Man to be a fly on the wall during the engineering sessions for the 86/BRZ...

Toyota: "So to avoid spinning up a new production line, we'll be using the tyres from a Prius, the lower control arms from this other model, the fuel pump from this one, the power steering from that one. There's no point engineering a new part if you don't have to."


Subaru Engineers look up from an engineering sketch that looks suspiciously like a wheel:
"...YOU CAN DO THAT?"

Yeah but the guy who designs Subaru engines went out for a smoke in 1989 and didn't come back until 2012 and then he just left again.

How does a man who buys so many subarus manage to buy a lemon when he drops a decent chunk of change on his DD?

Subarus can sense an owner who has money, and they respond appropriately to this weakness.

Found launch control... forget I said anything.

How do you get to it? I don't think the VA WRXes have it.

"I wish this was a manual but this doesn't totally suck."

Having built-in lunch control is a pretty great way to anti-suck any sucky feature. Maybe Nissan should add it to the Versa.

Looking good. After a lifetime of dealing with friends' lowered Subarus, mine are all happily at stockish ride height. gently caress worrying about curbs.

2 door GC chassis are rare as hens teeth over here. 8ish years ago a 2 door WRX was $20k AUD. Now a good example will range from 40~60k or more. A rego-able 22b will set you back well over the 100k mark.

I mean, thanks to the oil boom and kids getting cars for graduating high school, we have a handful of STI GC coupes kicking around here too. They're even RHD.

I’d almost take that over 47 degree days

It's still 47 degree days, just with a negative sign in front of it.

You know.... with the way NSW is going, you could insure all your cars for basic fire and theft and then wait a week and wind up with enough cash to buy a house!

I assume insurance in Australia expects that Subarus will catch fire sometimes.

I would assume egg white would smell really bad by now if it had been rotting on that radiator fan housing for a few days...?

I don't know if I've ever seen a Link install that wasn't done with a cannon that shoots wires. I've even seen good Greddy installs, but never a Link.
