Default STi wagon

I'm kind of hanging my head in shame asking such a basic question & expecting everyone but me to know the answer to this but...

Was there a wagon version of an STi in the Hawkeye model?

Out of interest, were there any in Japan that ever reach our shores as an import?

There are a few sti bug wagons over here, have seen one or two on autotrader.
Nearest thing to a hawkeye sti would be a gb270, although that is basically a tarted up wrx with PPP.

There were no production sti wagons full stop made by Subaru, only cars people have brought up to sti spec. As I understand it.

Edit. Oh. There's a few jdm bug sti wagons but there quite rare. I didn't even know they existed.

there's a JDM V1 sti wagon for sale on e-bay based in Ashton under lyne. They were made in all versions up to bugeye as already said. I don't think there was ever a uk version.

Newage:

GDA = WRX Saloon
GDB = WRX STi Saloon
GGA = WRX Wagon
GGB = WRX STi Wagon (JDM only)

Classic:

GC8 Prefix = All Saloons
GF8 Prefix = All Wagons

Subaru decided that there was no market for performance estates.

As Audi have found out to their cost......

I have a bugeye sti jdm wagon , great car and quick , i know people don’t always like the bugeye look but i think it works well on a wagon , currently running it on snow tyres which work very well , it had a fair amount of suspension stuff done before it got here , so all i did was cat back exhaust remap and better security and a boot mid waist spoiler

It was one of those chain of thought things to be honest - you know how it is sometimes...

See, this is what happened - I bought an STi interior for my hawk wagon from Matt on here. It's STi front seats with the rear WRX seats and door cards re-trimmed to match the STi. It looks smashing by the way, but anyway, it led me to thinking about how it is a very uncommon interior to have in a hawk wagon. Then I was wondering whether the re-trimming is the only way to get that look in an hawk wagon (am I right in thinking that the door card shape is different in hawks?). So I was searching to see if there was an STi hawk wagon ever made. I couldn't find anything but thought I read something about a JDM import somewhere on my travels. Then I put a post up here asking because I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere.

That was the chain of thought!

ok i understand the chain of thought now , i would probably just do the seats the door cards are sounding like harder work , a lot of subaru parts are interchangeable but what to what i’m not sure , you maybe lucky and it could be an easy swap

Oh it's all good. Someone else did all the hard work re-trimming so it matched the STi seats. All I had to do was buy it and fit it, both of which I've done

All the interiors are interchangeable across the Newage models, no? Ive certainly got Hawkeye door cards (in leather from a Spec D) in my Bugeye.

As long as the additional brackets from the Hawleye are used then yes.
But a wiring harness maybe required for electric/folding mirrors to work via the door mounted switches if you swap the centre consul.
