Post up your own subies or whatever suby porn you like



Heres my car: A 2000 Impreza 2.5rs with a full 04 STi conversion. Then went with a large rotated turbo setup. (gt3076r turbo - tuned at Precision Tuning in NJ - made 386whp/398wtq) Ask me anything about Subarus brahs im a bit of a guru when it comes to this chit. Former auto technician by trade I built this car from the ground up with my own hands. The only thing I didn't do myself was the dyno tune.

Holy chit these pics are small now.. Sorry brahs photobucket raped my account I'll try and get some larger/better quality versions up

The 04 STi has a 5x100 lug patern which limits your wheel options. The 05 gets a 114.3x5 pattern and you'll have a ton more to choose from. These cars are coming close to 10 yrs old now and really you need to just watch out for who has owned them previously. If it was an older person then you can buy with a little bit of confidence.. if it's been multiple owners/likely young guys.. better watch out because the thing has probably been abused. The 05 gets some cosmetic differences as well notably on the interior. They're both very similar.. really as long as they've been properly maintained they should still be a great car to own. Buying used is tough.. especially when it's cars like the STi or Mitsubishi EVO. You know brahs just love to beat on them because they think they're race cars..

When buying just make sure to get the vehicle up on a lift.. check for leaks front to back.. check the carfax and work history if available.. if it's higher mileage check to see if things like the timing belt/water pump have been replaced.. like I said if the car had regular oil changes and was taken care of properly they can last a long time.

hnng ty brah been seeing ones around Edmonton area with 75k for around 23-24k with stage 2 exhaust, tune ect they pretty safe to buy if they are just bolt ons? and how long do you think if you take care of one of them they will last for? btw.................repped

[TMSmith4]

Spoolin, are you on NASIOC? The name sounds familiar. Relevant picture time:

In my opinion, one of the best STi's ever produced:

[rickerson14]

Nice cars brahs! Jelly of that 13'.. I have secret plans to pickup a white 11' wrx base model and build my STi longblock then put everything from the GC into the Hatch. Been really mirin' dat 11+ hatch lately.. would be more practical for me now too

75K + full stage 2 id be a little skeptical.. personally, i'd be trying to find the rare gems that are still stock. 23-24k is a price I would expect for a mint 04-05. I've seen high mileage 04-05s go for 16k. When a person mods the cars you know they already have the intention of testing its performance n chit.. it's not a 100% guarantee it's been abused but a likely sign. Theres no real way to tell exactly how long they will last.. I have seen 150,000 mi STi's before though if thats any indication of a properly owned one. Sometimes it just comes down to knowing whos owned it before you. It could be stage 2+ for most of its life and the owner could of been super meticulous with everything.. scared to beat on it/etc.. I know people like that. Then that would be a great car to pick up. Its up to you to kinda investigate everything.. buying used can be good or you can get beat, its tough especially with cars like the sti/evo etc..

Spoolin, are you on NASIOC? The name sounds familiar.

Yeah I've been a member there for almost 10 years now, but my name there is some generic chit. "rr02wrx" - I lurked there for years when considering getting a suby, then when I thought I was about to pickup a bugeye I made that name.. ended up getting the GC. Mods won't let me change my name. Oh well

[rbdbikes]

Hopefully gonna be getting an 02-05 wrx within a couple months, cant wait till i find the perfect one, hard to find.


for your time, i give you this bugeye off nasioc, forgot the guys name tho.

Nice brah good luck, they're hard to find. There was a point I wanted to get one and throw all my STi stuff in it but I realized I'd have to do some type of cosmetic work to it so I think i'm going to just get the 11+ hatch

Always was mirin WheelDude's bugeye hard.. my favorite front end combo.. JDM headlights/fog covers/v3 front lip... hnnnnngggg

Looking to get into a subaru sometime in the next few years.

Have there been any problems with the newest bodystyle?

Which year of the newer style has been the best so far?

My old RS which I sold last year.

^What front bumper is that? The fog covers look like theyre from a 22b but the side markers look shorter. What motor/trans were you running?

[gixxer0.6g]

Thinking about getting a BRZ. How are they holding up so far? It's between that, 370z, and a genesis coupe.

They're holding up fine and have a huge aftermarket following so far. The only real thing I hear people having a problem with is the lack of power. There are a few turbo/super charger kits you can get I believe with more being developed. I remember seeing one of the kits put down 350ish on the dyno.. P&L has a kit that just ran a 12.4 quarter mile. Dem aesthetics tho... love how the brz looks

Brz if you're positive you will turbo it. If not then a 370z.

Former Blobeye STi owner (years ago), miss it. Still have love for Subies, would love to have one of these with a STi swap.

Is that Jive's BRZ? His BRZ is aesthetic as fuk and he has the most appropriate plates. The car keeps up with STi's on a road course.

Yep thats Jive's. Mirin his builds, the blue STi before his brz was nice as hell too. Dude knows how to mod a car super cleanly.

[Rickdrizzle]

^What front bumper is that? The fog covers look like theyre from a 22b but the side markers look shorter. What motor/trans were you running?

Mature WRC bumper. The car had (unless the new owner changed it up which I doubt) an EJ205 swap with an 18g turbo and supporting mods w/ stock RS tranny.

[jmonty]

Is the brz going to get a stock turbo option soon?
