I remember seeing pictures of an Impreza Meet out in the New Territories, but I dunno if it's regular or not. Probably a pain to get to without a car (KCR's routes are limited).
BTW, did you get an Octopus card? Makes life SO much easier

Unfortunately, all the people I know in HK are only there in the summer and winter. The rest of the time they're in S.F. as my classmates
Oh, and I don't recommend getting a car unless you live out in NT. Driving in Kowloon and HK island is like a delicate ballet of chaos and death... but wait, I'm talking to Vanessa, you should be fine

Holy crap, my uncle lives in Happy Valley and goes to work in Central 
He's in charge of overseas personnel/human resources for HSBC.
Fun stuff nearby:
-Lotsa good restaurants in Happy Valley (I'll list some when/if I can remember their names)
-Times Square in Causeway Bay
-That big mall in Admiralty (it's connected to the MTR station, you can't miss it)
-Slightly longer ride, but Tai Koo Shing/Kornhill Plaza is a nice stop (I spent SO much time there as a kid)
-Tsim Tsa Tsui (duh). So much stuff to do there it's not even funny.
-Mong Kok, if you like rare and/or cheap items
Ah, there's so much stuff to do in HK that if you get bored, there's something wrong with you

I've seen packs of imprezas hanging outside of ocean terminal, but the drivers look like triads. and i think cars do runs late at night on repulse bay rd, and weekend early mornings in clear water bay. but i dont know if any subaru's are involved.
oh, and you guys hyped up black cloth street so much, when i went there last month, i was quite disappointed. haha.

There is a street in Kowloon side where they sell export over runs of GAP, Banana Rep, Armani etc... And for some reason, cars that are double parked in that street were nice Skylines, Evos, STIs, Porsche GT3s etc... I guess rich kids like bargains too.
And on Saturday night, you could see all the JDM goodness racing around Canton Road and the expressways. I would just sometimes stand on Canton Road just to watch cars gp by. my favorites were always Legacy GT-B wagons modded to the hilt
