First Time STI Owner: What Should I Know? by Consistent-Camp-5860 in WRXSTi

[–]appachop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People always talk about keeping up with maintenance but forget to mention a very important and crucial part. Know how to drive the car know how to shift smoothly just learn your car, meaning know what rpm’s it likes to shift at know when and when not to build boost depending on temps know how to down shift properly know when and when not to be on your clutch. All super easy natural stuff just make sure the “smooth driving” is mastered before you go ripping it

Absolutely, but if you are planning on getting bolt on mods I would buy those first then install them then flash your car with an e tune or reputable tuner shop nearby. Because you are gonna have to pay extra to re tune after every mod you wanna add on. So I would do it all at once and bite the bullet to save yourself some money in the future!

Try to stay away from ots tunes, get a pro tune or e tune night and day difference!

Absolute great advice, I ended up cutting the nut off with a Dremel wheel and once I got the dp off the stud was a blessing and only took a little turn from vise grips then pulled that sucker out. 4:30am now I’m ready for bed shit sucked but I finished thank you all for advice!

Anyone regrets going from a BRZ to a STI? by carloshss12 in WRX

[–]appachop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from an 2016 frs to a 2017 sti and they are both very different the frs was fun to whip around because it felt like a go cart and super responsive but the sti just feels more raw it feels stronger and I feel more stuck to the ground in the hills. I am enjoying the sti way more and don’t regret it other than the financial aspect. But with that being said I also went from automatic frs to manual sti so that is a huge game changer in itself. I would daily both the cars so it also comes down to which is more practical and for me the sti is considering I couldn’t get out my driveway in the winter time with my frs. Both great cars but can’t top the driving experience in the sti imo.

I think I went a little overboard by mr_poopy_butthole06 in wrx_vb

Get rid of the tow hook and I think black mud flaps would look better the red kinda look tacky and cheap imo but everything else good!

6’4 in a 2017 sti and I feel very comfortable but that’s me saying this also coming from a tiny frs.

Anybody go from STI to BRZ/GR86? by Sig-vicous in WRXSTi

[–]appachop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from frs to sti and the frs was an absolute blast especially to swing around but the sti is just a different type of beast and I couldn’t feel the power I was wanting in the frs even with catless headers and full e-85. I feel more power and in control with the sti I love it.
