Tyres got to be black at all times! That's the rules

Treated the car to some new discs and pads. 2 piece front set-up for a bit of weight saving. They're machined for pre and post 2007 STI Brembos, hence the 10 holes!

 

 

Not often they come up for sale. One here though.

Yes. Powered by 12v, not mechanically.

Picture of mine below.

Pretty rare car for sale over in Japan from the same dealer I bought my TBSTI from. Even rarer being the 5MT. Not often these come up for sale. Only a handful in the UK.

Sans roof box.

 

 

Amazing car!

I'd love a LHD one...

I'm jealous!

 

As a JDM only model, you've no chance. Only way is to build one.

I'm sure that you need to connect it to the BtSsm app for all functions to work.

Just a reminder that you won't get a rumble from the twin scroll. You'd have to change everything, headers/up pipe, downpipe, turbo just to get that sound. The twin scroll is the only 2.0 that generates more torque than bhp. The JDM twin scroll is a lot more refined/quieter on the road than all other Legacies.

After seeing what MDMA was able to get in UK from Japan I am thinking about starting a GoFundMe campaign to sue the feds to have that stupid 25 years limit on importing cars lifted. It's frustrating what others can get for not that much money.

 

I've never understood the rule you have over there. It would be classed as competition law over here. It is an anti-competitive activity that is basically running a cartel. The system is being fixed and controlled in such a way that you, the consumer, can only buy what they say.

So much for the world's number one free market!

Couple of pics from 5 minutes ago. The sun just tailing off in the distance.

 

 

My favourite view of the wagon. Rear 3/4. Still looks good for a 14 year old car.

 

I had a full service on my fresh import when it landed a few months ago. Belts, water pump, plugs, box serviced, diffs serviced and most importantly, re-mapped for the fuel I was going to use (Shell 99 Ron). Whatever you do, have it mapped for your local fuel. I also had a full Dinitrol rust treatment done on it. I won't use it in bad weather, just had it done for peace of mind.

I wouldn't bother with the cats/downpipes etc. These are not far off the limit performance wise on the stock motor (280bhp for the manual). 300bhp about the limit on stock rods on the JDM motor. Everyone I know with one keeps them to about 1.2bar. Any more, they all end up throwing a rod.

MDMA, Hey you need to stop posting those amazing photo's, you're making me jealous.

 

Your cars are gorgeous.

 

Just for you -

MDMA is living the Subie enthusiast dream- double wagons for driving, and a unicorn to appreciate aka obsess over. #goals

No. I daily a 2005 wagon. The TBSTI is just a weekend toy.

 

Connected up my battery conditioner while it's sat in the garage.
