out with the old, in with the sti

silbugeye · 10-13-2012, 09:16 AM

Had an 03 wrx and have been contemplating building it for couple years and yesterday went out and bought an 05 sti 100% bone stock. Now that I have a stronger platform I can start my build

congrats.

I remember when I traded in my old 02 wrx for a new STI at that time.
I felt like a little kid on christmas day.

Im on the same boat,love my bugeye but want a Sti debating on building the bugeye or just go with the Sti.

Trade your wrx for an sti. It is completely worth the cost. I'll post some pics soon, busy all weekend.
For now going to do a basic bolt on e85 tune and come summer putting fp red with e85 on since I already have everything for it other than a built motor.

Take it to a shop first and foremost and get a leak down and compression done so u know what ur dealing with. Don't want to start adding power and parts to a hurt motor

silbugeye · 10-14-2012, 12:14 PM

I gotta get used to driving it before I throw power at it though. It's pretty different than the wrx well I think so

Slimsti · 10-14-2012, 12:33 PM

Oh yeah the tranny alone is like night and day.
