I was playing with Subaru Foresters for a good 8 to 10 years and was importing a lot of STI parts from Japan.
So dont have a lot of rotary stuff. Only been to one meet. Well Corona screw things for a couple of years here
I intro my car in the very first post of this thread. It is Highlight Silver which, from what I read, was only used on the 1999 FD.
I believe there were four different silvers used throughout production, possibly not including the Spirit R Titanium Grey metallic (25G)
Nonetheless, our cars are pretty identical, except I have been steadily adding a good part of the parts/options catalogues to mine.
We have a relatively large number of FD in BC. We are able to import JDM once they are 15 years old.
The initial surge of cars had a very high attrition rate and in recent years the import of FD has slowed considerably, due to competition in bidding in Japan.
Nevertheless, considerable effort is now being made to preserve the remaining RHD and LHD cars.
My estimate is we have maybe 300 FD locally. Many cars that have been squirrelled away. for many years, are now, once again, seeing the light of day.
Wish we had the same level of preserved earlier rotaries like you have in Wollongong.
WE had three RHD entered in the VCMC AutoX at Mission, B.C., Saturday. At least two did very well in a day which transitioned through rain showers to clear skies across the 7 hour event. 86 cars participated, without mishap, in all, making 497 runs.
[Correction: Event was May 14th.]

Queueing for first runs....All three Westcoast Rotary FD were in the Street Modified class assigned the least favourable Pax factor.
Member took some great shots during the peak rainy period at AutoX Mission last Saturday.

Looks like photographer caught the squat as driver shifted to second, after negotiating the "Chicago Box" right out of the timing gate.
Hahahaaa, forgot the bezel was in the pic actually.
had friends cars written off by roo hits.
I've hit a wombat in my RX3 back in the day, like smackinging a 20 gallon drum of muscle.
Those lights look mad.
I'll be interested to see how long these LED last and quality of light. Were a mid range unit
1000 cars is insane
That would be such an incredible diversity of cars, you get a lot of police supervision and harassment?
we have found lately that undercover cops are going g to meets and drags and taking pictures of cars and number plates then later issuing a notice to front for inspection.....sad
And I think someone forgot to flick the summer switch here this year as well but trying to make up for it with decent winter 😅
Representing, two 99 standing out in the sun at the big Driven car show at the Hard Rock Casino in Vancouver (Coquitlam).. First truly hot day of the year and crowds were massive.
