  • Sti Differences Between Years
    Differences between each year of STi by STi FR3AK The Subaru Impreza STI, (formerly WRX STi, officially changed in 2006 to STI) is the highest standard-edition trim in the Subaru Impreza compact car line, produced by Japanese automaker Subaru. In the late 1980s, Subaru created the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) division to coordinate development for the FIA World Rally Championship and other motorsports activities. After the company had grown, the division was used to create high-performance consumer versions of the Subaru Impreza WRX, an all-wheel drive car with a turbocharged boxer engine, leading to the development of the Impreza WRX STi. The Subaru World Rally Team has used a race-prepared version of the WRX STI as its rally platform since the model trim's creation. First generation (1992 - 2000) First generation (GC) Production 1992-2001 Body style(s) 2-door coupé 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon Engine(s) 2.0 L H4 Wheelbase 99.2 in (2520 mm) Related Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza WRX Subaru Forester There were six versions of the STi. The different versions were marketed with consecutive numbers. Another way to tell the version of a WRX STi was to look at the chassis code. Sedan STi Model Codes were GC8, Coupes were GM8 and Station Wagons were GF8, followed by a letter from A to G. There was a GC chassis version of the RS released in 2001 as well in the United States. One common misconception is that every Impreza between 92-01 were "GC8's". The code breakdown is as follows; G - stands for Impreza, C - sedan, M - coupe, F - station wagon, The 8 stands for the 2.0 L turbo motor.

  • Press Information
    PRESS INFORMATION HIRVONEN POWERS TO WRC CENTURY IN TURKEY KEMER, 15 June 2008 - Ford today claimed a record-breaking 100th consecutive points finish in the FIA World Rally Championship with the Focus RS World Rally Car. It became the first manufacturer since the launch of the championship in 1973 to reach a century of successive scores (see below) on the Rally of Turkey thanks to Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen claiming their second win of the FIA World Rally Championship season in a Ford Focus RS World Rally Car, and team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila just 7,9 sec behind in another Focus RS as Ford extended its lead in the manufacturers' series to nine points. After dominating Friday's opening leg to hold first and second, Hirvonen and Latvala deliberately eased their pace in the final few metres to drop down the leaderboard to gain better road conditions yesterday. A lower start position meant they avoided the huge disadvantage of being first and second on roads covered by slippery loose gravel. Instead, they benefited from the cleaning process of the cars ahead, who swept stones from the surface to leave a cleaner and faster line on which to attack. Ford's Finns rocketed back to first and second yesterday morning and attacked hard to build as big a lead as possible over championship rival Sébastien Loeb, who swept the roads, in third. Hirvonen and Latvala had the unwanted 'cleaning' role today, but the buffer was big enough to hold off a determined charge from Loeb during the final 31, 03 km speed test to claim the team's second 1-2 of the season.

Norwegian driver Anders Gröndal, also in a Subaru, finished in second with a comfortable 3 minutes 51 seconds gap ahead of third placed defending P-WRC Champion Armindo Araújo (PRT) in his Mitsubishi Evolution Lancer X, but Gröndal was unable to touch Flodin. The Norwegian finished 1 minute 13 seconds behind the leader, despite racking up six stage wins over the course of the event. A series of problems for Gröndal assisted Patrik to hold onto his clear lead. On SS3, Gröndal caught the car in front and was just getting back on track on day one when he lost his light pod on SS7 and had to complete the stage in the dark. Day two also got off to a bad start when his eager pursuit of Flodin in SS9 landed him in a ditch, leaving the air box full of snow and his engine performance limited. Overall on day three, Gröndal shaved six seconds off Flodin’s lead, but this wasn’t enough to touch the class winner.
