No. Subaru doesn’t need any more encouragement to keep the EJ around.

*I get what you mean, though.

At the very least, I wish they would’ve kept the clearly visible fans behind the front side intake vents in the production version.

I remember back in Japanese import tuner heyday (‘90s to early ‘00s), Mugen was often derided as all-show and no-go and also a bit bland when it came to their bodykits. No one really doubted their quality, but many said that their stuff was overpriced for the minimal gains and bland looks. Now, this RC20GT is what we…

What do you mean?  Subaru’s STILL IN the retro bandwagon.  They still have an EJ in the STI.  HEYOOOOOO!!!

One thing that kept bothering me and I kept trying to remember and failing to Google an answer for: wasn’t Colleen’s katana broken in S1??? If so, then how and when was it fixed??? Am I just remembering wrong? S1 was such a slog that I barely got through it and don’t remember to many details from it at all...

I had an ‘08 STI that actually was stock (not “stock but with XYZ installed” or returned to stock) and single owner + adult-owned with all service records. I had a tough time trying to sell it at market value. All I got were tire kickers and nitpickers and ended up selling it in the mid-KBB range, which was below…

Anyone remember the NYC blackout of 2003? I wasn’t in the city, but my commute home started about an hour into the blackout ~20 miles west of the city along the same route as most people going home. As if that commute wasn’t bad enough on a normal day...

So I take it with this, they would be easier to get with a decent supply? When I was in the market for a ‘17, then a ‘18 after learning of the updates, all the dealers weren’t able to special order any and it basically came down to whatever the factory sent them and trading allocations with other dealers. That, plus…

Overnight parts from Japan ain’t cheap.

I think that’s a ‘96-97.  I remember those being the years that didn’t have the additional circular lights at the front.

A heads up to those wanting those OXO mixing bowls, I got the exact same set a few months ago from Marshall’s for less than $20. I don’t remember how much they were exactly but it was in the teens (I want to say ~$15?). Might be worth checking out if you have a store nearby and want to save a few bucks.

It was even worse during the period of time where Tom Ford was one of the main hosts and everytime he was interviewing someone during a segment, he’d end off by goading them to answer whether Fifth Gear or “some other gear” was better. Cringey.

Seems to be guaranteed that whenever there’s a positive article about Japanese cars, we’ll see a comment from you about how Japanese cars are lame but German cars, particularly the old ones that you bought for cheap and nursed back to life, are the best things ever. #coolstorybro

I think I was there around the same time! I remember that lady in your pic of the XJ220. She was lingering around the Kremer 935 when I was crouching all around it to get pics. I noticed after the fact that it looked like she was giving me the side eye in one of my pics, haha. Sorry, lady. I wasn’t creeping on you;…

IMO, they should’ve “completed” the arch of the rear fender flares now that there aren’t any rear doors to get in the way.

Nope. The Prelude was always meant to showcase something new from Honda, hence the name. For instance, ATTS in this 5th gen (which was incorporated in some form in the 1st iteration of SH-AWD), 4WS in the 4th gen, etc. Similar to how so many people say the current NSX shouldn’t use that name (although I don’t have too…

Nah, the front end of that gen always reminded me of 24 Chloe’s permanent scowl. Once I made that connection, there was no going back. And I saw it pretty much from day 1.
