Ridgeracer Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Lets talk about the 2010 sti. Does anyone know if the fozzy STi will every come state side. That thread on Nasioc is sweet. Yeah that Fozzy XTI that SOA put together for SEMA was really sweet. I would prefer that over an '10 LGT or STI "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah that Fozzy XTI that SOA put together for SEMA was really sweet. I would prefer that over an '10 LGT or STI +1 I love that thing! I remember the test on the previous model Forrester STI on TOP gear and that thing handled and performed just like the STI, except that it has so much more room. The new forrester is like an escalade on the inside compared to the STI . I'd love to have the XTI, but alas it's a pipe dream. They won't make it.

Knight705 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 didn't they say that the XTI was a parts bin build? they have all the parts already, just up to corporate to say yes to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I kinda dig the concept, granted I won't be able to afford one nor the necessary insurance, so my opinion doesn't quite mean that much, but it seems fun But I think they peaked for the 06-07s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much off the shelf. Lets see... STI drivetrain - $3-4K STI turbo - $1K STI brakes - $2K STI springs - $300 JDM front end - $2K STI front seats - $1K STI wheels - $2K Did I forget something??

BAC5.2 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've heard rumors of a 5EAT variant, and a removal of Brembo's.

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 de-contenting strikes again. Funny, Hyundai gets Brembos. Camaro gets Brembos. STI might lose them... Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 What subaru track record would lead you to that? And what street-based forged monobloc brakes are better than Brembo? Wilwood and stuff like that is good for the track, but they aren't exactly an OE-supplier for street cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Probably just the 22B-type Subaru calipers. But still, de-contenting, compared to Brembos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Again, all aftermarket, and good, but they don't put brakes on batches of cars that are sold in showrooms, under warranty. Aftermarket and OE is slightly different in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 What OE cars, especially not boutique hand-built super-bucks cars that are built in numbers less than 1000, are built with those brand of brake hardware, and warranted after the sale? And then how likely is Subaru to drop brembo for those companies, rather than the almost certain de-contenting that will probably put standard OE-grade non-branded brakes on the STI... STI losing Brembos probably means that it either gets WRX-Subaru-branded brakes, or Legacy GT brakes. I doubt they would go to some other branded manufacturer of brake hardware, when Subaru has warranty commitments to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Crap, you said it had to be more than 1000 I will say that there have been a number of cases where a vehicle was offered w/, and w/o Brembos, and in a few of those (Nissan 350z/Infiniti G35 are the ones I know of immediately) the non-Brembo cars had better stopping distance, and close to the same, or better, fade resistance...

VTGT Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^You would also be more comfortable in an Fozzy I didn't say I didn't fit in my current LGT, I would rather just have a little more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
