As per title how many people on here are looking to buy the new MY08?

And how many of you will go down the twinscroll JDM route?

 

Yep I'll be there later this year, once I've got my funds in place and had a go in a Litchfield Type 20 or, if it's around a Type 25

Who is going to buy an ugly korean looking craphatch with a slightly better engine than the uk version.

nope

 

The JDM looks better than the UK version, if i was to have one of them it would be the JDM for sure in this case:



vs:

 

errrm it looks no different

 

except the top ones the sti and the other is the normal wrx

 

I have only the MY08 WRX JDM it had a lot of potential but will wait to test the STI JDM most reckon aroud 380 bhp off the new 2.0ltr engine with the 8,400 rpm

I a few options and no rush to decide

going back to the UK "Fold" if the 400bhp PPP was true, sadly not untrue

EU car 2.5 and tune it up to 400+

A 2.0ltr JDM and tune to 380

wait for the Spec C JDM

I considered it, but with currently owning an MY06 Spec C Type RA I feel that the standard STI will not be enough for me and will only make the move to an MY08 car if and when a Spec C or Type RA variant is produced.

So as a stop gap I have ordered a Spec C Type RA-R with Litcho.

 

Is Litcho taking your RA in as P-ex?

[off to check litfield site and drewl over the RA]

- balaclava ....Check
- Potato gun.....check
- big sack for loot....check
- streetmap printoff of banks and post office.....check


I'm all ready!

 

But the other one has a number plate reading 'STI'

Bottom one looks like...

1.) mouth of bumper is different
2.) vent on side is gone and fog lights instead
3.) doesn't have flared arch
4.) top has wing mirror indicators, bottom arch indicators
5.) wheels differ in size
6.) seems to have different splitter
7.) ...erm... COLOUR

 

is anyone seriously going to spend actual money on one of these pig ugly things??

 

after seeing one today in the flesh i can honestly say i want one but i wont get one due to the outrageous demands on road tax.

 

Top one is the real thing, the bottom one was a Photoshop "could be".

 

I thought NO but after seeing one in the flesh and it still has that head turning feel i would have one but mr lotto says no at the mo.

 

Yes, it should be up on the site within the next day or two.

 

Yip - as someone who has actually seen a new UK STI with his own eyes (along with a few other people here) that bottom picture is BS. The UK car looks identical to the JDM car - except it has little "Type UK" stickers in the rear quarter windows.



Actually - I saw it probably on the same day as that picture was taken - as I've just realised that its from Autosport International. Thats a UK car.

 

I never liked the idea of a hatchback Impreza, but certain people on here kept saying "wait until you see the STi in the flesh"
Well I saw it at the Autosport Show and it still looks crap. I was right all along.

But looking at the Litchfield STi and the UK STi, I'd say the UK model would be the better bet.

 

LOL sorry but i disagrree with that statement

Cosmetically different bumper on a UK STi and a JDM STi UK 2.5 7.2krpm 300 bhp and JDM 2.0ltr 8.4krpm 370bhp and quicker Rack

also the Top spec JDMis the same price as the bottom spec UK car

JDM top spec £26,995 OTR (other importer)

 

Not wanting to split hairs Tony but the prices start from £24,995 OTR and all cars will feature a number of changes under development Pop over for a drive if you get bored tomorrow

 

I think its going to take the facelift before sales really pick up, similar to the Bugeye situation. If I was in the market for a new car I would have a used JDM Hawkeye Sti/Spec C before spending money on one of these fuglies however well it performs. Plus I like the saloon practicality anyway and don't need a hot hatch.

 

There is your chance Tony

Test drive in the afternoon and Scoobynet review in the evening

 

Doh!, I’ve got a Japanese Performance magazine Journalist in the morning now I might have the Scoobynet hack in the afternoon . Should have kept my mouth shut

 

To be Fair I was at Iains when the MY08 WRX (GT) arrived, The impoter stickers were removed and we both went for our first drive in it

I off work all day Monday as well I'll give you a Text sometime in the Morning to check if there is anything left for me to drive LOL
