Default help on deciding my next motor please

Right,

I'm thinking of changing my uk300 for a new shape STI - i have seen both a UK STI 8 and a JDM STI 9 el - which if either car should i go for or is there a better one to go for?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

buy a used jdm sti 9 that someone over here imported new, some good deals around and you get the twin scroll blower and dccd-a. better spec than the wr1.

because most people modify them and blow the pricious subaru uk warranty anyway so you might as well go for a better spec car. and the money you will save can be put towards a aftermakrket warranty and the rest for keeping it on the road if need be.
