Were you trying to install mud flaps and accidentally ripped it? :D

>>15264449
Well you should def install at least one set of HELLA™ Horns and then swap all the USDM parts for JDM ones.

White Oakleys, brah.

I wanted an STi pretty badly. So bad that I walked into a Subaru dealership and was trying to get a 2011 STi.

That shit was $38k and at the time, my finances weren't as good as they are now.

I settled for a 2011 Audi A4 Quattro instead, but a part of me still wants a STi real fucking bad.

I've wanted one for a while now. Had an 06 charger rt up until about a month ago when somebody hit me. Insurance gave me 8 grand and let me keep the car. Sold it for 7 and spend 14500 on this. I mean yeah, it has some issues, but it was the best one I could find for less than 15 in socal. Would rather have this than a new one tbhfamalam

because it is. if you have the earlier 2.5s you are probably looking forward to a gasket failure so suck it up and keep the cash on the side to fix it and enjoy your car. like i said before if you cant afford to repair your vehicle especially when you pretty well know its on the horizon just dont get a vehicle you cant afford one.

OP you mentioned you spent 15k which leads me to believe this car has 120k+ miles. Did you get from a dealer or craigslist? Reason i ask is because i'm in the market for an older STI and hear that they don't last as long as regular WRX's, what precautions did you take when checking the car out, did you take to a shop to do a full inspection and compression test?

Honestly OP that car looks awesome. I've always wanted an 04/05 STI myself, but I couldn't find any decent ones in my area so I ended up with an '08 STI instead.

An accessport might be a good next step if you haven't got one already.

Now you build a 818 Coupe (or the spyder if that's your thing)

>>15267093
>>15267093

Spot the jealous bus rider who's never owned or driven a wrx.

I've had 3 wrx from new and never misses a beat. When maintained properly and not abused beyond their intention they're an unparalleled combo of reliability, performance and good build quality for the price.

Anyone who says otherwise about subarus has fallen for a meme. A meme that has been created due to the amount of fuckwits who buy subarus and ruin them with idiotic mods, little to no maintenance and driving them like they're some bullet proof purpose built race car. Unfortunately due to their low cost and availability they attract some really awful car owners.

do subaru's use dexcool? isn't it like bad to mix that stuff with other stuff

>>15268647
They do not and should not use dex.

>>15264449
Needs a big fat Monster sticker on it. Also become a vaping stancefag and drive it into a tree.

Killing yourself and/or picking up your same sex partner.

>>15264449
You really should not be using dex as anon pointed out. Flush that shit immediately.

>>15268767
Could be for vette. My ls motors both require dex. Who knows

>>15268815
That would make sense and hopefully you are right.

Make sure to lubricate the exhaust with motor oil, adds 50 horsepower and lets everybody know your car is fast.

>>15264449
Don't start vaping and put a bigger turbo in it!

>>15264449
practice redlining in and out of 7/11 parking lots

Get rear ended and let me buy your car from your insurance company. I want a six speed. But in all honesty I guess you should replace all of your pcv and coolant hoses. Get some decent gauges. Replace bushings.

Got it from a guy in Victorville, 86000 miles, rebuilt engine. I have the receipts for everything, new block, new heads, etc. Built at outfront motors or something. Took it for a test drive, looked it over good. Guy wanted 17500 for it.

>>15267537
It was hard as fuck to find a clean, stock sti with lowish miles for a good price. Almost went with a newer model. Some valencia dealer had an 07 with 70000 miles for 24000

>>15268767
It's for the vette, just had it there for some reason
