Default 05 Sti

Howdy,

So i've been on here for quite a while because about 2-3years back i was looking at getting an Sti but i ended up going down the 4x4 path. Since the old man recently bought a boat the fourby never really saw the sand so thought i'd chuck it in an get something fun again.

Its done 126000km
had an exhaust, fuel pump and Ecutek tune by max motorsport about 6 months back so the drives real nice.
Yet to discover what the rims are (if any 1 knows please do tell) as i've only driven the car a few times.

All in all got a really good price on it, but that is reflected by the fact the car needs/needed some tlc.
-few scratches on door handles and pin dents on bonnet)
-replaced all 4 tyres
-oil/filter change this weekend.
-few headlight globes to be replaced
-drivers window switch decides not to work 10% of times i've used it
-1 slight fault which i'm still trying to figure out, but pretty sure the power steering pump might be on its way out. (Repetitive hard cornering causes the steering to temporarily feel like a truck) maybe a shitty hose, i dunno
-think its going to due some pads/have the rotors machined as it dances around a bit under hard braking.

other than that the car drives great, i'm looking forward to putting in the dollars and hours to get it back to the quality car it is. Although having a few small dings and dents makes it a shitload easier to park it at the shops

Tell them how much you paid and watch the bottom fall out of the market lol. I think it's pretty good condition considering the price... Paint the red lip black on the rims and it will help a lot

How much if you don't mind me asking? I sold my 06 STI last week for quite cheap but took comfort in knowing that the market was/is in a shit place.

Yeah wasn't a massive fan of the rims, seem to have a strange offset, so i'll keep my eyes peeled for 18's considering i just replaced all 4 tyres ahaha.

yeah just FYI i picked the car for $19500 still great pickup in my oppinion given the faults

I rate the colour and pattern of these, i've just never really been sold on rims with highlights in them, Especially given the Pink Sti really clashes with the red. I'd probably be chasing something in a gloss black or nice gun metal
