test drove an 08 STI last night

 

I miss mine now

 

You must return back to us...

cerr, how did you like the 08? Supposedly handling has improved some over the previous years.

 

The 08 STI's are nice, but don't bother with an 08 WRX, I had way to many issues with mine. Thankfully they fixed those issues and added 41HP for the 09 WRX.

 

The 09 WRX has gotten such praise from almost every review I have read. It is not as far behind the STI as it used to be. The 2010 STI needs to be a big improvement.

A few more recent shots.

 

Not feeling the red pin striping in the grill it is distracting from the rest of the car. Paint the red horns (or what ever you see through the grill) black not sure why you would want to show case (draw attention) to them Other wise it looks good and I bet its a blast to drive.

 

She looks great, Jay. Subie would be a good choice around here with our winters.

 

Those horns are Hella Supertones, painting them would be an insult.

The pinstripes are for the look of the STI Spec-C Type RA-R. Reference below.




SwivelHips, thanks man. I love this car in the winter, especially in the snow.

 

Oh Hella supertones well no way I would paint them sorry if I would have known that......

 

nice
but drop it now

 

Suspension is the last thing on my mind right now. I have been purchasing supporting mods for my upgrade to a GT30R with meth injection.

 

hey crypten; since last time i posted last in this thread i pulled the trigger on an '08 STI. Hard to believe it's been almost 6 months; picked it up in December with the crazy year end close out deals. haven't done much to it yet, just put in some LEDs and stereo stuff. I'm planning on going stage 2 as soon as I choose my exhaust ... COBB has been lagging w/ their exhaust so I think I'll have to choose another.

 

Really? I honestly think that the WRX/STI sound better then almost any car out there. Its like a Japanese muscle car.
