Thanks for watching! Subaru Sambar kei van episode is coming soon for the JDM fanatics :D Also be sure to visit epicvin.com/​ today for complete vehicle history reports on your next used vehicle!

I have a aspen white 2006 sti making 650 wheel on E85 I live in California let me know if you want to review it My Instagram is Ketojavi

[@sfricke33]

This my build to the T aside from front mount, I run a Process West Verticooler, but the same FP Ble xona rotor, same ID1300 cc injectors, same fuel pump, built motor from IAG, built heads. But my car is the 08 WRX still with the 5 speed. Making 417whp/410 torque at only 19.5 psi of boost I also live in the pacific northwest. Let me know if you want to collab!

I also have a 2011 STI sedan. I never got the hate with this look, I LOVE it. Anyways, I have a full turboback, intake, accessport ots stage 2+ tune, plus other handling and braking mods. Next month I'm doing the fuel system, TGV delete and flexfuel with a pro tune from P&L motorsports up here in Chicago and I'm super stoked. I want my daily to get to Chris' eventually but for now, I'll settle with what I have. This car is fucking amazing! I've watched this video about 5 times now.

This is my favorite generation of STI, that’s why I bought one, also in spark silver metallic

[@johnrosciolo8640]

Anything to look out for? Picking one up this week.

[@trashedsti7869]

@@johnrosciolo8640 usual Subaru things, if it’s at 100k it needs a timing belt and water pump, while the timing is apart may as well do headgaskets and valve cover gaskets. (Little secret, if you go in and retorque the head bolts every 40k miles, you’ll never need to replace headgaskets again) also this generation has an open lawsuit for piston rings so if the car is below 100k miles, stock, or newer than 10 years, it falls under extended warranty, also I highly recommend deleting TGV motors and Secondary air injection. Will save a lot of maintenance down the road and make a little easy power. Also just note that turbo subarus walk a fine line between “normal Subaru engine noise” and “needs a rebuild”

[@johnrosciolo8640]

@@trashedsti7869 it has a fresh Longblock with 500 miles on it, new heads, new clutch, tons of new goodies on it, I had a 04 and after 3 shortblocks I had enough lol

Great build! I have a 19 STI and def want to do some upgrades. Glad to hear him say he never had issues with bolt ons, I'm considering running them. IDK if this is just me, but some people have external waste gates on their STI's that sound like something is loose and it sounds awful in my opinion. This build is done right, awesome!

External wastegates and hks bov sound like absolute shit. Don't understand why so many people put them on

[@SqubaSquid]

Update on my last comment from 10 months ago... The new motor parts are....The GDT 4 cylinder cooling mod, IAG comp series AOS, ceramic coated Tomei Eul headers, ceramic coated P&L Motorsports uppipe w/ Turbosmart 40mm EWG, P&L Motorsports top feed fuel rail conversion w/ TGV deletes. Injector dynamics 1050x injectors, AEM E85 340 lph fuel pump, cobb flex sensor, Aeromotive fpr, Grimmspeed ebcs, Perrin TMIC, and ngk plugs. New Exedy stage 1 HD clutch w a new OEM flywheel put together with an E85 tune by P&L motorsports. My car now makes 350whp on 60% E85. Torque value couldn't be taken but I know it's higher than 350 because my first drive after picking it up from tuning, surprised the crap out of me. With all of the the new mods, the thing that scared me most about running E85 was the super quick turbo spool. The awd wheelspin when traction isn' the best. That paired with also having an EWG. Every wot top rev shift a big pop out of the single exit Tomei. Long story short, I laughed like Marcus @ 12:21 Awesome feeling

[@SqubaSquid]

Car is still running strong. Coilovers inc, then RPF1s...maybe Cusco lower control arms...

[@SqubaSquid]

Current update. Stock radiator started failing at the top side where it's plastic. Which happens at ~115k miles. The old radiator looks beat to hell. I have a Koyorad coming in to replace that along with silicone hoses. Keeping it going for another month or so before I completely rebuild. Subie motors defintely are reliable, if the owner takes care of it. Update to come in another few months.

[@SqubaSquid]

Update... My car should be ready for pickup and break in, in about 3 weeks. Once it's broken in and tuned, I'll share my video but this one was always my goal. I loved this videos back then and is still a goal today.

i had a built 02 wrx with a 07 sti transmission making around 450whp, and it was super fun to drive, after about 10 years of fun and headaches finally sold it and got a 2017 sti, which went as far as fbo e85, but at the end of the day i ended up getting my dream car a 2014 R35 and its not just for the power but the reliability behind it, not matter how much maintenance you do to the subaru platform its just not reliable, especially for my type of driving, one day i'll get another manual car and i was hoping the new sti would be that car, but the new style got pretty ugly

[@1theheightofparadise]

time to buy a new daily and plan a build for my wrx

[@CarterFromThe7]

Well worth it if done right. Start small, then hammer out mods that require a tune and when this is done.. Get the tune immediately. People neglect quality tunes on these cars but when done right they make a good platform. I own a 12’ Wrx with a 6 speed sti swapped tranny, forged internals, stock turbo and a ton of other bolt ons, but I’m at the perfect point to go e85 like this with maybe bigger injectors and turbo and I’m there. If you have the monies anything is possible
