Ya a 2.2 swap would bump me up to Group 5 for CRS events, and open 2wd for USRC. I get scored in there reguardless but wouldn't get scored in product 2wd any more.
RA a 2.5L is game for group 2, and CRS might change that rule next year. which would be .. omfg in that car

maybe grab a cf hood+trunk and lexan/plexiglass windows
Seeing how i can not find a minimum specified weight in my 1993 impreza service manual (the big 2 books) Looks like light weight fly wheel is on the menu , nasa says same material so it has to be steel.
so i'll probably go with a 12.55 lb light way steel flywheel i'm seeing on ebay for about 168, and a new clutch kit is 98. (guess i can give Kevin his kit back if he wants it )
so Dean your thinking the whiteline suspension bushings will be too stiff and i'll start bending metal?
damn i just priced out all the whiteline stuff with turn in ... hmm... maybe i'll double check with them and see what they think... I am on softer suspension now and usually use like 30 psi .. hmm... maybe i'll rethink or ask on special stage.
