[<u>edit</u>] US-spec

[<u>edit</u>] Rev. D (2004)

In 2004, Subaru of America announced it will sell the WRX STi. Subaru Tecnica International's president said in an interview with Road & Track magazine that he wishes to best the <u>Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution</u> in the US. Thus, the each iteration of the US-spec WRX STi was essentially the same as the respective J-spec STi Spec C (the highest performing STi version barring special variants). All the part numbers match up, including the part-numbers for the glass windows and dampeners. However, instead of the EJ207, the USA receives the first EJ257, a 2.5 liter version of the EJ207. Unlike the EJ207, it features hypereutectic cast pistons as opposed to the forged pistons in the EJ207. The steering rack is the standard STi's 15.2:1 instead of the Spec C's 13:1

[<u>edit</u>] Rev. E (2005)

As with the Japanese-spec C models, US-spec STis received additional rear fender flaring in order to allow an increase in wheel size. The wheel size went from 17" x 7.5" to 17" x 8". In accordance with the increased wheel width, steering lock-to-lock turns have been reduced. Wheel hub strength was improved. The P.C.D. was changed from 5 x 100 to 5 x 114.3.

wanna show me where the tranny changed? From what I can tell it is the same 6MT tranny that Subaru has used in ALL of their STi's....much like the 5MT (WRX) is the same tranny that was used in the Subaru Brat back in the 80's w/ virtually no changes. Typically speaking the 6MT is a great transmission, but Kirk has had numerous problems with his, maybe he got a bad one, I dunno...that being said, I still think that OVERALL the transmission is better in an STi, though not for drag racing, but the 4G63 is a better block for making cheap horsepower reliably...mostly due to its having been around for at least 15 years.

EVO > Sti enough said.... Still waiting to see what Shane's Sti will run at the track..

i cant wait just to see the car done. it racing is a completely differant story

They are both nice cars, but you guys that are saying the STi is way better, need to drive both.

but fuck it, just buy a 335i instead.
