UK IS getting a better STi

[Blitzen]

Ok so you get a better STi, but well just read that link (lol) and it is true because the source is a very reliable UK car mag, AND it has been posted on so many boards - NASIOC, EvolutionM.Net, etc...

I am worried about the transmission for this STi. Subaru say they are investigating some options, and the best is the Getrag, as the R34 had a 6 speed Getrag which was so reliable, even with countless 7000rpm launches when the car is tuned to 750hp. However, isn't it a worry that, this transmission coming from your USDM STi can't cope with an extra 50hp? And isn't torque the big transmission breaker?

People these days, they ask some illogical questions

Anyone able to give info on the gearbox issue? Thats the only problem at the moment...

[Evomaniac]

gearbox issue...

yeah on the old one(2002-2003) wrx, wait we are in the year 2003 how can that be old anyway's it only apply's to that one, just read the new turbo magazine with a wrx in the cover, repeat, THE NEW ISSUE okay, and you'll find some good useful info in there if you own a wrx, I never knew the tranny had four part's only-weird, but you don't have to worry about it if you plan on purchasing the new 2004 U.S. sti which is equipped with a strond, durable, and rough tranny capable of withstanding a bulldozer and which has close gear ratios very nice or if you own a older(2002-2003) sti which has the same bullet-proof tranny with the close gera ratios.
