macrosszero Turbocharged December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 The conclusion is that the only thing STI about this particular car is the vehicle description on the log card...... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithunk 1st Gear December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 (edited) "Subaru Impreza WRX STI" for sale see above link. The text reads "No Jokes. Logcard Shows "STI" But With A Lower OMV Than Real "STI"" Problem is when I look at the pics, the rims seem to be 16", cannot clear the STI stock brembo. The intercooler doesn't have the red STI words painted on, and is too small to be STI intercooler. The seats are black, which look like stock rex seats. The steering wheel doesn't seem to have the STI enblem. I'm betting that it's a "full demod to rex", and that it's a 5 speeder gearbox as well.. Wonder if they WROTE "sti" on the logcard. No surprises that the selling price is in base rex territory. Currently own a 2004/5 STi, and when I was shopping for mine, I came across such instances of cheating too. There it was to my face. I didn't know anything about wrx or sti then but thankfully a dad's friend was accompanying me to shop around, and I learned how to distinguish the two (can't be 100% sure but there are signs if a wrx didn't do a full 'conversion', or if a stock STi has been stripped for parts and downgrade to rex parts) the last time i came across this was when I was browsing at ubi carmart. don't know if they did the same shenanigans online. manual should be quite interesting to drive maybe the car is fast drive safe Edited December 10, 2011 by Ithunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_kkh 1st Gear December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 i saw a convertible Audi disguising as a R8, quite nicely done though... i wonder how will the driver feels if a real R8 stops side by side at a traffic light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomMX 4th Gear December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 possible a real sti but parts were taken out to sell n swap with base rex Possible.. A drastic dekit.. But OMV says otherwise leh.. I guess the STI on logcard is a typo error.. Or maybe doctored? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckwrx 1st Gear December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 This one is definitely a base rex. if the dealers themselves can't deferentiate one, the should be selling shoes, not cars. one can know if it's a GDA or GDB base on the markings on the lower portion of the right hand side windscreen. sometimes, i wonder if the sellers got brains or not. log card states 'STi'. so what? its obviously a base rex. the same as my i/c name is Andy but it doesn't automactically make me Andy Lau. koaz.. btw, how the fark the log card can state this particular one as 'STi'? printing error? You should be able to tell whether is it a GDA or a GDB from the chassis no...... and the chassis no appears both on the log card and well.... on the chassis itself. But still it can be very confusing for a someone that is not familiar with the make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
