STi Spec C [56k Users avoid]

Man, this car is nice. The sideskirts seem smaller then the USDM WRX though- I think that some WRX sideskirts would match that front lip kit / bumper better. Dunno about the rear bumper matching the sideskirts though, wrxes' always had a problem with the rear bumper being pretty high off the ground. Maybe it's to show off that differential?

I hope these pictures aren't too big .. But you wouldn't be able to read them if they are too small.

The Spec C's diff can do 100% full rear power?

Yeah, apparently you can. That is truly awesome; if this is true, surely there are beefed up components like the differential and driveshafts/axles? I've read many articles about subaru owners who wanted to convert to RWD, only to come across the risk to blow up your rear differential or snap axles. If possible, a retrofit of the DCCD system in the Spec-C into the USDM STi's would be pure bliss.. now, only to find out if the driveline components are the same between the two..

Spec C is still a 2.0 Liter engine right?

Heh, I just checked www.evo.co.uk (I guessed) and they want $132 for a 12-issue overseas subscription. Bummer.

Thanks for sharing the article, BTW.

ah, no problem about the article. Hope it stays up long enough to be useful.

Bao: I'm not too sure.. If only the US is supposed to have the new EJ25T, then i'm assuming the JDM and Euro STI versions still have the EJ20T. Beats me

yeah.. cause no A/C..right? hehe... and if it's like the old MY Spec-C... minimal sound proofing and lighter than every other Impreza out this model year.
