Anything specific or in general speaking terms?

A slight bummer so I'd pass imo but I'm sure its still worth the asking price.

And fuel is going to be a bitch for me when I get a BRZ.

There's weird Subie lingo mistake is happening here... or am I missing something

22B as Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B right? Real 22B was only made coupe (GM chassis) and was never sold here in US. If it's a sedan (GC chassis) then, it's prob after market 22B wide body kit (which they make for GF chassis too).

Which engine is in there currently? NA? Turbo? Also 2L JDM or USDM 2L? or 2.5L USDM engine? If it's swapped who did the swapping? Shop or yourself? & this is important one, is it gonna pass Cali Smog test?

From the price tag they're asking sounds like NA w exterior mods only (I could be wrong).

If you really thinking bout buying GM/GC/GF series, by all means it's fun car... but expect to cash up decent amount for old used parts, cuz they're not cheap at all...

Both actually. Thoughts on the X10 and thoughts on all their digital cameras.

Perhaps. I'll find out more about it. I only talk to him very briefly about his car.

And there are no more old parts that I could buy new?!

If you pick up Guilty, make sure to get the "Intense" version as it lasts MUCH longer.

If it's got the 22B engine, it's sporting an EJ20G that'll push 270+PS (underrated). Sounds like a nightmare to own in California though. I'd rather have the coupe, sedans are common, even if they have turbo STI engines.

No it would have the retardedly limited edition 2.2L turbo that puts down like 350bhp crank.

That's why Ichi thinks it's a mistake.

I was curious one day and tested the X10 camera and found it quite nice or should I say impressive for a point and shoot. What I like about it is the resolution is very good and the 12 mp 2/3 lens is bigger than most, also the aperture range of 2-2.8 helps out too. Oh and I lthought it was a nice touch that the X10 has a manual zoom.

I read though that its best use is for jpeg images mainly, in case that gets in the way of what you're trying to do with it. And then I found out it the noise tolerance at ISO is not up to par but okay around 800-1,600 range but can go up to 12,800.

I like Fujifilm's cameras in general and the X100 is pretty good too but I have Cannon cameras so I don't plan on making a switch just yet. I don't know anyone who has one now but they were manageable for beginners in my photography class from what I can remember.

It was a bored out EJ20G with a forged rotating assembly, I thought. It was SERIOUSLY underrated from the factory... published numbers were low due the "gentlemen's agreement" between Japanese auto manufacturers.

I assume the bigger bottle for the Intense version or the Intense version for the intensity of the smell to last longer.

[OrbitalEllipses]

Well, I was just saying...

I have the regular version and while it does smell nice, I think it wears off a bit quick for my taste.

Thanks for the advice. Helped out.

I saw a LIFTED WRX on the road with a fart pipe, the guy tried to make a left turn and the car leaned so much it looked like it was going to roll over, and the tires were squealing (in the rain) as the fart pipe farted.

My understanding was it was more akin to an upgraded US Legacy 2.2 turbo block. Seriously overbuilt, fully closed deck, etc... but with EJ20K style heads.

The damn motor doesn't seem to have a lot of solid info due to how damn rare it is. Which is why I doubt that is what is in the car Giccin's looking at.

2.5RS sedan(?) in WRB with the stickers and gold wheels maybe?
