ive owned a uk classic and now a jdm sti type r,there is no comparison which is the better car.
the sti feels much better in every way,my uk classic was running 315/320,my sti type r is standard and it feels as quick if not quicker,the sti is a much more exciting drive. i wouldnt ever buy another uk car......although it is still a great car and pretty quick,and was also reliable,i soon got bored. its individual opinions,i just think the gearing etc is much better. |

But 6 speeds dont break so the bill is £00.00

Tony:) newage wrx will and can take 400 as with both they can break at standard power. friend of mine been running 5 speed andy 20g for bout 60k no issues car at 100k now. api told him when first done the mods there taking upto 400 well and just wait till it breaks 60k later still going strong never had gear oil changed either used and abused |

a 340 bhp type r would be a very quick motor indeed! a newage car will need alot more bhp to match the classic type r.

yes the 6 speed do handle 400 plus very well.

Tony:) |
I was speaking to Mike Latimar on Sunday, he uses Forester 6 speed ratios in his monster due to the longer gearing.....
As for the WRX Vs sti debate, i decided to sell my UK bug a few years ago after having a drive in a mates Blob STI.....in standard form there is no competition.. |

Tony:D i not saying that 6 speeds are s..t just they do have there faults and as you up the power you spend more time up and down the box. 5 speed just hold the gear out,why do top fuel dragsters use 3 speed etc why your changing gear your going nowhere |

(and im not talking the cosworth, its not a production car) work that one out ;) Tony:D |

Tony:) early 6 speeds ratio between 4/5/6 is horrible ,more you up the power more you notice. example long bend wrx 5 speed hold 3rd 6 speed you will make 2 gear changes on the way round |
