After listening to peoples comments regarding Jap STIs the concensus is generally "steer clear". With that said can anybody give me names of places that will do brand new ones - UK STI-7 that is.

Thank you all for your help.

Litchfield imports have a very good reputation.
http://www.litimports.co.uk/ although other places have their fans and satisfied customers.

Good site. Are there any others you know of at all?? Also with regard to insurance....Will a Euro UK Spec STI-7 cost me the same to insure as an official UK STI-7?? What must be done to get the UK STI-7 upto Jap STI-7 power??

I beleive Litchfields have a power upgrade available.

There was a Euroe STi for sale, that I beleive is from Litchfields with the power pack (correct me if I'm wrong) - have a look in the For Sale section a few pages back. I *think* its about 320bhp, although I don't know for sure.

My memory is not so good in the morning.....

Cheers

Richard

Westy make sure the cars come with a Pan European warranty, otherwise you wont be able to get the car services by a UK dealer.

Also it probably wont have a tracker or a Cat1 alarm.

I though Motorpoint got there cars from Cyprus which is not in the EU.

Thumbs up

Glad you listening and took the advise you woudl be surprised how many people come on here and ask for advice and then go mad when they dont get what they want to hear. When I posted last night I didnt want to sound negative about the import you found but being around scoobs for 4 years and on my second (this time jap import which I think is brilliant BTW) I just posted what I would have done and that would be to go for a new Euro STI.


Hope you enjoy scoob ownership
