My name's Dominik, located in Germany, and I'm currently driving a 2008 Hatchback STi.
Over the last 2 years, the hatch turned into a racecar. :lol:
I bought it completely stock January 2016. After a first mapping in May '16 i got the first blown engine --> spun rod bearings.
After that, we rebuilt it with some better internals, like Mahle pistons, ACL main + rod bearings, ARP head stuts,...
Together with a upgraded DW65c fuelpump, DW injectors, Blouch TD05-18G XT-R turbo we made around 400hp.
After a leaking intercooler i replaced the TMIC with a mishimoto FMIC. Some other things have also been added or replaced.
I installed a bolt in roll cage (built under DMSB license). DMSB = german motorsport association.
The car is built for trackdays and hillclimb, so the engine doesn't know slow driving and something like that. Everything was running fine till May 2018...
I recognized the engine burns some oil, more than the last 1,5 years. After a compression test, the result was 8-8.5 bar on cyl. 1-3 and only around 5 bar on cyl. 4.
Maybe ringland failure or something else, i don't know.
Now the engine is replaced with a JDM EJ207 W20C engine from a JDM Hatchback V10.
Actual specs (July '18):
Engine/drivetrain:
- JDM EJ207 W20C Longblock
- Group N engine mounts
- Ground N transmission mounts
- Group N shifter rear mount and bushing
- NRC NoLimitRacing clutch 6pad
- phenolic spacers 8mm for intake manifold
- TGV delete (DIY)
- secondary airpump delete
- Oil-catch-can 2-way
- Intake-air-temperature sensor relocated to inlet pipe at throttle body
- D1spec external oil cooler 15 rows
- Deatschwerks 65c fuelpump
- Deatschwerks injectors 750ccm
- Blouch TD05-18G XT-R turbo
- MAC 3-Port boost solenoid
- TOMEI inletpipe
- Mishimoto front mount intercooler
- Mishimoto air intake
Suspension:
- Perrin front endlinks
- D2 Racing "street" coilovers
- Megan Racing brace front
- Ultra Racing brace rear
- CUSCO stabilisators front 23mm, rear 20mm
CAE Shifter is easy to install but requires some modification.
You have to extend the stick to the transmission around 45-50mm. Also the holes in the mounting plate will not fit, you have to drill new ones.
History:
4/5/13 - Car arrives via shipper from Heuberger in CO.
4/26/13 - Chicco Keylock carseat in orange added :) I really wanted the SEMA STI but they don't come in Hatch and I just love hatches.
5/22/13 - Boba Fett keychain! Cannot custom plate Slave1 as that could be oh so misinterpreted...

Hey everyone,
I felt the need to start a journal seeing that I have acquired an acceptable amount of modifications for the car, and it is a never ending project for me. Enjoy the thread and always feel free to chime in!

It has been quite a long time since I’ve actively been on here and have had any desire to really work or care about cars/car work.
I recently got rid of the rebuilt title 08 STi I had and picked up this 2011 sport tech mode from a military fellow. It’s been sitting in...
Hey there, my name is Alex and I am extremely fortunate to own a car of this nature. My first car was a brand new 2011 VW Jetta in white.
Being a passionate car enthusiast who attended the track every week to watch, I wanted to have a car that I could drive around and turn heads, but also...
