So who's noticed the arrival of a new STI version? 
http://210.254.95.20/showroom/imp_sti_ra/
The aim was to inject extra handling/performance, so there is more torque and less weight. A swath of suspension mods (including geometry changes = lots more caster among other things), new tyres (RE070s - only just road legal here), and just about nothing else - this a competition car and won't win any awards for the spec!
Some of the highlights:
no undercoat, small washer fluid tank, no front tower bar, lightweight glass, no airbags, no passenger side sunvisor or centre visor, no remote boot opener, no shaft tunnel insulation or boot trim/lining, small fuel tank (50l), lightweight roof & boot lid.
Oh - the go faster bits
- Ball bearing turbo, special exhaust and muffler, cams, ECU, tranny oil cooler, 13:1 steering rack, the tyres mentioned above ride on a new BBS wheel, even the fuel pump is tweaked. Oh, and then there is the 12l water tank in the boot for the IC spray. 
Naturally losing 90kg means a better p/w ratio, too
I don't know if it is even raod legal anywhere in the world but here...
While you are there, check out the revised wing (actually the cuurent one on a new base it seems.
Enjoy!

Hmm
Looks interesting. I particularly liked the picture of the car with steel
wheels to reduce weight - it reminds me of the Peugeot "Rallye" editions of the 205 etc.
The "new spoiler" you mention looks suspiciously like the standard wing with the Zero Sports / UPAuto lifters.

Duncan,
I agree m8, but it does have that bit between the *posts*
I feel Subaru is gonna get active about the fortunes of the Imprezza - and hopefully some of the tweaks on Spec C will make it to the STI sooner or later. I think the addition of more caster shows that the Whiteline ALK works too...

Sorry chaps (and ladies if you are watching ), missed the link to the WRX NR-B.
Note the new-ish wing...(thanks Duncan )
The car looks like a similar spec to the UK in the interior, brake and wheel department (but 250ps for Japan of course). The struts are 3 times as rigid as the std JDM-WRX fare, which is nice.
Cheers
