    2.0ltr better built, more performance focused...the 2.5ltr was built for the fat american arses, to carry them around to safeway.

    ADM Sti will definitely be the 2.5ltr !

    Don't worry Bornwild, the Sti spec 2.5ltr engine is far better than the basic Wrx spec 2.5ltr and it'll handle power upgrades to well over 325kw and over 600nm....

    The other other obvious advantage is that the 2.5ltr will make more or equal power and torque compared to the 2.0ltr with less boost, prolonging it's lifespan.

    In Japan (JDM) they have no choice but to use the 2.0ltr because of homoligation reasons - hope I spelt that correctly Click here to enlarge

    and also if there wasnt a 2ltr version they would be no longer welcome in the WRC, since they require a 2ltr production car as the basis.

    We will end up with used Jap import 2.0L STI’s within a year!
    Do they sell the 2.0l STI in other markets outside Japan?

    I think the UK has access to the JDM 2.0STI, but may be as a grey import....

    A friend has the outgoing JDM Spec C in Japan (ex Pat). He's considering the new one (to bring it back when he does) or a 2nd hand 22B.

    whichever of the 3 he returns with, he'll certainly confine it to serious trackwork...

    Spec C is very coarse, and wouldnt handle the spur very well..
    NVH wise that is....
    More opportunities have been lost from indecision, rather than wrong decision.
    Current and past Automotive list: 1984 Cordia Turbo, 1997 WRX, 1998 Forester, 1975 124 CC Sport, 1999 MX5, 2003 STi, 2004 TS Convertible, 2006 AH CDX Wagon, 1972 124 BS Spider, 1962 Vespa GL, 1975 124 CS1 Spider, 1974 124 CS Spider, 2007 AH SRI, 2008 AH CDTi, 2008 AH CDX Wagon...as well as 3 more CC Sports, 1 x AC Sport..Now with added new Colorado space cab extended pick-up! 8 still in current possession...I need a larger Garage!

    AFAIK I don't think so......

    JDM 2.0ltr Sti sales will suffice all homologation requirements Click here to enlarge

    Spec C are very nice, mate of mine has one and like you say it is a very harsh car, no sound deadening air-con power windows, nothing but speed!
    Are there many 22bs in aus?
