Faster_nu Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 JDM STI is limited to 280 hp by law. That is the max for a regular production car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Law? I was pretty sure it was a "gentleman's agreement" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster_nu Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Could be, it really surprised me when they got the 300hp here and even more so when they put the 2.5 in it as it does not conform to racing specs, and is the 2.5 even avaliable in the STI anywhere else other than US?

Yes, the 276hp limit in Japan was a gentlemen's agreement. It was never an actual law. That agreement is mostly ignored today (maybe they just don't have as many gentlemen anymore...).

Faster_nu Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 HUMMM interesting as I do not think that the STI JDM is over 280hp. And this is why the Evo has stuck to 280hp also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster_nu Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Although the 2.5 is so much better for the low end, or just regular driving that I dont miss the 2.0 at all, I dont think the weight differance is that much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The Gentlemen's HP agreement has pretty much been thrown away. http://lexus.jp/models/ls/performance/engine/images/img-v8-01.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofi Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 This will probably run upwards of $40K IF it comes here. I would just like the JDM STI bumper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster_nu Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Well now we know that the wagon is a pipe dream for the US as the legacy wagon is no more. The STI legagy sedan might still be possible though. Although now that I have used the cobb access port with TDC map I sort of have lost interest. Too much hope and not enough money!

GTSPECB STI Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 sorry guys but I just couldn't resist the temptation! Will see what I can do for you with SOA :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 We'll completely forgive you if you're able to convince SoA to bring it to the US, and not a minute sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTVA76 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 This will probably run upwards of $40K IF it comes here. I would just like the JDM STI bumper! I guess a lot of people love the bumper. Anyone know if it would fit onto my 2005 body? Also, how do these Japanese suby fans roll in Japan. I would like to treat my suby with some clean JDM look. What do you guys think about a white LGT sedan with a set of Enkei 18" gold rims like the one posted here: http://www.tein.com/tech_info/img/as702.jpg If you know any other 18"s that would look great on my white LGT sedan let me know.

SubieDriver Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 The '05-07 US and Canadian Legacy has a thicker bumper beam on the front (due to Canadian requirements), so you can't put a JDM bumper on unless you change the bumper beam too. For '08 they redesigned it slightly so the bumper protrudes less than the '05-07, but slightly more than JDM (though I think the '08 JDM may be indentical to the '08 USDM).

Guest Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 08 JDM bumper covre is different than 08 USDM. Beam is likely different as well, although this has not been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
