btw... the garage door to the right in the 2nd picture... I had to pay for that to be replaced when my wife drove (coasted) my 05 through it... 2am July 4th is probably not the best time to teach one's wife how to drive a stick... clutch was fully engaged, but she couldn't find a free foot for the break... (I had time to tell her to brake 3x but wasn't sharp enough to pull the hand-brake)...
Thought that at first too, but I think I read somewhere first/limited run of aspen white, the rest were any color
exactly... there was something like ~166 white ones, and then it became a full production model / trim package.... (a little more difference than "trim", but "model" would be too strong of a word)... I'm loving it...
Did you get this from SOK? If so I was eyeing this the other day in the showroom, it did have a "Sold" tag on it so I assume it was this one. Very nice indeed.
Thanks everyone! the one @ SOK had a deposit on it before they received it... soooo happy went with SOG. I'm not the easiest customer, and they dealt straight and won the business... ymmv
The new STI is an awesome car. Lots of people don't like it cause of the hatch but that is fixed with the 2011. It is more comfortable, just as fast and just as easy to mod as the old one. I would tell you to atleast go drive one. If you do, turn the SI drive to sport or sport # or you will be disappointed. Congrats on the car, though. I know I love mine.
Nice ride! If they made an 2008 STI sedan I would have bought one but had to settle because I don't like the hatch back. Will have to check out the rumored 2011 STI sedan and see if I can resist the urge to upgrade. The hatches are growing on me though.
I had an 05 sedan, and it was the *best* car that I *had* ever driven... (I've owned and driven quite a few)... I love the hatchback, but it just suites me (as I currently exist)... I'd like to know if the center of gravity is different between the sedan and the 5-door... this car handles *way* better than my 05... the stiffness makes it more responsive in all directions (seemingly even forward)... I feel much lower, and it seems way more stable... I understand that the beefed up suspension could explain all of this, but it really *feels* like the COG has been lowered and brought forward...
I managed to *not* screw up this step... You can't even tell that I took a hacksaw to the crossbars. ...except by the extra-tight fit...
Kinda... I had to hit Rswl Bikes for a part, still don't have actual bike carrier... but we're getting there...
i think i saw you on last Friday at 141. I was is black evo x with california tag. ur sti look Beautiful
LOL...you should of let me know...I get a discount at both shops since I race for Roswell and use to race for CW
hell yeah... I saw you.. the cali tag gave you away... that evo's tight.. the only other car I considered...
I appreciate it! the whole bike rack thing would have been easier online, but I figured I should support my LBS every once and a while... it kinda' backfired, but I still love the cw guys...
