That subie sedan is what the STi should have looked like.

I agree, at first I wasn't such a fan of the sedan but since we've got a gunmetal MY09 WRX sedan sitting in the showroom it's really grown on me. Now I' d take one over an Sti any day until either A: they make an Sti sedan, B: they bring out the Sti Spec C or C: We see a Litchfield Type 20.

KE25 Corolla, bolt on flares, ducktail spoiler, mild front lip and some suitable rims (Panasports/Minilites?). Gorgeous. Possibly my favourite style of Corolla looks wise....


 
She's a beauty.

Recently fell in love with Alfa 159's so hopefully the is car fits in the Imports thread alright!
Might be a little overdone but I love that front end!

 
Alfa 159 is welcome as far as I'm concerned. Personally I prefer the Novitec though:

Autodelta's 159 J4 2.2C is nice too

2.2 Supercharged twin spark engine, with 245bhp, 0-60 in about 7 seconds and 150mph

That is the most beautiful 'Rolla I have ever seen. Ever.

The Litchfield Type 20 is out, check out their website! 👍 (although i'd swap the ROTA copies for the real deal Advan RS, they chose ROTA to keep costs down) Hopefully the Type 25 isn't too far away (they're currently busy moving to a bigger premises)

If I had the money i'd buy the sedan and swap the STI engine, drivetrain and ancillaries to create my own long wheelbase STI. Then hand it to Litchfield to turn it into a weapon! :crazy:


EDIT: Possible repost, but the car is more than worthy!

'Rolla SR5!

I actually thought of that the day I saw the sedan and the STi in the same mag this summer (or so?). Swap everything over to the sedan and make yourself a little sedan STi. I reckon that's gonna be a popular swap over the years.

I'd be suprised if it hasn't been done already. Seems the obvious thing to do!

Sweet Corolla 👍

I know the Type 20 is out, I meant see one for sale in NZ.

KE35 is even better looking IMO..

I personally prefer the KE2x series but the KE3xs are cool too. Got any nice KE3x pics?
 
these should do the job.. ;)

Oh yeah, I've definitely found the wheels I want. These AME FS-01's are absolutely perfect! :drool:

Surely you'll be waiting forever? I can only find original (2004 model) Type 20/25 for sale in the U.K unless I look on Litchfields stock list. I'd probably have to hire a vehicle scout to find the latest Type 25 for me as they've pretty much reached supercar status over here.

So I guess due to Litchfields system of only building as many cars as are ordered and the rate at which British supercar owners snap them up as practical cars, you'll be waiting 3-4 years before seeing one?

Yea I know. I was more just saying that unless some/any make it to NZ that my choice of the current shape Imprezas would be the 2009 WRX.

Wow.

That older TL with the RonJon wheels is badass.

They have a 5x114.3 fitment....I think I know what wheels I want for my car. :D
 
Careful then. Just like some would consider it poser to slap Nismo's on a Toyota, some may find it weird to put RonJons on anything but an Acura/Honda. :sly:
