    06 WRX Vs STI rocker panels?

    I need to replace the rocker panels on my 06 STI pretty badly soon. Everywhere I look, the left side is still available from Subaru but the right side has been discontinued? 1st question: Does anyone have a source that actually has both sides in stock? I see Subaru still has both sides of...

    hmm, hadn't thought or heard much about trunk chassis bracing before now.

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    Not looking for much adjustment, the car is my daily/family ride and gets autocrossed only once or twice a year at best. I'm looking for a small step up from OEM in handling and flat cornering and a step down in ride height.

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    Any thoughts on lowering springs and performance shocks along with the sway bars, endlinks and bushings as opposed to coilovers? I'd honestly be happy to retain as much stock performance as possible and take it down an inch or two, maybe take some roll out of it in the corners.

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    I did the exhaust, intercooler, intake and gauges myself but dropped it off at my shop for the AC, hub, exhaust header and clutch. I just didn't have the time to do it myself and I don't have another car to drive while it's down for work. I'm also in between friends-with-lifts at the moment. My...

    An Emblem Change? What do you think?

    I have a set of the STI Cherry Blossom Red badges on my white 06 sti and I love it! I lost all my hosted pics so I'll have to shoot more soon.

    cat vs catless

    Dunno but I've had a Cobb turbo back setup on my 06 STI for 3 years now and I'm still impressed by everything about it, from the build quality sound to the look to the performance. I've had many oem parts not bolt up as easily as the Cobb stuff.

    running progressively more rich?

    How can you tie a UEGO into the stock ECU? Any way, that would make things a lot easier for me. Oh, found out this was a boost leak and also from not having the right tune for running a FMIC. I've since gone back to the TMIC stock style setup and replaced the holy exhaust header and I'm running...

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    Whoops! Been 2 years since posting in here and my photo hosting got switched out so all the pics are gone :(. I've been hella busy with the STI too, getting it back into fighting shape. I'll try to get some moar pics soon to show off a bit, it's really starting to come together! Since last on...

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    Moar updates: Spent new years day replacing the turbo with a shiny brand new one! Exact same one as the one that came out and no more oil puffing out the rear of my car! Quite a lot of play on the shaft in the old one. Again, the STI is noticeable quieter. Noise level is somewhere between my old...

    running progressively more rich?

    It didn't seem too far out of what I'd expect but I cleaned it last night anyway. Significant visual difference on the intake side, went from soot black to the same brown as the other side.

    I'll get set up tonight to log some data over the next day or 2 and set up a MAF gauge on my AP. Thanks guys!

    running progressively more rich?

    Over the last few months I've noticed my car running progressively more rich and by that I mean that I have more and more unburnt fuel wafting out of my exhaust pipe at idle and under exceleration. My rear bumper has a smear of fuel on it above the exhaust pipe and the inside of the exhaust is...

    The Daily/Family Whip: 06 STI

    I love the 86 I just drove and would happily pick one up. Yes, the car seats technically fit in the back but with almost no extra room. I feel like it's even less of a responsible family car than the STI already is ;). With an 86, practicality is out the window entirely but with the STI I can...
