Amazing. Is the white one yours? You may be able to help @Mauromoto with his Crosstrek STi build.

Didn't know these were offered in any color other than White or WRB. That Grey Series blue looks nice.
I am going through the red tape now. Custom charges are almost 72% and the price is already higher than an overpriced S209 but am sure all will work out. Will definitely make a good update on that when it's final.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What kind of help were you mentioning about the crosstrek?

I’ve have been trying to finish a micro project on my crosstrek. I have pieced together an intercooler sprayer like the one on an S209. Steering wheel paddles and all. The S209 wire harness which is a an easy plug and play into the clock spring and throughout the sti factory harness ,(no brainer) I ordered the s209 harness from Subaru to complete my project and a few weeks later …no good. They will not sell me a part from an s209 without proof of ownership . Even a vin from an actual s209 was not good enough,I have to show ownership. I pleaded with them and explained I am not emulting an s209 , it’s a damn crosstrek lol but no good. Even had a great guy from Vermont Sports Car try and get me one . No good. Cried and moaned to Subaru America no dice. Someone on the forum suggested maybe someone with an s209 would help, I know you are trying to get yours and I do not expect any help but I just wanted to give the explanation. Sorry so long winded.

Nothing micro about this crosstrek project, you attention to details is epic and making if function like normal. This are the kind of projects that I love to see. I didn't notice any of that on the s208 but can ask a guy to double check a couple and if yes I can let you know and use those guys to source one from Japan, I can help if they can confirm this.

Once in a while Jspec motorsports have some interior jdm parts you might know them already.
That’s amazing Thank you and thank you for the kind words about the car. Let me know if any ideas arise , maybe I’ll get lucky🤞
Will sure let you know if something comes up. Also of you know of someone interested in my engine let me know. Are you planning to up the power of your crosstrek. Apart from that GTX I have a brand new 18k turbo a 500+ capable got it from guys at fullRace. I can cut you a sweet deal.

Thank you for the offer but I have a Blotch turbo. I’m running e85 flex fuel, equal length header , invidia down pipe, & an up pipe. I bumped up the performance a bit. I’m keeping it right where it’s at , fast enough on the street to be annoying, but still have some good manners. I’ll check Jspec, thanks for the advice.

Man, your build is very unique I totally can see the smile on you when you step on the gas an sti is a smooth car to drive and it's expected to have some get up and go. Now, when you take that feeling bump it up and it's in a crosstrek I can imagine. It's all good to get to a point and be cool with it. When I started my 92x project I wanted to just be faster than a stock STI then it all changed when I wanted to join the 500whp club. Am close to wrapping that up too. And have 2 silver wagons side by side 2 different setups and say my dream came true.

Dude that car looks sick.. I wonder how much they're asking for it.🧐
I just got to say this jdms subies are not cheap at least for them to be sold in kenya this pimped up one is 48k 15k cheaper than the STI NBR. Am thinking that stands for Nürburgring. The 2019 s208 I have my claws in is 89k before custom charges. The others are 2018s. Not even sure you can import to the US.

That's not that bad considering I've seen S209's recently listed here in the US for well over $100k.

Also didn't realize yours is a S208. Really really cool car man enjoy it and keep sharing it with us :)

No doubt, Japan had a way of satisfying its own first before anyone else. Turns out while we got the s209 they were already enjoying some upgrades the s209 had since 2016.
That's an s207 very spicy car I love the seats.
