Sti Nomenclature


Recommended Posts

Posted

I hear a lot of chat about this "STI 7", that "STI 8" and even the odd "STI 9"...

Whazzit all mean? How does this numbering scheme relate to Classics, Bugeyes, Blobeyes, Hawkeyes, Hatches and the like?

And what happened to STIs 1-6? Don't seem to hear much about them...

Yours as ever,

Confused from Central.

1 - 6 are classics, 7 is a bugeye and 8 and 9 are blobeyes. Basically a different number for each updated version.
Thank you.

That's interesting, because I gathered there were two 'revisions' of the Blob STI. Any idea what was changed between the two?

yup nitrided crank with better oil flow, wider track (you can tell by the little spats on the rear wheel arches), dccd (in UK anyway), 114.3 pcd with wider alloys and uprated hubs, removal of some big rubber bush thing from steering column to supposidly give better steering responce and updated interior amongst others.

Engine good for High 400's as long as your sparkplugs dont fall to bits :icon_salut:

Cheers for the info Graeme and for quelling my curiosity, you truly are a walking Impreza spec. sheet :icon_salut:

(No doubt if I'd asked the same question over on ScoobyNet they'd have called my mother a libidinous wh0re or worse ;)).

So the Jdm Sti's get the nitried crank first then few years later or more passed on to the uk spec Sti .Rcm mention this crank on there website with the start of the twin scroll turbo's
