sold the SRT8 a few weeks ago, and bought this STi on saturday. i liked the jeep, but i was really starting to miss shifting my own gears... this car is a big change for me, but i like it a lot. the power delivery is much different than i am used to, that's for sure. it's a bit too low low for my taste (and the ride is a bit harsh too), so i already ordered some new springs that will raise it up a tad and improve the ride. i am thinking about removing the front lip too, haven't decided. anyway, the car is '08, 19k miles, stage 2 (turbo back exhaust, CAI, dyno tune). these are pics for the previous owner, i will have better ones soon...
i got another new car...

Very nice! I loved my Sti
Why did the owner sell? What is he replacing it with?
Is this going to be your DD?
I have some questions!!!!

ive seen this thing up for sale and i love the wheel on this, i just joined the subaru club and bought an 04 STI stage 2 about 2 months ago and man i love it.
Like everyone else said...that steering wheel looks awesome. Sick car, those style Subies are sick.
congrats, great car :beer:
that steering wheel is bad ass man. good looking ride
thanks guys... i agree on the steering wheel. it looks great and feels nice on the hands too (alcantara).
the previous owner bought a new raptor to replace the subaru as his DD. he also has a supercharged c6z06. this car will not be my DD as i have a company vehicle that i drive every day. but, i am expecting my first child any day now so this car will be my family/fun car and it fits the bill nicely. AWD, 4 door, plenty of room with the hatchback, and it's a blast to drive...

I'm not real big on Subaru's, but that looks sharp!
Pretty clean STI.
I love STI's but I'd rather have an SRT8 Jeep.
It doesnt look that low...is it stock height? I dont think youll have any trouble driving it around like that, my vette is way lower.
Nice STi man! I have a 09 STi bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, e85, makes 401whp and 415 wtq

A bigger turbo and some mods and these things SCREAM. Awesome steering wheel. Damd is the brand if you're curious. Its a $600-$700 wheel SCORE!

i see you didnt bother going to the M3 ;-) hahaha
it is lowered on eibach springs, probably about 1.25" lower than stock. these cars don't like to be lowered that much on stock components, so i am swapping out the springs to RCE yellows, which lower the car .6" but the spring rates are matched to the stock shocks/struts. it should ride/handle much better...
i did buy it from a member of iwsti...

nice car! the car is fast as is right now. it dyno'd 302 awhp, 350 awtq. i bet your car does scream... the wheel is actually made by Prova, according to the previous owner.
i would have, but i just didn't find one i liked in time. this STi popped up, and i bought it the day it was posted. it works out better for me anyway, being AWD and 4 door.

What's the red things behind the grille? There is a STI in town that have those things behind the grille but I haven't a clue what they are.
Good looking ride.
