Default Paikman's 08 OBP STi. Advan RS, JIC FLT-TAR, AEM, *9/1 New pics pg. 23*

dyno sheets post #49.
Stock + old cars This post.
Mods/updates in Post 2.

Mods to come : JIC FLT-TAR
Just picked her up last night (3/24) from Farrish Subaru in VA.
Love it so far, our family also has a White Legacy GT Limited which my mom drives.
Not sure what to state which hasn't been already, throughout the past week I've driven quite a large amount of 05-07 STi's in hoping
to find a good used one... the 08 definetely is quite a step above in interior finish. The driving position is a little bit strange, seems like the seats
make you slump down away from the steering wheel, and a result is the dash and everything seems taller in general.
Ride is definetely smoother, the night time stock intake sound is quite different as well.












some of my previous cars :

01 GS300


95 240sx


2005 350z track


93 Nissan 240sx SE

Hey thanks for the welcome. I'm excited too. I've worked on a lot of STi's in the past, glad I was able to partake in this next generation.
