So - not really much of a participating member on here anymore. Most of you know I sold my car to a new forum member about 2-3 months ago.
Had a hard time deciding what I wanted. Was back and forth between an S2000 (AP2), 06 STi, Evo8 MR or a 9 if I could stretch it. Nothing seemed to really entice me that much- particular what was on offer at the time. I even had a brief look into Nissan - quickly realized it would be a mistake so backed out of that cul de sac pretty quick.
Settled on an 06 STi. I just love the look of them, the interior and what they can do with very little money invested. My main aspiration for selling up was because I wanted a newer car, something that could "do it all" and with a bit more room. Started scouring the net everyday, joined Rexnet forums and had a look on there. It wasn't until early last week that I saw this pop up. Had been up for a day, 191 views, 0 replies and ticked all the boxes that I had set myself. Long story short - picked up the beast this afternoon and am looking forward to a brilliant, easy and hopefully trouble free relationship.
The only decent pic I have of the car - still looks the same and I was able to scrape the plates off him as well.
Mods on the car include:
JVC Headunit
Hi-Tec TBE - gives the rumble but is pretty quiet even when on boost. Very streetable.
CAI in the front driver's wheel well (stock location)
Dyno tune by JEM I believe - 208awkw
S204 front lip
Powdercoated stock rims on RE070's - 225/40/17 all around
Seems like it has aftermarket strut braces - not all STi's came with these
Tien lowered springs - stock spring rate
Walboro 255lph
Future plans:
Pay off my loan.
Not go broke.
Keep some food in the pantry.
Milk every 2nd week.
Equal length headers - this should rid the rumble anything over idle and make it sound like an angry turbo honda
Re-tune for 220-230awkw.
This forum blows for uploading pics honestly...
