Subaru Impreza STI Sedan & Hatchback

Subaru Impreza STI Sedan & Hatchback Features

Roll Cage:
Every rally car requires a welded-in safety cage. The roll cages in our cars are built in-house from scratch.

Racing Seats:
Driver and co-driver need to be firmly mounted to the structure of the vehicle. The use of hinged-back seats in rally vehicles is prohibited in rally and most forms of racing.

Racing Harnesses:
Safety first. A minimum of a 5-point harness is required by all American rally sanctioning bodies. The 5 points consist of 2 shoulder harness, 2 lap belts and a single anti-submarine belt (not shown).

Handbrake:
Most rally cars use a hydraulic handbrake. The purpose of the handbrake maneuver is to turn a car around a very tight corner by locking up the rear wheels aiding in the rotation of the car around the corner.

Engine:
Our Subaru STi’s use a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder Turbo-charged Boxer engine.

Drive train:
The Subaru STi is equipped with an advanced all-wheel-drive system with an active center differential.

Gravel Rally Tires:
Being a rally school, we spend most of our time on gravel roads. To maximize the learning experience, we outfit all of our cars with the latest gravel rally tires for maximum traction.

Method Rally Wheels:
It is very important to have a durably strong, yet lightweight rally wheel that can hold up to constant abuse, rocks, rough roads and punctures. At DirtFish, we use and trust Method Race Wheels.

Suspension:
Rally is rarely on a perfectly smooth roads, because of that rally cars require suspension that can take the abuse. We choose to use Reiger rally suspension on our cars.

Brakes:
Rally cars commonly use a 15″ rally wheel. In order for the wheels to fit on our Subaru STi’s, we had to convert them to a Group N brake setup.

Underbody Protection:
Driving at high speeds over variable surfaces can easily damage parts. With the constant spray of gravel that gets thrown at them, skid plates and urethane underbody protection help with the longevity of the underbody of the cars.

4 cylinder, turbocharged engine
6 speed manual transmission
All wheel drive with active differentials
Multi-point roll cage
