My04 sti info, please??
I am currently looking at getting an sti but just require some spec info on them please, i.e what to look for, what is the difference from the uk spec and a jap import?
Was there any interior variations in these models ect. thanks for any help. |
"search" is your friend
|
Tried that but i cant seem to find any info.
|
I dunno if there are any differences between the My03 and My04, but I have an 03 JDM Sti, and its tremendous. Cannot fault it.
|
i think these are the main differents between them
jdm spec Revised Engine internals Equal Length exhaust Manifold Twin Scroll Turbo Revised ECU Different inlet Cam Revised exhaust HID Drivers headlights Automatic intercooler water spray button Sports ABS Front mounted water spray bottle Red backlit dials Additional card holder Tyre width up from UK’s 225/45 17” to 235/45 17” Improved Steering speed and feel Rear windscreen wiper The Japanese STI and Spec C also features Front Revised centre diff control unit with additional sensors New larger intercooler design |
so all in all an import would be the better option to go for as it seems to come better equiped?

JDM differs over the uk in several departments, mainly mechanical.
Engine. Hypereuetic pistons, stronger than the forged ones you get in the UK cars Twin scroll turbo (better power delivery) Equal length manifold Basically there is like 80% difference in the engines between the UK and JDM cars. A-DCCD (auto drivers controlled differential, not available as standard on the UK cars until 2005) Rear wiper Higher rev range Slightly lighter More powerful Tyres are still 225/45/17, though the JDM has RE070's v the UK's 040's (the 2005 model changed PCD from 100 to 114 and tyres on the JDM's were 235 v 225). Go out and test drive both of them, the JDM is a far nicer car, easier to drive, shorter 5th and 6th ratio's and 350-360bhp is easily gained with an exhaust and remap. Tony:) |
cheers for the help guys, all i need to do now is find some to test drive.

The jap import will cost you more to insure though. But i think the other benefits outway that.

Are sceond hand Newage JDM Sti's difficult to come by at UK Garages ( ie rather than a private sale ) ? Don't see many 3 year old cars advertised.
And what's the bhp on the std JDM Sti ? |

You wont find many, if any at the dealers. I was interested in one when lOOking, but they are quite rare, or were then.
Closer to 300 than 280. cheers mate.:thumb: |

Gaz, when you say you won't find them at the dealers, do you mean "Subaru Dealers", or just any Car Dealers ?

You'll need a specialist mate. Why? You thinking of changing, rather than upgrading?

Check the insurance out first if your going for an import a lot of companys wont insure or command a higher premium and any mods will be a issue too
