Another "official" 2008 New Sti Pictures Thread

[t5nyw]

As you all say OH NO not another 2008 sti Picture thread

OK lots of picture doing the rounds at the moment go sent these and they look genuine most Pics.

Although I have already seen most of them on NASIOC and other USA & Canadian sites

Here is some details of Stand trim for each country and what's Optional extra's. Although USA believe that their STi will have 18"'s as standard :Suspiciou

Japanese manuals copied off NASIOC

A quick upshot of Differences between JDM & UK/EU (R/Hand drive) below

JDM 2.0ltr better engine, higher Rev's (cheaper Tax) UK 2.5ltr

JDM 13:1 quick rack UK 15:1 Rack

JDM gets Equal lenth exhaust manifold UK Cast

JDM Bridgestone UK Dunlop

JDM Seats(cloth &Tricot) UK (leather alcantara)

Recardo's optional extras on both UK & JDM

JDM steer wheel audio controls optional UK Standard

USA gets folding mirrors everywhere else non-folding. USA, Japan and UK Heated mirrors is an optional extra

JDMs Headlamp washers and levellers are optional UK STD

rumours

1) USA reckon 18" as standard, we'll see

2) UK Front bumper will be like the WRC concept car (frankfurt)

3) Some debate about the UK rear spoiler and rear light

IIRC IMHO

I like the Recaros

No STi logo on the I/C

[Robbie09]

the front seats look the best bit on it to me

[TINO.wrx]

looks quite nice, love the recaros, and at least it has a bigger intercooler than the one you see in the "S-GT video clip" wonder if they will do an STi saloon in the yank/jap market??

Yep like the look of that especialy over the basic model, we called into the local dealers today just to take a look at the overall shape. Lin walked right passed the 2 they have on show be a different thing once the STI arrives Warby you will have pop down in yours so we can have a test drive

shame the JDM gets Quicker rack and heated/ folding mirror ;

But STi is looking much better
