make them fit!

Looks brilliant! The blue wasn't all that high on my list until I saw this. Toyota/Subaru have had aftermarket in mind when designing the car, so lowering it a bit and fitting slightly bigger rims shouldn't do much harm. This one's obviously had some camber applied to it...

As far as your GTR-spec 17x9s, as I understand it, the stock rims (on GTS grade) are 17 x 7.0, and you can easily use 17 x 9.0s but both the offset and stud pattern of your rims in particular will be wrong - the 86 will need higher offsets and a 5x100 PCD.

Took one for a spin. Love it, was about to put down a deposit but I seriously can't make a decision between white or black. The black looks great in person, whereas in photos it seems to dull the lines. White however really shows the lines, but from some angles it makes it look like a Corolla. I don't know why but it's what i associate the colour white with. I think I need to see one to make a final judgement.

Follow enough white transit vans around Sydney and you'll come to the right decision.

Woah woah woah!

5x100!?!

What kind of black Subaru magic is this?

Red looks good, I want a red one, without a doubt they are the best sporty little thing since the 200.

How is the room in the back, OK for kids ?

apparently,seats are only in the rear for cheap rego/insurance in japan.

Here's a little teaser on how my 2 hour drive in the 86 went this afternoon:

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
