Beyer's got the right idea. Still looks more like a BRZ tuned by STI (tS) than anything else.

Without interior or underhood shots we're all just speculating on what else it has. Those do look like JDM exhaust tips though.

As far as wheels: That's what happens when you add width but stay at +48 offset...Subaru keeps their offsets high.

9K REDLINE OR BUST!

Hanakuso 10-31-2012 01:42 PM

New seats as well

Guff 10-31-2012 01:43 PM

Also, no STi exhaust? I thought that was already developed...

Now this is worth looking into. The WRX/STI have never come with branded exhausts (HERE anyway)...but I'd imagine that the JDM WRX tS might have, since it was just a parts catalog car.

And it looks lower than the STI springs would make it.

I agree that there is likely no FI going on in there, beyond that everything is speculation, I don't think there is much to gain from these photos so far.

you can see in this pic the standard radiator, no inter cooler, unless they want to later put that on and add a hood scoop

Agreed. The springs drop it 15mm. If it's anything else, maybe Bilsteins?

Still looks N/A. No scoop, and by the looks of it, I cant see any hints of an intercooler in the grill.

I do hope for a higher redline as well Guff!!!!

They have always said any STi version would be faster than the standard one, so I'm guessing some NA tuning maybe bore and stroke.

Guff 10-31-2012 02:19 PM

Didn't Karamatsu say that stronger valve springs is all they needed to safely redline at 9k or something? Or am I mistaken?

That would be something...

illmatic 10-31-2012 02:21 PM

I bet this will be a japan only Ts version, just like the new Legacy on 11/13.

Yeah pretty much... that was Subaru chief engineer Masuda in an interview with Top Gear magazine I think.
