Bought this for myself two years ago on eBay as a xmas present. The seller had made the dubious decision to run it without painting or stickering the body, but still manage to both scrape, crack and (quite impressive for polycarbonate) dent the body.
Since it's never going to be shelf queen material I did my best to save it, paint it nicely and add the stickers to this McRae classic.
Hop-ups include:
Yeah Racing dampers (unbeatable at 8 pcs for $20)
Ballbearings with rubber shields
GPM turnbuckle adjustable upper arms
53342 TL-01 Speed Tuned Gears
53324 Anti-roll bar (front only for less grip)
53418 Universal Drive Shafts (CVD)

Very sharp looking machine, I quit liking Subaru's styling after this body. But these look so good!

Not a bad resto! Looks good and difficult to spot previous damage.
