Hate is such a strong word....and yet no other word I can think of describes how bitter and jealous I am of you. Sweet car.

haha I really appreciate your compliment. If you lived near me I'd offer to let you test drive it. What fun is a car like this if no one but me gets to enjoy it haha!

Nice! Riding in the car is fun but you don't get the full effect until you are the one banging thru the gears.I'm assuming you live in Ontario. I used to ride with a couple guys from onterrible all the time..Mike Comello, Logan Peat and crew :-)

i used to play grand trismo and had the blue sti with black rims.. very nice looking car. Hope there are some engine mods under that hood.

Ive got mixed feelings about the black rims. My bro has a 07 WRX in blue with the silver rims, and a couple of his friends have either black with gold rims or red with black rims, or black and silver. Just odd to see a blue STi with black rims.

Exactly! You're used to the common WRB/gold or WRB/silver wheel combo. I didn't want something that every one has. It looks 1,000% better than gold IMO. And yes, I have a TBE, intake and engine management Smile

Going to want to avoid that behaviour! No way you'll ever be able to get a car like this unless you study hard and stay out of trouble.. Just learn from your mistakes Smile

I think it looks wicked with black rims, prefer them to the usual gold ones.

thanks for the reply but i don't my car to sound or ride like crap Smile Teins are not designed with US roads in mind and the evo catback is way louder (and raspier) than I want. I do plan on getting some RCE yellows in the spring tho Smile

Brother, i love the boxer growl but hate exhausts that are unnecessarily loud. My car has plenty of growl, believe me! And I choose to use parts that were specifically designed by a company (who is a HUGE supporter of the STi's) to work in harmony with the stock struts and suspension dynamics..which is why I will be getting RCE springs. Nothing against what your friends have, like you said to each his own Smile

how much bhp has that got cuz my neighbour has 1 and it sounds nice

flag vpfreerider (Nov 30, 2009 at 5:34)
It dynoed at around 285awhp so factor in 20% drivetrain loss and you'd get 340bhp. It's fast Smile
