importing cars that you intend to legally drive on the street is really, really hard. Check out the US Department of Transportation for the full scoop. Basically, they have a list of foreign cars that can legally be imported, and there are no subarus on the list. You could bring one in under the pretense of it being for display in a collection, or for racing only use, but if you got caught on the street with it it would be gone forever.

No, that car is not an RB5 if that's what you are asking. RB5 was a special edition in honour of Richard Burns. I believe they were all 4 doors... Either way the light covers said RB5 on them..

The dash in the above car is still GC, but looks like the seats and stuff are. Interior is not so bad since you have to pull the dash anyway, there are a few around. RadOne's '01 GF has a full '05 swap including the dash, looks awesome.

What's with the rollcage in that car? S-shaped downtube won't do much except bang your knees while looking stupid... Collapsable cage? Haha..

Hey just out of curiousity, is your friend's Lotus Esprit black with a loud exhaust - I think I may have street raced him in Fremont, hehe. Next time just ask to see if he ever raced a red wingless Subaru GC8 near the DMV
