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.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
