the old isuzu stuff was awesome, on a worldwide scale they were/are a big fish in the truck market and have some really well proven platforms in some of the harshest places in the world.  i think back then we got a lot of their worldwide stuff and not the watered down, badge-sharing US market trash that we got later on.

3M/Bondo Restore Black - its a gel & sponge that worked wonders on my faded XJ plastic.  After a (very soothing) application, the side cladding was rich....deep.....lustrous black.  Highly recommended if your 90's trim is sun-bleached.

Besides looking fuckin' RAD - it's actually a really, really capable off-roader.  It wasn't some poseur 90's adventure-chic trash like the Aztek, it actually had serious chops up there with any Jeep or (insert something here) off the showroom floor.  It had a pretty trick 4WD system - Demuro did one of his in-depth videos with one of these if you want the full scoop.

Awesome deal on a trackday ready Miata for $8k.  The Rotrex SC kit is ~$5k by itself, & the other parts are quality.  Wish I could buy it, this would be a hoot.

I've seen that car around. It looks like it's pretty well built. I like it.


RE: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - WRXtranceformed - 06-28-2018

If this was LHD, I'd give it a serious consideration to go buy it:

If loving old GC8s is wrong I don't ever want to be right


Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - ViPER1313 - 06-28-2018

Loving them is not wrong, but 16g for an 8/10s repainted, interior swapped non OEM GC8 is Crack Pipe.


RE: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - WRXtranceformed - 06-28-2018

Oh I wouldn't pay that, but I would definitely fap on the hood


RE: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - ScottyB - 06-29-2018

the market for the old GC chassis imprezas in non-garbage shape has been stupid for years and its getting stupider. about the only thing leveling the market out from going into true absurd stages has been the import rule now allowing people to bring true JDM cars in, and that's now about where the ceiling is.

GC8 does nothing for me. Come at me, bro.

I pretty much agree with this. You would need to spend crazy money for a nicely done STI drivetrain swap and then you could have purchased a way better car. 

The speedlines on this one do look great though.

hahah.  I get it,  I LOVED the GC8 back in the late 90s and early 2000s.   Its what got me into subarus in the first place.  

But time has not been kind.  Now they just look like old riced out toyota corollas.    It doesnt help that Ive driven quite a few and the chassis handles like a tin can full of wet dogshit.  

Maybe in 10-20 years they will start looking vintage like old skylines and celicas do now.

I prefer the outback sus from that era. They looked awesome in their day with the two tone paint

its sad that this is true. there's a reason the suspension mod market for these cars includes....every part of the suspension.

I'm super in love with this thing:

11k-mile XJ Cherokee in Herndon on BaT

I swear that I saw this beauty driving around a shopping center in Reston a month or so back, just about broke my neck watching the same color/trim & the cleanest XJ I've ever seen drive past me on the sidewalk.  I want it i want it.

BaT jumped the shark when they started auctioning the lamest of low mileage vehicles.
