    Hello from Japan!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
    I like boost.
