Hello all, I'm Matt I own a white 2012 STI. Have a few mods done but not going for big power. More about the handling. Any way I look forward to following this fourm and hearing more from everyone.

Good move on going for the handling.

Welcome to IGOTASTI!!

Nice ride! What did you have prior?!

 

[Matt_2012_STI]

Thanks for the welcome. ...well prior to this I had a 2013 wrx premium pack, my first brand new car after 11 years of working. But... after breaking the gearbox 5 times in a year I decided that it wasn't for me (with a little help from subaru not going to cover another broken one) so I decided I would either buy a sti or put about $8k or so into making the box bullet proof. I really do not regret my decision

5 times.... What were you doing that it was breaking?!

Welcome. Enjoy your STi .

Well after a bit of research the clutch has a delay valve and fast changes from 1st to 2nd above 5800 rpm doesn't help when it only has a single sincro between them. So yea a few bad combinations and yea I now have a sti with no such problem. Also deleted the delay valve.
