Liked the car hated the bugeye look.

Bought aftermarket headlights for mine.

Don't think I'll wait for the new model although a 2.5 would fix my only complaint.

Looks like it's definitely the CPV35 for me

Looks quite bad as did the bug eyed one, but hey once we see one boosting past us in SUBI colours in the rally we'll all be cracking PHATS!!

Hey nobody here is questioning Subaru's engineering ability, however the styling (which is half the appeal of a Skyline) is just awful. That's what is being judged.

Pity, I thought Subaru were onto a good thing with their current front end design of the impreza. It's the ugly backside of the wrx's that have stopped me from loving them as much as skylines.

The ol' bug eyes actually look appealing compared to those pics

did anyone else notice on the vid clip that the rear ligts are not like the original pictures which looked like angled Alfa lights.

the rear lights in the video seem to be the same as current/bug eyes rear lights.

The picture in my post above looks great I think.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
