Bahnstormer Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi all! Thought I'd swing by here as I've just bought my second Subaru (first Impreza though). It's a 2002 NB-R (anyone know much about them? Can't seem to find very much online). I picked it up last week and I really love it already. It's a SportShift model (I know, slushbox lol) but I really like the way it drives. It's got a few nice bits on it too, Cusco bracing everywhere, stainless EL headers and a stainless turbo back system - I keep finding new stuff! Here's a couple of pics: Fear not, the STi boot badge is now gone! I quite like the ones on the fog covers though...... I used to have a Legacy which I regretted selling as soon as it was driven away. In between the Subaru's I had an FN2 Type-R which was fun but the Subaru bug never went away. Here's my Leggy, taken around the time it was sold: Before that I had a Silvia (actually, it was my fourth one, but I don't have any pics of the others): Anyway, I'm off to check out the rest of the forums, nice to meet you all lol.

Kdyjas Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Nice motors 👍 think it means it’s an automatic rosscom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnstormer Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks guys :). Yeah, it's an auto with the gear change buttons on the steering wheel. You can also knock the stick over to the left and change up/down manually too if the buttons aren't your thing. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's anywhere near as quick as a manual car but once you get going it's like a 2.0 turbo go-kart . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Wotcha and welcome - there is less than a second between my Auto and sport shift option 0-60 as they both have the same gear ratio ultimately the sport shift just means I can hang into the gear longer, was looking at getting the column paddles and loom for that as well as I want some auto mirror loom adaptors from this JDM site so was thinking why not...
