Can any one tell me the differences between the 04 sti and the 05 sti type uk.
Thanks in advance
Karl

 

Biggest changes are the A-DCCD and wider track, plus some interior updates

Tony

 

does this make it a better car or just different in your opinion?

 

Does the 05 sti have something called yaw control and different suspension

 

STi's dont have a yaw control, they have a yaw sensor, 2 different things as all it does is sense
But does it make a difference? oh yes

Tony

 

bigger propshaft on 05, same size as wr1

 

sorry im not technical, why is that important?

 

he did ask diff between 04 and 05 sti, i just named one

 

Yep, and he wants to know if it was a worthwhile change or not.
ie where the old ones not up to the job

 

where does it say that then? or is it a cryptic grab a grand question

 

why did they change it?

what was wrong with the old one?

 

on that one you will have to ask subaru, both seem fine to me

 

So up to press the differences are
1) Yaw sensor
2) DCCD
3) Thicker prop shaft
4) Some changes to the interior
5) Wider track
Anything else.?

 

try a slow turn in a carpark ....... tick tick tick lol

 

i get a rear whining type noise from my 05 but not from my 04 cant be wheel/tyres as i had them taken off 04 and fitted to 05.

 

? thought the pcd of the wheel mounting holes were diff from 04to 05?

 

You are correct - they changed them on the MY05 car.

Dave

 

they certainly did, but mine are multi drilled thats why i took them off my 04 and put them on my 05. wondered how long before somebody mentioned that!

 

also

longer wheelbase (wider track at rear) with arch extensions
suspension geometry and caster angle changes
new helical front limited slip diff
more rigid steering and front sus mountings
wider wheels - now 17 by 8 ins in new 10 spoke design
improved aerodynamics due to engine and floor covers
