hello I am very pleased about that impreza is loved in england. very sorry about poor english. I do not hope to offended the great people of uk . i love england and enjoy to admire great history
It is a matter that your tuner in country of england has spoiled and dirty and broken the nice good name of the Impreza. It is the people of Prodrive that changes the Impreza good purity suspension discovered the STI but this is to be infected by the comfort sprung of the Mr Prodrive. it is only STI that make racing equipment of qualty and preformnas of race car. it is heared that the prodrive have made the impreza to a more plain car for the english people but from picture i see this becomes clear .Prodrive is only for rally contest but in Japan ther is supenior motorsports creator such as Cusco. You tune up off impreza is not radical maybe our Japanese culture is more extreme and has true love of racing and drift contest. You think your imprezas are modified good but is the poorer.Do your have drift contest in england as this popular in the Kyoto city but the popular most is the FR MR car of Nissan and the FR Toyota. The impreza quite good at Gymkhana. I see english slightly tune impreza only, only 8 cm muffler tip only exchange type air cleaner only softer non lowest suspension and purity plainer non aero kit
why do you nat put on tuneup parts such as theese in stead of them weaker parts of kn and scoobysport.

Question

LOLOLOLOLOLOL
If this is a joke it **** funny.....

If not. I'm from Australia so I dont need to enter the argument.
We remove our exhausts completely over here and run a Coke can from the turbo back. Then we cover our Subies in "Jim Beam" stickers.

Subaru - "velly tough as old boots"

I'm gonna get me one of those 10" mufflers. Then homeless people can stay there the night in the relative warmth.

Looks like the Jap police leave outrageous cars alone over there. Here, you may as well hang out of the window holding a sign saying "Nick Me!"

Castlemaine? Do mean the beer or the town? I dont think they make 4xxxx anymore (might be wrong)...Never drank it anyway, was too young at the time.

What was your run in the Tyrell like?

I'll find out and let you know if its still around (Castlemaine).

Is'nt is funny when a bulldust thread usually turns out to be a completely different discussion. Take this one and my "P1 WR" thread for example.

I think (there's a new one) that japanesse car tuner may know how to modify engines but they really need help with the aesthetics.

Yes it is a difference of culture.

Our only customers in Japan are ex-pat Europeans who, having seen all the bits available in Japan, prefer to import parts from the UK for their Subarus.

We do, however, have many customers who are Japanese... but they now live in the UK.

I think Mr Nakai's pictures explain things far better than he intended

Don't you just love that black rear spoiler? Pink struts anyone?

I think he's having a 'pop' at us! He thinks all Blitish Subaru owners are Girlies.

What he fails to understand is that our cars cost twice as much and have to last 5 times as long. They have their cars bought for them by their dads and are changed every year. They can tune them to oblivion and still have change left over from the UK car cost.

Styling wise I think the Jap taste is naff and best left for Supra 'medallion' types(he he).

I think what you meant in this case is that they need help with the ANAESTHETIC

We do most of our "drifting" at 100MPH on gravel between gate posts and trees.

Nothing wrong with our ProDrive/Scoobysport - suggest you crawl back up your own muffler!

Thumbs down

It proves that the jap buyers are, shall we say lacking in taste and sense. Take the 3-spoke alloys, they went out of fasion years ago. As any engineer will tell you, to make a 3-spoke alloy you need more metal so it is strong enough, then they end up being more weighty than the same size steel wheel!!

Mr Nakai
Could you please tell your friends to stop building engines out of chocolate - we actually drive cars for more than 2 years over here and engine components such as ceramic turbos etc are bloody useless for the lifetime of a car.
If your so good how come austrailia have the fastest road going scooby over the 1/4 mile?
Jeez - their all crims that originate from our country anyway!

I understand that Mitsubishi Japan have released a Zero fighter upgrade version of the Evo'5/6 (more power, etc no machine guns or bomb racks though) i understand you can have the red 'meatball' embem on the doors - tastful.

Not for release in The US apparently

Oh, i can just see the advert...
