Does anyone have any informatioon on Australia getting the 2.5ltr STI in 04?

Also if you have driven what are your opinions of it.

I thought the USA was the only country outside of Japan getting the 2.5litre
STi.

I don't believe they are getting it. I have one in Canada, and it is a wild
little machine to drive; great low-end torque and all hell breaks loose at
2800 RPM. It also handles like it is on rails, and the DCCD is a blast on
dirt. I love the short-throw six-speed. However, the taut suspension makes
it less fun for Mom going to church on Sunday.

Eh? So is mexico the 51st state?

No. Republic of Texas counts as two.

What DCCD setting do you use on dirt?

I use full rear bias if the dirt is hard packed, and closer to locked if it
is really loose or sand, and I use the e-brake to kick the ass out when I
have it nearly locked. When you apply the e-brake, it opens the diff to max
difference. On pavement, I leave it in auto.
