Yet another, the tenth!
Posted by PatW on Saturday, February 18, 2023 11:02 AM

The Tamiya Subaru Impreza, fits together in possibly the best, easiest form of any kit of  it's type. Plus the original cars were built just 20 miles away at the Prodrive complex in Banbury Oxfordshire!

That is even more impressive in a way since there are no visible glue marks!

      Hey, neat little auto! Can it be built stock?

Thanks Tanker-Builder, yes there are a few kits that are stock versions, but not many and they tend to be the most recent hatchback versions. OR Buy one of these if you have some stock seats/wheels/tyres etc in your spares and shave off the bootlid/trunk area where the wing fits on.

There is a 1999/2000 two door and a 2001 to 2004 (ish) 4 door kit in the stock STi sedan but both were intended for Japan market only so they only have right hand drive. The 2008 hatch is LHD but I beleive it can only be done as the rally car.

Thanks Tcoat. As we in the UK use right hand drive as do the Japanese it suits us fine to import them.

Yep! I just mentioned it because most on here don't know how to properly spell colour or neigbour so may assume all cars are LHD.
