Our new demo car has arrived the New STI!
After using our beloved 22b as a development car for the past 12 years the time has come for us to put our experience to use on the brand new WRX STI
The car will be on site at Scoobyclinic tomorrow from 9:30 please feel free to pop in and have a look
I hope you'll agree that Subaru have got it right in the looks department and with the help of one of our power plants it should go rather well too!

Can you give us any info on your plans with regards to engine mods etc. And will you be taking the engine to bits to have a good look around to help understand if and where the changes are?

The big question is, will widening the track (as lets face it it looks like it has a huge body sat on top of some go cart chassis) will destroy all that research and development Subaru put in to make it as good as handling as it can get (within the typical governmental parimeters for safety regs etc...

I'm sure SC will make a great car out of this, but I was dead set on buying one of these when I heard about the release, until I saw a picture of it. It just looks wrong.

Top mount is fine for the standard power of the car & on top of the engine it's less likely to be damaged. However above standard power it's not adequate & will need a FMIC.

Like I said, at the power the car comes out of the factory with the top mount is perfectly adequate. However the more you go over standard power the more your standard top mount becomes a compromise. Subaru didn't build the car just for us to modify & tune so the top mount makes sense. Not saying your top mount doesn't do the job but many people find the top mount holds higher powered cars back due heat soak poor air flow & general inefficiency.
