Why is there so many 2.5ltr STIs for sale with a couple of thousand miles on the clock (are they crap or something)

probably because they use too much fuel

PCM

I have a few MY06 hawkeyes coming from japan and all the buyers have just got rid of there uk/euro imports.

Most of them change due to the spec difference others have friends with jdm's and once they see and feel the difference they want to get rid.

And as bighead said they drink a lot of fuel.

What a load of old tosh, There is no difference in fuel consumption between the 2.5 and 2.0 liter. I have a 2.5 and do mostly town driving and get around 18-19 mpg which is about the average for a 2.0 liter. Anyone with a 2.0 liter like to comment on their fuel consumption.

I think he was referring to scoobs in general whether they are 2.0/2.5 ltr they are gonna guzzle the fuel.

Man I'd like to see how your fuel tanker handles 200 litre tank

Anyway, 200 miles per tank is a damn sight more than mine manages.

Probs cos he is a good impoter with some very good contacts in Japan . I would say that cos my MY04 JDM WRX STI V-Limited is on the next ship over here . The wait is killing me though.

cheeky sod,im just sympathetic with my clutch and gearbox (and always forget to empty the boot)

scooby-tc

iTrader: (2)

He sounds like a top importer,hopefully he has one of his contacts sourcing me a nice white spec c so that will hopefully be on a boat destined for these shores soon

Hepy

That sounds about right. I used to get 29 mpg from my P1

230 miles from 50 litre tank = 21mpg.

It's JDM so 2 litre engine

TX.

[edit - PCM sourced my car. Top bloke & top importer!]

MrRA

No but I know he won't loan out the model report for 06 cars, so, how are managing to get them through SVA without the appropriate model report?

PCM

Ho do you know he won't loan out the model report?

And what makes you think i don't use the appropriate model report?

And why does it concern you so much?

Do you work for ian litchfield?

PCM

MrRA

As I have said already, no I don't work for him.

I know he won't loan it out because I know of someone who asked for a loan of it, so was curious as to how you are managing to bring cars into the country if you don't have the correct model report.

So the uk spec 2.5ltr drinks more fuel then the uk 2ltr, Is that the only difference?

Is there any differences apart from the wheels & the spoiler between the STI & the spec D? dealer trying to get me to buy one of the Ds but I want the STI.

PCM,
Is the 06 JDM hawkeyes 2ltr or are they 2.5ltr, what kind of price are you selling them for?
PM me if you don’t want to say on the forum.

Thanks

MrRA

All JDM cars are 2 litre.

Bagpipes - I think the Spec D also has a very nice black leather interior instead of the blue and also has front fog lights.

rasheedn

this is what i cant understand

does this mean the 2.0 is better than the 2.5???

why wont they use it???


the only differnce i know is the 2.0 revs higher

PCM

What makes you think i don't have the correct model report?
