JDM Subaru STis

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Early models of these are legal now no? Has anyone seen any in Canada yet? Does anyone know of any companys with some coming/already here? Im interested in them but there doesn't seem to be many coming to Canada.

If I were importing a JDM AWD pocket rocket it would be an Evo instead of a Subie. There's no way I could leave it stock, and the 4g63 is just so much simpler to modify than that flat 4 nonsense.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Wouldn't be modifying a STi, personally love the sound of a flat four anyway.

I'd go with evo personally . but there it is .

Fuck yeah Type RA

If you're getting one, get that one.

Here is a cleaner one

I would also put pulsar GTI-Rs on my list if I were you, just another 2.0L turbo awd.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Body on that RA one looks pretty rough. Regardless I need to put the stock turbo back on my 180SX and sell it before I can think about a STi or WRX.

What's with the links being gone?

a friend of mine has 2 authentic sti RA's comming to calgary. should be here this week.

i would go after a classic sti. there awesome cars... and when something does break there easy to get parts for locally

I would not go for ths first generation STi version.
Version 2 is made in 95 and has dccd. also available in version 2 is the v-limited GC8.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

DCCD=driver controlled center diff? Any reason to avoid earlier ones other than not having that?

the dccd makes it worth it. version 2 has more hp/tq. The version 2 type RA is one the to get. has all the bells and whistles.

version one is handmade. the engine block is a closed deck.

no

Someone should repost the links in the www (dot) address (dot) com format so they don't get erased.

I think they were edited because you can't directly link non sponsor websites.

Fail. Hundreds of 2009 WRX's, Forresters, & Legacys on their second engine beg to differ.

this is true for JDM vehicles

Evos 1-3 develope the shitty gear grinds early on, even worse than the 3000gts,

evo 4's have that + almost 90% of them have yaw sensor failures...

at the same time almost all local 04-07 STis have a rebuilt or overhauled engine

STI 1-3 are awesome, you gotta pay 9k minimum though if you want one non-accident repaired and high grade

[That.Guy.S30]

^ where do you get the info of 04-07 STi's have rebuilt engines? that is untrue. if you said 07 STi's I would agree.

Just what I've seen on the market, most of 02, 04 and 07s
