Question

Does anyone know if there are any cams available for STI ? I have tried looking at the Piper and Kent cams web sites but they don't seem to do cams for the scooby .
Cheers Dave

You'd probably be better going to someone like Autosportif or one of the other motorsport preparation places and ask them. I have seen cams advertised for "Impreza Turbos" but I don't remember where it was, sorry.

You're best of with one of the Jap tuners, rather than piper or kent I would've thought.........

If it's a late sti, can state 100% the cams are the same as UK.....

Dave,
Piper do manufacture some alternative cam profiles for the Impreza. Try contacting them direct or through Demon Tweeks who should be able to help

Dave (***** Wonka)

Give us a phone!! We have just had some cams machined for our new engine. I should know how good they are in a couple of weeks.
