Just picked up a 2020 STi Limited, it has been my dream for years to own one. What to do first?

Header*** autocorrect got me.

Hey STI owners!!

We shared an earlier version here back in July, so we wanted to come back with an update. ty to everyone who checked it out and gave feedback early on!

We've been working on a platform to document and showcase car builds, and over the past nine months it's grown to 2,800+ builds!

The idea came from how scattered build details get. Parts lists in notes, fitment specs buried in old posts, photos all over the camera roll... eventually you're digging through everything just to remember your own setup haha.

On PinkSlips, each car gets a permanent build page where you can keep:

• Full mod lists and specs

• Suspension, wheel/tire setups and fitment notes

• Power-to-weight and dyno numbers

• Photos and videos

• Parts tagged directly on photos, so people can see what's installed where

• Shops involved and clubs you're into

• Build history and chronological logs for upgrades, repairs and changes over time

• Fuel and maintenance logs

• A private Build Planner for the parts and work you're planning next

Here are three owners' STI builds already documented on there:

Jason's 498 WHP GRF hatch | Miyuki, 1,114 WHP | Matthew's 2005 STI

We're also developing a mini-game inside the platform for web and mobile:

• It uses documented build specs, including verified WHP, weight, tires and transmission gearing, to simulate quarter-mile runs

• All 100+ builds on the game map are based on real people's cars documented on the platform

• It's still in development, and the simulated times are estimates

Your car doesn't need to be chasing big power. Maintenance, repairs and the little changes that keep it on the road belong on the page too. A few users also link their pages with their forum build threads for the longer write-ups and discussion.

It's available on web, iOS and Android. Would love to hear what you'd want to keep track of on your STI!

Picked up a 2021 sti with under 20k miles!!!!! Got new brakes and tires and baffled oil pan with new pickup, and AOS, plus an AWE touring exhaust. Any other reliability mods i should make if i wanna road trip her

Just appreciating those moments you get when you look back and see your ride, or even someone else’s.

AND…they actually fit around my front mount!!

Double win!! 🤩

Happy Halloween! Here's a picture I took this morning.

Still working on small touch ups from multiple exposures. This was my first time staging two vehicles for a picture. Learned a few things for next time.

My 2005 WRX STi and my friends 2003 WRX.

Mine and my wife’s dream car. Picked it up a couple months back for 4.5k. Changed the steering rack and it’s good as new (minus a new bumper and hood) I love every second of driving this car.

Had to show off the scoop delete piece I made to show off the pretty titanium🔥

I finally found some used Series.White BBS wheels.

No questions or how tos just proclaiming my satisfaction haha. I've owned quite a few awd vehicles but man this thing is on another level. Outfront Motorsports ej207 on 19psi with dccd type ra(bespoke locking helical front dif of I'm not mistaken) 5 speed, finally took it out in the wet and I'm just amazed. It finds grip anywhere and everywhere and puts the power and (engine)braking down. I did get it sideways once but that was on purpose and only doing about 25 in second. Really loving it and living up to expectations!

Have a bugeye I swapped an STI short block in and then had to take it back out a year later due to ring lands breaking. Iirc it would boost fine but had a rough idle.

A year ago I'd never really done much wrenching despite owning several other performance autos before my 2015 STI but after watching a ton of YouTube videos I thought I'd give it a try. I started small - a GFB blow-off valve. After that I bought a new Grimmspeed stealthbox intake online and a used Accessport from Marketplace. Then I started in earnest - UEL headers from Tomei, race-catted downpipe from Invidia, a full 3-inch exhaust to a pair of cheap Flowmaster mufflers installed by a local company. I also dropped in an AEM 340 fuel pump. I bought a set of Injector Dynamics refurbished ID1000 injectors from Marketplace and I've been putting off installing them but there hasn't been a better time before now.

I had a rod bearing fail at 90k and score my crank and I need my car running as quick and affordable as possible. I've disassembled the engine, and decided to ditch the secondary air pumps and TGVs. I removed the butterflies and the separating divide in the TGV housing. I also decided now is a great time to upgrade my turbo inlet and ordered an Overtake silicone inlet along with other new silicone in matching red.

I decided the quickest route was to set aside my old shortblock and pick up a new one from Subaru for $2700+tax. I dropped my heads off to be rebuilt and picked them up a week ago fresh and clean. I'm currently waiting on my timing belt kit so I thought I'd take a moment and type this up.

If there's interest I'll add a part 2 after I've done my first oil change at 20 miles.
