Read the above thread. My detailed reply.
It amazes me how much irrelevant posts and wrong information are made in this thread.
First of all, the "normal" WRX and the STi sold by Motor Image Exterprise are all UK spec, 225PS and 265Ps respectively. Of course, there are other variants like the Japan Domestic Market STis and the top of the range STi Type RA Spec Cs.
225PS models are a dime in a dozen on the road, due to the affordable price of $92k now with COE. They come standard with a 1994cc engine. Standard 5 speeder box with open differentials (no LSD) with a final drive of 3.9. Black colour seats. Lower air scoop in front when compared to STi (BTW, most of them opt for the higher STi one). 4 pot brakes...either the black one (Pre 2005 models) or red ones (post 2005). Diameter of front rotors are 243mm, STi is 294mm and running standard Brembo 4 pot calipers. No wipers at rear windscreen. Has the AWD sticker at rear. Boot has big subaru wording across. Hidden radio antenna. No climate control aircon. TD04 small turbo. Max boost is 0.8 bar. Dual tip exhaust. 2.75 turns lock to lock on steering. 3 cat convertors. Up-pipe has one.
265PS models are also a dime in a dozen. $120+k with COE. 1994cc engines with much strengthened internals. Molydenum top crown coated pistons. A more dynamically balanced engine. 6 Speed gearbox with Suretrac 1.5 way LSD. final drive at 3.9 too. Higher air scoop. Blue and black seats with STi words embroidedon front seats. Brembo brakes, gold colour, 4 pot front, 2 pot rear. Bigger drive shafts to take the abuse. Same AWD sticker at rear. No wipers at rear windscreen. Boot has big subaru wording across. Hidden radio antenna. Climate control aircon. IHI VF35 turbo. Max boost is 1.3 bar off factory. Single tip STi exhaust. STi NON optitron meter cluster with shift light inbuilt. Quicker steering with 2.5 turns lock to lock. 2 cat convertors. Up-pipe no cat.
280Ps JDM models are quite rare. Probably more than 20 pieces. I am referring to Post 2003 blob eye models. $150k with COE. 1994cc engines with much strengthened internals. Molydenum top crown coated pistons. A more dynamically balanced engine. 6 Speed gearbox with DCCD and adjustable centre differential. Final drive at 3.9 too. Higher air scoop. Blue and black seats with STi words embroided on front seats. Brembo brakes, gold colour, 4 pot front, 2 pot rear. Bigger drive shafts to take the abuse. REAR Wipers behind. STi quick steering sticker at rear. Boot has NO big subaru wording across. Climate control aircon. IHI VF37 twin scroll turbo. Max boost is 1.3 bar off factory. Single tip STi exhaust. One cat convertor only on down pipe.
Quick steering at 2.25 turns lock to lock. Optitron meter clusters with shift light inbuilt. Has sound insulation. 12 litre intercooler water tank at rear. Non-seam welded body. 17" normal STi rims.
280Ps Type RA Spec C JDM models are BLOODY RARE. Probably less than 10 pieces. I am referring to Post 2003 blob eye models. $165k with COE then. 1994cc engines with much strengthened internals, nitrided crank, high lift cams, solid lifters, sodium filled valves. Molydenum top crown coated pistons. A DAMN dynamically balanced engine. 6 Speed gearbox with DCCD and adjustable centre differential. Final drive at 3.9 too. Higher air scoop. BLACK seats with STi words embroided on front seats. Brembo brakes, gold colour, 4 pot front, 2 pot rear. Bigger drive shafts to take the abuse. NO REAR Wipers behind. STi quick steering sticker at rear. Boot has NO big subaru wording across. NO Climate control aircon. IHI VF36 twin scroll turbo. Max boost is 1.4 bar off factory. Single tip STi exhaust. One cat convertor only on down pipe. Quick steering at 2.25 turns lock to lock. Optitron meter clusters with shift light inbuilt. No sound insulation. 12 litre intercooler water tank at rear.
Boot has no carpet. Basic luxury items are all deleted from car. Has incredible castor at front, front wheels almost touching front bumper. Seam welded chassis. Different shock absorbers with higher spring and rebound rates. 17" BBS Forged rims. And of course, INTERNAL 3rd brake lights! Rear windscreen has the STi quick steering sticker.
This to best of my knowledge. -
wah now that u've said all of this some TS owner is gonna put all of those exteriors onto his ride and make it look like a WRX...
yea the Spec C has no aircon...but i tot it also has the Nurburgring sticker since it was honed there??? -

You got the bit about STi right...WRX is just derived from World Rally Car or WRCar.Originally posted by casshern:btw, does anyone know wat does WRX actually meant? i know STI meant subaru techinca international or something.,.

some people here are really jealous of other peoples cars that they have to stoop so low and post such childish comments on an internet forum. from what i have read here it shows that indeed there are many posers in singapore, most of which have posted in this post, posing as drivers when most of you are just school students.
frankly, many of you here do not even have driving licences or had any form of driving yet. most just want to be cool and conform to what the crowd is doing. so why not conform to what ferrari owners are doing and go get a ferrari instead? your so called driving experiences come from hours spent 'initial d-ing' at arcades and paying the bumper car promoter for your little joy ride in a bumper car.
so please, dont act like you all are driving a car, be it whatever brand. just wait till you turn 18 and then go get your licences and finally buy a car and stop wasting you parents' hard earned money on arcade games which will give you myopia in the long run.
for now, just be happy with your BMX bikes and skate scooters and your 'initial d-ings' while waiting to turn 18. -

Just this early morning around after Midnight,
Saw this Impreza-WRX wanabie racing with Porc Bosxter!
from Kallang MRT to Bugis Junction, dangerously driving in & out of traffic!
from my point of view, the Boxster can anytime WIN HANDS DOWN! Y waste
Time playing around? really degrade the reputation of Porc! -

Jiayong, it has air con, fitted either in JPN or SG. Yes, it has the Nurburgring sticker at the side. Earlier batches don't have that. One more thing, later batches of Spec C has black interior panels and black seats with STI wordings.Originally posted by AE86tofu:wah now that u've said all of this some TS owner is gonna put all of those exteriors onto his ride and make it look like a WRX... yea the Spec C has no aircon...but i tot it also has the Nurburgring sticker since it was honed there??? -

If it is a real WRX, the performance may actually be comparable to a porsche boxster. -
i am nt jiayong cos jiayong's nick is himself....Originally posted by spec:Jiayong, it has air con, fitted either in JPN or SG. Yes, it has the Nurburgring sticker at the side.

even so but handling lose for sure cos porsche is very well known for balance and poise....their chassis is very good...but if its a TS my car is more than enough to outrun it...tested and proven....Originally posted by cornyfish2000:WRX-wannabe... so i suppose it was really a 1.6 TS?

I believe even a STI needs loads of stuff to out run a 911....
But if it's a boxster than.....

i think a WRX can smoke a boxster quite easily in straight line... dun know about cornering... porsche seems to have damn good balance.
