I was at a Subaru sponsored STi day at Knockhill today and took the opportunity to find out about this since I am waiting for my non-Prodrive version. Apparently once the cars are ready, they are transported by boat (along with other Nissan, Toyotas, etc) and dock at Newcastle. They are then transported by road to IM base (can't remember the place) before having the UK version mods done (Trackstar, Cat 1 Alarm, underseal, badges, etc). The time between manufacture and shipping is at least one month. Thereafter from arrival at the dock to the dealer is around 2-3 weeks.

In conclusion they are approximately predicting June or early July.

Thanks guys....

I have been told June/early July.... so I guess in reality most of us are all waiting on the same ship (well for standard Sti 7)... and no doubt people being told May are being told so a little hopefully...

I suppose that some will get theirs slightly before others depending on how many they can mod to 'uk spec' a day.

Lets pray the ship has safe passage or we might be looking at September!!!

I ordered mine in March and was told late May/early June.

I want it now !!!!!!!!!!

Nuther question..... If they fit the Tracker Monitor and Sigma at the same place, surely that means that they are located in the same place on every car..... call me paranoid but surely that helps the more 'dodgy' geezer who may want a STi

I would of thought that all cars with 'factory fitted' alarms have them in the same place.

I thought they fitted Trackstar Protector? If that is the case then it's fitted in one of 47 differing places in the car. The fitters are trained by RAC so you get the same fit quality with them as you do with any other of the RAC fitters.

Ordered mine on 14 March, it's coming at the end of April. The dealer ordered some in hoping that he would be able to sell them, and of course he did!
