Default Hi guys! New to the Forums!

Hi guys, new guy here!

I've been lurking for a couple months. I've always liked the sti's and dreamed to own one! I've owned nissans and hondas in the past but now I'm in the process of convincing my wife (she's pregnant and due soon) that we get an 2010 Sti... lol Ehem ehem, the wagon and awd safety excuse.

I'm Currently parting out my current car (07 civic si sedan supercharged) on 8thcivic.com my screen name there is 206si. Here are some photos of its glory before parts getting ripped off. I hope to put the "t" between the "si" soon... Enjoy.
















Thanks and hope to learn more about subarus and sti's in the forum.

this.

How much power did you put down on the blower? I think I like those wheels the most.

Good lord, I am in love with that Civic. Looks very similar to the Eaton M62 blower. Bet she put down decent numbers!

Thanks guys! The Si put down 303hp and 174tq. There is still no torque with the blower. Its the CT-E stage 2 supercharger tuned with Hondata Flashpro. I learned quite a bit on this car so I hope I learn alot more on the sti.

Keeping it clean? I live in seattle washington. It always rains so there is no secret lol maybe Meguiars products? I cleaned the car before the pictures lol

Looks good, the new Si is a decent car, smoother ride than the STI, that is for sure. Maybe not the family comfort cruiser that you would hope, but if the roads in WA are good, then shouldn't be a problem.

I used the same logic to sell the STI on my end, and it is true. The wagon, the 4 doors, etc etc... much more logical vehicle for the family and still a lot of fun.

Gotta love Washington state... noticed you have a furnace in your garage!
