Tyler's 2010 AW STI SE
Well a little history about myself I guess, My name's Tyler, born and raised in Southern California in a little town outside of San Diego. My love for all things Subaru began late 2006 with the purchase of a 2006 OBP/Gold STI, it had 8 miles on it when I took it off the showroom floor. It was a great car, never had any problems with it and I left her pretty much stock.
Fast forward to begining of this year, my lease was about to be up and I had stopped by the dealership to order a fog light cover that had gone missing when I saw the SE sitting on the showroom floor in the very spot my 06 had once sit. I went in and looked at it but the sales guy didn't know too much about the differences so I went home and did some research. Decided I liked what it had to offer so I went down and bought it on 3/11/2010, including my test drive it had 17 miles on it.
I think I like this one a little bit better than the 06, sure the GD was louder and a drivers car for sure. But I have a long commute to work so the comfort and quietness of the GR was more up my alley. She currently has about 16K miles on her and hasn't given me any problems. I will be updating this quite frequently as the mod bug hit me strong with this one.
Current Mods:
Engine/Performance:
- Cobb AccessPort Stage 2 v1.04 LWG
- Invidia Catless DP
- Greddy Ti-C single exit exhaust(functon > form)
- AEM CAI( currently not installed, had a lot of knock problems with it)
- Cobb SS Heatshield
- Beatrush Pitchstop
Exterior/Interior goodies:
- RA mudflaps v1
- DIY grill mustache blackout
- DIY rear reflector blackout
- 2.5% rear, 5% front tint
- 55w 8,500K HID conversion
Car is currently stage 2 as of this weekend, runs amazingly as of now. I have recently joined the Air Force so I will be moving out of California. I plan on converting to E85 if I move to a state where it is readily available.
