Most JDM imprezas here have a rear wiper too-actually so do evos and most saloons.I never use it-it would only leave a line on the rear screen. Thanks for the compliments on the car-I wouldnt like to see the shipping bill for a car from Ireland to the Us!

yeah the rear wiper on saloons is a JDM thing. I don't know for sure why sedans here don't come with them or manufacturers even bother to delete the rear wiper for US cars (obviously it would just be cheaper to have one kind of rear windshield and other related parts vs. two different setups), probably a safety law thing.

Functionality-wise, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone that have ever driven a car with on say that the rear sedan wiper is a absolute "must-have", so I don't really think it's something to gripe about (well, if you want the uniqueness of having a rear wiper in the US I guess...)

Nice B4, what have you done to it? :grin:

Havent done very much-the exterior is standard except for the front grille-its from Burn-up in japan,lightweight wheel nuts from D1 spec,japan. Drilled and grooved front brake discs,HKS SSQV blow off valve. Run it on 101 octane unleaded. Deleted the double din stereo using a single din drinks holder from ebay,Single din kenwood head unit with Ipod nano installed. Lots of washing and polishing with meguiars tech wax 2.0

Clean Legacy. Those wheels match the car perfectly.

Looks great!

Im interested to know-do you guys in the US get any JDM cars at all? There are loads of JDM legacys in breakers yards here-maybe you could try importing parts?

what muffler is that btw? It looks like one of those race mufflers. I have one to go full 3" on my exhaust but I'm thinking it may be too loud.

Its a jasma muffler. Its a bit of a grey area here-ive been stopped a few times and told to change it but I have an insert for it that makes it quieter than standard. Without the insert it sets off car alarms.

White LED sidelight bulbs to match the HIDs. And using formula1 scratch remover to tke out swirl marks-results so far.

:lol: Back to my roots with this car. "de tangoed" always makes me chuckle.

There's no real way other than to VIN swap a full car/chassis or import a car that's literally been sliced in half. The importation rules for the US are very strict, which is ridiculous and really only there to protect domestic manufacturers with having to compete with faster, cheaper vehicles from Japan. There's no rule against driving a RHD car in the US.

Oh yeah, JASMA isn't really a muffler brand. It's more like a Jap-spec regulation for noise control. The muffler you have is JASMA certified. :)
