Who's got a JDM STi 03/04 twin scroll model?
 
Just as a matter of interest.....

Who's got a JDM STi twin scroll model, trying to gauge how many/popular they are with enthusiasts.

Did you try a UK STi first? I did and after going in Bob Rawles I had to have the JDM version.

From memory

Mind you, Bob Rawles' has been tuned by Bob Rawles! Not all of them will be that good unless he has his wicked way with them :D

Who is Bob Rawle ?

Is he an independant dealer/ tuner ?

Does he have a web site ?

currymonster 30 April 2004 03:18 PM

He's an independant and very highly respected tuner of imprezas, Evos and others. His speciality is remapping ECUs, but he is very knowledgeable about all things mechanical and is always friendly and helpful.

His website : http://www.brdevelopments.com/

Cheers, Cal

There should also be MikeSWRT (or is that the other way round :confused: ) who also has an MY03 Spec C :D

JDM STI '03

I did try the Type UK PPP and was going to buy one until I tried the JDM version. The JDM lacks the throbby exhaust note, but makes up for it in other ways (DCCD-A, quick steering rack, better power delivery, no significant understeer, spiffy instruments, RE070s, rear wash/wipe and better tuning potential, I gather). All IMO, of course.

Good as standard.
Much better following the application of Mr Rawles' mapping skills, and pretty civilised
Currently awaiting remap after Janspeed 3" & induction kit (light right foot necessary at present!). No longer civilised, but I can't wait for the benefits!

I need one to preserve my licence when it's raining ;) :p

BlueBoy 30 April 2004 07:15 PM

Yes one more to add to the list ;)

I drove a few STi8's before getting my beloved SpecC and there's just no comparisson between them - apart from the decor ;):D
