Subaru WRX STI, why you shouldn't buy one...

[@williamsportwrestler]

These are my opinions, let me know in the comments what you think even if you disagree with me. Thanks for watching!

[@GuilleSanchez.answers]

I buy cars because I enjoy driving them and I couldn't care less what other buyers do. I enjoy the rumble and the feeling that the car gives you in return while you drive it. It is my daily. Although the EVO might be faster and better on a track, the driving that I do is so special in the STI that I would never change it nor just for an EVO, that Mitsu already put to rest, but neither for the numb Type-R or the discontinued Focus RS or the quality interior Golf R. My STI has the unique 𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 boxer engine sound, manual transmission, best all-wheel-drive systems available in the class, hydraulic steering, Brembo brakes, great suspension, enough quality interior, a good enough price that makes me feel so happy to own it.

[@alanarzate93]

Honestly I driven both evo and sti you can't go wrong with either one they both fast and fun as for which one is "better" that just comes down to personal preference

[@igorushka]

Air oil separator was your solution for ring-land.

[@tjlovesrachel]

Igor Semenets ehhhhh....why is that?

[@tm2709]

Just because someone vapes, that doesn't mean anything. I owned a 700hp turbo s2000 at one point, and vaped. I keep to myself. I don't even go to meets. don't blanket with that. I also used to run a business within that industry, so I'm accustomed to not rubbing it in people's faces, talking about it all the time, etc. I don't really care. like I said, I keep to myself in that aspect. it's people like you that are spreading the negative stereotypes by reinforcing it like that. brought that on yourself. I told myself I'd never own a Subaru. I bought a 03 forester as a daily. fell in love with it. ended up with an 04 wrx. Can't complain with it. it's bone stock. absolutely nothing done. will I be working on it? yes. do I shove my personal interests down people's throat? no.

[@williamsportwrestler]

+Taylor Meeker Thanks for watching man! You make very valid points. At this point I think I may have to go back and revisit this topic. Most of the people that annoy me are probably in their early 20s. Its these younger guys/gals that give a negative image to the rest.

[@seansantos2738]

Same as Taylor, I plan to keep my STI stock for a long time and it's not just because I wish I didn't have to keep it stock out of ringland fear. And btw Taylor, when you say bone stock, does it mean zero issues throughout the car's life? If yes, that's reassuringly awesome! In my opinion, modifying should be more purposeful rather than statement or credit conscious as the rest of the crowd. I can relate to Dream Big, however, about how much of these factors have affected the vape/Subibro stigma. I guess to have a car such as but not just the STI entails a responsibility to promote a more mature community by how you use it on the streets. That bit about your race challenge with the toddler in the backseat was scary.

[@thilan4915]

Well the dislike to like ratio is 1:1 guess us fanboys still want to buy it :),but ty for the info though.

[@nickrobison1108]

I live in Washington state also! I agreed there are a ton of wrx and also Hondas here. But in the Midwest there aren't near as many.

[@williamsportwrestler]

+Nick Robison Agreed! Thank you for watching!

[@Lastsight100]

Yeah I'm looking for a car and the big 3 I'm contemplating are an Evo X, Type R (I've wanted one since I was 15) and an STI (the ringland issue is honestly terrifying to me). Since looking at the STI more I've noticed a shit ton of them in WA, I myself drive a 2016 Forester XT Touring and I see them everywhere now lol. WA is totally Subaru country.

[@thomaswebb626]

Here in Aus barely anyone vapes so vapnation subarus are rare asf But both JDM evos and subies are really common

[@vangxa04]

I like how you say " You have done a lot to your car to beat my car" ....lol

[@jdm5214]

What cars are you talking about your stupid ass StI i bet my brother is Evo would smoke that shit

[@daryndrew5551]

JDM TUNER dude my cousins aunties sisters nephews daughter in laws boyfriends evo would smoke you

[@BookofJob3XVII]

Reliability issues and responds poorly to mods is why I got rid of my wrx. I love to pick up a STI but I’m not gonna spend $4 grand for a new engine or rebuild one after 50k miles.

[@Terminator4000]

Kamaro3XVII responds poorly to mods because you didnt mod it properly. Trying to attain boost off a stock engine (especially in a subaru) in most manufactured cars is not going to make a reliable car. Dude your comment is quite dull.

[@RafaelRamirez-pw5bf]

Dont know if you mentioned it but the amount of hp you gain from mods on sti's is sad it takes so much money to have a fast Subaru not to mention it jus adds on to the ring problem 🤦🏽‍♂️ you literately have to be built to even get decent numbers from what ive seen

[@williamsportwrestler]

Great point, I should have brought that up as well. It costs about half as much to build a 600HP Evo as it does to build a 600hp STI. Maybe I'll use that point in a later video. Thanks for watching!

[@RafaelRamirez-pw5bf]

Dream Big Love the vids man own a Evo 9 my self SSL Package.. Your evo caught my attention what cams you running ?

[@williamsportwrestler]

I'm not sure which cams are in it. I bought this car in December on a very quick sale. I haven't pulled the valve-cover off yet when I do I will see if there are any markings on the cams and I'll let you know.

[@RafaelRamirez-pw5bf]

Dream Big Sounds good id guess they are 272's by the sound but cant really say the brand lol

[@PATuners]

good video bro this was great editing was amazing put together really well. you were spot on with the Subaru engine i know so many people who waste there money on these car. Looks there on point engine fail. NOTING BEATS A 4G63 in my book i have owned a EVO and lots of TSI AWD. still have a few. Spent my 20s racing only with a 4g63 loved it got burnt out on it. took the dd aka tib and started back at it.

[@williamsportwrestler]

Thanks bro! I'm working on a 4G63 history video. Thanks for watching!

[@PATuners]

I would enjoy that video from 6bolt 7bolt to the 7bolt split thrust bearing i love them all

[@Darksider1973]

got a evo 9 did couple of launch gear box Broke sure good motor but sucky gear box ,sti average motor awesome gearbox

[@Miratesus]

HAHAAHA subibro here and children loves racing.

[@Plibt_]

I think the engine format is the biggest drawback for me. Working on a flat 4/6 ect is hard enough on that tiny engine bay, let alone a turbocharged rendition. What if you need to replace a head gasket? What if you want to install aftermarket camshafts/valvesprings? Simple mods on a i4/i6 engine but it almost always requires the entire engine to be removed on boxers. The skill level required to properly and safely modify this style of engine is far too high for the average weekend tuner.

[@williamsportwrestler]

I agree with you. I was going to say something about the head-gaskets but for the sake of keeping the video a reasonable length, I decided to leave them out. It's definitely an advanced level car to work on and an expensive one too mod. Thanks for watching!

[@carlosvega622]

1 thing you need to know about impreza. It’s not for straight fight! Do racing uphill-downhill dog fight(initial D verse) All kind of Lamborghini/ferrari will be defeat if downhill fight with sti 😎

[@jdm5214]

Go get a life because a evo Honda Lamborghini or Ferrari would smoke your STI

[@jdm5214]

I bet the Evo would smoke a Lambo or a farrari In a uphill or downhill or a Straight

[@nvrlt]

Sooo basically you told us about ringland faliure, and that the owners of wrx/stis are stupid and so on?

[@jdm5214]

Yes they are because Evo’s are faster and now go get a life

[@f12got49]

I rather vape then smoke cigs

[@jdm5214]

Evo’s Will always be faster
