RallySport Direct's 2015 WRX STI Build
When we first received our STI, we were hoping to build the ultimate street car with a bit more focus on track as we were willing to sacrifice comfort for more performance, but we also did not want it to be pure track. During our build, we were hit with something that would change the course of the build, and that thing was SEMA. We always wanted the STI to be in SEMA, but we were not building it for that purpose. With our car being confirmed for SEMA, we really had to change what we were doing and why we were doing it. No longer could we go to track days as we had to keep the car clean and free from damage. We primary focused on mods that would be good for a show car, but still in the back of our mind we wanted to build this car how we wanted to build it... to a degree. With the car being featured in SEAM 14 and 15, and with SEMA 16 coming up, we are trying to think of ways to make the car different and stand out once again. Join us along the way trying to get the car ready for 2016 SEMA!

From straight on the STI looks like an old forester ... just not a fan of the new design. It seems to have lost it's sports car, head turning, look.
However, I'm very interested to see what you guys do and if you can change my impression! |

You say that like it is a bad thing. Blending in and not being noticed is a wonderful thing. Especially when the cops drive by you and pull over the BMW in the left lane going slower than you are.

Twinscroll..direct injection...a pretty f****n solid motor...just to name the minimum of the basics to those that neglect the plus' for the look. Don't worry it'll grow on you. They just do that. On the sti it'll be cake to make power, great efficient power. Crazy ass spool dude I can't wait to drive a slightly modded one, just catless and a protune just to see how peppy it is. Then I'll wanna feel on ethanol. And I bet I'll be pretty f****n satisfied. All that great feeling and I'm not even thinkin bout the look anymore. Lower it, some wheels maybe (I like the lowered on stock wheel kinda look..don't know why..maybe cuz I can't afford new wheels...) mudflaps, maybe some cool lil flashy fogs bro and a short shifter and it'll feel like home, right? Sorry fer the rant. I need beer. |

Subbing to see what you all can do. Not a fan, but the older STi was the same and now I love it

No conformation yet, but we will let you know once we confirm. It appears the only issue might be with the mount to the chassis unless there is something else I am not seeing. Thanks guys!!! Rick |

So an update on the car, as I have put on about 330miles on it the last few days.
First the things that I like. Suspension and Chassis out of the box is amazing! Having had an EVO X before, I am not afraid to say that apples to apples the new STi will outrun it. The new steering rack will also make this car great for autoX! The stock interior is fantastic compared to the outgoing GR, I dont like it as much as the GD personally but its leaps and bounds ahead of the GR. Stock tires are amazing, but are a little loud. The new sound system, is very good for Subaru standards (if that means anything). Last is the look of the car, every time I part the car I cant help but turn around and look at it. Some thing the car is very plain, but that is not a bad thing as I have yet to have a single cop look at the car Things that I hate. Stock seats are terrible, I mean they are THAT BAD! Yes they look nice, but do not hold you in at all ( I am 6'4" and 230lbs). The noise tube is driving me NUTS, it makes the car sound cheap and I on purpose have the stereo loud enough so that I cant hear it. The car has a big blind spot on both sides around the rear 1/4 panels, I find myself checking them 2-3 times before I change lanes. Reverse camera is a big "small", yes its nice but I wish it was a higher quality lens that had a wider angle. That should cover basics for now , we will have more info as we get more miles on the car Kirill RallySportDirect.com |
