07 STI Limited UGM #65

Was stock as of about a month ago. I just picked it up from topspeed and
got the siegel treatment after putting in a GT35R (UR kit), Cobb ss catback,
perrin fmic, 850cc injectors, 255lph fuel pump, cobb ap, and avcr.

I've been putting around all weekend with peak 417hp hnoes:
It runs silky smooth! (thanks scott and topspeed crew!)

I love the exhaust tone. It rumbles nicely below 4k. When it's in full boost
it sounds like a jet taking off!

Ok now the picts... (sorry, shoddy iphone picts)








I guess theres no looking back. I've got lots of nice STI parts to sell to
help recoup the costs

 

mmm sexy

 

beast

 

wow nice, how many psi was did the car producing that dyno?

 

20psi, pump gas

 

congrats, now pour in some Q16 and do it again

 

Awesome.....jealous, lol!

 

Dave,

Your car is a beast. Looks great too!

wow that's impressive! How much power can you put down before messing with the internals?

 

dibs on your turbo...if you sell it :sx:

 

^^^ :slap:

 

niiiiiiice! must be fun.

 

I'm not sure - you'll have to check with siegel or doug about that. 600?

I love the rumble up to 4k. In fact it feels stock-ish up to 4k except the
rumble. Then when it hits boost it's like a stout kick-in-the-face with lots of
noise from air rushing into the intake and rushing out the pipe. Sounds kind of
like a jet taking off :rofl:

 

500whp is the limit with stock short blocks. We have done once before 590whp. But not suggested.

 

Nice job:drool:

 

I drove 50 miles up to north ga and locked in cruise control at exactly 80mph.
I got an amazing 28.5 MPG!!! Theres a total incline from my house to the destination too.
I stayed out of boost. AVCR indicated max 0.30 mm/hg and 33% throttle max.
When the car was stock, I never got over 20mpg and typically get on average 16-17mpg.

Now i'm getting 23-24 mpg. The first tank was 12mpg haha

 

I think I got 25-26 at 80mph to Leeds AL. At least by the AP V2. Is that what you were using?

 

Yes it was an AP v2, but with a pro-tune by siegel. If I locked in at 70mph,
even at a good incline I was getting over 30. It's amazing.

 

Same here.

 

what hotside is this? .62 or .82, Curious

 

RE01R's :naughty:

 

The hotside:


Wrecked last saturday.
07 ugm sti vs guardrail at 30mph

 

what? nnnnooooooo!!!

 

HOLY S#IT! R u ok???? I hope no one was hurt.......... very sorry to hear. What happened?

 

r comps didn't warm up and all 4 broke loose when we hit boost
I wasn't the driver


The a038's only had about 10 miles on them.
New wheels put on two days ago

 

85 S on-ramp off of chamblee tucker
It may be totaled. Theres engine damage.
airbags didnt' go off, no glass broken

 

ouch, hope nobody is hurt and not totalled

if it is totalled, are you going to buy it back and part it out perhaps?

 

the question is... how much is it worth to buy out the wreck.

 

omg I hate you...you know that was my protege car

dude, glad you're alright, hope he was a REALLY good friend

not to be the vulture, but let us know if you're parting out...at least we can try and help you recoup some of the costs

 

dude im so sorry! hope your alright!

 

Water can be drunk. Blood... well.

Nobodies hurt. But I'm not alright :wtc:

 

Ouch, glad to see that you guys are alright!

 

holy shit dude... i just saw this. that is the total suck, sorry to see it in such a bad way.

glad to hear no one was hurt. your friend owes you a new FMIC kit, and whatever else isn't insured.

 

Accidents suck, especially when they're not your fault. Glad to hear you're alright

 

I'm speechless. What a shame. I'm glad you are alright. Right after it happened did you want to kill your friend or what?

 

So sorry...:wtc:

On the up side, you have just been voted unanamously into the highly prestigious "Guard-Rail Club"!!!

Welcome! :wavey:

 

Damn, when I came into this thread and looked over the posts i was saying to myself 'with all that power I wonder how long its going to last.'

Sucks man, hopefully you can get a good amount for it. If the otor is still good theres a good chance it wont be totaled. lets pray its not. But if it is and you can buy it back for a decent amount you could easily get your monies worth with the brakes, motor, turbo, tranny, etc. It'll just take time to sell.

 

Thanks everyone for all the comments

It was my brother. We were in shock. Still in shock.

Actually it was very surpising - it all happened so fast. We were'n't going fast either.
It's the combination of a big turbo, a cold morning, and brand new
not-broken-in-not-warmed-up R comps.

Actually I HOPE it gets totaled. I have new car replacement with all-state.

Has anyone had to make a claim with their "new car replacement" rider before?

Also, has anyone here every bought a salvaged car back from the insurance
before? I'm sure they'll know the value at an auction... i'm just wondering
how much it's really worth and how much they'll sell it to me.
That is IF they total it. :sx:

 

This too shall pass, although it sucks ass! The lesson here is never let anyone drive your car, unless it's The Siegel!
I hope your next project if it is a rebuild of this one, or a differen't car be even more phenominal!

 

Sure wish I had a guard rail to tap:wtc:

 

With the economy as it is, I'm going to have to put the check back into my
business. Unless they MAKE me get an 08 sti. who knows.

Either way I'm going to miss the 07 limited monster

 

Dood this sux, glad you are okay. Get your aftermarket shit off of that car asap, if you don't buy it back...Hell tell them you will give them back the replacement parts. Basically it comes down to they pay off the receipts you have or let you get the stuff off. Where did you have it towed?

 

There is a young lady on here she just posted under classifides but I can't see the damn post anymore. She is selling a 98 or 1999 2.5 RS, I think this is the year. It looked clean as hell. I believe it was around $8k. This would be a killer daily driver, affordable project car, really fun cars, keep you in a Suby within budget, low insurance, good on gas until you modify the crap out of it. Just my idea.

 

8K is too high too many can be found with less miles for less $$$. The color was right tho BLACK!

 

Agree'd there! Yea the black one

 

Tereance, greg and I are expert junk yard swappers. For the cost of a few aftermarket parts off your ride I'm sure we'd be willing to help you get your parts swapped out.

 

Werd! Tell them you need to remove parts that DID NOT COME ON THE VEHICLE. All you have to do is replace the big visuals, motor...tranny...wheels...seats. Yank your ECU, turbo, turboback, etc. Take those wheels off and put some nasty wheels on.

Trust me, take all you can, lol.
