I believe this is one car Subaru fans will want to build themselves!
Anybody know more info on this? I searched everywhere and can't find a thing!@

I got an e-mail from Ian Litchfield (in reply to an question I submitted on their website a few months ago) saying that they intend to bring something like the Type-25 to America. It would be Dynocomp (located in Arizona) who would modify USDM STIs with Type-25 parts much the way that Litchfield does it now in the UK.

If the price was right and had a warranty, that could be a very good deal for those that just want that "little bit more."

especially if that little bit was viewed as just holding you over until you were out of the warranty period I would have been very interested in something like that...

How is a 'company' named "Subie.Tv" going to put out a ESX type car without making the consumer roll on the floor laughing? "Subie" sounds like an Australian little girls name.

I'm pretty sure this "Ultimate STI" is what Ben has been talking about. The reason he is selling the race car. Future project cars from HSPN with How-To vids..
