I've seen a couple early 90's Impreza's going for $1-2K and was wondering if getting one like that and playing around in a stock class would be a good idea. Ofcourse, stuff like suspension components need to be replaced with stock replacement parts, but I'm figuring it'll be cheap and fun ... what ya'll think?

I've seriously kicked around the idea the past couple years of finding a mid-90s 2.2L Impreza and autocrossing it in stock. They run in the slowest stock class (H Stock), which is really diverse and a good "momentum car" class. Just get some decent shocks, spare wheels, r-compound tires and go!

I have an '03 WRX and I love it. The 5-speed box is a POS, but rev-match and you shouldn't have any problems. The earlier cars were low enough on power that they are pretty much bulletproof. (and if you want more hp, all the stuff from the MY02+ turbo WRX's bolts right in. Check out www.rs25.com and www.nasioc.com. Lots of good info there.

Pat, it's a long drive for you but you should come down to the Dixie NT. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

sounds like fun but.....

wouldn't it cost about the same to get an old Miata.... autocross it for a couple years... decide you're board with autocross.... and then prep it for Spec Miata...?...
