Dirty Deed Done - Time for More Fun

[H Wrx]

After two years and 38,000 miles decided the WRX had to go to be replaced by a new STI - Couldn't believe when I was told there were only 5 available in the UK for registration before the end of the month (Free Fuel deal!)

To add insult to injury there were only black and crysyal grey ones available. Didn't like the crystal grey so black it is!!

Only problem is - T&C Aberdeen didn't have a demonstrator so I have bought one un-tested (Didn't buy it from T&C but that is another story!). Question is - how much of a performance difference will I notice from a standard 54 WRX to a 56 STI Type UK???

Congratulations mate, black is the colour to go for []

I traded my 53 plate WRX last friday for an 06 STi and have to say that the difference between the 2 is like night and day. I went on the run last sunday and the whole setup on the sti is amazing. Certainly a lot more power, hugely improved handling and braking too. I've not run mine in as yet so have not appreciated it to the full, but I can say for sure that you won't be dissapointed []

That's what I like to hear - must admit was always a bit disappointed in the WRX brakes - had a few scary moments going over the Lecht!

They firm up with better pads/discs, but the Brembos are very nice.

Good choice on the car too.
