But will you like the increased guy attention

Increased nobody attention moar liek.

Occasional glance/thumbs up from another turbo subi owner otherwise pretty much nobody looks at it. Really is a WRX in grandads jumper and it's so good. Pulled over driving it once on my P's and cop let me off with nothing even though I could've lost my license. Been through 2 breathos and even with a loud exhaust just go through like anybody else. Less police attention than the quiet as a mouse bog stock NA 4 door skyline. Less joe average attention too.

turbo subarus before they were cool.

ive never seen anyone thumbs-up any other car ever before. actually, except when someone on a bike thumbs-up when i was in an exige.

all i ever see is this:

or

The car I've seen the most thumbs up while travelling in has been either of my dad's Cobra replicas

They seem to be universally appreciated by all kinds of people of all ages and people love making it known to you

Second was a mint condition HT Monaro GTS with a 427 that I took for a test drive...bogans were hanging out of their cars for that one

What do i need to 200awkw it?

If it's an original RS engine afaik the heads don't flow all that well soonly capable of ~180kw atw.

Plenty of em had the noisy lifter recall(Which only happened if people complained) where they stuck early WRX heads & pistons. Those or anything else shouldn't need much. Fairly usual stuff, TD05-Big 16G/18G/VF23/VF22/VF34 etc, fuel pump, injectors, 3" turbo back, tune, maybe an fmic.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
