My 2005 WRX STi - 6/28/2016 dyno tune update 429 AWHP/377 AWTQ on 93 octane



Re: My 2005 WRX STi - SOFA KING JDM

I like that blue.

I see dust on the gauge pod...you better get on that.

Oh BTW, I may have RPF1's sooner or later.

Im not usually a big fan of Subarus... but there are a few that are nice and look great. This is one of them, nice ride.

Your title reminds me of a story from work though. This older guy comes in with his Subaru and it's a newer one and somehow through ordering parts I mentioned Asian vehicles, and he goes what are you talkin about?
I said, I was just saying how blah blah blah asian cars.

So he gets all pissed off and starts explaining to me how he hates japs and chinks and they should all burn, and he'd take a bullet in the brain before he drove one of their garbage bolt buckets, and that he was absolutely certain that Subaru was made in Germany with Volkswagens, and they're a very high quality vehicle. I tried to tell him Subaru is an asian manufacturer.. and he stormed out of the store, didnt even want his parts.

2 weeks later I see him driving by, not in a Subaru but driving a BMW, lol.

Thank you!

And to that story, that's just weird haha. Mostly people think Subarus are from Australia, never heard Germany before!

STB would look good that blue color as well

It probably would, but it's one of those JDM pieces that you don't see a lot of over here, so it would be "wrong" to paint it. Once I pick up the metal radiator and belt shrouds those will get color matched to the same blue though.

RPF1's are so played out, don't do it!


/sarcasm


I don't care how overdone they are, I like them! They would look pretty sweet on the Saab but I really like the wheels you have as well.

I only want the wheels for weight savings. The Current wheels weigh in at 23.5lbs, the Rp's would be 18 and change.

I also want your two rotors...I wish they made 2 piece rotors for my car.

Re: My 2005 WRX STi - SOFA KING JDM

So I figured I'd pop in and give you guys an update over here. I never posted pictures after finishing the center caps and getting the Brembo logos for the calipers. I like the way it turned out.

So yeah, that's what she looks like. Oh by the way I either blew the head gaskets or stretched the head bolts and am doing a pretty big build over the winter/spring. Should be fun.

Semi big build :)

Big money build lol. The power won't be anything special but the reliability and quality of the build will be better than 90% of what's out there. Good thing we have the mad scientist on our side.

Which has me decided on no meth and a header and rails instead :p
Click to expand...

Meth is safer. And if you want rails talk to Eric, he might be stocking some soon. I was going to have him get mine with all the other stuff he's sourcing for me but I found an awesome deal on a set on nasioc so I snatched them up. You'll definitely want rails though, even fuel distribution is nice.

If you go EL we can't be friends.
 
Re: My 2005 WRX STi - Happy hour special! Low coolant with a splash of oil!

Kyle...You really think I would go EL???



What kind of fagtoid retard do you take me for?



I have to find out if the aeromotive top feed rails will in fact fit my engine. Aeromotive lists them as 02-07..But rally sport and everywhere else says 02-14...


So I'll call aero tomorrow and see what they say. Me and Eric think we can fit them with little modification. Luckily, the injectors are straight plug and play.

If the aero's don't fit, then Nick is checking on a set of cosworths.

Just making sure! I'm not doing a header for now only because I'm also staying UEL so the gains would be minimal, and we're porting my stock manifolds, doing the GS crossover, and al alreay have the EWG GS UP so it will flow just fine. Doesn't Perrin make a top feed rail too?
 


Re: My 2005 WRX STi - Happy hour special! Low coolant with a splash of oil!

Eric and me both agreed against a perrin rail...

Especially after aamir's car...


It is a ****ty setup and he will never install one on another car.

Hmmm, I could do an ewg I guess....
 
Re: My 2005 WRX STi - Happy hour special! Low coolant with a splash of oil!

1) equal length headered cars still sound good and still have a rumble...they just make more power. point invalid.

2) every subaru motor blows up, regardless of how they are treated. the motors suck.

3) please for the love of god pipe the EWG back into the exhaust.
 
Re: My 2005 WRX STi - Happy hour special! Low coolant with a splash of oil!

they cover up all the other cool sounds the car could be making.
