so have my 05 sti for a few years. she is my daily driver and I love it for sure. I have a pretty stock ride other then suspension and brakes.. and that is about it.. I do want to do more, but want to get it paid off first. plus having 2 kids makes that a bit difficult... but my oldest love riding in dads racecar! I have joined in a couple of autocross events in my area and do enjoy that!

[willtinman]

absolutely! funny thing is... a good buddy of mine got a 05 sti brand new. hr used to have me drive him around in it for work and that is when I knew that I wanted one. as I started to shop, I found one, drove it once and got it. only to find out that it was the same car my buddy got brand new!

so more about the ride... the only thing done is brakes and suspension this far. power slot rotors, ebk red stuffs for my pads, swift sport springs, customs tuned stock sti struts from Feal Suspension,(dampered for the spring rate, much smoother ride) Whiteline 24mm front bar with endlinks, Msi 25mm rear sway with end links. deffinatly going to go the route of a Cobb access port, upgraded down pipe, and cat back exhaust. deffinatly looking into more of a autocross machine. I have been to a few events out here in the Seattle Washington area and had so much fun.
