Nice ride. I'm sure your insurance loves you. I drove my buddies STi and it's a thrill, but I could never afford the gas for that thing, or the car payment and insurance on top of that. Get that thing a proper detail and it will be even sexier.

Rally Shmally! Drop it anyway, just because its all wheel drive doesn't mean it has to sit up like a 4X4! JFWY, I have always loved that color, goood to see one that isn't a parking lot rally queen.

So far its got STi wing, exhuast, and suspension. HIDs. Bought a cobb accessport, right now its tuned to stage 1. Soon to be turbo back exhaust and stage 2.
Here's my brother's STi interior. It's quite tricked out to say the least. He also had a Lotus Elise but sold it as he preferred the STi.

Nice man^!
Yeah overall im very very happy with it. My favorite car ive owned yet. Only things that suck are MPG, and well thats about it.. I bought it knowing i was going to get bad MPGs though. So its all good.
Next is Turbo Back Exhuast, then tune again. Should be 60whp right there, will keep you guys posted.

Dam nice but what made u go with the sti over the evo. I use to own a evo went that route due to the cost of working on the sti. But i have to say i love the way the sti sounds

Ehhh i found this one cheap. I like the boxer rumble :). Prefer the Subi interior over the Evos. Subaru's are better in the snow. I dont like that the majority of Evo drivers are assholes and think they are better then everyone else.
Thats about it, i still love Evo's though.

A Evo owner myself, its funny I hear that same comment about the Subbie crowd also ;)

But its all good, as long as were from the same awd rally car heritage I appreciate both cars for what they are. Almost bought sti myself.

Nice blue 06-07' STI by the way. It was the last year of the boxy body style before they went with the new rounder hatchback design in 08'...yuck.

evo owners assholes? nah, just the guy I bought mine from...when I test drove it, he yelled at me after he came back out of the bathroom where I met him because he left his lights on and he loudly accused me and my friend of doing it...we drove 17 hours to test drive a car and he thinks we came all that way to turn his lights on when he walks away.... Ive never driven a sti but the baja, mmm so ugly I love it... good luck with the subaru I dont know how you afford it but wait till you put in your first batch of synthetic oil, good tires, and speeding tickets....hope you have a bit of play in your budget...

Looks pretty good. Is that condensation, or a fogged up headlight.

i would have kicked the owner in the nuts. esp since there is that big ugly ledge in the middle of the bumper where the plate is supposed to go.
