I've just found this community and joined up.
I'm based in New Zealand and have owned a supercharged 1992 Vivio RXR since 1993. There were only two of these cars bought into the country by Subaru NZ.
The first was stripped down and turned into a rally car, and the second - mine - was put on a truck are toured NZ as part of the rally promotion. I brought this car from Subaru when it was 18 months old, with 1500kms on the clock. Now have 160,000kms showing.
I love this little car. It's become so much a part of the family that we've recently re-designated it: it is no longer a car. It is now our PET.
It's getting harder to find parts and I'd really like to buy another RXR for this purpose. The interior was getting tatty, so I've recently spent $$$ getting a total refit - leather seats, red carpet, leather door panels. It looks fantastic.

Welcome Andrew, I know all about having a Pet, What do you call yours? So did Subie N.Z. bring in parts for you and your one of a kind in N.Z.? or are you ordering direct from Japan. Did they ever say why they did not bring in more Vivio's? Really would like to see your car and what you have done with it posted up here, this is the place for your car / PET! Again, Welcome.

Hi & welcome to the forum, the home of all the Kei Subarus. As justyfied mentioned it would be great to see pictures of your Vivio. I run an '86 Sherpa & am in the process of building another engine for it. Would love to have one of the injected/supercharged EK engines. You must have been lucky to pickup your supercharged Vivio when you did . Look forward to hearing more of your story. Cheers....lincolntbird.
