marko72 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Hi. What are the differences/improvements with the 55 plate blob sti's from the earlier blob models? I understand there were positive changes. A mate is asking. Thanks.
paul555sti Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Having just bought one i should know but i dont I know its got the centre controled diff DCCD that i dont think the earlier models had but wait for Barry or Dave to come along and they will explain
scooby222 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Pauls right, 05 model blob was the first to get dccd apart from the wr1, widened rear track which required the little blisters on the rear wheel arches, thicker drive shafts giving the 114 pcd, uprated spec c suspension and avcs (variable valve timing) heads also a different type of diff but i cant remember what off the top of my head
Badgerboy Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I know its got the centre controled diff DCCD that i dont think the earlier models had but wait for Barry or Dave to come along and they will explain My 2003 has DCCD so possibly nothing changed there.
paul555sti Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 My 2003 has DCCD so possibly nothing changed there. Thought your was a spec c mate? ( an import ) The 2005 sti and wr1 were the first uk cars to get this i think.
Badgerboy Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Thought your was a spec c mate? ( an import ) The 2005 sti and wr1 were the first uk cars to get this i think. True Paul, does that make it an "outcast" LOL
paul555sti Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 True Paul, does that make it an "outcast" LOL No thats the hatches The fact its white makes it ok
scooby222 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 yea yea yea Andy, bloody high spec imports - but has it got an auto setting???
fai17 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 yea yea yea Andy, bloody high spec imports - but has it got an auto setting??? I believe they might have.
badbaz Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 No Auto on the 'cheap imports' The suspension is lighter, the interior is better (from memory lol) The car just benefited from loads of improvements and is far more 'focused' than the earlier blobs.
Joe G Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 yea yea yea Andy, bloody high spec imports - but has it got an auto setting??? More fun with the manual DCCD
Badgerboy Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 More fun with the manual DCCD Agree ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ No auto, only manual, which gets rather interesting in the wet
marko72 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for the input fellas. I'll pass the info along.
G.Mac Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 off tbe top of my head DCCD Helical diff rather than the suretrack diff on the older cars Wider track Thicker driveshafts Stronger hubs wider wheels with 114 pcd some uprated oily bits such as crank yaw sensors linked into dccd updated interior quicker steering rack better suspension (that still knocks) And a few other things I cant remember Graeme
john_mchutchison Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 o and all the fastest drivers have them Amen to that
Gumball Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 If the 55 is anything like the 07, the DCCD makes the thing suck camels a$$ I nearly lost it at deaconsbank roundabout yesterday, fishtaled left then right trying to correct it. It looked cool, but the 53 blob would have never done that
Spaceman Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 think your needing to change the sig then old yin lol
BalliSTIc Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 o and all the fastest drivers have them That'll be how you got SKINNED by one of them OUTCAST cars at Alford then Dave!!! :rotfl:
