what do you mean different types of STI,

I take it you mean the Type R, type RA, STI, and wagon STI...?

or do you mean from year to year?

you also get nz new WRX which is nearly an STI... but not

edit: then you also get the later version 7 & 8 SPEC C..

and jdm wrxs

and wrxs with full sti parts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexually_transmitted_disease

 

A sexually transmitted disease (STD), also known as sexually transmitted infection (STI) or venereal disease (VD), is an illness that has a significant probability of transmission between humans or animals by means of sexual contact, including vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex. While in the past, these illnesses have mostly been referred to as STDs or VD, in recent years the term sexually transmitted infection (STI) has been preferred, as it has a broader range of meaning; a person may be infected, and may potentially infect others, without showing signs of disease. Some STIs can also be transmitted via use of an IV drug needle after its use by an infected person, as well as through childbirth or breastfeeding. Sexually transmitted infections have been well known for hundreds of years.

well the versions are easy.. "basically speaking"

V1 - 2 were 95-96

V3 - 4 were 97-98

V5 - 6 were 99-00

Version 7 01-02

Version 8 03-04

or something like that.

From V1 -6 they all retained the same chassis but got face lifted for each group.

V1-2 had the slanted top mount intercooler, V3-4 got the phase 1 engine and v5-6 the phase 2.

Generally speaking they got more power as they went along

V7 got a new engine and V8 went to the twin scroll set up and equal length headers (and AVCs heads)

chassis wise V 1 to 6 are all GC for sedan and GF for wagon

Version 7 above went to GDA for sedan and GDB for wagon.. (not entirely sure on that one)

**every point above can be expanded ten fold to describe the full changes

*** many things i will have missed

changed it now

[ReubenH]

I'm loving all this marly though... damn it's been a while since i have listend to any.

Oh, STi's

Version 1 (extremly rare):

Version 2, still has the old style headlights, bonnet, grille, rear bumper and orange tail lights.

basically looks like the above, but without the massive spoiler.

^^ that's a UK cluster though

Both cars above are actually special editions, normal STi's didn't get the roof scoops.

Version 3, lots of updates, new engine etc. Cosmetically, New neadlights, grille, bonnet, back bumper, tail lights (now clear, not orange) and kept the V2 spoiler.

They also introduced the Type R, the coupe.

:'(

Version 4, cosmetically the same as the V3, but some got the big front lips. Inside though, they got a huge face lift, to a much more modern interior. More or less the same engine as the V3 too.

An example of the lip on a type R.

New interior

(this is a V5 one though)

Version 5, New engine again, and new face lift, they got a new grille, new bumper, and the big sti wing we all know and love

Version 6, Looks like the V5, only they got a front lip, and the big spoiler/wing at the back was made a bit more aggressive, with a little flair at the back of it. This was also the last time they officially called them by their versions i THINK. They are known by model year after this, such as 05 sti, 07 sti etc.

Version 7, the bug eye. Total overhaul, new chassis, new engine, new interior, new everything.

That's the stock V7 sti spoiler. The big ones are all from later models, or from the prodrive edition V7's.

Version 8, Got a face lift, new tail lights too, and the big wing.

Version 9. Now allot of people get this one mixed up, the Version 9 looks just like the V8. The way to tell them appart is the little flair on the rear arches, and the different wheels, they went to 5x114.3

Version 10, The face lift. NZ new changed to a 2.5L engine for this generation, Japanese is still 2L

And the V11, the hatchback.

[wrx_lou]

Good work ruebs.

[DRFVDR]

I prefer one in White.

[Joker]

oh yea - they officially stopped calling them "versions" too after um 8?

just Us Urabus Nutterz have kept them in order...

[G-unit]

remember seeing a ver1 sti in palmy, the same as the 1st 1 but was red, dam the spoiler is ugly

yeah there was a black one round here. Never realised that was a stock spoiler though. thought they must of had a low one and put that on instead. pretty hideous alright!
