Rallycross Special: Front-Wheel-Drive (yes) Impreza build
Long post, a lot to catch up on. Still have the CST10 and Formula, but the Formula will be sold.
Current stats about the car: 1993 Subaru Impreza L, 2wd 1.8L SOHC (Still 16 valve, though) Flat Four, N/A. ~110 hp. Legacy GT struts and springs all around; with Forester subframe, lateral links, and rear sway bar. RS springs are planned for the rear. AWD ready now. Next plans: Power and traction! Either 2.5 swap, or mild turbo setup with a front limited slip. It'll help clear the power deficit that kills this model of Subaru. My archnemesis is also adding power and diff this month, so I have to keep up with the Joneses. Quote:

The PO had cut the main airbox for performance, but at the expense of wicked hot underhood air. While the car sounded cool with the open intake roar, I wanted something more sealed from dirt and heat. Modified the stock inner fender ducting to get cool air from the bumper area with less restrictions in the process. It's also behind a lot of plastic shielding to keep junk out of it, and may even get a bit of ram-air effect from being behind the front bumper vents. I don't care for that, but the 20-30 degree cooler air makes a massive difference. Stock inner fender ducting: Short half of the u-bend removed (probably the only real restriction here), top sealed, and front of the box cut. MMMM, cold air, sealed filter box. So this is where we sit now:
