With Newman pulling out, I'm putting it in...

Congrats man :tup:

Nice pick up, but 10k with issues? Makes me a little nervous.

Whats up! Nice buy!

Gotta be the Cappelino one…

amirite?

refer to post 13

i dunno boost leak wouldn’t be that high on my deal breaker “issues list”

Especially since its probably still under warranty

Cool? You asked the same thing…

yup lol

Where is the IS-F and 400k house???

Congrats Beck. I kind of miss my STI from time to time.

Good to see one that isnt white black or silver :tup:

Congrats. I like the red too.

Some people like lemonade…

when i saw this i honestly almost jumped on it, nice pickup. glad to see more guys are getting sti’s!!! the car not diseases…

Ugh so many boxer motors out there.

haha.

It wasn’t anything serious. Issues = A boost leak, an unconnected wideband sensor (which we just plugged) and a useless catch can setup not to mention the installation of a badly needed stage 2 accessport. It wasn’t like it was throwing codes and stalling out.

Just to be safe mike did a compression/leak down test and it was 145 psi across the board with 1-3% leakdown numbers. :tup:

I tossed around the idea but honestly, to budget for a $50,000 car and still have the need for a winter car, doesn’t make sense right now.

nice buy! I test drove one, but it was a bit small for me.

<EDIT>

jeez STI’s suck… i drove a cobb stage 2 08 STI a few weeks ago and tried to beat the crap out of it but it just doesnt do fun things.

it didnt even feel fast even though i know it is very fast around a track.

anywyas, congrats… awesome car man

im a little late on this post but o snappppp welcome back son, maybe ill actually see you out now !

that’s just the problem with evos and stis, you have to go beyond retarded to have any fun, and when they do snap they often behave like FWD cars. I scare myself (in a fun way) more with my lame 200hp bmw than I could with my 400hp evo. (verified by the GF complaint gauge)

back on topic, the new STIs do look great in red and I’d love one for the winter.
