Default STi parts, for GC8?

OK, I just started wondering...Since we are finally getting the STi, do you think availablity of STi GC8 parts will become a possibility at our local dealers? They'll obviously update there parts computers to include STi parts, but will it be limited to the USDM STI only

Question

Good question but I hate to be raining on your parade. Since you guys only have the GDA/GDB WRX cars I really cant see them carrying the parts. Tho they might be more willing or able to get them now.

see, that's what I'm wondering about....I've tried various STi parts numbers in the Subaru parts computer, with no luck. So I was just kinda hoping that maybe more STi parts will show up in the files.

Ikonosin, what are you looking for that you can't get now?

But to answer - probably not. Subaru doesn't see the ~16K GC8s they sold here as any substantial market share. Less so considering it is not even a current car in their inventory. In a year or few, you'll be more worried about being able to order stock parts! Ask SVX owners.

I imagine there's nothing STi that you can't get, provided you have the funds.

I just wish everything could be had at a dealership, then I could get employee cost on STi parts There's nothing specific that I want...I realize that most STi parts can be had, but sometimes the cost is way too high. You know, maybe buy a full STi interior brand new....stuff like that

The way it works is you ask the importers what you want, and they will fly over there to get it for you, among others.
