my guessing is that subaru put the bags there to test some ideas for the aero behavior of the front of their car without really physically altering the car for toyota (since it appears that the mouth of the car has been closed off a bit)... that or they really wanna keep that swirly camo looking pretty and chip free.... OR some hobo was ran over at high speed.

I only trust Hachi because he was right before when he renamed the forum to FR-S almost 2 months before FR-S debuted. That's said, this is Subaru. :P

Could it be pieces for the intercooler of the turbo.... or just big STI lights ?

I thought they were testing out the elasticity between Glad and Costco brand trashbags at different speeds!?!

TRDliquidsilver > Hachi (Tech specs)

Hachi > TRDliquidsilver (Spy pics)

TRDliquidsilver = Toyota

Hachi = Subaru

I would side with TRD and say its a Scion and not a Subaru.

All joking aside, I don't have pics, I only have info lol. Whether you believe me or not, doesn't matter, but you do notice TRDLiquid is quiet since. Hachi has maybe 1/32th of what was taken yesterday, it gets expensive to stay on top of these things. All Hachi has to do is load the photos with a paragraphs or 2 and state briefly what he was told. The blogs and other sites have to conjure up a story before releasing photos. I would expect today, since they've received them yesterday but these guys might wait til next week, we have no control when someone wants to write an article and they may want to spread it out.

Arguing here is useless since we have 0 clue about both Scion and Subaru. Like I stated before, I believe Hachi more than anyone here since most of information he got was legit. Did you even notice that Hachi changed the forums name from Subaru 216a to Subaru 2000RS, and changed back to 216a? I think he got words telling that 2000RS is not the production name. I didn't say Subaru does most of the work. I also was the one of a few saying "Subaru does all the work is ". I just said that this one is Subaru because of blah blah blah... And how TRD Liquidsilver > Hachi in tech spec when he didn't say a word about it? Hachi might know something too, but he can't say it.

Agreed, TRDLiquid does not seem that informative and probably in the same position I'm in getting crumbs, but he is well liked and accepted on here because he is Toyota/Scion biased. Look under my name, doesn't matter who makes it, I keep it real. lol

I'd like to point out that I think Hachi has more to lose than TRDLiquid who is nameless anonymous, being this is his forum and a potential future income, therefore you wont find him posting nonsense or misleading info. Although there may be mistakes along the way but that's not entirely on him but on the source. He's just trying to stay ahead of everyone else. :happy0180:

SOA Blog > Hachi

They were the ones to clear up the naming thing NOT being 2000RS, although they didn't actually give any name up either :\.

PAImportTuner, it doesn't work that way. You can all the facts and the world and no one is going to give a flip with your attitude. Just saying, give up the argumentative/troll routine and you'll get farther. If anything ignore the people who rudely challenge you or provide something more substantial and they'll stop arguing with you as they'll run out of arguments, eventually. The guys here can and will argue with you until release so don't even try unless you really want to do that .

Also both SOA Blog and TRDliquidsilver were . You can get banned from this forum. At least I think Hachi could if he would.

Then your previous statement is pointless.

TRDLiq is always been on & off member, so expecting him to reply asap is too much isn't it?

Hachi have been awesome Admin. Taking his time & effort going all the new release FT86 designs & taken ridiculous amount of photos (some were member requested photos). 1/32th of what was taken? That more than what you have or other blog/site have shown so far. Again thanks Hachi

That goes to everyone (me included). Aren't we going way off topic? It's waste of time to argue bout ban/>/<. Main important part of this thread is where I can find that car & how I can highjack it!
