STI Unveiled.
 

Here's your car, BOO:

2.5L H4 Turbo, 300 HP
front and rear LSD, Driver controlled Center Diff.

Well, just go check out NASIOC. There are about 87 threads :D

300lbs of torque @ 4,000 rpm.......

goddam.....how much they gonna be....

35k?

Street is saying $32K....but I think $35K is about right with limited release dealer mark-up.

Forget everything I said about building a WRX......2.5 semi-closed-deck turbo with forged alum pistons etc, and especially with DCCD: this is a whole new ballgame, man.

Goodness Graceous Great BALLS of FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!! .. LOL... I showed my wife the msn's release info and coverage and she says .. and I quote" 6-SPEED, 2.5, 300HP ? That's the one !!!!!!!!! "

Good luck getting one. Like I said, Lithia is only going to receive 5 of them into their inventory. The General Manager and his friend already claimed 2. The other 3 will be gone the day they hit the pavment.

Fuck that.... the dealer shouldn't be allowed to stiff the public like that.

BTW: one '02 WRX for sale... need... S.. T.. i!

I need to go win some money......

Anyone wanna take over payments on my kids? :lol:

What kinda horsepower they got? Are either of 'em forced induction? Maybe the smaller one could TrunkMonkey around in the backseat?

hehe... (kidding of course)

HEY DUDES !!!
I just discovered (Ok, I am a little late..lol) that the new WRX is going to feature an All-Weather Package featuring dual stage Heated Front Seats !! ( I havent seen/had this since my BMW), Windshield Wiper De-Icer...AND , YES AND a MoonRoof !!!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe that ...
Drooling in Reno,

Ps: in regards to your kids "IMPREZTON" I might take them because My daughter has been bugging me for a sister or a brother since she is an only child (Yes Spoiled too !!!) ...lol

Hey Dudes !!! and ( Dudettes ) :) ... Does any one know if "The Fast and The Furious II" Will Feature Either the new WRX or the STi ???? That will be cool to see... 8)

Not sure....but hopefully it will be better and more thought out then the first.

SOLD!!!!!!

Hey BOO, while you're buying stuff, wanna '02 WRX? I'll sell you mine, good deal, only $32k!

Is it wrong that I'm having dreams about the STi?

Oh damn I forgot to tell you that the mortgage on the kids is $950. Is that a problem?

WOW !!!! Thats a bargain.. let me go to my bank and get a certified check ok...
Ps: that's including The rights to the Children right IMPREZTON ??? ;)

Consider the $32K to be the DOWN payment and the $950 to be the MONTHLY payment. Good news, though. Will just turned 12 yesterday. You'll have them both paid off 6 years from now!

:lol: .... um ok maybe i need to go back to square one.. looking at an STi

Ps: Happy birthday WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have some bad news for you, man. I've got 2 daughters, 21 & 18. When they start going to college and what not, they get MORE expensive, not less. I thought they'd be "paid off" at 18 too, but I was wrong :shock: .

Enjoy them while they're still cheap and think of you as "Dad", not "wallet with legs"! :lol:

I went to Lithis the other day to talk to the service dept. about some noises in my car (front right wheel), and ended up talking to a salesman about the Sti. He said that the US is only getting 500 Sti's the first year. He said they would be lucky to see 5 here in Reno.

And like I mentioned before, 2 have been claimed by the owner and the gm or something. Do any of you know if this is true? Is there only that many coming over? If so, a lot of people are going to be dissapointed.

There's a ton of speculation about the number of these cars coming over. Check out the STi Info forum on NASIOC: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/foru...amp;forumid=83

So far the best info we have from SOA is 5000 units a year... not 500. Chances are tho, if the car keep selling, they'll keep making them, like they did w/ the WRX... The STi is *not* a limited edition car... the STi Spec-C and Type-RA models are the limited ones (which we're not getting at all in the US).

Also, the dealers still know next to nothing about the STi... they're speculating just like us, but being dealers, they like to act like they know what they're talking about.

For example: when I bought my car, the dealer told me the WRX's A/C was totally electric so "it doesn't sap power from the motor".

I was like, "really, so where's the power come from?"

"The alternator"...

"sure... but where's the alternator get power from?"

"uh... oh."

'Course the whole thing was a moot point, since the A/C compressor is powerd by a *belt* from the motor. See, dealers are usually the last place to get "good" info from.

Ah. I thought they might actually have some knowledge. Now I am wondering if I should even let them look into my car. Recently, whenever I go over a bump or turn right, there is a knock in my right front tire. It has progressed to something faily loud and often now.

Maybe I should scedule a appointment with the one in Carson instead of Lithia. Hhmmmm.

I've had *much* better luck in Carson as far as service goes.

Think the sound might have something to do with the bumper incident? We can get under the car and take a look at it when we do the gauge install... but you might want to have it looked at sooner than that.

Well, I had it looked under by the body shop guy that fixed my bumper, and said he didn't notice anything. another guy there said that when the bumper was installed, that someone may have not tightened something down or left something loose. Either way, its very loud and noticable until about 30 mph.

If it is because of the tree incident, then it wouldn't be covered under warrenty I assume? Either way, I need to find out soon what it is.

Well, if it's a lose part due to the repair, then the repair guys should fix it for free. If it's tree damage, it's somthing that went unnoticed by the repair guys, and they were supposed to fix *all* the damage right? In which case it's also their issue (but may not be free to get fixed).

You know, you might wanna bring it back to the guys that fixed the bumper!
