spooln30 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Nice for sure. I love the wheels. Don't see why it couldn't be tracked just raise it a inch or two. That guy or host of the show seems like quite the idiot. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 the host did come off as kind of a bonehead, but i think thats just his persona for the show. the owner was the guy standing next to the car on occasion, wearing shorts. at least thats what i got out of the video.

Bassnectar Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Stock twin turbos go for around 7500 - 9g up here in Canada. Are imports limited down there? Most of these only have 30k miles on them for that price. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Limited to say the least, if you want to drive on the right-hand side, we are limited to a postal wagon letting a CPU shift gears for you. Or do what Dave did and spend a lifesavings to import parts and work your balls off at it. Thing is no matter how many Japanese parts he has in there it still has a us vin# and smells like hamburgers and hot dogs..our delectible national foods if you didn't catch the joke. Edit: not taking away from what Dave did which is an amazing looking and running car I'm jus' sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnectar Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That is really unfortunate. My brother wants a turbo legacy after taking a rip in mine so we will be investigating the jdm twin turbos although I have heard so many negative views on the setup that the turbos may battle each other. Resulting in reduced boost up high. I hate the idea of driving on the right but for the price and mileage you get its the way to go vs buying a wrx for 9g with 130k miles Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That motor is a unicorn, a lot of people that import them here snatch the turbos out and put a big turbo to push past 20psi from the two instances I have heard. I'm not big into turbo charging because I could never get my hands on a car that has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnectar Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 What do you mean unicorn? Does it have good internals? And how tuneable are they? can they reflashed via dyno or accessport? Turbo cars are a lot of fun in that your powerband is exponential vs linear growth. Its terrible to think the states doesnt get imports. Canada is flooded with supras and skylines tons of gc8 wrxs and stis and there all cheap and a good way to turn heads.

GTEASER Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I believe the owner of that car is the owner of the shop that acumenhokie takes his 5th Gen GT to. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 By unicorn I mean its rare and unbelievable to have one here, in the two forums that I'm a part of only three are in the states I have heard of. One is actually a b4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I believe the owner of that car is the owner of the shop that acumenhokie takes his 5th Gen GT to. You Sir are correct. They will be doing my build as well. Dave has since bagged the leggy so the ride height has changed, also if I'm not mistaken he has been winning a few awards on the show circuit. The car is dead sexy in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastofWcDave Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. For some reason people think I spent my life savings building this car. I bought smart as I usually do. I only have a lot of time into this build. I probably have 250-300 hours into this and I chose to build it this way because it's US legal and no one does it. I could have easily done a STI swap but I like doing projects that no one does. As Rester said the car is now on Air Lift Performance Suspension. The car is a blast to drive and handles amazing. Here's a pic of what it looks like currently http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i187/hondateque/F2C5CB21-CA9B-46FF-8454-7819A3FB9155_zpslblm5wvf.jpg My next project is already underway and is prob the craziest car yet. Unfortunately it's not a Subaru but I think everyone with appreciate it in some way. Dave http://www.FASTofwestchester.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. the host did come off as kind of a bonehead Matt Farah is actually a pretty cool dude. Watch all of his shows and you'll get a better idea of who he is and what he knows. That's all I'm saying. Have you guys seen this one?

That's all I'm saying. Matt Farah is great. We had a incredible time doing the shoot. The house that the shoot took place was his friends house. We then went back to Matt's parents house to shower and get changed. Then finally went out to eat and hang at a few bars. Definitely a cool bunch of guys who really like cars, videography and anything tech related. http://www.FASTofwestchester.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 That car is amazing Dave, I mean, that would have been my life savings getting spent on that..lol..Great job, it would have been hard for me to let someone drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
