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 driven in a long time B). It sounds like thunder according to my daughter C). it's running pretty rich right now and D). It's parked on the street right now as I bottomed out getting in and out of my driveway the first night home.

Other than that, this is my daily driver/family car/only car

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.

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 access port and remapped it, much nicer now :D. Still need a wideband AF gauge and a boost gauge.

I just used one of the OTS base maps for now, reflashed it myself. Flashbacks from my days working in IT. The only tuning shop I knew locally is gone now, gotta find a new one :(

Redline. Used to be up in Warrendale, PA. Looked them up recently and most of the hits were about the owner skipping town with loads of money customers gave him to finish builds (that he never touched) and a few cars (I believe).

Edit: The OTS map is still running a bit rich (by my nose ;)) but it's far better than it was running. Also, it looks like the previous owner had a wideband AF sensor installed and ripped it out to sell separately and left the bung open in the downpipe so I'm getting some exhaust fumes as well.
