Gex Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 There’s a lot of want with this nugget....very nice sir! Is it a IV? What kind of brakes are you running on the LGT? Wagon is running 04-07 STI Brembos. It is indeed a 1996 EVO 4 with 120,000km and factory Ralliart graphics. It is still in Japan unfortunately. Wont be able to bring it in until 2021. I have the car in a Japanese work shop right now getting a clutch, timing, etc... so It is all dialed and ready when It comes over. I really have to stay off the JDM auction sites. I bought an EP82 Starlet GT Turbo last week to replace my ST205 Celica for rally cross duty. Should be a hoot. 135hp, lsd, 1900lbs. That'll be here end of November.

Gex Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 The secret is about a half rack of IPAs late on Saturday night and the wife and kids asleep with me at the helm in the Auction portal. The Japanese time zone when the cars hit the auction works out surprisingly well with the pacific time zone evenings. Its a dangerously fun combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to how you’re still married but that’s good to know, too. I don’t know how I’ve accumulated 3 cars and haven’t been divorced yet. Great luck and a very tolerant wife, i guess. Boxkita thanks for sharing that was a cool article. Speaking of funny wrecks I saw a newer Porsche wreck a mail truck last weekend. Porsche was totaled (ie no hood left) but the mail truck had a dented rear bumper. Really wanted to take a pic but there were lots of cops and just me driving so that probably wouldn’t have ended well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Not much going on in the wagon department. Took it to the grocery store this weekend. It is just a fantastic little wagon. As for my imported stuff. Starlet hit the port yesterday. It will get delivered next week. Since it was not here in time for a local rally cross at DirtFish on Sunday I raced the Celica. Ended up 4th out of 10. Missed the podium by 2 seconds. Definitely got some style points though in the Castrol livery. Photos by Peng Du Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t decide if the IV or V is my fav. (Kinda like those better than that same gen STi…shhhh….lol) The Castro livery on these takes me back to my days of watching the WRC on the speed Channel (back when there was actually WRC coverage broadcasted in the us) with the greats of the late 90s/ early 20000s. I remember there was this poster that had a bunch of exotic/sports cars from the 90s that said “Justification for higher education”. This last pic is such, and also my new background… Edited October 23, 2022 by SoobyDoobyDoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’d be tempted to leave them on display like that all the time.

I saved the drivetrain, most of the interior, brakes, and JDM front end. Rest went to the crusher. Celica was sold for a Pajero Evo! The Pajero is sitting at the Port of Tacoma waiting to clear customs. Really hoping I can get it tomorrow! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats too bad but rally racing is their heritage, so…nuff said. Lol. Glad you were able to find another and save some parts off it. That’s a cool find! You and your rare JDM toys…pls continue to provide us pics that’s seriously some good stuff. Edited October 25, 2022 by SoobyDoobyDoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I didn't realize the yellow-wrapped wagon I saw at Wagonfest wasn't the old blue one just wrapped. Bummer to hear about what happened. These things are becoming rarer by the day! The JDM nuggets are quite nice, I must say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
