Handicap needs auto for STi...HELP!
My brother is handicapped and wants to get an STi. Obviously he can not drive with a manuel tranny, but is there an aftermarket auto tranny that he can put in the car.
please offer any advice you have thanks,

I would suggest not buying an STI.
If your brother is in need of an auto, he should just buy an auto WRX.
Personaly I would buy an older GC8 style automatic which might only be around $3000, depending on year (they look the best too).
He could then spend the other $20,000+ on a STI engine and Rigoli racing auto tranny.

My brother is loaded(he should buy me an STI
) and is the type of guy who can not stand to have less than the best(relatively speaking of course) he wants the most speed he can get for under 40,000.
His current car list consits of--
ford lightning-- full exhaust,chipped,intake,pully,lowered,wheels, throttle body etc...(F)(N)FAST
caddy escalade-- laid on bags with 20" wheels(soon 22"), touch screen tv... ya, pimp daddy.
and to top it all off he has a super air nautigue with every extra you could emagine(i miss wakeboarding in the winter...water like glass

it is possible and i know who to speak to in Subaru of Japan.
check this STi spec-C out.
this car prepared by Subaru was designed for people who has disabilities in their legs. The car is controllable with hands.
more pics are in i-club gallery on top of this page. Go to Tokyo Auto Slaon 2003.
If your bro is serious about buying STi with such a modification, PM me and I can talk to Subaru of Japan for you and introduce you and your bro to them.
They might be able to give you some advice.

another thing...
If your brother just needs automatic, then clutchless manual system might be an option. Still have to shift, but no need to use clutch.
5zigen makes it, and there is a kit for STi and bolts on.
