Exactly.
The type-25 is an STi done right.
I don't care to have LHD myself but,
I'm pretty sure they have the Cosworth long block in them and when I was pricing the Cosworth out it was around $18,000 to have one installed in my STi.
In the end I decided I was better off prepping my STI for STU and just getting a GTR which is what I did. My GTR should be here very soon

The type-25 when you add in all the other nice things the car has with a warranty to me it seems like a good value and compairing it to an ESX is a joke.

To be honest, for the premium you pay for these cars, I'd way rather build my own STI. Whether Litchfield does everything, or I pick all the parts, power level, shop and tuner, it's just money being spent.

Although the Litchfield is nice, I still would rather build my STI as well

I would pay $70k for a car that looks completely stock with a stock STi top mount intercooler pushing 415 ponies to the wheels. If you compare it to comparable performance cars, its a bargain.

Check out this Video of the Type 25 from Fifth Gear
YouTube - Litchfield Type 25 Subaru WRX
YouTube - Litchfield Type 25 race car
YouTube - Litchfield Type 25 at sidc knockhill
YouTube - Impreza Type RA-R @ Litchfield


He even gives some great driving tips for driving the impreza

I have been in contact with Ian (Litchfield) and he tells me that by summer´s end they should have the MY08 ready. If it´s as good as a conversion as the MY07 is to the Type 25, this man has my money.

I remember 5th gear reviewing this 2004 model. It was amazing..
and remember STi costs twice as much in UK.
