HISTORY
Well, long ago I should do this, but I did not dare... For a while I was updating the thread of my presentation but I understand that it was not appropriate. My BG4 was built in Gunma, Japan ... But far from the performance of "JDM vehicles", because unfortunately is FWD.
I knew nothing of Subaru, came into my hands by pure chance ... Still, I was intrigued by their comfort ... It's a fast car (Im a normal driver), and I feel safe in it. As I mentioned in my presentation, a guy crashed his truck and smashed my car, but I did not suffer damage ... This car has a market value of $ 5,000, so I demanded a judgment against the driver and won $ 5,000.
One, as a human being, tends to give love to machines ... That car saved my life, then it was time for save his life. A friend told me about the look "GT", he was talking about the model "USDM BG9 2.5GT". When I started to walk the junkyards, I noticed they had pieces that were "Non USDM". I went to the Internet, and discovered "JDM BG5 GT-B" this was "love at first sight", lol. I began to search for videos on YouTube, I found the commercials, with Mel Gibson and Rod Steward using the BG/BD Legacy ... I could not believe lol...
Then, it was time to figure out the "why" we had JDM parts in Chile. Here are just a one company dedicated to selling Subaru, the most basic models were brought from Japan: LX AWD MT/AT (the most basic) and GL FWD and AWD MT/AT (Semi-equipped). For more equipped models came from USA, the AWD 2.2LSI and AWD 2.5GT models ... On request, was brought AWD 2.2GX and AWD 2.5GX the latter was equipped with Heigh Control, Digital climate control, heated seats, Pet Guard, headlamp washers, identical to the German model (Ultra expensive, so I was never see one on the streets ☹ ). Nevertheless, there is a region in the north (Zona Franca = Free Zone), where people can import vehicles, without paying taxes. These vehicles can be come from USA or Japan, in the case of the Japanese, should be a conversion of the wheel, so they are as LHD. These vehicles may not leave that area can only go out with special permission to "vacation days". A JDM BG5/BH5 can be purchased for 1,000 dollars ... These people purchase vehicles to Japan for much less money, and sell engines for that price to which we are outsiders ... The junkyards here, are with huge trucks, they go north and returned with STI engines, Twin Turbos, BG5 parts, everything ... And we sell them at prices they can become very high .. but that's the business, so that's the explanation I needed. Note:If someone in the Free Zone, try to selling a vehicle, illegally, can go to jail for 7 years and more. But, if that person has lived and worked for more than five years and decides to leave the region, you can go with 1 car, that it is reasonable to their economic capacities.. Then he can sell his vehicle after 2 years :-/
My car is FWD (Why God!! :-( Why??) 2.0i with HOLD AT and Power Mode. The rear brakes are with drums (without calipers, like front), and there is more to highlight that. It comes equipped with manually folding mirrors, it brings air conditioning as yours, and de USDM "L" foglights, Thin side molding doors, clear tail lamps, with "Subaru" in the garnish, and humpbacked roof. Not equipped with cruise control, Airbags, nor ABS... Well, I can not make a replica of a BG5 JDM GT-B (I dont want a "race car"), because my car is LHD, so I need JDM Parts, and USDM and EDM too, for my purposes. Here is the list of changes:
