Default 1997 WRX STI Type R

New around here so i thought i'd put a few picture that where taken last night.

Pretty much standard until this Friday when the new fmic and downpipe gets fitted. Then a Unichip and boost controller fitted the Friday after. Hope yo all like.

Phil you are totally right. It's a V4 and a face life from bumper, bonnet and lights.

Boobiman the wheels are Advan RCII's. Different but i like them.

MY97 is STI 3, MY98 is STI 4. Difference is the interior and the turbo (vf23/24).
I'm so sad!

yup. Slightly slower spool with a stronger top end. Did prefer the responsiveness of the vf24 in my old sti4 though.
