Default JDM STi's
Dont see many JDM blobeye/bugeye STi's floating about in the market, specially in white. Im assuming these are sort after models that people are holding onto?

White is a pretty rare colour for the bug and blobs iirc.

I really would not mind a white JDM blob, but so hard to find. Would importing be a good idea?

White was a factory only colour so its pretty rare with the exception of the bug/blob Spec C's which were white as standard
Note that there is a fair bit of difference between the bug and blob JDM STI's mechanically, though the S202 (316bhp) looks nice apart from the stupid spoiler

Blob eye JDM cars are all twin scroll with the grooved/nitrated crank which gives better oil flow to the bearings, better power delivery and these come (in the majority of cases) with A-DCCD and quick rack steering as standard making the car far more stable and better handling.
The engines are 80% different to those of the previous model and come with equal length headers (its lost the burble but gained a growl )

perhaps come to a deal for just one set of wheels and leave out the spare suspension.

That's a spec c, less goodies than the normal sti but lighter and has a few extras over the standard sti, will be noisier as no soundproofing and lighter.
Is this definately the car your after? They can be pretty tiring for a daily driver to most people.

Loving my JDM STI MY05 widetrack blobeye in Obsidian Black Pearl paint, it looks stunning in the sunlight. You don't need a Spec C version to go quickly, the normal STI has some serious pickup thanks to the twin scroll AVCS engine setup. Fastest standard car in the scoobysprint series this year, beating a lot of modified cars.

The STi9 cranks are cross drilled and nitrided Tony, if they were grooved/nitrated I'd be very worried.
