Pastapuck's 06 WRB/Gold STI - Update: New Interior Pictures - Page 5

Pastapuck · 05-08-2007, 05:59 PM

Bought a 9500i today to replace my X50. Awesome so far

06SpecC · 05-08-2007, 06:52 PM

Nice, how much was it?

Pastapuck · 05-10-2007, 11:24 AM

$449.95

I used to have the X50...what happened was my buddy bought it @ sharper image a little less than 2 yrs ago and also bought the 2 yr extended warranty. I just brought it in and told them that it was acting up lately (which it was) and they exchanged it for the 9500i. the difference was $185.00 (i bought another 2 year guarantee hehe)

someone requested pics of the 9500i i bought so here you go:

and a kitty

and my scoob

oh I'm thinking about buying this exhaust in a month......I like it because it has the stock look

06SpecC · 05-10-2007, 01:08 PM

Nice choice for exhaust, it def looks sleeper. I have a TurboXS RFL Ti catless TBE on my evo 9 MR and a Buddy Club catless TBE on my STi, and OMG it's LOUD!

For the STi I think the 4 inch TurboXS downpipe will cause boost spiking because it's a bellmouth design with no divorced wastegate, but the good thing is it's not catless so it wouldn't cause boost creep. Also your gonna want some good EM, like COBB (a reason to go stage 2

). If your looking for a good deal on parts check out Josh @ ImportImageRacing, http://importimageonline.com/index.php He hooks up SWFL with really good deals! and he's not that far from Naples.

Pastapuck · 05-10-2007, 02:03 PM

well I was going to buy the exhaust and possibly wait a couple months until I buy Cobb AP but who knows if I have that kind of will power

I've been talking to Josh a little bit lately and when it comes time I'll probably give him a call.

as far as the 4" dp causing boost spike...is there anything i can do about that besides getting an alternative dp?

06SpecC · 05-10-2007, 02:42 PM

For the spiking I think it is normal for 3 inch downpipes and the best thing is to run EM which rasies the fuel cut and boost pressure (after product of more power

), but for 4 inch downpipes im not sure, there's bound to be some info on Turboxs's 4 inch downpipe on here. Either way EM will not hurt for exhaust, and some users say its dangerous to run a downpipe without divorced wastegate with no EM

.

nice-rice · 05-10-2007, 07:22 PM

Thats a nice radar. I still use my x50 and like it a lot. If it ever bites the dust I'll upgrade to the 9500i though.

Pastapuck · 05-10-2007, 07:31 PM

Thanks for the advice/tips 06Spec....we should get together sometime for a subie meet, do you know many subie owners around here?

Pastapuck · 05-14-2007, 06:20 PM

The mod bug bit me today...bought 2 things that should be here next week. I'll keep updated with pics.

1) COBB Sport Springs

2) Spec C Limited Front Lip

I was debating getting some power mods....but I decided I was going to do these first, then do Stage 2 all at once, not one mod at a time that way I feel a big difference in the power increase

Pics coming soon!

Pastapuck · 05-24-2007, 09:28 PM

My car, but what is that inside?

A closer look!

My cobb springs! (being installed this Saturday - pics to come!)

But what else do we have ....

woot, JDM hazard button...installed too! Didn't take a picture of it installed yet, but easy install

oh, and my Spec C lip came! Here's some shots of it mounted. Fitment was perfect, easy to install Do you guys like the black, or should I paint it blue? Thinking about getting some black or dark gray Work Emotion CR-KAI's to have make the front lip blend in with the car more than the gold BBS'ers

SubaSTi04 · 05-24-2007, 09:58 PM

ooooo little teaser that with the Cobb box, haha! pics when u get that sucka dropped!

about the lip, i think you should color match it WRB, and then paint the headlights black and get gunmetal work emotions... hahaha thats just me thinkin out loud

06SpecC · 05-25-2007, 05:05 PM

I see you've got some nice FL lovebugs all over your car LOL!

Car looks damn good with that lip on it, i think you should paint the lip WRB to match just to make it blend and more JDM

. Since i got a V-limited lip and its black i made some black vinyl covers to cover the amber on my headlights so the front looks blacked out and flows better. I have had GF-210's for months but am debating wether i should put them on. I can't wait to see the Cobb springs when you put them on. Def take LOTS OF PICS! Work Emotions are 2-3 lbs heavier per wheel over the BBS's, you can get a good deal on 57f's from Gruppe-s and he can do black too if you want

. I'm looking into some bronze RE30's or bronze 57f's for my car. Do you go out to the car meets in fort myers?

Hey bud whats up....I don't go out to the car meets in Fort Myers, but I would be up for it. Let me know what week you plan on going and I'll let you know if I can make it. I'd come down with a group of people from floridacarclub.com. Any idea on how much it would cost to paint, and a reputable place in the SWFL area to take it? I was debating painting it, but I also like it black too. I might keep it black for a few months, and if I get bored, or when it gets rock chipped paint it

I like the Re30's but they're a little pricey aren't they? I liked a few Rota's and the Emotions because they look good & are pretty affordable. Wheels aren't a mod I'd normally do so I'd want something not too pricey, and I don't really track my car.

06SpecC · 05-25-2007, 06:34 PM

Bro your in luck if you like RE30's, Rota makes a exact copy and theyre soo hot, ROTA SVN. heres a link to the pics of em on a 06 STi. http://www.subydude.com/subyslidesho...rs/dudes06sti/
Theyre 20 lbs ea so they weigh less than Work emotions! and the price isn't bad at all! I need to join floridacarclub.com, im on tamparacing and naplesracing. I think my brother was on floridacarclub with his evo and GTO.
I don't go to meets much but it would be cool to have a meet and photo shoot. I'm not sure what paint places are good, but I had a evo lip painted at a reputable shop right in cape coral but it was a bit pricey $200 i think, and it was perfect.

Updates!
