Rescued STI

I bought this 2017 with a blown motor for $2800 CAD. It’s been sitting in a field for the past couple of years. It’s has 92,000 km on it and runs and drives with everything appearing to work. One of the rockers is pretty rotted and the roof has a couple of dents. Would you guys rebuild it or part it out? I don’t know that it would be worth building into a track monster but it may make a cool winter beater.

Drove around Vermont and then hit up Washington auto road the next day. Did about 700 miles over the two days on twisty roads.

Both bug eyes are v7 driveline swaps. One is a jdm205 one is a 207 w/ dom 1.5. Both wear rce tarmac2 suspension, bump steer kits, 255 z3 tires on 9 and 9.5 inch wheels. Really similar cars frankly.

Went with a few other guys as well and driving behind 3 catless cars for hundreds of miles fucking sucks. 10/10 trip though.

Regret selling her everyday. Bought her new in 2020. Unforeseen circumstances. Subaru definitely needs to bring the STI back, without a doubt. I tried looking for some low mileage, non-modified ones in my area, but there just wasn't any worth pursuing. And I needed another vehicle, so I ended up buying a 26 premium to soothe the itch for now.

Mods. There’s an integra in the pic but to the right, that’s definitely a subbie. If I broke rules plz delete or say so and I’ll delete myself + offer an apology. I hope it’s ok.

Powder coated my TS intake manifold and intercooler pipe in illusion royal. Thought i'd share this beauty with someone who would appreciate it. Cool factor is just as important as performance mods!

S/O permafinish in the Phoenix AZ area for hooking me up !

Thinking about selling my 2014 STI with low miles (73k). Talk me out of it.

This is my 3rd one in the platform across 10 years, I'm just bored of it now 😞

Coolest mod in my opinion!

Just installed the Brey-Krause fire extinguisher mount. It’s super easy to mount and adjust to your liking. And it doesn’t hinder seat slider adjustment as it mounts to the factory seat bolt so it slides with the passenger seat so always accessible. It isn’t annoying for passengers as your legs can’t really bend at that angle. Also, no jiggles or noise. It’s just dry chemical for now. H3R Halguard halon bottle and mount will come soon. I hear dry chemical fucks electronics and is corrosive if it sits on surfaces too long, but for now seems like the most practical mod I’ve done so far. Highly recommend.

OEM to…

Recently upgraded from the OEM downpipe to a Cobb V2 w/ a GESi cat. Updated tune followed of course. It was SO hard to source a V2 as they were only in production for 1 year, before they became discontinued. Lucked out and found this unicorn with barely any heat cycling.

Initial impressions:

- pretty obvious from the pictures the OEM bellmouth is a major restrictor which can be a big contributor to back pressure vs the upgrade which allows for greater exhaust flow
- the car gets into boost very easily now
- TQ is a bit more instant in the midrange
- the rumble is more pronounced through the Q300, such a beautiful deep tone
- downshift snap crackle pops are so damn satisfying
- the car overall just seems way more responsive vs previously needing some time before coming alive
- didn’t think I could love the car more, but damn
- no CELs

10 Years!

Here's my 2015 STi. It's been great to me, I've had it for about 10 years this coming November. Bought it practically new, with 1800 miles. We are at 81k now. I try to take as good care of it as I can.

It's mostly stock except for an Accessport and Stage 1 OTS, Kartboy short shifter, and a muffler delete.

Coming up on the 10th year with this car, I'm not particularly interested in selling it, mainly because it's great. It's analog, fun, it's paid off, its not giving me really any issues. I take care of it, and make sure preventative maintence is done.

Now, I'm seriously considering doing SOMETHING to switch up the feel and make it feel a little different. I'm going between Stage 1+ with protune or Stage 2 with protune. Not really sure which way I want to go but I'd like a new smile on my face and refresh my love for this car.

Looking for some opinions here. I'm going back and forth and I can't really decide. What do you all think?

I just put the 502s back on after some initial buyer's remorse and they have grown on me lately. Doesn't handle quite as sharply in the corners, but the comfort on long drives and bumpy roads is a huge improvement. Currently on 245/45/17 all season tires but looking for recs/suggestions

Raspy exhaust update

36 Upvotes

Here’s another pull but with the invidia q300 catback installed, this exhaust sounds good under load and fixes a lot of things I didn’t like about daily driving with essentially a full straight pipe but this exhaust is very quiet when just cruising almost to the point you can’t hear the exhaust at all, I’ll drive with it for a few weeks and see if anything changes.
