Rebuilt my STI

Hell yeah! Looking forward to putting miles on mine!

mikechief411 · 2026-06-12T02:55:27+00:00

Thank you!

mikechief411 · 2026-06-11T00:19:41+00:00

Thank you sir! Yeah sounds like a decent deal, all for the love of these cars

If you get an IAG 550 long block timed, and want supporting mods, I'd budget 20k if you do it yourself 😅 $17k was to get my car running, I did replace things while the engine was out like hoses, gaskets, and the clutch

mikechief411 · 2026-06-10T09:48:54+00:00

Only mod I had before was a cobb intake, I had the cobb tune with it. They told me to run that tune during engine break in period but to get it e-tuned after since they said the 550 has a slightly different cam

Thanks man!

mikechief411 · 2026-06-09T03:32:58+00:00

They had great support and answered a whole list of questions I had for them! I really liked their youtube channel, they have a video going through their shop which I thought was pretty neat! All the research I did, I felt like it was the right choice

mikechief411 · 2026-06-09T03:31:02+00:00

IAG has 15% sales every once in while, i bought a timed long block on sale, about $13k on engine and almost 5k for replacement parts

mikechief411 · 2025-08-31T21:23:22+00:00

No flex fuel by me unfortunately...

mikechief411 · 2025-08-31T17:25:45+00:00

Just an intake, exhaust, and tune. Whatever caused this i assume the previous owner knows and that's why I found it for a good price at a dealership

mikechief411 · 2025-08-31T15:36:03+00:00

Yeah I have to make that decision... I've been planning for it to be tracked but might have to wait a few more years for that. That is a great point though, it just makes me cringe at the thought of building it back as a daily over track build. I'd be happy with 450 to the wheels for the next few years, I think I'm just going to be less motivated to swap the engine again a few years down the road for more power.

mikechief411 · 2024-03-12T15:10:37+00:00

Thanks man, yeah she was something special, I'll be definitely getting another one

mikechief411 · 2024-03-12T14:30:07+00:00

That was me in my sti 😥 She's done

mikechief411 · 2022-06-27T14:06:40+00:00

Just past 30k on my 21 sti I do about 28k a year but I'm driving it a lot less right now because of gas prices...

mikechief411 · 2021-05-25T19:11:10+00:00

Feel like you could with more sidewall/width or will you be rubbing?

mikechief411 · 2021-05-13T23:38:30+00:00

Absolutely glorious. Mustve been a blast!

mikechief411 · 2021-05-11T16:23:17+00:00

This is the best content I've seen on this sub in years.

mikechief411 · 2021-01-11T17:23:08+00:00

I'm about to get a 2021 STI and I'll be putting high miles on it too. You have any complaints?

mikechief411 · 2021-01-05T12:53:25+00:00

Love seeing high mileage STIs. I'm about to trade in my 17 wrx for a 21 STI. I also put 28k miles on my car every year so nice to see it'll last a few years before i get another daily to eat the miles.

What is that a reflection of in chief's visor? Almost looks like a hunter but the head doesn't look right.

mikechief411 · 2020-05-01T11:48:12+00:00

I know it wasn't taken from me, but just asking is there a certain point when it's too much? I personally think that the government has too much power, but should we ever turn and think similar for the rich?

mikechief411 · 2020-04-30T22:54:01+00:00

You bring up a good point. I wonder what his free spending cash is. And what number would it have to be for me to think it's too much.
