Probably because of slow sales in NA.

The 4EAT-VTD autos w/ the R160 rearend have been discontinued as well.

Wrong, the R160 rearend(all viscous coupling equipped Subies except STi) is full time 50/50 split, and the R180(STi) rearend is variable between 50/50 and 40/60 rear biased split.

Not true for all 4EAT models. The ones with VTD have a split of 45/55. The MPT models have a 90/10 initial split.

Somebody owes somebody a shit ton of money from gambling, and it’s either fight or finger.

30 years from now, Boogie’s gona look back on his career and remember that, someone actually paid him $5M to talk trash for a whole year.

So what you are saying is helping the SEA region with medium range Nukes buildup? Do you remember a little incident called the Cuban Missile Crisis? Do you think Beijing will react in the same civil manner Kennedy did? Guess what the retaliatory position the Chinese will take?

HAHAHA, Price will only drop when there is competition. Growth of capacity never equates to lower prices.

If you LS swap the new model Jimny, you probably can get real close. 

Pricing in Japan is $1.74M Yen($15,400 USD) for the 4WD 5MT model and $1.84M($16,350 USD) Yen for the 4WD 4AT model.

There is already a huge aftermarket in Japan to make the new Jimny more “rugged.” Won’t be surprised if ARB start coming out with kits for the new Jimny before the end of the year either.

Hey, the 15 year old who did the welding on that $500 Chinese motor scooter resents your remark. He will have you know he has been wielding frames for 5 years now, and has personally made sure all his wields have the correct penetration. They may not look pretty, but they will hold!

If you think no one at A or A pored over the schematic, and layout of their servers, or controls 100% of the BOM of those boards, then you do not know how supply chain in high-tech companies works.

Chip? No! Need pull the stock ECU and install the obligatory HKS F-Con V Pro.

That looks like the bracket that came with the Autometer Tach. Why drill 2 holes into the dash hood when 1 would suffice?

Wrong, US steel pricing has always been on par with imports, it’s the sole reason Ford buys 95% of it’s steel from Domestic producers. A 25% raise in pricing of imported steel means US steel producers now have alot more leverage room to negotiate price increases. 

You had 18" Rays G-games 2pc forged wheels on your Accord LX back in the 90s?

That tach is what tells us most of these mods were done in Japan. The big, US sourced tach was all the rage in Japan during the 90s because of the FnF movies. They were probably over nighted to Japan.

Most Japanese execs have their cars detailed daily. By the company detailer, who is part of the staff.

How many have you owned? I’m on my 3rd Subaru. They will have drivetran issues if you mod them. Keep them stock and they will stay reliable.
