The Old School JDM picture thread.

[ubernasty]

since when does a duckbill refer to a front lip (besides the b3)? I don't hate on any manufactures cars... the way i see it, either you know what your doing, or you don't. And if you don't then you

#1. rice the fuck out of cars
#2. have money but don't know how to spend it (see rice)
#3. don't have money but spend it in the right places (see fast)

#4. are rich and everyone hates you.

Well i thought it would have been nice to post some JDM cars that a member actually owned....but since the haters say nay, then here you go! A buttload of old school JDM cars that i don't own.;-)

Quoted for truth. CRX = teh ghey.

I want to know what a duckbill like this would look like on an E30:

The same thought has crossed my mind many a time.

Why is there a CRX in my thread? :hitler:

LOL....that's the first time i have ever heard anyone call JDM Rice!


It's what the term was created for.....i hope that was a joke.:tsk:

The very first car posted by OP has 16 or 17 inch wheels.

Why is there a BADASS CRX in my thread? :hitler:

Corrected for truth!;)




If 88 and 86 are not old enough then you need to post a cut off date for years allowed in the thread. To me a CRX is still old school JDM....or am i mistaken?

Wow, those two legacys are the business:up:

Congrats!!

Including all the electronic headaches and mounting point differences? Looks good though! Looks to be similar mounting points.

Thanks man. Yes and no regarding difficulty - I meant it more from a performance upgrade. You have to swap crank angle sensor, cam angle sensor and the intake manifold wiring loom to the WRX version.

There is heaps of other stuff to do, though, to make it work well... ;)

Shit no. It is essentially like an S54 swap into an E30.

Yeah that's me. The clear-coat goes on all Gen1s, mate. Mine had it bad on the roof and the original RS bootlid, too.

A 6-speed, R180 and good coilovers makes for a fucking awesome Subaru, dude. You need to get yourself a 6MT! Four-wheel powerslides and ripping the fuck out turbo Nissans and Toyotas never gets old - the best is when you can trounce a GT-R or Evo at the track (they never like being beaten by a silly old Subaru four-door that isn't a WRX)

I might get a 6MT, the PO swapped in a Legacy non turbo tranny, and the clutch slips bad above 11-12 lbs at high RPMs. I don't think I'm in any danger of running into a GT-R at the track Though I did on the freeway in my e30(I Lost :() But beating Evos and STis would be fun, especially with all my friends that drive them :p

About the paint, I'm know paint expert, but it looks like a respray to me, the rest of the car, roof, trunk, everything, looks perfect, it's just the hood and hood scoop, whatever it is it needs new clearcoat or paint.

Anyways, we should probably leave this conversation for RSLC

Is that the engine that came with the car??

Shit no. It is essentially like an S54 swap into an E30.

It bolts in the same as a stock one, but the STi RA was a JDM model that came with forged internals, big camshafts, bigger ported heads and a 5th fuel injector in the intake manifold for Group A rallying. It has roughly twice the standard power when tuned properly.

The Legacy/Liberty RS was the precurser to the WRX/STi so all Pre-1999 Impreza stuff bolts in and swaps between models no worries. Mine also benefitted from the gearbox, diff, hubs and driveshafts of a 2006 Spec C (JDM-only lightweight homologation model with plated 2way diffs, etc) so I could do 8000rpm clutch-drops without worrying about breaking a gearbox.

My engine copped a fair bit of extra love with the custom intercooler, bigger custom turbo, ported exhaust/up-pipe/wastegate, bigger fuel injectors (stock is 380cc I had 650cc), custom fuel rails (made at home), Haltech standalone ECU (incl. anti-lag and launch control) that we tuned ourselves... and I'm not a mechanic either.

Still, all that work and it was heaps of fun, but it didn't get into your soul, didn't get right under your skin like a well-sorted E30 does.
