You’ll want to show this ride off at shows and JDM meetups where it will get all the respect it deserves. Despite being a WRC homologation car, Subaru actually made the interior pretty comfortable and practical for everyday driving. Not only does the interior have the right-hand steering wheel setup, the factory “red tiger” seats are a nice blast from the past. A respray of OE Subaru Black Mica looks fantastic, and the fact the body doesn’t appear to have any damage is just the cherry on top. This GC8 is rolling on the original factory wheels finished in gunmetal, which look fantastic with this color scheme. We didn’t get the turbo Imprezas of this generation in the US, but it features a little more toned-down styling than subsequent generations, especially when it comes to the hood scoop and rear wing. Thankfully this little Subie retains its rally-inspired exterior appearance, including those massive front fog lights. It also sticks turns like it’s nailed to the ground, which is why the WRX is so legendary today. Mated to the symmetrical all-wheel drive and a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission, that engine really rockets this rally car forward with ferocity. Of course, at the heart of this car is the turbo EJ20G flat-four engine, which for its small size whips out a nice 230-horsepower. ![]() This all-wheel-drive, turbocharged car is a beast on pavement, dirt, and snow with the WRC pedigree to make everyone envious. It’s hard to even rival the legacy of the GC8. Not only can you now buy this from J-Spec Auto, which is located in Virginia, the JDM car comes with a Virginia State title and has been legally imported, so you can drive it on public roads and register it in most states. After all, it was forbidden fruit since you would have to go to Japan to drive one, and that always makes a thing more tantalizing. Pretty openly too.This formerly forbidden fruit is now ready for you to drive.īack in the 1990s if you were into Japanese rally cars, you very likely lusted after something like this 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8. ![]() NISSAN have openly admitted that the agreement needs to finish, because they are losing face with Porshe and such beating them. Very small for one thing and the highways are PACKED) This, each year, even more so recently been stretched, and to some extent isnt adheared to. The 205KW gentlemans agree was a responsibility sort of thing to show they were concerned with traffic safety.(their roads are pretty bad. Because when they had their limited run of 200 Ver 5s they had a series of serious meltdowns because of the crap gas. This is why in Assie the STIs are detuned down to 195 KW not 205. In japan they run 100 octane from the pump. ![]() This is AT THE WHEELS, So whats up with 205KW rated from the flywheel like the brochures state? jdm subaru brz toyota gt86 4u-gse 4ugse fr-s fa20 fa20d 2.0l engine motor with 6 speed manual transmission and ecu 2017-2020 2009-2011 jdm subaru legacy outback 2. Mine, with a replacement JAMEX filter in standard airbox and a 3" exhaust makes 223KW at wheels. There are a handful of WRXs in ".nz" that have 200KW atw. With Dynos showing 300 at Wheels regularly. ![]() There are however ones that come as a standard WRX (not STI) but RA that have supposedly 280hp, this can be disputed however. I think you'll find most WRXs in Japan are 184KW of the top of my head thats about 250hp.
