Just bought myself a 2005 STI and I’m tackling some similar things as I dig into my car more and more. Love the channel it’s comforting to know I’m not alone.

[@RoadPatina]

Congrats on the STI! I appreciate those words and thanks for watching. The list is growing and we have to tackle one thing at a time. Good luck and enjoy the process!

[@TheTarmacDaddy]

@@RoadPatinaI honestly considered putting some of my content and findings on KZbin as well. But your channel is the right amount of detail…way better than what I would have done. And yes I’m a HUGE Enkei RCT4 fan…I had bought a brand new old stock set years ago. Sold them sadly.

[@RoadPatina]

@@TheTarmacDaddy much appreciated!

[@Villajesse]

RTC4 are also my all time favorite wheel. Just ever been lucky to own a set. Just because of those wheels you got a follow.

[@RoadPatina]

Great taste my friend!

[@frias2287]

Nice one bro 👍 💪 🤝 💯

[@andrewlee88]

Rc-t4 was one of my fave wheels also. Gold

[@RoadPatina]

Great minds!

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

I have a po302 I'm troubleshooting all the steps. Did plug and coil swap. Now need to do injector swap then compression and leakdown test

[@RoadPatina]

Step by step!

[@rj6013]

had the same start up noise on mine ended up being my starter. It would stick and make that noise.

[@RoadPatina]

Really? Much better scenario than oil starvation I thought it could be!

[@Mattojumala]

Blinking dccd light. Maybe something to do with oil leaking from transmission? Is dccd working okay? Great stuff, love to watch your videos as they are very easy to understand and fun to watch.

[@RoadPatina]

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out. DCCD is not functional currently.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Decent headway considering your initial quote 😬 That sound on start could be starter related. Easy to pull out and bench test it at least

[@RoadPatina]

Sounded like it had no oil for a sec! That scared me considering I am trying to stay low budget. We know how that will end!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

@@RoadPatina ohhhh yaaaaa 😂

[@joecam7109]

Most of that is just labor costs, if you just count the parts then it’s not anywhere near as expensive if you do the labor yourself. I own a 06 STi and i have gradually done almost all of those, except for my steering rack. It’s an old car by now so most of those problems you would find in almost any old car, it’s all basically leaks. As far as those "standard features” you are a lucky man…cause the "headgasket feature” is a naturally aspirated EJ25 feature, turbo EJ’s do not have that problem because they come with Multilayered Steel gaskets from factory as opposed to the N/A models which use defective composite paper thin gasket and always end up leaking. Now, i have heard of some people having misfire problems but I’ve never had those so i wouldn’t know. Maintenance and fixing problems quickly is the key.

[@RoadPatina]

I agree! Any car this old will have leaks and need work. Many people think they last forever without proper care. The labor rate in my area is $150-$200 per hour! Good thing my labor ain’t worth much.

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

Same in Ct

[@Vivianauxito]

Good video Brandon, we produce LEDs for auto and we’d love to collaborate with you on a product review. We have reached out to you via email, hope we could carry out something together
