I went rice.

[KWClutch]

I've been wanting to get back into the autoX scene for a while so yesterday I traded in my 09 F150 on a 09 STi. Blue with the Gold BBS wheels. Fully loaded. It's a blast to drive and launching it is a ton of fun. Not near the power of my Cobra but it handles on rails. Looking forward to taking it to the track soon.

Mods are K&N FIPK, HKS BOV, Cobb Stage 2 CM and SPT Catback. I'm going to tint the windows and just drive it for now. I'm sure I'll put a down pipe on eventually. Car puts down 312/294 to all wheels. Flame on.

Here is the only pic I have at the moment.

Nothing wrong with that. I just never liked the hatch models.

Not a huge fan of the Hatch, prefer the Sedan, but it still is a nice looking car.

balla, needs more loww!

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

well as long as you kept the car in your sig, it's good. no way i'd get rid of that for an sti hatch.

I agree. Coilovers and sway bars are going to be installed in the future. The guy I got it from also has a 1000hp TT Viper. This car has been very well taken care of and only has 20k miles on it. All highway. This was his daily.

Thats not rice man.... :shrug:

Rice is a 92 Honda Civic with a primer gray paint job.... and a ground effects kit.

Cat back exhaust with a 5" tip and Ebay cold air intake.

It has to have atleast 10 different stickers from performance companies, with no parts by that company on the car.

With an obligatory 3 foot tall wing. :coolman:

Nice car, good luck with autocross! :beer:

Dallas

Cool! I suggest you also try HPDE/OpenTrack with that car instead of just autocross.

Lol yeah I was just beating my own balls. I've just never seen myself to be a Subaru guy but after driving this I can see why they are so popular. So much grip.

Yeah I've been to both of those recently and that's what got me back in the mood. I used to race Lotus Elise, M3's and Miatas and I missed it more than I thought.

dump that HKS and go back to the stocker. do some research before you mod. the 08-10 are notorious for cracking pistons stock. here's a place to start North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club i only owned Subaru's till i got my GT500. great cars, but if you're gonna push'em you need pistons. the rest of the block and tmic are good for 500awhp. have fun.

Yeah I don't think I'm going to go big power, at least not for a while. Thanks for the link and info.

whatever he said.

 

[OneSlowCobra]

Not rice at all. Very cool car!

 

[Fenixfire]

Personally, I love the hatchback STIs more so than the sedans, especially the hideous looking 11'. Ive been thinking about picking up an 08 in the future as a DD. Id be happy with 400 awhp as a fun little daily. Bolt ons and upgraded turbo is all you need

 

[Competition]

Love those things, but like the sedans much better!

 

[Mach&Roll]

Nice car I have always wanted to drive one but just have not found one on a car lot. I was looking at the sedan the older model.

 

[VirtualSVT]

I like the hatch's better than the sedans..lol


Not really rice...

 

[3Dglasses]

Congrats on the purchase. They are fun inside and out. I also like the hatch better+++
