STORY:
My name is Idin (pronounced like Eye-din).
I always knew Imprezas through the original Legacy and GC Impreza 555 rally cars but my favourite car was Lancia Delta Integrale HFs. That was until I started semi competitive PC rally gaming a(before I became a doctor and got too busy lol) and came across THE blue car with a different sound :-)
It had some understeer but lift off and left foot braking was almost magical and soon it was my favourite car...
Long story short, I have a 2002 genuine bugeye STI. Two years ago I bought a GR white hatch but ended up cancelling the order as
1-The bug "felt" better as more involving and analogue. Almost a nice hybrid between GC and GD having good attributes of each: raw and feelsome gc and chassis rigidity of GD, noting the little fanboy within :-)
2- The dealer took too damn long to deliver.
GOAL:
A STI GT3, as an uncompromising ROAD car.
Please bear with me as I am not very good with computer stuff :-/
Any help in improvement of journal is greatly appreciated.
