'05 STi Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hey everyone, I'm new here, so I figured I'd just say, "WHAT'S UP!" Glad to be here! I just purchased my 1st Subaru on 3/30/05 in the form of a 2005 WRX STi. I love it! So far, mods include a Cobb AP Stage 1 and a K&N panel filter. I'm probably going to add a TBE soon, and maybe a DP so I can run the Stage 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't be doing any serious mods, but I have an '06 WRX wagon. tint, clear bra, Stromung muffler and lighter (in weight AND color) wheels. saved 3.5 pounds per corner. dang! photo gallery seems to be down. I'll try to post the link to my wagon later. Anyway - welcome aboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subarubrat Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 O5' Welcome aboard, I have an 04 myself. I can't say enough about the Vishnu packages, and certainly Cobb is a fine and safe performer as well. You will be selling yourself short if you don't do a full turbo back system. I had mine on by itself for a few days before I did the full build and that change alone made a huge difference in how it spooled and pulled. I am running the Vishnu 500 kit right now and although your talking about a 60% or so increase in HP the driveability is very stock like, just more power. The driveline has proven to be very reliable at these power levels and there are allot of folks out there running more than that. About the only other changes I have made are springs and tires. The stock springs are good, but the JDM STI pinks are far better and match the struts better than the US ones. The stock tires are probably the best OEM tire I have ever experienced. I did replace them with some Falken 245s and there is no rubbing. So far they seem to be at least as grippy and maybe a hair more so than the OEMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'05 STi Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 Again, thanks for the welcome, you guys! Nice '06! I like! I could've settled for a different color combo than WRB/Gold, but I decided to wait it out. Despite being one of the most popular combos, when I think of Subaru, I think of the blue and gold! It wasn't an option for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
