Question Does the WR1 have the quick steering rack?

I've heard conflicting rumours about this. Does anyone know for sure whether the WR1 is coming with the quick steering rack ???

Thanks

I spoke to a guy at Crossroads Garage on Saturday and said I was thinking of getting one but was waiting until the spec was bit more firm.

He said the spec was firm and known and had been since Autosport show. I asked specifically about a quick rack and he said it definetly had the quick rack.

Haven't got it in writing and don't know the guys name but he seemed to know waht he was talking about and claimed to be working with Prodrive on this and that so I'm fairly confident.

Excellent, this all sounds much more promising. Last time I asked about this it was more a case of a friend of a friend told a friend...

Thanks

Yeah, still a bit of conjecture about this. The European cars seem to have it, which tends to imply that the UK one will too, but all the same I'd like to see something in writing before taking it as gospel.

Which is this 'European car' which has been referenced a few times now? I had a look at the French and German Subaru sites over the weeked but only found the 'ordinary' Euro-STI listed. Is there another car?

Yeah. The other car is the same basic spec as the WR1, but without the PPP and other Prodrive/UK specific bits. Depending on what market you look in, they're either called the STi Special Edition or the Solberg Edition. Think you can import them in RHD form from Litchfields.

You could then get a TeK and do the springs and wheels for a car that costs less than a WR1, but you don't get the UK warranty and residuals...
