[Hey psychics do it all the time - if I get 1 right 6 months from now I'm a genuis]

weight shaved 50-70 pounds- from where?
psi raised slightly- already pretty high at 14.5
235/45-maybe
radio option-already is an option
optional 5 speed- why have 5 when you have 6
white discontinued- one of the best looking colors for the sti
red color option- maybe, but how many red cars do you see on the road
less pink!!- traditional sti color, takes a real man to drive!

Yeah too bad no one else gets it. I get so much crap from people asking y I put pink stickers and badges on my car. I'm so tired of having to explain to them its the STi's signature color and that it actually cherry blossom red and not actually pink.

If you're tired of explaining it and they're people you don't really care about.......then don't explain it.

Some guy asked if it was a girl's car cuz he didn't know it was mine, and then he asked why the badge is pink. I said "its just like that" if the question wasn't just in passing and they really wanted to know they would try to research it themselves, there are plenty of sites out ther ethat talk about the colors and the origin of the six stars.

As for the white, its already a very sought-after color, if anything Subaru might bump up production on white versions to meet the demand, although i don't think too many people passed on their STi just because it wasn't white........or am i the only one that didn't?

I would think any modifications to the car would be minor updates.

Different colors offered.
Sunroof?
Strut braces
Optional wheel/tire combos (a wet weather/snow tire would be a good option)

If we're lucky, +30hp w/better turbo and ECU.

hehe, sti floor mats actually with the car.

Options I wish were offered:

Roll bars
Adj, ride heigh, shocks.
Wing delete
CF hood
CF trunk
Dual rear exhaust (yes I know it doesn't help, but I like the look better)
Steering adjusted to 13turn

I guess that's what the aftermarket is for...

Extreme thinking... Or just sillyness!

3.0L engine, turbo added.
TTops, the door windows are frameless...
Convertible.
A Forester version (like in Japan).
A Saab version (they are already doing it, Impreza based Saab).
Add bright Yellow and bright Red.
4 inch higher rear wing (out of rearview mirror site).
1 inch higher hood scoop (for the hell of it, and it must SHAKE MORE).
Tint on top of the windshield (rocket science).
Black carpet option (plus a part number for mats...)
Don't like STi pink Emblems, how bout optional PINK wheels (not).

I want it in a convertible.:D

why stop at pink wheels lets have the entire car in cherry blossom. :D

Oh and it definetly needs a bigger wing and hood scoop because this year's just weren't big enough.:D

:eek: Jeebus, if you make the wing any bigger the car will take off at high speeds. A pink car...don't know about that.

:D A flying Subaru that would be awesome!!!:D

[SIZE=1]note to self: get extraordinarily large wing.[/SIZE]

Next Redesign 2006 or 2007 according to thsi weeks AutoWeek.

Maybe a H6 Turbo

Now an H6 Turbo would kick arse. STI H6T Legacy Wagon.

How about an H8? I can just imagine a naturally aspirated 400hp H8 :D

My 05 predictions are for adjustable flex (from modest to severe) in the hood and wing, adjustable pinging (choose the gear u want to have it in, or a combination of few)...
on the serious note - 05 probably won't have any changes.

According to my Subaru sources, there will NOT be a 2005 Sti imprezza imported in this country...
This information was revealed at a subaru meeting last week to a friend of mine that is the parts manager at a local dealership...
They only so often will make a special car to boost their image .
There is STI everywhere for sale right now and i trust my reliable source.
I will recommend that you do not wait for 2005 to buy one because you will be sorry .

If anything, they'd fix the ping issue. MAYBE have a sunroof option. But everything else should be the same, maybe an automated/manual IC sprayer.

Sunroof, better rear wing....Rear PASS-THIR SEAT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!

Keep WHite!!!!
