If I'm going to the trouble of a non-native swap, it's not going to be a 4 banger...

Fair enough, if I'm going to go through the trouble of having a daily and a fun car I'm sure not choosing a miata.

no, but Japan only like... shift knob or valve stem caps or some dumb shit might be fun. Or handling stuff that work on the 12-15.

I'm looking for a 2015 to replace the 2012. That one will get suspension mods and an intake and stereo stuff.

Gunnar, check out Up-Garage. It should be a fairly ubiquitous chain, meaning multiple locations. It's like an Autozone for aftermarket stuff.

Also get me neat 2012 Civic SI stuff. I'll paypal you.

An American muscle car with big ass wide drag tires sticking out of the wheel wells in NOT RICE, nils.

I don't care what it is, that's f*cking retarded.

Suppose I should post the rest of the adventure.

Hit the Grand Canyon on the way home too

Put the TE37's on so I can refinish the Advans:

Dude. White wheels on that car

They don't sell nearly enough of anything wagon shaped without it being 'ruggedized' in some way. Look at the golf wagon. That's now an alltrak thing with plastic cladding. The Audi Allroad has always been a 'rugged' wagoncar thing. The new Buick regal wagon came to the US Market with plastic cladding.

The levorg is too car-like. Why bother bringing it here when they'll sell a hundred thousand outbacks in the time it would take them to move a thousand Levorgs?

But what I really want is a turbo 6MT Levorg Spec.B.

 

I'm actually closer to buying a pre-'10 Legacy/Outback turbo than I am to any new Subaru today, which should probably be a pretty big signal to SoA.

Unfortunately it's not a signal at all. They don't need to cater to their enthusiast market as much as you'd think. Enthusiasts are a very small percentage of owners and in any manufacturer's eyes, the BRZ, WRX and STI is is enough. They sell a shitload of plain jane Outbacks and foresters, I bet the xt take rate is low enough to justify not bothering with a performance version of any other model.

Saw a new 18 limited legacy today in white. I gotta admit only a drop and wheels is really all it needs to look pretty aggressive. the new foglight bezels are really sharp

Too bad they're all CVT garbage.

Anyone in the bay area know anything about this/able to take a look at it?

I think the manual one has that part gloss black. But if not, plastidip!

 

I'll be taking one for a test soon enough.

Yeah I'm pretty sure both sport trims it's black. You can also get the sport with a 10 speed auto that's actually a real transmission and not some cvt witchcraft.

Let's see if this works:

About the only thing I wouldn't want is the extra wheels as I already have a set laying around.

My bank may not take too kindly, plus I'd need to sell the Honda. It's a really long shot, but let me know when you're closer.
