[@CarPhonix]

I have to say that this is your best video yet Craig! Super informative!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

what wheels are those .. sorry if someone else already asked i didn't see it on previous comments... great vid by the way ... never thought the car would look soo nice with that color

[@richardkocksworthy8423]

Cool vid. But not including doughnuts in the perfect ice car park is sacrilegious!

[@icandoit20]

that's one hell of a car. Makes me think about fixing up my old impreza.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+icandoit20 You should! These are fantastic cars!

[@aranapereiraalvaromauricio6939]

Its always Awd.. the dcc its just a locker

[@Jflux69]

This is Good.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Thanks very much!

[@simongoodridge5392]

The dcc cannot change the car to rear wheel drive, only adjust the power split within limits, the car always remains AWD. Why is the intake manifold not pwdercoated red like how these cars cofrom factory?

[@Ackyirider]

Awesome car

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

cool, thank you!

[@nathanaelchetty500]

[@jacksondoughty]

This is a great great ride! Thanks for the terrific film!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+Jack Doughty Glad you like it. Thanks a lot, Jackson!

[@YumpyTrain]

Hi Craig, just wondering what a GC8 would go for around right now? I'm in a 2000 Legacy GT-B at the moment. Great vid!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

tough to say. It looks like similar condition but low mileage examples are appreciating and setting new records, but some okay looking stuff can still come in around the 12k mark.

[@Wesley_C]

Aweeee yeh, that's my best Impreza.

[@lejink]

Just saw you on 1PugLife Really enjoyed this video, I'm subb'd Hope to see more soon!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+Dee Jay Thanks for your subscription man! I enjoy making these videos I hope to have some time this week to put another one together.

[@bumblebeeiscamaro]

hey, just wondering how much was this STI? this is the exact one I want to import a Version 6 Coupe Type r. also do you have a email, number or website I can reach you at? I'm looking into importing within next 3 months. thanks!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

You can send me an e-mail to '[e-mail]' to discuss similar GC8's. This car was a spec order for a client so I don't want to broadcast the price on here but we can certainly talk about it, and options for finding something in Japan to import.

[@bumblebeeiscamaro]

Bonsai Rides Imports thanks yeah I understand. I'll shoot you an email now.

[@coopsnz1]

Worth 30 k and up in Australia

[@leonidas8549]

I buy you the soi car from chile

[@11streetdog]

I always wondered why the pink color on the Sti badges. very interesting meaning behind.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

I was curious too so I did some digging! glad you appreciated it!

[@biggyt13]

Carphonix sent me!

[@Effay513]

CarPhonix sent me!

[@shibyiscool21]

Where can you find the triple gauge cluster at 2:48? That looks so clean!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

Those are Lamco gauges. I'm not sure that exact din triple pod is still made but I bet you could find a used one either in Japan or from a local Subaru club. Example: page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v500703963

[@joelmole8722]

4:12 sound of broken neck

[@justinthomas3052]

i love it so much the switch between AWD and rwd are amazing

[@max1me1989]

That switch is to open or lock your differentials not to switch the power to the wheels.

[@2.5_rays]

dude... thats sick... i need a doctor

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

2.5 RayS 🤢

[@GG-cq5vj]

How can a right hand drive car in Ontario Canada? Because people said that it is hard to get insurance.

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+GG 9 if that is what people say, I wouldn't describe those people as an authority on the subject

[@GG-cq5vj]

+Bonsai Rides Imports THANKS. Do you know some information to get a RHD insurance? Because I want to import a JDM. Thanks agian!

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+GG 9 why don't you email me [e-mail] and I'll see if I can help you out.

[@bobbranson8326]

I hate this video, I want my type r

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+bob branson The car was a lot of fun!

[@Jmoniz79]

that's a bad ass car , 1puglife & car phonix sent me

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+Jeff Mz It was a spectacular car!

[@Jmoniz79]

Oh I'm sure I'd trade one of my offspring for it lol jk but it really is a sweet ride

[@coopsnz1]

Super rare too

[@jonaustin2139]

love this cars

[@BonsaiRidesImports]

+Jon Austin I did too. This one was a blast to drive!

[@elbenja0088]

But thats a 22b...

[@Katana2097]

elbenja008 It most definitely is not a 22B.

[@ryanz3216]

Lol, that's not a 22b

[@elbenja0088]

If you compare the bumpers of the 22b bumper and the Type R bumper you will notice the car of the video is a 22b. Or they changed the Type R bumper for the 22b one.

[@ryanz3216]

elbenja008 Dude... Where do I even start? 22b has widebody, the wheels are wrong, the spoiler isn't a 22b one, the vents are wrong, the seats are wrong, the grille isn't a 22b grille, etc. There's more but you get the idea.

[@Katana2097]

Yes. I've seen this done to a few Type-R's. It has a 22B/WRC style front bumper. Exactly what Bunta's one was like. I like the look of the bumper, but on a Type-R/RA I prefer the stock bumper. I'm not sure why some of these Type-Rs have that style bumper. Perhaps its a special option. It is interesting though.
