pics post see and vice versa. I'll CK it out.

Aparrently my PMs work now. Thank's mods:D

No problem. :sunglasse

Just a quick question as im a 00' Outback driver.... is the Baja built on the Impreza 2.5 chassis? i assume they didnt build a new chassis for it. sorry just got curious when reading this.

Great kit and build!

Oh Frank, i now live like 1-2 hours away from you, are there any good hobby shops near you cuz i still cant find a decent one. ive been to MD, PA, DE, and DC. one was OK. none have good kits or Tamiya supplies. maybe we should go model hunt one day hehe!

I believe the Baja is built on the Legacy chassis.

Baja is built on the legacy/outbsck chassis. Where are you at now Chad? PM me. There is a great hobby store near me. Called AAA Hobbies, aka Stevens International.

Sorry this thread has gotten off track a little. But thank you mods for helping me out when my emails were down:)
I dunno why it looks weathered...I didn't do it. hehe..better pic of the color.
