Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 - Stars and Diamonds: Subarus and Mitsubishis Although Subaru's show-stopper this year at the auto salon was the BRZ, there was no let up on other exciting cars from Fuji Heavy Industries and various other tuners. This Impreza from Car Service Hiro certainly caught many visitors' attention, at first glance, looking very very much like a Mercedes, the big letters was the biggest clue to what lay beneath all that custom bodywork. The exhibitors were still giving it a once over when we arrived in the morning of the 1st day. Check out those massive massive wheels and the chopped roof. The wildest Impreza of the show? Back at Subaru's booth, they had a couple of tuned S206s. Take your pick. Maybe you'd prefer a JGTC racer? And if Rally is more your 'thang, here you go. This is the new face of the latest Imprezas. I didn't really like it. A little bit too chunky for my taste. To be fair though, it actually looked better in real life then in pictures. I tried to take as many angles as i could but it really doesn't photograph well at all. Elsewhere, Varis had an STI sedan all decked out. HKS Kansai also had a go with the STI sedan. Blitz showing off their lovely exhaust systems. And HKS Advan bringing on show the previous generation STI WRX. Rounding off the Subarus is Tommy Kaira's good looking Legacy Wagon.

Hi all, was wondering if it will do any good to get hold of an adequate ignition booster for stock subaru legacy GT. I heard from an article or forum sometime ago, can't recall where that boxer engines which use 4 separate ignition coils can't have a proper ignition booster to be installed with it. Any truth in that?

Was so happy that they finally made a CF version bonnet for the new imprezas until I called up e shop... Charging @ $1900 (with CF Air Scoop) .... Other models $1.1k - $1.2k Reasons are CF is getting rather rare at the moment and their version is super light 8KG ... Not even sure If can pass LTA inspection. Anyone here done CF bonnets or Spoilers yet, does the car really feel much lighter?
