I originally joined this site afer buying a 07 STI which had done limited miles and was impressed with the car it was sweet to drive.When i went to pick this car up there was two 08 STI models sitting in the showroom and i was surprised as i didnt like the car in pics i had seen but it was alot better in the flesh.I kept the 07 for six weeks and enjoyed driving it on good roads (i stay in scotland so plenty of fast twistys) i took the car to the isle of sky.After returning from work i saw a new 08 at my local showroom and ended up buying it and also took it to skye (100 miles of mountain roads) .I was unsettled by its handling until i got a feel for the car and the set up and discovered that it can make realy quick progress through corners and has great traction it ca actually be pretty scary .I have left corners when going there and wondered how it stayed on the road to be honest. i think it needs 400 brake and some tweaks to the anti roll bars and dampers but i will not go to nuts with the tuning as it is also decent to drive .Worry with the 2.5 engine is tight clearances so any more than 400 brake is pushing it without major work which is not a problem just kills the warrenty. i am finding it hard to get parts just now ,things like anti roll bars ,de -cat pipe,downpipe and wheels but when i get it sorted ill post.i am surprised more companies have not got their sh**t together as it is same engine as 07 whith some small tweaks although i think the avcs on the exhuast valves is new to 08.anyone with any vendor info on parts i would be gratefull for advice.
