Hi Everyone,

Glenn from Revolution here,

We've been asked from our bodykit manufacturers (Orciari and Zero Sports) to get a feel for the next Impreza due out later this year and see wether or not it's worth getting a bodykit and other parts ready for the UK launch or just wait until next year.

Yes I know what your all going to suggest a front grille, me too, but can scoobynet members give us any other ideas on how many are going to trade up to the latest model straight away.
If so, any ideas on what you guys (and girls) would be looking for in subtle but effective upgrades.

We have put some ideas down on paper already but we really do value your opinion on this one as its no good getting kits designed if no one likes them.

Also does anyone know of the official due date is as we've tried to get a date to order an STI without any answers apart from October ish.

Ideas and help would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Glenn

I always thought the removal of the grills from the bonnet was a backward step, manufacture some nice grills for attaching to the bonnet and you will have a winner, IMO.

I cannot remember whether the 06 car pictures have shown any grills?

Anyway, thats my 2ps worth .............. stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap and you'll have a mile long queue!

front lip splitter of some kind to lower the front end.

 

Thanks guys, keep it up!!!!

i'll only be interested i the engine is a right monster,

but if you get the bodykits ready, i bet ya be a really rich man

 

Funnily enough I was looking at doing a similar thing..

I was thinking about selling disguises for the drivers, saves the embarresment and cheaper

 

If i had the money to do so at the moment, i would have one on order straight away.

I think they are propa

 

i was thinking of changing,but after studying the picks and spec's(scoobymag)i think i will be getting a pre reg my 05 when the new one is released,should save a good few $$$$$$$$$$$$

 

i'm keeping my 03sti now
did have new one on order but changed my mind

budgie

 

Bought an '05 based on the looks of the '06

 

I'm waiting for the MY07

 

whats a my07?

 

its the one that hopfuly subaru will get right after the my06

Will

 

lol ok

 

is this mail order or specialis or can you just get it off the wh smith top shelf ........oops freudian slip meant motoring shelf

 

Got to wait until it comes out before I think of buying it, if I dont like the look of it in the flesh then I wont be buying, theres a few things I dont like the look of on the MY06 and thats the rear spoiler that sits above the rear window, the grille and the rear lights I aint to keen on, just hope they look a bit better when modded.

If it's confirmed to be a 2.5 I'll be ordering .....

 

The MY06 Jap spec STI got a fantastic write up in Car Magazine this month. They reckon its the best handling Scoob ever - which is quite a claim. Going to be worth a look that's for sure.

 

Interesting, given that it's mechanically the same as the '05 - unless there's some change I'm not aware of. Anyone?

 

I'm waiting for Litchield imports to finish developing the MY06 Type 25. Judging by how good their 2004 Type 25 was, the MY06 which will be getting the 2.5 engine should be one hell of a car.

 

Things I saw quoted were 'dynamic improvements brought about by changes to the AWD chassis', revised 41/59 front/rear torque split, revised DCCD with steering angle sensor, 'extra mechanical ltd slip dif to improve traction & stability' and improved aerodynamics. Power is ltd to 276bhp with 311 lb ft torque. This is the Jap-spec model though, so I've no idea how much of this will reach the UK version.

 

Since there is no upper limit on the power output for a car in Europe, logically we can look forward to an even more powerful version that is not limited

LOL Chance would be a fine thing

Hint hint, any of you Subaru Jap people out there lurking

 

Surely its got to be around 320/330bhp as standard with a PPP being 350/360bhp level to compete with the Current EVO Range??


Cheers,
Grant

 

I think they're confused. Compared to the '04 model, the '05 has chassis changes (longer wheelbase, Spec C geometry), 60/40 torque split (changed from 50/50), revised DCCD with a yaw rate sensor, and a different LSD.

Unless they've changed all those things again, I think the reviewer is writing about the changes from '04 and earlier, not realising that the '05 car already incorporates them.

I believe the only changes from '05 to '06 are aerodynamics and a little extra power.
