Post 2007 STi Satin White Pearl
Figured I'd throw my STi on here (since TJ is the only other person to have done this so far..).
My 2007 STi, I bought this car new from Eastside Subaru in September 2007 with 32 miles on the odometer. Within an hour I had it up on jack stands putting on my old catback because stock was unbearably quiet.

Current mod list:
Exterior Mods:
-STi Limited trunk spoiler
-Bayson R front lip
-18% tint
-04/05 tail lights

Suspension Mods:
-Cobb lowering springs
-Cobb front and rear sway bars
-Kartboy endlinks
-Whiteline ALK (to be installed)

Interior mods:
-Blitz turbo timer
-Cobb shift knob
-Recaro SRD reclining seats
-LED dome light & trunk light

Power/Engine bay mods:
-APS 70mm CAI
-APS turbo inlet
-APS DR525 black core FMIC
-APS Equal length manifold
-8mm phenolic intake manifold spacers
-JDM TGV deletes
-750cc injectors
-255lph fuel pump
-TurboXS 4" downpipe & resonatorless midpipe
-Blitz Nur Spec axleback
-Grimmspeed BCS
-Cobb turbo heat shield

Much more to come of course. At the moment I have a full Speed Architech carbon fiber interior kit, a couple of gauges, and a Whiteline ALK to install.

I guess I should add some photars for good measure...
I have yet to take this thing out for a photoshoot within the last SEVERAL months... anyone wanna help me get motivated and meet up for a shoot or something?

That car has definitely been missed, I am so happy about who ended up buying it and what I ended up buying afterwards though.

Have you seen the car or Mark lately? How has everything been going there?

Pretty good. So far, he's hit a stump, barbed wire fence, the embankment on Brooklyn Stage (I'll find you the pic)! But besides that, good!

When he hit the stump, he fubar'd the rear control arm, and this happened...

Oops, haha. Is that the AVO turbo inlet on that thing? It looks like a one piece silicone inlet.

Oh cool, the only pic I have of the after damage sucks compared to yours. Are you a rally worker? When did you take that?

Yeah, I want the APS unit I think after looking over yours, Im SO sick of my Perrin. I went looking for one and everyone is sold out, and rumor has it theyre not making them anymore. Im hoping I can afford to snag a new unit off eBay before they all disappear.

The videos not that great of quality because I was zoomed in and the crash happened right in front of me so it's all the way zoomed in. It's still kinda cool though! But I don't know how to post nor do I want to because of the background language lol. So if you are really dieing to see it I can bring my computer to a meet or something and show you. :)

Like i said before. It's zoomed all the way in so it's not the best video.

I put 105 miles on them today, finished with a high bridge run and them up the foothills. They stick like glue! I can feel sidewall a little bit more on transitions but they feel soooo much better than the RE070s. Oh and they ride so nice on the highway, so much smoother than my old tires.

Thanks again Tim, I can tell you were very careful with my car and wheels.

Hmm, those were some complaints I have about the 070s - theyre noisy, and ride pretty stiff for a daily driver. My snow tires are nice and smooth and quiet, but too mushy feeling of course. I dont mind a little sidewall feel, which the 070s have none, but the snow tires have way too much. Maybe I will look into these.
