Well, I have been looking around at donor cars. It looks like it may be easier to get a newer NA impreza with low miles that any WRX. Now, I think as a street driver, 165 HP NA engine would be pretty fun. Im sure with the shorter exhaust and a no power steering, and a few mods, it may even get up to 180 hp. Question is, I wonder if there would be room to fit a super charger kit later on. Something like this http://www.raptorsc.com.au/kits.php?id=20
they claim 30% increase so that's about 215 220 HP. I know that's only equal to a stock WRX, but still may be an option if someone could get a NA motor with low miles for a fair price. Rebuilding an engine is not cheap.
My major concern is how much the supercharge hangs off the side. Any ideas?
