Hi!

WRX DEMON Type R reporting in from Japan!

I can't wait to see more of the FT86. Especially the Subaru version.

I plan to buy it when I return home to Canada in a couple of years.

Welcome! Did you happen to go to the Tokyo Motor Show? TOKYO MOTOR SHOW WEB SITE Looks like you are pretty close. You get get your hands on the FT-86!

WRX DEMON Type R · 10-25-2009, 12:20 AM

Nah, they aint showing the subaru version, so i didnt go. Maybe next year.

West · 10-25-2009, 03:09 AM

Booooooooo! haha.

Ill pay for Gas and Ticket if you go snap pictures of the undercarriage and the engine bay

If staff security tackles you, the bail bond is up to you! lol

Well, it's Sunday night now >< I'm sorta screwed as I gotta work throughout the rest of the week. Ah well. I was planning on going today but I was at a party last night and got totally wasted. Woke up with the meanest hangover ever. Meanest. I felt like dying. LOL. Gotta go easy on the drinks.

I doubt the undercarriage is any different from that of an Impreza or Legacy - just lacking the front driveshafts.

Boxer AWD subaru transmissions look very much like inline rwd transmissions and driveshaft - only difference is that there's more of a mess at the front due to the front axles.

Oh btw, did i mention I'm in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. Haruna, Akagi, and Myogi mountain are less than 30 minutes away and a beautiful sight to see on a clear morning.

There also fun to drive on.

This is what I drive here in Japan btw

This is what is waiting for me back home - in Toronto Canada. My beloved Subaru Impreza 2.5RS.

Doh, Damn liquor! Time to go spy on Toyota HQ instead

Dig the cars, I bet you miss the RS

I miss mine

Exitspeed · 10-26-2009, 09:14 AM

Nice 2.5rs. Always have loved those cars.

Artie · 10-29-2009, 07:20 AM

Nice RS!
What is your other car? Is it a Subaru as well?

WRX DEMON Type R · 10-29-2009, 10:10 AM

Yep, a Subaru too.

It's a Subaru Vivio RX-R. Supercharged, AWD. Basically a baby Impreza, but with an inline engine. ><

Colin Mcrae rallied one back in one of the older Safari Africa rallies.

Artie · 10-29-2009, 10:21 AM

Cool, do you like it?

WRX DEMON Type R · 10-29-2009, 10:22 AM

Love it. But I miss my Impreza.

Artie · 10-29-2009, 10:35 AM

I know what you mean. I am driving BMW E30 now.

dflwrx · 10-29-2009, 04:46 PM

That Vivio is awesome, I love how similar the styling on the front bumper cover is!

Well, I have a chrome-molly cage, race suspension, stand alone, etc. So it's fun car to drive, but I really want an STI.

What kind of power output does it have? 150-160hp I'm guessing?
