My pants feel very tight right now! I think I need a cold shower.

Thanks for the tease!

Man....I need a second job.

How about some addresses? I think that will be one of the stops for me in Asia...hehehe

Hello again S.S.!!

Yep, those wheel marts are plentiful down there since there is less crime. Just go in, put your favorite rim in a cart and buy it. I gotta ask my cousin if he can show me where all the Sti shops and third party shops are!!

Oh yeah! The advanced Gran Turismo cars are taken from pictures of actual JTCC cars. The Castrol Supra, Cusco Impreza, etc..

I also saw a EVO VI that had to be the most tricked out I have ever seen...But didn't have the camera at that time...Damn..

I just noticed in the last picture that the rear tailights didnt have the clear piece at the bottom. Just like my car. I thought that all of the WRX's in Japan had the clear rears? Or was this an older model? 95?

just showing some new members what the real cars look like... http://www.impreza-rs.com/ubb-files/biggrin.gif

Your lucky you don't have to race those guys in auto-x.

Snoop,
Um, I think you're supposed to use an iron to take the rinkles out of your pants.

cool pix indeed...it realy is a much bette country than ours in terms of car availability (not in gas prices, parking, or insurance though!)

The older WRX's amd STi cars (pre 98 I think) had red/amber rear lights..99 and up STi cars had the red/clear only (no amber).

Was one of te shots from Autobacs? God store...loads of STi stuff.

where is the Sti shop? May have to go and buy some presents when i'm there again this winter.

What's with that double wing on the red Impreza?
