The Impreza picture and discussion thread



  RS2'd Cup Trackcar
Were VF35 also fitted to the Bug STI uk's? thought it was just on the blob's.

Yes UK Bug STI's to.....The Bug RA, Spec C and S202 have the VF34 which is the roller bearing version of the VF30 fitted to the JDM bug.

All 3 turbos (30, 34, 35) all had the same size compressor housing but hot side on the 30 and 34 is bigger than the 35....P18 as opposed to the P15

UK STI 7s. (Bugeye STI) came with a VF30, not a 35. Twin scrolls were not on the JDM cars till the version 8.
The JDM cars also came with a quicker ratio steering rack.

Basically.....The JDM has eveything the UK has plus...

The same heads but slightly bigger intake ports.
A VF30 turbo as opposed to the VF35 fitted to the UK (perfomance wise, nothing really in it)
Higher revving cams.
Rear wiper.
Electric folding mirrors.

The engines are the same (apart from the porting and cams) and are no stronger than the UK car.

5k will buy a bug sti but only lightly modded IMO......They really are a cracking car and pound for pound the best Impreza you can buy ;)

sounds like your right, about not getting to hung up on a jdm really, quiet hard to find aren't they? invetigating spec c and s202 now! think i've seen an ra one in white.




more like this, got a few mods already on it, no mention of mileage though, so presume its high.

No Frayz they came with a VF35 and VF30 was the JDM bug, I never even mentioned Twin scroll.....I've broken a few bug STI's, UK and JDM ;)

A company called groupb, it's not a million miles from me. I have been driving it quickly but a fair bit away from the Clio lol

I too thought it was a 35 when I was removing it till I looked closer.
Definitely a VF30, swapped for a 20g, then an FP green, GT3076R, now a GT3582R

I know your car fella, I've read your build thread...very nice car :)... I think I've been on SN as long as you..;)

And if I wanted to keep the clio they would mirror the no claims discount so could keep the clio insured fully comp at 270 and scoob would be 649

Yes mate, I fancy that type r or a white ra that is also for sale on scoobynet which is mint.

A bit but nothing serious. Pistonheads should work. I'm thinking around 4500 for that white ra but the type r is up for 6k which for a v3 is a bit steep but looks good and fresh engine build. But is it worth 1500 more than that the ra. Both are near Leeds so can look at both and decide.
