Hodaka Rider Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 If you could get any 1990 or older JDM Soob, what would it be? I found an importer not far from me, and want to get some opinions. Personally, I'd love a 1993 or newer TT Legacy, but Jap. imports need to be at least 15yrs old. He has a 1990 Turbo Touring wagon right now. Not to mention the Skylines, Toyota Sera, and other interesting machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I love the mirrors on the front fenders. Why do they have those and the larger side view mirrors too? Reminds me of the real old Japanese cars. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I always thought it was for seeing what was coming down the cross streets when you nosed out of the very narrow side streets. You had to be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critical_max Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I want a Bistro! Sorta looks like if a Mini (or a Justy) and an Impreza mated. http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/subaru/bistro/1997_1/photo/14052/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkankinPickle Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 could the importer ship over just a set of wheels?? If you could get any 1990 or older JDM Soob, what would it be?

Hodaka Rider Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 would i have any trouble in my state if i bought one of his hilux? i've never bought a canadian car before. Hmmmm. Seeing as these are not 'Canadian' cars, not sure how to answer. Maybe the best thing would be to check here . There may be a loophole, as RHD Legacies (in particular, among others) were used in many states as Postal vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Rider Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Like I said, they're not Canadian cars. You will have to read the NHTSA info if you are interested in importing one. My intent with this thread was to see if there are any particular cars that I should see if they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The Bistro apparently is a tweaked-front-end version of the Vivio. There are two other examples of this: The Impreza Casa Blanca (I'm sorry for the picture weirdness, I couldn't find ANY pics online of this car so I had to take a digi pic out of my Impreza Turbo book): Also the Pleo Nesta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkankinPickle Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 ooooooh, how about any set of alloy 14" or 15'' in the 4x140mm lug pattern. preferably these ones (the WRCspirits) or also these please! Made by BMB Technical Research in Japan. Wheel size is 5.5JJ-H2E1 (or ET). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Old Subarus? Hmmm. What would the price on a RX (3DR) be like - or any 80's Subaru for that matter? And, yes, wheels would sell like hot cakes, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 OK, maybe you guys can contact them direct on the wheels and stuff? Here's the link. Ironic that a Mustang specialist also imports sweet J-spec vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 id take a diesel subaru too. cheaper the better. im serious about this too Sorry if I am a little behind here, but do diesel subarus exist? Are they at all similar to the models we see here? Do they use a similar block? The only diesel sube or anything like it I had heard discussed on this board was a Fuji forklift. Please fill me in. Thanks, -Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 What about RHD rigs for Postal Work? There might be a good market for those. *Edit* I just went to the web site and got my question answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
