    Great to see so many past and present "Heroes" from the Subaru lineup. I did notice one Hero was missing, which has a unique shape & style to all other Subaru Impreza. The 2008 Impreza. The 2008/2009 Impreza even had a staring role in the Fast & Furious franchise (Fast 5) movie. Interesting to hear why its it did not make it into the collection?

    The 22B is a classic, but Larry Chen just had an even rarer G8 on his channel - the S201 which only had 300 produced. Super cool version with "every parts from STi's catalogue" lol. The wing is insane, as is the body kit!

    MCM needs to import the American made Subaru Baja. It was a modern version of the Brumby. It didn't sell well though. A lot of people thought they were odd vehicles compared to what else was available. That's why they were disconnected . Seems like they would have been a lot more popular in Australia

      As a single cab maybe, but not the wussy dual cab the Baja was. Look how well the Holden Crewman sold... Of course, then it would've been up against the local ute offerings available at the time.

Still had all the rawness of the Blob/Peanut Eye, but the perfect gear ratio and transmission to utilize all the power. I had an 03 WRX, 04 STi and now have an 11 WRX - love me some Subies.

      i think they hit a new level of their process. details details details. it ended up extremely nice, the color is incredibly classy, and the dark trim sets it off. more modern power and reliability but with the fun goofy character of the late 70s and 80s boxy cars. i agree it's one of the best they've done to date!

Being a suby man through and through ever since playing wrc on ps2 as a kid and falling in love, the thing i can say about all of them is they are simply fun. From the iconic rumble and cool noises, to the aggressive looks and cosmetic characteristics to the handling and raw driving experience they’re just so fun.

I also reversed the inlet manifold fitted a hybrid turbo equal length hedders and custom exhaust, Bilstien suspension. It was my ultimate JDM car.

    I had a '94 SVX LSi, and I miss it SOOO MUCH... Full custom stainless mandrel-bent exhaust, WRX big brakes (with Tribeca/STI rotors), RX8 wheels, 4.44 MPT auto conversion (really wakes them up, but a 4.44 VTD auto conversion, or a 3.90 or 4.11 6-speed manual would be ideal). It was such a fantastic car, and I'd still have it if it wasn't for Canadian winters and salt.

      I second this so hard...
      Sleeved, turbo, Haltech, 6-speed DCCD, R200, coilovers, big brakes (WRX 4/2-pots are nearly direct bolt-on. Fronts bolt right up when using Tribeca rotors, rears only require a caliper bracket and the use of vented STI gravel rotors).
      The one thing that really needs to be solved for big power and sustained high RPM on the EG33 is the cooling system, specifically cavitation at the pump due to inlet restriction, and the undersized crossover pipe between the heads. Besides that, the engine is more than capable. Just look at what Andy Forrest has achieved (1200HP).

Without being too pedantic about specs, about half of them and both old and new, so I think the name MSM might stick. :)

    @mcmtv2 did you guys know that outback's have had an option of a tribeca 3.6R in Australia since around 2010?? Amazing sleeper/all-rounder

    I have a forester exactly like that same colour trim ect and I love it. It’s punchy enough and fun but it is pretty bad on fuel and the clutch is ridiculously heavy
