Now, more than ever before, I am so happy that I got my RS coupe when I did.

orbit03 · 10-24-2000, 04:49 AM

I want one of those roof vents!

The six speed and STi engine would be nice too.

HKK · 10-24-2000, 04:56 AM

I'm in Japan right now on a business trip and stopped by the local Subaru dealer. I really didn't care for the new Impreza but after seeing one in person it's not all that bad.

Maximum · 10-24-2000, 05:33 AM

Ok, that does it. I think I'm starting to crack up after all the years of lusting after unobtainable cars. If SOA doesn't bring the new STi, I won't buy a new impreza at all...I'm going to pick up a pre-97 Impreza L and build my own STi.

KC · 10-24-2000, 06:23 AM

Gimme gimme gimme...turbo, factory warrrrrenty, Mitsu TD04 Turbo (Easily upgradeable), stronger chassis, WRX or STi, doesn't matter.

Gimme gimme gimme.

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!!!

STiShawn · 10-24-2000, 06:24 AM

Okay, I want a wagon WRX for sure. Where do I sign, who do I pay? I can then add STi Parts to it.

lanceh · 10-24-2000, 07:01 AM

manual windows?

what is this guy doing? Is he trying to stea something?!

I like it. Will it come over here? If it does, I am willing to wait for an extra 2 years....

FUBAR · 10-24-2000, 08:08 AM

Gambit get the WRX and trade it in when/if the STI comes over.

Jaxx · 10-24-2000, 08:19 AM

hey they fixed the front end

Now that is just sad...*sob...sob*
Poor WRX.

Mel 22B · 10-24-2000, 08:45 AM

Mr. Burns your car is ready...

-Mel

Rally Man · 10-24-2000, 09:14 AM

LOL! @ Jaxx

10-24-2000, 09:29 AM

no sunroof. wonder why?

justin

Subaman · 10-24-2000, 10:55 AM

Manual windows cause that's the Type RA, the rally-ready version. No sunroof because I don't think they ever had sunroofs in Japan.

Gambit · 10-24-2000, 10:58 AM

I highly doubt brucelee. Cus you have to realise that you can't just bolt on a different tranny and hope to get the faster. You have think about whether if your EJ25 is tuned for a 6 spd or not.

Gambit · 10-24-2000, 01:09 PM

I think they are nice. But there are other cars too you know. M3...

Patrick L · 10-24-2000, 01:26 PM

Nice tires, what are those?

shabby · 10-24-2000, 02:57 PM

KC do you think the td04 turbo is interchangeable with a td05h turbo(ie. simple bolt on)?
I hope it is, slap on a big 16g and you get gobs of power

Dan_E · 10-24-2000, 03:08 PM

I too am glad I bought mine when I did...Until they release a US STi... I miss the hood vents!

Although I wonder if the rally car hood would fit...BIG hood vent

sleeper · 10-24-2000, 03:55 PM

It's growing on me. I don't know what it is, but I'm starting to like the car. I'm going to tell my salesperson to call me when he gets prices and specs. Hopefully by then I will have won the millenium lottery in NY and be 90 million dollars richer.

Reflex-Arc · 10-24-2000, 04:30 PM

I tried to like it.

Those ridges along the hood accenting the round headlights are what ruins it for me.

(they belong on a Porsche)

shabby · 10-24-2000, 05:03 PM

"Hey cutie, can you give me a ride in your porsche?", "Sure miss"

Yeah baby, yeah

KC · 10-24-2000, 05:24 PM

It may be, but also may require an adapter plate.

I know one popular combination is the TD03-04 hybrid which gives decent high end pulling power without much of a lag time.

Now for a TD05H to bolt up to the TD04L mounting holes remains to be seen (but will be seen in the 1st week of owning the car, I can guarntee that.

)

I'll also see what other turbos can be mounted with little or no problem. (Frank, Frank-II, T-25, T-28, Small 16g, Large 16G, 20G, etc..)

I have a friend that works at a fabrication shop that could also make the adapter plates...so we'll see.
