Since its clear there arent quite that many 2011 owners ... Ive seen reviews claiming the 2011 sti took an evolution towardsnusing parts from the spec C, is that true? Likewise, would you all say the hype is true and the 2011 actually improved from the '10 model? Thanks, just looking for model specific info beyond whats found in the manifesto.

Gauges Tires Im currently waiting on ARK to make their CBE, should be finishing up in September. If i dont like the tone it produces ill go with the Blitz Nur Spec R and i have yet to decided on the DP. Im going to pair that piping with the Invidia ELH. All piping will be ceramic coated and once installed ill drive up to Cobb and get tuned. Last edited by shaggydog; 08-18-2011 at 11:20 PM. |

NEVER dump the clutch and if you do don't expect to get anywhere quickly. Personal experience

Whatcha guys think about paint-matched front lips for our cars?
I've seen 04-07's with them. I kinda like them. I also kinda like the obvious front lip look with them being carbon fiber or black. |

The only downside to a painted lip that i can think of would be it chipping. Ive only had my lip for a few weeks and its already taken a pounding. For what its worth, i left mine black. |

I'm assuming slip means gradualy letting off untill it engages, as opposed to dumping?

I wouldn't slip it too much, you'll roast it with the rpms up there. As he said 4-5k is good, and let off the clutch quickly without completely dumping it if that makes sense

Right! You want to avoid just abruptly releasing the clutch, also referred to as "side-stepping" it.

Thanks, I look forward to trying this next spring. One of my dunlops blew out recently and I had to throw some new blizzaks on early. Has anyone had any luck getting one of these new tires warranty replaced?
Also my SPT boost gauge just started flickering last night... |

Not for the car, but the stock Dunlops come with their own warranty. |

if they fail from a defect, not if you just got a flat tire from road debris
