    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    My Higgins Blue STI is just about to roll over 60k Miles. It's nearly 7 years old at this point but the goal remains the same: Make a car that celebrates the career of David Higgins and Craig Drew that is also fun to drive and push while also being able to handle daily use. It's easy to find...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    Hey STI fam. Figured I'd update the build. Not much has changed since the tune, but I did replace my worn-out endlinks for Torque Solutions. Also looking at getting a new clutch soon since the FlexFuel tune has been dialed back for the stock clutch I'm still on. There's still some left, but...

    I wish someone else made these intercooler shrouds! But I got together with a friend who can weld and fabricate stuff like this. We worked together a few years ago to make this specifically for my car and my hood, so unless your 2004 STI and the hood you're running has the same dimensions as...

    Hi from NH

    Welcome! Congrats on the new STI! I'm originally from Merrimack NH. I miss it!

    Yup! Stock turbo. Stock clutch (while it lasts!). Stock block. I've been pretty cautious with stuff knowing the weak points of the EJ257. AOS helps keep oil where it's supposed to be. Coolant is more evenly distributed through the block with the additional line we added to the 4th Cyinder...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    My car has been on some sort of "Stage 2" setup for 3 years now. I knew my next step was going to be FlexFuel, but it took me awhile to get to the point where I knew how I wanted to do it and what other mods to do that would be easiest whilst doing FlexFuel anyways. The floodgates opened up...

    Hahah yeah #DadLife has kept me busier than I expected. And COVID-19 has put a damper on a lot of plans I had this Spring and Summer. We did get to have Subaru Motorsports USA's Rally Car on display here for two weeks, so that was fun to put together for fans. Next week there's more...

    Sorry for the long wait. Here's the latest update on mine. I've had these 503s on for a good part of the summer now. Absolutely loving these but I need to make a few adjustments to make them work. Method 503 Rally 18x9.5 | 5x114.3mm | +40mm/6.90" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Tires 275/35 ZR18...

    Haha suppose you're right, but the photos at the top weren't that great since there were a ton of cars in the parking lot. This was the best I could manage from the "top"... but technically the TOP is still a few stairways up. Haha IMG_9824 by 86Reverend, on Flickr

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    Back in winter mode with a minor change. Got a great deal on Black Friday for a Grimmspeed Stealthbox. Install on it was a breeze, cleaned off the MAF sensor while I was at it, and Graham at Boosted Performance Tuning is helping with the tune adjustments via e-mail. I also got this handy...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    I never really got around to finding a decent way to mount my COBB V3. I mean, my car has been tuned for nearly 3 years now and it bothered me that any time I wanted to use it, it was never in a good spot. Picked up a mounting kit for the A-Pillar of my STI from ProClip USA and have been...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    When I added a ViS Racing carbon fiber hood to my 2016 WRX STI, the first thing I knew I'd need to do was build something to channel air properly from the intake to the intercooler. Well, after making it by with a hacked-up plastic shroud from my stock hood, it's time to make something a little...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    Billetworkz is making a run of Series.HyperBlue numbered plates. We figured out which "1 of 700" our Hyper Blues are and did a group buy in the Hyper Blue Owners Group on Facebook to get these made. Can't wait to get mine! Mine is 044/700

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    Yeah, I've had two GC8s. The first one was a rust-bucket that I put a ton of work into and just got fed up with battling rust so I sold it. The second one was super clean and was great until the Turbo Baja came up for sale, so I sold it to a good friend so I could get the Baja. Didn't see...

    Reverend's Hyper Blue WRX STI

    It's pretty simple. Disassemble the shift knob, sand off the color (I did this to a WRX knob, not the fancy red STI one), paint your own color in, reassemble and enjoy! I personally like the feel of the stock shift knob. Every time I try to switch I keep going back to it. Must be something...

    Well my "Higgins Blue" STi is about to take the trip of a lifetime. 22 hours of driving are all that stand between me and the mountain roads of New England. I've managed to plan our family vacation (I have family in NH and MA) the week before the New England Forest Rally. I'll drive up to New...
