MY05 Sti
Hey guys, few weeks ago bought this wrx
Ive always had mates who have had them, and i have always wanted one, so im stoked to finally get one. its pretty stock performance wise, with a 3" turbo back, stealth bov and a verso tune (262hp at all four) and it has dba5000s on the front. goes hard haha. it has plenty of potential, just my bank account doesn't haha Planned mods are properly a butterfly value/adjustable exhaust, because there are sometimes i just want it to be quite, and if i ever get it dyno'd again ill properly take the bov off also im going to re carpet the boot (its seen better days) and put a small type r sound system in, and dose anybody happen to have the stock spare tire stuff? it was challenging enough to get the spare tire, but its pretty scratched and there is no jack or tools? i want them just to keep all together. considering taking it on barbagallo, but ill need new tyers (and probably rims) before i do that ----------- March 2012 update & previous car history --------- Hello Everyone Updating my introductions/driveway thread (adding a bit of common sense which I may have previously lacked, or had been heavily influenced haha) Forgetting all the buckets I claimed as mine growing up on the Station, my first roadworthy car was a 2wd Hilux (3.0TD) Then I sold that, Bought my05 STi in Jan 2011 07' KTM 250 sxf Daily 2011 - El falcon which is hardly worth a mention, 4.0 gli. Daily Nov2011 - August 2012 Mitsubishi Canter Little trooper of a truck, sold it with 780,000kms on the original engine! Custom 3" pacemaker exhaust out the side and stupid mods, various matt black bits and bulk stickers for extra hp+! 06' KTM 250 sxf - bought in running condition, for parts for my other one because its cheaper than going thru KTM haha Daily Sept2012-March2013 NH Pajero Surprisingly fun to drive for a piece of shit, decent offroad, bought mainly to haul the bikes on a trailer (used to just chuck them on the truck) And on its way (deposit paid 03/13) my13 Amarok - with some decent bar work and some mods planned already Cant really afford it, but the little turbo 2.0 will hopefully redeem itself with its economy and realitively cheap running costs Might Splash it out with some Bar decals - got a nice clean car, might as well try and do some self promotion? The STi - Garage whore currently-get targeted way to hard it to & have since found out its blacklisted - plate change on its way Delaying the serious work i want to begin on it until I have some proper space and the tools and time to work on it, or the expensive path, when something breaks haha - I've put over 40,000kms on it with bugger-all dramas Eventually would like to aim for reliable but powerful weapon, that would come out generally on weekends/after dark, and track it a few times year. And Mods Since last update back in Febuary 2011 Alpine Sound System & custom boot Alloy Rad (koyo fatty) HD clutch Cherry Blossom Red Perth Wrx stickers (+50hp lol) New Lightened Flywheel (old one warped??) Replaced all the engine and transmission mounts and a bunch of other little bits and pieces, Over 40,000km, two sets of ku36's & about to go into maximum for a full service and new front rotors & possibly some other goodies (wallet depending - esp with the new amarok!)

Nice looking car. Just curious why you think your BOV is giving you a loss of power.
