Subaru Impreza

[DSMDude]

just got a subaru impreza wrc 2002 and was wonderi if i should do the rally car or make a street car from it!?!?!?

[BLiZZerD]

go with street, but be creative.

Make it a street car, but! make it so you cannot tell it was once a rally kit! That would be nice!

Here's a novel idea. Think as if you brought this car for real, modify the car to how you would want it as if it was your real car.
The cool this is your not limited by a budget

It is a rally car, so build it as one I say!

Converting a WRC to a street legal spec would be an expensive (and pointless) exercise, considering a full works car would set you back in excess of half a million dollars. And that is only if the factory teams would sell you one at all.

If you want to build a road car then use the road car kit!

I like how the Rally cars look when they get changed to street cars. Build what you like though. The rally version looks good, and the street version looks good too, IMO.

do it street.... i agree with circuit

[DSMDude]

i am goin wit street but now to the color question... should it be rally blue or black or maybe even white.... this is a tamiya model and i am surprised to see the color on the body ran and has streakis on it so i have to paint it no matter wut

[ToyTundra]

Too many blue subarus. I like black or white or yellow/blue just to be different. I've never seen a red one on this forum. But it's your car.

Those 'runs' and 'streaks' are a result of the injection molding process, the body isn't painted so I don't see how you can complain
Maybe somebody needs to add a section to the FAQ to explain the injection molding process used to make models.

I've posted 2 red ones, a street car and a rally car.
The street car is in the Impreza meet thread, the rally car was more recent, it's a Group A Winfield Impreza.

BTW, the newbie title means nothing.....there are plenty of 'newbies' that know more than some members with loads of posts.

Look very cool being on display together.
