WRX vs STI:
Sometimes people ask the difference between the WRX and STI models - they have different brakes, drivetrain, suspension, wishbones, steering system, gearbox and engine, etc.Don't be fooled by an "STI style" WRX as you will know when on a spirited drive around the twisty B-roads.
JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market. These models of the Impreza STI have a fair few factory improvements over the UK model variants making them better performing and the more sought after model.
These include :
Stronger Revised Engine EJ207 with more aggressive inlet cams (8k redline and 315bhp from the factory).
Twin-Scroll Turbo.
AVCS Heads.
Equal Length Manifolds.
Electronic Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD).
Short Shift 6 Speed Gearbox with Short 1st-4th for quick acceleration and Tall 5th and 6th Gears.
Programmable Shift light
Quick Rack Steering.
Intercooler Water Spray, both auto and manual.
HID Headlights.
Improved rear light layout.
Electric Folding Mirrors.
Rear Window Wiper.
Coin holder.
Tinted rear glass
