New Car

[1sty]

Actauly, I think the STi is becoming too common. Sucks having a car that's superior build, perfomance, and features over its competition so it appeals to the alot of people.

Although that is on the roads. Now in used car show rooms, the MSP is CERTAINLY more popular

[jrodhotrod]

cool. I am a lazy ass and didn't take any pictures today, but my brother in law took like 350ish so when we get home he is gonna burn them all on CD for me.

thanks what i was thinking. im not going to spend 250+ for a shifter, though i appreciate the look see.

yeah, retail is actualy $300 on that ****** too
STI s*** aint cheap

doesn't the 05 2.5RS have the exact same engine as the STI minus the turbo? I read that on some subie board. Matt if I we, I'd trade that WRX in for a 2.5RS and slap on a turbo.

 

[Shane5425]

no, the turbo engine is a 2.0

 

[vindication]

what?? the STI is a turbo 2.5. what are you talking about?

there not the same. the one in the sti has twin cam and the rs is a single. and a few other differences here and there. the one in the turbo forester, turbo baja, and the turbo outback/legacy have the same engine but detuned.

the jdm sti has the ej20 which is the 2.0 which i think has more potential than the 2.5 we got the 2.5 for emissions problems i think.

 

[RODSCALIP5]

Next Years WRX will have the 2.5(detuned), but I have a feeling it will look ugly

 

[CHICO2003]

excellent choice! did you take advantage of the 1.9%?

I know they're not the same, but will be. either for 05 or for next year but I forget. but as stated it will be for next year

 

[Aricjm15]

I have talked to our head Subie tech before about this, he said that the exhaust ports are the exact same and the same for the intake, so both the intake manifold AND exhaust manifold will bolt up

no i took rebates instead because i was upside down on my car, and i still have 30 some thousand inc redit from my exwife on my report.

thats what my buddy told me when he bought it, so i guess he is wrong it is a 2002 Sti what engine would it be then??

At that point we are right back where we started.... attempting to boost a N/A car. What a headache (deadhorse . With the current platform you have much, much more potential.
