Hi every 1, how r u's

I've been browsing this site alot in the past 4 weeks and finally decided to post a message,even though I signed up about a week ago.

It looks like some of the best looking subarus are here and driven by real enthusiasts with a good knowlegde of these cool cars.

Can any 1 please answer this simple question?

What is difference between STI, WRX, WRX Sti and SPORT?

Hello

Don't be put off by how quiet it is. Always the same on sundays, plus everyone's in bed early to be ready for the Shootout tomorrow.

Sport is non-turbo.
WRX (00-02 bugeye/03+ blobeye) is entry level turbo (on cars since 00, prior to that WRX's were Jap imports)
WRX STi (7 bugeye/8 blobeye) is more powerful and focused turbo with many improvements to engine/drivetrain/steering/suspension over WRX.
STi is WRX STi
Turbo is the old shape Impreza, includes many specials (P1/22B/Catalunya/Terzo/RB5/McRae) and any WRX or STi's (up to 6)in this shape are Jap imports.
PPP can be added to WRX or WRX STi to improve performance, hence WRX PPP or STi PPP

Just as I thought after looking at the Type R Corner in the Members Gallery.

They're all nice cars, but this is my favourite http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v...5scoobynet.jpg

Them alloys make alot of difference

Thanx mo,s scoobymonster

PPP is the Prodrive Performance Pack (different exhaust / ecu ) that gives the car a bit of extra punch without effecting warranty .
