Have you checked the connector for the fuel pump under the back seat? Apparently this can sometimes cause problems.

i had the same problem with mine m8 sti v2 and thats what it turned out to be a corroded spade in the connecting block under the rear seat. I found it by getting somebody to wiggle the connector as i turned the car over and hey presto it started.

Is there not a fuel pump relay(fuse) up behind the dashboard?
I was going to change it when I had probs with mine not starting, but luckily it was just my actual fuel pump that was faulty.
