View Full Version : what's good for a 2001 Impreza RS?
Any ideas for performance and looks for an impreza RS?
Exhaust? Intake? Springs? Headers? Anything?

How bout a carbon fiber hood? im not too sure about the RS, but last I check into a impreza wagon TS, the hood is like steel.. freaking heavy.. prolly loose a 100lb.. definately a performence gain if u make it lighter..:thumbsup:

actually you will shave off 30lbs at most with a carbon fiber hood on the 1st gen impreza...... 100lbs?....... yeah right. lol.

I believe that both Cusco and Kaaz make limited slip front and rear differentials that will fit on the Impreza 2.5RS. I wouldn't bother with the front, but definately get your hands on a rear, you will not regret it especially the first time you get into a crazy high angle 4WD drift ;)
Also you could have your doorsills, rocker panels, and hollow points in the mid-frame filled with expansion polyurethane, it would stiffen up the chassis without adding huge weight like a rollcage would.
BTW Great choice in vehicle.

And the 2000 RS.
But diffs are a pretty huge upgrade for a 1st timer. If u've got the money though.....go for it.
Checking out www.i-club.com is ur best bet for asking questions about this stuff.
