Thanks pwebb!!
It too bad that they dont offer an STI on a LHD version.And the new US specs. just did not meet the Peformance and HP level I excepted.It even dont comes with a 4 piston brake.I belive it will cost alot to make it up to match The peformance's level of a stock EVO 6 RS.
I understand Prodrive did supply LHD WRX type R?
Thanks

sorry to disappoint but neither new shape or old shape STI were/will be available in LHD.

nearest you could get would be Cilti Sport in france who take a Euro Spec Impreza GT Turbo and replace the engine with a jap spec sti unit - they also change the interior and add flared wheel arches etc - they call it the MC 10 - rated at 310 PS - it costs about 90,000 FFR for the conversion and shipping to the philippines would be very expensive.

Only other choice would be the Mitsubishi EVO 6 in LHD - available in France and Germany - sorry

Prodrive do supply LHD cars, but all have been converted to LHD, and all are Rally cars.

Just for information. The new STI will be presented in Germany in autumn. I guess if there is enough demand they'll import it and so it will be LHD.

One of our dealers here in Moscow, Russia was selling LHD STI ver.V They've sold around 7-10 of them. They said they got the LHD conversion kit from Prodrive. The only thing that tells you that the car was RHD before is the antenna on the right side and 3-way adjustable passenger seat
