hi all

im looking at a vesion 3 sti wagon. whats the difference between a saloon and wagon?

engine, turbo, gearbox, suspension etc?

will saloon coilivers/exhaust fit in a wagon?

regards

Imprezel

No one?

Nothing really only that its a wagon instead of a saloon. I have a version 4 sti wagon myself.

Imprezel

both vf23?
same gear ratios?
same boost?

Baz82

Between the sti saloon and sti wagon? Yes all will be the same, spring rate are slightly different on the wagon for load carrying afaik.

Not sure in V3 turbo wise ...... the V4 has a ball bearing VF24

Imprezel

ive heard v3 sti wagon is vf24 and saloon is vf23

Baz82

Confirm with the chassis number off the car that its a genuine sti wagon when buying as I have seen a few with the sti rear spoilers etc put on them

Difference...... Cheaper to insure!!

Imprezel

Thats not important but a bonus for sure.

I hope its big fun in the winter.

Almost everything fits straight on, and yes, great fun in the winter!:-)

Baz82

Yes ... just overtake all the people that get stuck great machines

i have a v5 sti wagon , and its turbo is a vf28

Also i think the wagon is slighly longer ,so an exhaust from a saloon may not fit,but im sure someone else can clarify that!!!

Great cars the wagons, enjoy if you get one!

I can confirm that they are the same length (well near enough), a full Scoobysport zorst from my old saloon fitted straight on to my newer wagon!

I thought the earlier saloon/wagons had different turbos?

Baz82

They are the same length the car is exactly the same underneath, The sti will have the same turbo as the sti saloon

Cool, thats me told anyway!!!
