    Clean and loud as balls! Gotta switch on a more reasonable exhaust at some point, there's some no name can on there now and, while I love the rumble, it has a few nasty resonance peaks and gets stupid loud. The previous owner threw a bunch of parts on and didn't tune it so I already got an...

    Question about 07+ replacement keys and immobilizer system

    Well, the blue plastic on the 04 keys can come off but I'm going to try to get it off without damaging it. It's molded over a ridge that follows the shape of the key, once I have the blue plastic off, I just have to file down that ridge in a spot that's a bit wider than the immobilizer chip and...

    Question about 07+ replacement keys and immobilizer system

    After looking over the 04' STi keys and the 06' keys, I have a small plan and parts on order. I'll document everything in case it all works but I'm planning on transplanting the immobilizer from a new key into the 04' keys. Everything on plan is sound in theory but I haven't seen anyone else do...

    Question about 07+ replacement keys and immobilizer system

    By the JDM key I mean this one: I don't mind securing the immobilizer in something else on the keychain that's solid, just wondering if anyone had any success or advice. Securing the immobilizer in steering column A.) kinda defeats the purpose of having it and B.) yeah, what if it shifts out...

    Question about 07+ replacement keys and immobilizer system

    After rolling in a new-to-me 06 STi for a month now, I'm starting to sort out some of the little niggles that bug me. I only got the car with 1 key and want to get a spare or two. I love the Subaru JDM keys available from places like fastwrx but those keys don't work with the immobilizer system...

    Thanks guys! Very nice welcome so far, maybe I'll try to shoot some pics this weekend. I'm starting to order some small stuff and just got in replacement floormats today. yes, the Dealership I bought it from took out the mats and sold them separately I guess? Anyway, no mats came with it.

    Hi! Been looking around for an older STi for a few months and finally picked one up last week. It has been pretty modded so I'll slowly be poking around through it trying to figure out what I have in my garage :D. I do know that A). It's quite a bit faster than my old Sti or anything else I've...
