Yeah apparently the STI engine refresh isn't due till 2020 to go the FA platform. 
The problem with the normal WRX was the sound of the FA engine [emoji14] 
The STI ol' EJ sounds beast still for a 4 banger, my first 4 banger :O 


Unequal length headers will do that.

Pretty much yeah, I'll be doing the usual intake/exhaust/tune eventually but that'll be it for me. I think 200awkw-ish?

Aka I better not come up against a silver R33 skyline at the lights, I'll be farked!! :P

Bolt ons are great for a daily. Wish I could bolt-on the hilux. Get some 6 stud rays wheels.

 

So new WRX and STI are different things? I'm pretty out of touch with new cars...

 

In other news, mate of mine at Tokyo Auto Salon... Some cool stuff there.

Yeah so WRX has the new FA20 (GT86) engine with a turbo on it (sounds like crap, but good econemy)

WRX STI still has EJ257 2.5l boxer same as the last few years (sounds good, proven, heaps of parts)

Then you got all the other usual stuff that makes the STI cooler and 10k more I guess too.

Dunno

It'll manage fine on flat ground with 100kg, as our overweight sales reps can attest to

One way to find out I guess.

Cos I’m being transferred to another store with trains in front of the store, and I’m not keen on driving to nearest train station and park it.

And I’ve got 4 weeks to decide.

Keeping a stock look doing rims too?

blue, it's my first actual coloured car. no plans for any cosmetics or suspension, after 6-12 months will do intake/exhaust/tune to wake it up a bit and for some sound that'll be it :)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
