WR1 blob v blob STI
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the WR1 blob and the sti blob.
I love the baby blue colour the WR1 comes in but it's fair bit more expensive the STI.
Thanks

Has dccd and slightly more power than sti ppp, 316bhp I think. Also spec c style black interior, driving lights, prodrive alloys and its own colour. limited in number so is more expensive to buy. A my05 sti has the dccd and more improvements over the my04 cars, also will get one for less money than a wr1. I got a my05 jdm sti for less money than a wr1 and is altogether a better car. But it depends if you like the ltd edition part of it.

if i'm not mistaken it's less but has a PCD of 5x114.3 which is much better than the old 5x100 and some other changes like rims of 17x8 (instead of 17x7,5), different interior console, different internals, wider track and other minor changes. Concerning handling, cornering, steering wheel feeling, everyone says that its way better than all previous impreza.

Even the MY03/04 JDM cars are better than a WR1 the 05 put the icing on top of the cake though, if you had the option between the Wr1 and ANY MY05 STI, it would be the MY05 STI as its a better set up car.

JDM's are rarer better equipped with better mechanicals and of course, quicker on that 1/4 mile and actually come with over 300bhp without having to be mapped up from 262bhp

There are a couple on there
I can mention Richard Bulmers MY02 Spec C thats running over 500bhp, there is a twin scroll spec c (cant remember who owns it) running about 550bhp on standard internals.
Most uk cars pop their clogs as they dont have the oil lubrication of the twin scroll crank either

Might sound a bit daft, but how do you identify a Newage JDM STi compared to a Type UK. If the Uk has been debadged do they look identical?
Are they more much more expensive to insure (I already have a modded Scoob with A plan)?

I have just bought a jdm, insurance same as a uk sti non ppp, ppp uk car would have been more for me. Easy to spot due to rear wiper, rear tints, defi style clocks, indicator stalk on the right, auto intercooler spray button amongst quite a lot of other items, Service book and handbook will be in japanese as well,

Well it does matter different cars do different things, the JDM's have better power delivery, in gear pick up, less lag etc and to show you where they have improved, the MY05 cars (STI's) use the geometry setup originally developed on the JDM Spec C car
Most people want to buy the best car that they can, and specifications do come into it, things like the nitrided/drilled crank on the JDM's that you dont get on any other market car, that rear wiper (its a god send sometimes, shame I dont have it on the Spec C ) but if you have a WR1, good on you but like most special editions, they are out of date by the next year (just like my Spec C is, but I still love her )

yes i agree it does matter if you haven´t already bought a car then a bit of info will make sure you make the right decision. Best to find out before you buy than after. If you already own the car and are happy with it then no problem. Some people would rather have a wr1 as its a special edition and highest powered uk car others would rather spend the same amount of money on a different model. Subarus all look the same to most but there is a lot of differences between models.

if i'm not mistaken it's less but has a PCD of 5x114.3 which is much better than the old 5x100 and some other changes like rims of 17x8 (instead of 17x7,5), different interior console, different internals, wider track and other minor changes.

Rims on the WR1 are 18x8

Yup they are, but they are the Prodrive PFF's and not a standard wheel, the standard wheel was (is) the same as the normal STI but in anthracite (see solberg edition cars for more info as that is what a WR1 is), the PCD changed along with a wider track and geometry changes on the MY05 STI's, improved A-DCCD with yaw sensors.
