What are the differences?
I have been looking at an 03 plate WRX STi uk spec for 12k but i noticed that the dials seem to be different on the same car but an 05 plate,
What are the differences between these cars? i assume the 05 plate is like a facelift of that model. Any help would be great as it will help me decide which type to go for |
05 models have a significantly revised and improved chassis. Main feature is longer/wider (?) wheelbase and adjustable centre diff. Think it has helical LSdiff/s aswell, meant to be an improvement but I've no idea what it is!!
Also has different dials and steering wheel boss:thumb: Might be other things also. HTH dnc |
Cheers for that
Doesnt sound like its worth 4k more to me unless there are other differences |
For MY05 they changed the wheels (better looking & bigger footprint), made the hubs bigger to cope with it, added DCCD, changed the seat fabric to give more grip, new centre console & dials, revised suspension & geometry, wider rear track via arch add-ons. Probably other things too but can't remember.
One thing to note is ppp. If it was done pre 2005 then it will be a different map. Prodrive made some changes in 05 to improve it (I wouldn't buy my 2005 car until assured that the map was improved). My car is for sale & you would only need £16k if I left all the goodies on it!!! |
