JDM Legacies - Super Autobacs Subaru fest

[apexjapan]

Just finished up attending an event at the Super Autobacs at Shinonome, figured I'd share a few of the pics here:

Shinanome Super Autobacs is just a bit up the road from Odaiba next to route 357 and the wangan, or about 500m walk from Toyosu station on the Yurakucho line. Also there is another line, I think the Rinkai?, that has a shinanome stop as well.

Our next stop is next weekend at the Kashiwa Shonan Super Autobacs Subaru fest.

So is the next one in Kashiwa or Shonan? those are two different locations!
I recon Kashiwa, they have a huuuuuge Super autobacs and they love subies there.

driving there is a bitch, u have to spend most of time in traffic, but i might stop by.

I like the boot on the 5eat. I have the Zerosports one with the red stitching. It is a nice piece. The confused look you get from carwash attendants and valets is priceless..:icon_bigg

[Hanger]

^i want to get the shifting boots as well... but i hope them valets won't get on the car and wiggle the shifter like it's a MT

does that ever happens?

[FrescoGT]

anyone know what rims these are?? HAWT.

Not a direct link, but I can assure you, there is one at the Kashiwa Super Autobacs on the 16th/17th, the large one with the cinema on route 16. We will be there at least. :)

I don't care about the wheels. I want the paint color, and the spec B carbon fiber grille. (although the k2 riez bumper to go with it.)

That is pretty much one of the only 2 colors I would give up my GRP for, and the other one is brighter red.

I try to preface their getting in the car with "it's an automatic". Drive is easy enough to find (keeps them out of tiptronic).:icon_wink

[Hanger]

ah... can't wait to get it..

[axis008]

Any idea what kind of wheels those are on the Liberal Albero LGT?

[Legasee]

Any idea what kind of wheels those are on the Liberal Albero LGT?

looks similar to RH C2's or something...classics

[axis008]

Oh yeah, I think you are right Sean. We went over this before but I forgot lol.

[Legasee]

Is this a side skirt add-on??!!...I like that...makes the car look even more beefier!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Travel/Japan/Japancars54.jpg

[VTGT]

Where can I get that carbon Fiber grill :-)

[Hanger]

Any idea what is that piece on the fender where the wheel wells are?

[Legasee]

that strip??!!...functions more as a wheel well protector than for looks, IMO

[Hanger]

^just curious

[i_c_the_light]

Any BC/BF love there at all? Can't have a Subie fest without some old skool education.

you rarely see them in japan. sorry to tell you that, but i think subary enthusiasts here don't really bother with it.

$500 from www.japanparts.com

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Travel/Japan/Japancars54.jpg

i think our stock side skirts is already a nice piece, most cars' side skirts just blends in with the car

but an add-on is still good

[i_c_the_light]

What a bummer. They really are fantastic cars. In my own personal opinion they are a lot more 'raw' than the 3rd and 4th generation. The 2nd gens don't seem to have the same feel. I've driven all 4 generations and they are just getting bigger, heavier and more complex to the point where it puts me off wanting a newer Legacy.

You can also get better performance from them without throwing in a lot of money either.

[Mach V Dan]

hey machVdan:

how much is it??

Not cheap, and freight up to Canada will maybe prompt you to drive down to get it. Find it HERE (http://www.fastwrx.com/alfrbu.html).

P.S. Those side skirt extensions are also in stock, HERE (http://www.fastwrx.com/alsisk.html).

Hanger, I asked about that this past summer when I was visiting the Liberal shop. They sort of looked sheepish and said it's basically just weather stripping, painted body color.

In Japan at least, the garnish pieces are not sold as a separate piece. Liberal sells the entire tail lamp, modified, because the bulb that is in the top of the lamp cluster has to be relocated to the bottom. Liberal does that and sells the entire lamp cluster.

I could potentially import the garnish only, but then you would have to do your own modification of the tail lamp, relocating the upper brake lights down lower. That involves using a dremel tool and epoxy on the bulb sockets. I figured most people wouldn't be too excited to do this themselves.

since for USDM tail lights the Signal section is where the garnish will covered up, i have ways or i know people have the ways to relocate them to the buttom. But with all that aside, how much does the garnish cost just by itself, just wondering?

[Mach V Dan]

It's not priced separately, but having them retrofit your lamps costs $400. So figure maybe $200 for the masks; that's just a guess.
