By god 4th in STi7's is fun, boring as day at work relieved when I got stuck behind some traffic (40mph in NSL), road opens up indicate, pull out, plant foot and *whack* I'm gone! passed them, pulled back in and slowed down after realising quite what a speed I'd reached so quickly Damn it was fun though

Used to be 3rd in my MY00 for that sorta thing, but nowhere near the kick in the pants of the STi7

Completely pointless post, but stuck a grin across my face that took a while to wipe off, which is what it's all about

Thats because 4th in the STI is pretty similar ratio to the old 3rd. The 5th gear is almost identical to the old 4th

Andrew,
Here out in the sticks in my UKSTi7 4th & 5th are trully fun was a little easier 3rd & 4th in my MY99(don't want to hit 3rd insted of fifth ) can wait for PPP
By the way 6th isn't a ticket it's a prison sentence

Yesterday evening I tried my STi7 down some quiet country roads for the first time since I raised the rev limit to 6000 rpm. Wow! the acceleration in 4th is amazing, and as for 3rd, well that is SENSATIONAL. It is definately much faster than my old lightly modded MY99 Turbo. God knows what it will be like with PPP.

Lemmy,
Just hold onto your hat PPP is the answer to you dreams with warrentyD it's the UK route
UK = JDM + £4000 + PPP(£2000) so £6000 more but you buy UK because of warrenty no warrenty why buy UK
I honestly hope to stay a UK owner with PPP I have had excellent service and piece of mind with Subaru assistance in the past. but at the moment, after the Donny affair begining to wonder
