Realised i havn't put up a thread.

Here's my 2007 STI Limited, 1 of 25 RHD car's so rare as hens teeth.














Current mod list,

Tein Flex Z coiovers
Perrin ARB
Perrin Drop Links
Perrin front Castor kit

Currently up at scoobyclinic having the engine closed deck'd and forged

 

Very nice with just the lip spoiler

 

Very nice ,
So what's the limited about on these ? Are they a Euro model ?

 

My fav part has to be the centre console and dash area a superb example indeed

 

world wide, 800 in the US, some EU, there was only 25 imported into the UK in RHD, all the rest were left hand drive.

Biggest differences,

Rearer lip spoiler (Same as A Line)
Black Brake calipers (Normal are Gold)
Black Centre console (Same as S204 etc)
Different engine (not sure on exact differences, the code is different though)
Different gearbox (Again different code but not sure whats actually different)

Then similarities with the Spec D,

Leather seats
Fog Lights
No roof spoiler

 

cheers chaps

 

Looking good Tidgy, did the original engine fail in the usual 2.5 manner?

 

no mate, nothing wrong with it. Was looking at selling up and going C63 but only got crap offers so decided to keep it and dont want the hassel of it going down the line.

ALso cheaper to do it now while its fine than waiting till it fails

 

Very tidy car you got there

 

Cheers

 

Cool I like the looks ,

 

thanks

 

is it the same crystal grey metallic paint as the spec D? cant work out from pics as it looks lighter

nice having something a bit different from the norm!

 

it's paint code 01g, not sure what a spec d's code is?

Cheers

 

ahh it is then - so my eyes weren't deceiving me! Spec D is 48w

 

aye, i'll try and get a pic parked next to a mates spec d and we can compare

 

Bit of an update.

Engine was pulled, stripped and found to have the early signs of head gasket failure, although was only visual signs of begging to fail, not actual failure. So dodged a bullet on that one, wasn't gonna be long before it would have gone. Other than valve guide wear was in pretty good nick. Got the car back and started doing the running in, but ended up going in to hospital for an operation so delayed things. Finally finished the running in so now waiting for a slot to get booked in for a few bits and then mapping.

To do list,

Geom (looks like i've hit a pot hole or sumit)
Oil cooler
3 port boost sol
remap

It also had a perrin inlet pipe fitted while it was apart, hoping for 330 ish as its got a full hayward and scott sports cat system

 

you not going for big power mate?

whats the exact spec of the engine now?

 

will do eventually chap, just lack of funding for now, list of supporting mods is pretty big haha

basic spec,

mahle pistons
manley rods
acl bearings
arp headstuds
closed deck conversion

 

sounding good buddy, 14mm head-studs aswell?

 

no point chap, I'm only going for low 500's.

 

ah ok buddy, looking forward to reading the updates.

you chose the turbo yet?

 

gonna be a while till i need to decide that, need to sort syvecs first, then front mount, clutch etc etc. last thing will prob be fuel system and turbo.

That said i expect it will be SC50/GT30 derivative aka the latest version from clinic haha

 

Lovely Spec D there buddy.



Just kidding, you know I love you. Really nice car, always love a special.

 

jealous barstool,,,,,,, hahaha

 

 

lol.........it is a gx with a wrx bodykit

 

same seats as in a spec D. As far as difference between the seats from an SL im not 100% sure, i think they are the same? sure someone will know better if not.

But it's an STI as a whole car, not a wrx

 

I'm almost certain Spec D and WRX SL had the same leather interior.

Did you get a 6 speed fitted too?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

nah, just stuck on the 6 speed sticker to the *** and the sti badges. hahahaha
