"all Sti8 have water spray in the boot"

Nope they don't, only spec C, the GL's have the tank under the bonnet on near side. I have both having installed the rear tank as an "optional" extra.

The gauges are not "digital" but DEFI's ... yup that's correct, especially done for STi by Defi, STi also have the centre pod Defi sets available badged as STi, not BF version though and only version 1 gauge controller at this time.

cheers

Er, no. You're really not the brightest bulb in the box, are you?

So if that a 9 then thats mine - they've been out since Feb 2003 in the UK - so whats the point of this thread.

The point is that the STi9 is not the same car as your STi8. They may look the same from the outside, but the technical specification is fundamentally different. You can't buy a car with this spec via Subaru UK, so your "they've been out since Feb 2003 in the UK" comment is demonstrably wrong.
