Impreze TS, WRX and STI

turbocharged right foot is built it..so considered stock...if got NOS left foot, den is not stock liao

The unmodified TS does not have a honeycomb grille - instead it has a black plastic strip holding the Subaru emblem in the grille. The gearknob, seats and steering wheel are also different, and the voltmeter and charge meter are absent.

Open the bonnet and you'll see that the TS doesn't have a turbocharger and intercooler. The latter is placed on top of the engine, under the air sccop in the WRX and STi.

Only the STi comes with xenon headlights as standard, and as the others have pointed out, the TS has rear drum brakes, and the STi has all-round Brembo disc brakes.

usually, people with STI or WRX will keep their badges.

only those posers with TS will remove their TS badge.

casshern SG

casshern SG

ts lanpa got strip
rex no strip.
the boxer sound easy to make. they say just go op the xos. i saw 1 ts sound so much like rex & i tot it is till i see the lanpa

casshern SG

WTF us a lanpa? for a while i was reading lan pa

sunboy77 SG

Haha you did not read wrongly. It's really the lan pa.
Hmm correct me if I'm wrong: You can see the lan pa somewhere below the chassis. Somewhere near the centre of the car.

The engine note can't be changed by fiddling with the exhaust. Confused Of course you should be able to hear the blow-off valve in the more powerful cars when they're on the move.

kentheman SG

too bad, it does not apply now...our ride is auto...only manual den have NOS left foot add-on

TS

Rear drum brake
rear gearbox got fins strips (can see from the back)
the earlier batch, got no rear gearbox as its two wheel drive
third brake light at rear wind screen
normal front seats
if they got scoop on bonnet (see if there is a intercooler inside)
road tax

wrx / sti don't bother to find out till you can clearly see the difference between TS and wrx/sti.

happy new year

sinicker SG

so it’s no use owning a 1.6TS because it’s of a lower class?

cornyfish2000 SG

Is there a big performance difference between the WRX and the STi? Cos the price difference is certainly great (20k more for the STi) but on paper, the acceleration figures are only 0.3secs apart.

Anyone driven the 2 before care to comment? Is the STi worth the extra 20k?

no la we're saying its no use modding a TS....wasting yr $$ only....if u want a fast car then go get the WRX...want a daily commuter car then settle for TS...

drumstick SG

From what I heard from my friend who is a fan of subaru, he said nowadays wrx or sti or ts can be mod with the same design and appearance. even TS oso can fix on disc and use brembo cover to make it look alike. Dashboard, gear stick, speedo, spoiler, kit, exhaust, pratically all the decorative items can be changed.

There are a few ways to see but quite hard.

1) the under chassis( if you are so eng to bend down and have a look)
2) run with it and see if it has the torque in it.
3) ask the driver pull over, open front bonnet for u to see( as though that driver will do that...lolz)

But the best is...... ask that driver show you the log card lor.....lolz

SBS9828X SG

kaoz... yesterday was riding bike... then saw this rex wannabe... see the drum brakes, no bucket seats... den i saw the driver! walau ah beng stare at me Laughing

ladyesther SG

yes, it's worth buying the sti, infact the sti is a better choice.

below is wat sti have,
bigger brake caliper both front n rear (brembo)
six speed gear box (wrx 5speed only)
bigger drive shaft, with mechanical lsd.
bigger intercooler
higher torque
tougher engine
bigger injectors
bigger turbo
climate control
nicer steering wheel
nice speedometer
original intercooler spray
17 inch rims
etc.........
oso a lot higher parf value
etc......... many many more

AE86tofu SG

then u shld make the "L" sign to him lo.... Laughing

casshern SG

nowadays really alot of posers

all the wannabes...

subaru shd distinct their TS from the REXes and the STIs. if i was a WRX/STI owner i would utterly embrassed by those TS that tried too hard to look like a WRX / STI.

but the stock TS is good. abit on the heavy side though. tried my friend's stock TS and felt a good impression, though it wouldn't be comfy enuff to bring ur family ard during CNY.
