Welp I'm back in another subaru! Picked up this 08 with 70k miles last Tuesday. Super clean and bone stock most of its life. Only current mods are an invidia q300 with ti tips and Cobb 50/50. Picked up a catted dwg invidia dp yesterday and a v3 accessport today. So she'll be stage 2 this weekend. Oh it also has the roof rack which I haven't decided about keeping it. And bestop brake pads. Loving it so far! I missed the Subie rumble and I'm really liking the hatch. Current mods: Invidia catted DWG Downpipe - 8/10/14 Invidia Q300 catback with titanium tips Cobb AP v3 running OTS stage 2 - 8/10/14 Cobb intake - 8/27/14 Tint - 8/21/14 18x9.5 +40 Rays gram lights 57xtreme wrapped in 265-35-18 hankooks - 8/24/14 Drag neo chrome aluminum lug nuts Project Mu pads Fortune auto coilovers with swift springs 8k - 8/30/14 Fenders rolled and alignment 8/31/14 Weathertech mats front and rear - 12/25/14 Replica front lip - 1/31/15 Future mods include: Upgrade stereo Sways/end links Protune
Nice, man I love the sti hatch backs. Contemplated on selling my '05 for one. I only have about 72k on mine but I just can't part ways with it
Thanks guys. I flashed a stage 1 map to the car today. Pretty nice, seems to be a good bit smoother at lower rpm. And a subtle power increase. Now I gotta get this down pipe installed!
Installed my DP today thanks to the help of KA05STI. What a difference! has a deeper rumble to it now too. Also have to comment on cobb's launch control. Never had that on my previous subaru's but man does it make launching much easier!
Here is where i started in the subaru world. 2004 JBP STI. It had a slowboy stock location gt30 and supporting mods. Ending up spinning a rod bearing and replacing the shortblock. Sold it not too long afterwords due to it being too expensive for me at the time. Then i turned around and picked up this 2002 bugeye that was 6 speed swapped, vf39 and sti tmic. Tein coilovers and all the suspension goodies. Really miss this car!
i wanted to get this exact year as a hatch as well. but ended up with the sedan but I'm not complaining lol
Took off the thule rack and added a replica front lip. Debating on removing the door trim. Also thought about having the wheels powdercoated silver. Any thoughts?
if the concentration of asshats is the same as around here, I'd keep the door trim, coating is your call as I think either look good on silver... lose the chrome on the fenders with the R205 mod.
