What A Great Barn Find!

I've been a WRC Rally Official for The Rim of the World Rally when Ken Block was on Team Subaru. I currently own a couple of boosted Subies and an Evolution VIII. I love squirten dirt!
Fwiw I work at a casino in nw WA st.
A couple of times a year I see a couple of team Subaru semi trucks with New Hampshire plates in our overflow lot.
I have seen Travis Pastrana on the property, but I don't approach guests in this context
 
The Evo was a better platform for tuning than Subaru. Subaru builds a better car overall. imwo.

I kept my engine mods more conservative - streetable, but about 100 more horsepressure than stock. Probably much for my average autocrossing skills. TD04 with a 19T compressor wheel. 21 psi from 3200 up to 7100 rpm redline. Is not slow.

Swapped out suspension components until I hit a good balance between streetable and the ability to dance. I will never do this to a car again.

I no longer flog it, rarely using the maximum boost.

Estimated HP: Virtual Dyno 1.2.7 average of 4 WOT runs as of April 2015: 284 awhp, 273 awdtq

My son had a tricked out bugeye that got totaled in an accident. Insurance paid for his new VB chassis WRX and the Ascent.
