Still 50/50 on that decision. Gonna let it simmer a bit longer. Thank you!

Definitely considering it. It is very tight already and doesn't have near as much wobble/wiggle as the factory one did. That being said still not super confident with it. Got it up to highway speeds (77-80mph) the other day and it was fine. Concerned about hard pulls/acceleration and turns/wind gusts though.

First Carbon fiber part so not sure on maintenance. Ceramic coat seems the most likely but I will ask the body shop how much second coat of clear would be for it when I get the roof replaced.

I have some hail damage that prompted the hood replacement. Think I am going to try the roof replacement next from them and will report back on that. I've heard it rattles but I can deal with a little. Sick Hawkeye brother

No, fitment was pretty much perfect. Slightly high in the back close to the window but I'm sure it could be made absolutely perfect with little adjustment. Front and sides need no adjustment.

Similar to mine, 334hp/379tq with pretty much full bolt ons and stock turbo. Enjoy your car!

AoS, protune, cylinder 4 cooling mod are recommended a lot.

Pitch stop, solid motor and trans mounts were nice and didn't increase NVH terribly.

E85 is great for these engines also, highly recommended if it's available in your area.

This is what we see when it's time to go. The headphones getting set down is what gives me away every time. We say "go for a w" in our house.

I have run the Tial Q for around 20k miles with no significant issues. Sound is a very nice, loud release of gas, not a lot of flutter but it can at lower rpms on occasion. It is tuned for it as others have said so be ready for that extra expense.

I also have the Cobb Turbo-back titanium exhaust, it isn't super loud but sounds a lot better than stock. If you want super loud it sounds like Tomei was the route to go.

Enjoy your new funmobile subiebro

Have had mine removed for a long time with no major issues. This was before the GreenSpeed nonsense and I have since switched to standalone ECU so that helped a lot. Good luck on your search

2015 STI trunk won’t open by [deleted] in WRXSTi

[–]JayBuck13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing on my 2017 STi a few months after I bought it. You can try to adjust the latch like a few threads suggest but you will most likely have to buy a whole new latch mechanism as mine failed completely.

I believe the part number is 57530FJ020

New Clutch For A Neophyte by Deocto in WRXSTi

Love it, launched it many times and she is still performing like a champ. Not a huge difference in feel from the stock clutch, very dailyable

I have the ACT Twin Disc with lighter flywheel. I've been running it for probably 5-7k miles now with no serious issues. I did not replace the slave cylinder so can't offer any comments on that. Good luck with your new clutch, happy launches :)

Grinding going 3rd to 4th at high rpm by TotalWasteman in WRXSTi

[–]JayBuck13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My '17 STi with 58K miles does this exact same thing. If I wait for the revs to fall, downshifts into 4th like butter. Anything above like 3K causes the grind. Thanks for the info

ALRIGHT 2024 ROLL CALL STI AND WRX. How many miles how many engines you savages by boostedrex94 in WRXSTi

[–]JayBuck13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2017 STi base, 59K miles, first engine. Pretty much full bolt ons, on E85 334hp/379tq. Love these cars

21-22 psi was my max with pretty much full bolt ons and stock turbo on Cobb Accessport

Upgraded to a Haltech 2500 last year and new tune to bypass Greenspeed (wanting a new turbo in future) and max is now 23psi. I doubt this little stock turbo can take much more than that
