And all it needed to do that was this -



R205 model items (R205 is a special edition for Japan market).
Bigger turbocharger
Six-pot brake callipers
Flexible tower bar
Front lip spoiler

spec C model items (spec C is a special edition for Japan market).
Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres
Aluminum hood

Safety equipment -
Full-bucket seat
Roll cage
Five-point safety belts

Advanced items-
Under cover ie sump guard
Aluminium fenders

So a fairly modded Sti.

Nice shift from 5th - 2nd as well.

so, bar the cage, harness and seat (for safety reasons)...its still a factory delivered car?...

[Riggs]

Pretty Sure R205 has 4 pot rears too, over the normal twin Brembos.

[TJ]

No Andy

They are advertising this as the quickest sedan from the floor, not modified with other model bits.

Lets see you walk into City Subaru and order your sti in that spec

[Joe]

You can walk into Tokyo Subaru and order that spec, minus the cage, harness and seat.

[TJ]

Well no technically you cant - you either order a R205 or C spec Joe

[Bridantay]

Well no technically you cant - you either order a R205 or C spec Joe

technically you can order both

[TJ]

In the same car?

[Joe]

TJ, you can order any of those parts from the STi catalogue.

R205 and Spec C are just STi's with various catalogue parts fitted.

So you can get bits of both fitted to a stock STi.

Either way TJ, you're the biggest Subaru hater around which I find quite unusual considering you love Liberty RS's so much.. just appreciate it for what it is for once!

7:57 he comes pretty close to hitting that guard rail

decent lap !

The STi 6 pot full kit still has 2 pot rears, they are the exact same size as the stock Brembo 2 pots... except:

- Monoblock forged caliper as opposed to cast (stiffer and about half the weight).
- Silver paint
- Braided lines
- Different pad compound
- Grooved rotors

I'm not sure if the rear calipers have built in forged dog bones like the front 6 pots (as opposed to separate dog bones that bolt onto the caliper for the stock Brembos), but they probably do..

Brembo Gran Turismo kit is identical apart from colour and pad compound.. and its not homologated, thus the reason its $3k cheaper.
