Welcome to xBhp, Shad

Thats one awesome machine you have that everyone here would love to drive one day...the Subaru

Hi Shad,
Welcome to xBHP.
Great car man!! 490 HP amazing!
Anyway i too am a resident of Vashi, Navi Mumbai and own the same bike as that of your's.
Where do u live btw?

Shad Welcome .... thats some car you had. I havent had the opportunity to drive the WRX STI but have had the pleasure of the supra and the Skyline GTR with turbo kits et all.... insane is all I can say ..... I am sure that ridding a bike is a complete different experience and cant be compared to cars ..... somehow I still love the bike ...... and in India I think its much easier as a mode of transport and you get to have fun in the process. Enjoy your rides and do get Joel'd

Welcome to xbhp ...

@shadcool
did you bring the car to india? One helluva machine you had/have.
Enjoy biking.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I will be posting pictures of my p220 soon, atm gotta go to work I live in ghansoli for time being, work in andheri soo driving 60 km everyday going and comming from work in my P220 yes, cars and bikes are two different things and have different pleasures in life

I miss my subaru it was my baby, there are pictures on my facebook if anyone wants to see the beast.. It was fully modified to provide best of commnute as well as on need power that blasts even the likes of G7 infinity's and evo's but since subaru's are not out in India as of yet, i maybe getting a evo in a year or so depends if i hit that big jackpot and im not talking about robbing a bank lol

The modified thing in India to Bikes is very limited maybe noone has caught up with it in a hardcore way unless you want to joel it but some way i think thats still too little to work with.. Im looking forward to work and have fun with you guys Im thinking about getting a 5 bhp(5 hp) custom made mini turbo kit from US atm but still, im not sure if any bike can handle even that much turbo boost for being in 165 cc or 220 cc's .. So Im doing alot of research on that topic and working with a friend who does custom car stuff.. Sending him tech spec's of a plusar 220 to see if he can get something done in a performance way, we are talking about bigger back tire rims, custom made shocks ( teins shocker r awesome) along with many other things to even support a turbo charger on a bike.. Lets see how we can work with that and the bike.. Will post Pictures of my bike in the morning.. see ya'll around.

PS:- I did not bring my subaru to India, they didnt let me charging close to 3 times the price of paying for that car would be crazy for me to bring it.

Congrats! And advance luck for the mods and the Evo !

Welcome, and thanks for liking my work

hi welcome to xbhp.I too have a 2010 p220 err 230 to be exact,got the bike joelled last week.Rode all the way to bangalore to get the job done.Some of the mods joel had done-Head ported,big bore(includes a high comp semiforged piston),FFE,Mikuni 33mm semi flat.The bike is quite different now,though have to sort out some tuning issues(running rich now).Just noticed you live in ghansoli,i live in andheri and my office is in Airoli(opp Digha lake to be more precise),my swift Di doing the office commuting duty.Hope to catch up with you,would love to see some photos of the Impreza.

No problem bro.. please come out with more Mods for our little devils

Velo, sure we can meet up any time, I live in ghansoli but work in andheri I go to andheri everyday at work time which is 10:30 pm to 7:30 am Night shifts, Im working for Sitel for now, also own my own business on side which my brother runs and pays full attention to

I will find out my week offs this friday evening, so would let you know, just private message me, i wanted to talk to you about the mods done on your bike and stuff u know ... Hope to see you soon.. Would want to also check out your bike..

I will be posting my car pictures here soon, I just need to find time to load them off facebook and load them on photobucket and post them here.. Also will be posting my Bike pictures soon and what I have done to it for now.. Im not a big fan of stickons (Plusar sign) so What I have done is, remove the stick ons from the Plusar the 220 sign in the back panel, the side, did not removed the bajaj sign on front headlight head, and on the engine since they are ETCH'ed and the headlight head wont look soo good without it unless i get a transformers logo to replace it LOL


Personally I have driven the Skyline GTR (newer one) when it came out in 2008, full black, but it didnt provide me as much fun as a Subaru does.. Subaru is just different, whole alot of fun and it's a beast that contains within soo beautifully, When it comes to cars, I have driven from Infinity to Merc to Lexus but the comfert level that Subaru provides is subpar to any other car out there.. Cars like Evo, Wrx are just wonderful of what a small 2 lt engine can do when connected to a nice turbo charger and the pick up it provides is deadly as hell.. You cannot imangine the raw power it provides and when you hit the rpm of 4 and the turbo spools in.. It's like heaven on earth, the G's forces you to stick to your seat and not move an inch.. It's to Much fun...

Of course you cannot compaire bikes to cars its like compairing two girls at the same time, stating which girl would actually be with me for long time.. I love them both and i love them both girls too LOL.. But bikes are fun but dangerious, I have had a accident with my plusar already and broken fracture on my right shoulder.. this happened last June took 2 months to recover, Im able to drive my bike

**Updated.. Bike pictures on Page 1**

hey..welcome to XBHP..

Thanks alot.. Im posting more pictures of my bike Enjoy

Re: From Driver, To Biker!!

It's been so long but I'm back on this site or err the app of the site. Thought I did bump this old post of mine to show people I haven't forgotten anyone. Since this is my welcome back post I would like to say thanks to everyone on Xbhp for making my life wonderful with witty posts, toxic humor, and flat out amazing reviews of bikes and experiences. Updates about my life, I was biking P220 for 5 years before I sold my blue beast to someone on olx who was a college student so I had to explain to him the value of the bike and he happy listened. So now I been riding my wife's activa for the past 6 months and brought a Honda city for more family times. I have also been blessed with my beautiful daughter. Other then that I'm also hunting for a brand new bike. This time I have my eyes on a Apache 200 for everyday work commute and some weekend fun with wife. So I hope as always you guys would welcome me with open arms. Again Thanks Xbhp for giving me a chance to show who I'm.
