    Cross country road trip '04 STi

    Yes it was a hell of a trip but absolutely fun and I'd do it again! I haven't done much to the STi either since we've been back, the VW bus we are restoring kinda took priority the last few weeks in a push to get her out to a few shows before the summer is over. ?

    Wow, nearly 300k miles man! I freaked out when my '04 hit 100k miles a couple weeks ago, can't imagine 300k. Very cool indeed.

    Welcome! Super nice rides. Our garage is very much like yours (Forester for her and STi for me).

    Thanks! I'm not the greatest author or story teller but I did my best, it was hard to keep updating the thread because of so many things on the agenda and lots of late nights causing me to delay posting lol. Glad my thread was entertaining though! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Cross country road trip '04 STi

    We made it back last night around 8:00pm local time. 5,400 miles total. My STi hit 100k miles somewhere in Kentucky yesterday, it was bittersweet. Was a fantastic trip! I forgot to mention earlier in this thread that while we were in southern California we went to Universal Studios Hollywood and...

    I really liked Texas, it's got a cool variety of terrain. The people drive pretty fast though! It was really cool near the Texas/Arkansas border.

    Oh damn yeah that would've been cool. I even thought about ya when we got into Texas, but I was pretty sure you were up further north in the panhandle, that figures. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Strangely enough, both headlights worked fine tonight. I'm not sure what the deal is but glad they are working now! Made it to the Texarkana area tonight, going to try some diamond mining ? tomorrow, we found gold in AZ maybe we'll get lucky and find a diamond to help pay for the trip lol. So...

    Cross country road trip '04 STi

    We have a problem with the STi! The passenger low beam hid headlight was not working when we got into New Mexico last night. I had a spare new bulb, put it in and still not working. So I pulled the headlights and swapped the ballast and still no light on passenger or driver! So I swapped the...

    Cross country road trip '04 STi

    Lol yes she got a good bath and general detail cleaning when we arrived at my brother's house in PHX. Gas mileage was averaging 27mpg roughly for the first 1500 miles or so, and that was pretty flat driving at 70-80mph. I haven't tracked it too well lately due to laziness ? We drove out from...

    Went gold panning in Prescott AZ. Had a good time and found a little bit of gold so it was cool. Took the car thru some gnarly fire roads and did great and didn't even touch bottom at all. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Cross country road trip '04 STi

    About 2300 miles so far, burned a total of 1 quart or so, not bad considering the hard driving we've done so far. Still running terrific, flashed the ECU for 91 octane since that is all we can find. Only one issue so far that is minor, the gas cap "code" (p0457) keeps popping on lately. Clear...

    Sorry for late updates! Been driving across U.S. Currently outside of Colorado, heading towards Utah (Zion Natl Park) and going thru Rockies today. Saw a newer black STi somewhere near Omaha, cruised with him for a while. Speed limit was 75mph on I-80 thru Nebraska, set cruise at 80 mph, did a...
