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

Mr_Bean_420-420x0.jpg

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.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
