freinds sti the modding begins
Long story short the kid waited 2 months to get the car and when working on it I found some things that he needs to take back to the dealer and have them address. Anyway It's an 05 sti blue but not factory blue its a lil bit lighter, paid 18k for it with like 30k on the odometer.
things put on
full tb exhaust
front mount
cobb tuning intake kit
still to put on
up pipe
bigger injectors
fp super 20g
boost controller
not sure on brands off the top of my head but he should pipe in to say what they are. got him to sign up for the dyno day to see what we're looking at for the things we added so far.
here is a few pics took about 3-4 hours to put it all in with trimming the bumper and such. take some more later with the bumper on, the core sits really well in the opening. Yes that's a crappy BOV but he's changing that out real soon.

Re: freinds sti the modding begins
he wants to get the alky but wants to get a few other things first like susp. and such. but he will get it cause he says he doesn't want alot of power but he's lying to himself.

My buddy has got one of these he's starting to put parts on. Very nice and they have a great exhaust note. Nice car!

Re: freinds sti the modding begins
What's wrong with it? That's way too cheap for an STI.

Re: freinds sti the modding begins
he had major issues with the guy and ended up having him take 2k off the price of the car for all the headache he got put through. plus the guy is now paying for a new gas tank, looks like someone tried to jack the car up with it.

Re: freinds sti the modding begins
