ATTN: 06 STi owners

not sure if this applies to all the 06 STi's or any of the other model years...

my STi has plastic motor mounts... will @ SOG said these could shatter under hard launching or hard shifting... i will be upgrading to STi group N mounts as soon as possible

 

I wonder if the WRX has the same mounts. It is basically the same engine.

 

plastic eh? thats crazy for the amount these things cost new.

 

i can name a couple of drag racers on here with a lot of launches under their belt

 

I actually heard about that issue on NASIOC. Seems to have died off though

 

Don't forget about the plastic pitch stop as well.
Lots of those breaking from heavy footed take-off's.

 

haha amazing pictures..

 

If i remember correctly, '06 STi's have plastic. '06 WRX have metal ones. I think it was because people were complaining that the metal ones were too loud.

 

might as well do your tranny mount too....
