Natural Domicile's 2005 AW STI

2820 Views 10 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  DWiggles
Since its release in the US, I have always wanted the 2005 AW STI. Finding one with low mileage and 7 years old was a task. I finally found a single owner, low miles, clean title and complete maintenance history. Then I got to modding...I'm bad at remembering to take photos of the progression, but will from now on document the changes. Hope you enjoy :tup:

My tires were getting bad so decided to get something a little beefier. 255/40 (yes i know a lot of people have gone way bigger. But this is big enough for the OEM rims).


Finally grew some balls to take my headlights apart and black them out!

Plasti Dip

I was curious if I would like white on white and before I paid to get them powder coated, I picked up some white plastidip.

Import Face Off

Decided to go to Import Face Off with a few buddies in Topeka, Kansas. One of my buddies was entering the show (blue bugeye), and figured I'd try it out since I have never entered one (not really my kind of thing). But we had a good time and didnt have to worry about idiots in the parking lot door dinging my car :lol:

One of the first people there.

I was debating on the H-tuff as they were beefier and I could get them for less than a retail set of regular H-beams, but I figured for 400-430whp, stock 08+ rods would do. I took the lazy way out.


I saw a picture of this car last night on Heartland Park's FB page. How far do you live from there? Now that I have a truck to trailer a car around, I might hit up the 1/4 mile some time. I'll be running the road course a few times this year.
I hope the H tuffs work out well, havent heard a lot about them.

YamahaSHO: I'm in Manhattan, KS. About an hour away from Topeka. Let me know if you go to heartland, i'd like to go back and run this when its complete. I have heard some good things about the road course, would love to go watch a subie or s2k run it.
SWEET!

Love the pics and build progress! Awesome!
