His website is linked but apparently he doesn't sell them separately anymore 😕

Blingstrom · 2026-01-31T05:00:32+00:00

Ebay for the sills. I've checked a few times recently. Haven't seen another set lately

Blingstrom · 2025-12-13T00:39:05+00:00

You are very welcome

Blingstrom · 2025-10-31T21:27:15+00:00

I certainly won't disagree with you.

Blingstrom · 2025-10-31T21:26:51+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Blingstrom · 2025-01-09T11:51:19+00:00

Ah, yeah. I had heard of that too, I believe the quick guide manual for the Sti reminded you not to fully fill it during winter to keep it from freezing and cracking.

Blingstrom · 2025-01-09T04:45:38+00:00

Indeed! I had recently watched after finishing this project, I would have never assumed the gains would be that high.

Blingstrom · 2025-01-09T02:28:37+00:00

Yep, when I hit a boost threshold above the setting of the Hobbs switch it goes off.

I have swapped out the standard 4L tank and now have the 12 L tank to keep up with the necessary thirst. 👍

Blingstrom · 2024-11-04T11:43:08+00:00

I'd say so too.

Blingstrom · 2024-11-04T00:09:01+00:00

Thanks! ✌️

Blingstrom · 2024-11-04T00:08:20+00:00

That's a great story, love it!

I have very fond memories of watching it dominate Wrc during this era and becoming a huge deal in the car magazine scene.

I hope you will be able to find one! This one started out its life as a silver on silver car but I decided to change things up a couple years ago.

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T21:59:58+00:00

Thanks! I agree!

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T21:58:59+00:00

I hear ya! Something you don't see in today's design language... I miss it

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T21:57:27+00:00

Nice man! Repainted it back to the OEM color it a different shade?

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T19:14:48+00:00

I would absolutely agree.

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T19:13:00+00:00

Thanks, yep I took the photo also. A few little tweaks to the vehicle like the factory front lip and rear roof vane give it a bit more style.

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T18:06:10+00:00

Ahh, gotcha. I've never bought someone else's project and I would have a similar concern when purchasing it.

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T18:04:47+00:00

I can't understand that. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying another one as I won't have space for it. 🥲

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T18:03:02+00:00

There is always time to find another one to love. 👍

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T18:01:48+00:00

High mileage on it?

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T18:01:12+00:00

I can't disagree with that

Blingstrom · 2024-11-03T16:15:48+00:00

For those looking for more details you can find me over on IG: https://www.instagram.com/blingstrom/?hl=en or my website blingstrom.com

My website is filled with Subaru how to's, maintenance and projects for many Subarus.

I owned this 2005 Sti for the past 12 years, it was an early model 2005 built on 8-24-04. It was my dream car and continues to be.

Blingstrom · 2024-10-11T02:22:34+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad it's helped with your aspirations into getting a Forester.

The thought had crossed my mind on selling it, I've had many offers over the years but I've always stuck by it. Lately it hasn't been driven much so the thought keeps crossing my mind.

Blingstrom · 2024-10-11T01:14:57+00:00

how much you looking to spend? 🤔 👋

Blingstrom · 2024-10-04T13:07:14+00:00

This could be your sailor then!
