January 17, 20206 yr Another newbie here, just wanted to say hi.... I previously owned a 95 STI import, followed by a 52 plate bug eye, and just purchased a 2013 WRX STI, so Iām looking forward to lots of advice on upgrades etc.
January 17, 20206 yr Hi mate hope your enjoying your new subaru. Has it been modified at all yet? A remap and a panel filter is a great start with these cars, maybe a cat back if budget allows, all up to you really and what your willing to spend. Plenty knowledgeĀ on here though so ask away and let us see your car we love subarus here š¤£Ā
January 18, 20206 yr Author Hi thanks for the reply, at present she isĀ completely standard, itās only done 31k so looking to break her in still.... but panel filter, exhaust and remap was pretty much what I was thinking too, will post pics of her on Monday when Iām back home

Consider an uprated fuel pump aswell. There are folk that say when you want to go past this stage you should look into building the motor with a 2.5 but someone with better knowledge on this era of impreza may be able to help you with that info ive only ever dealt with the 2.0L

January 18, 20206 yr Yeah jay id love to go for a 2.1 strocker just dont have the funds way two young kids šš¤£

January 18, 20206 yr They only get more expensive as they get older. Take up less of your time but more of your money. .
January 18, 20206 yr Aye you are right there mate and they don't even want cash anymore it's can you transfer me 20quid and not even a please or thanks š¤£
January 20, 20206 yr Great choice of car. I love the 11-14 shape Subaru's. Did you get the hatch or Saloon?

Now I had no issues running 330 bhp in my first STI hatch however you will read many tales of unfortunate ringland failure. A decent map will go a long way to ensuring this does not happen as it will ensure No 4 pot does not run lean at the higher revs. Budget in the future to replace the pistons with forged items, also look at a timing belt kit funds (due at 40K) A cheaper mod is the cylinder cooling pipe discussed on another thread - this, allegedly will help a lot with the heat on No4 pot which will also contribute to ringland failure. I will be completing this work as part of my re installation. https://www.blingstrom.com/modmonday-sti/2019/3/17/getadomtune-cylinder-4-cooling-mod-showing-cylinder-4-that-you-still-care https://www.iagperformance.com/GDT-Cylinder-4-Chamber-Cooling-System-WRX-STI-p/gdt-1005.htm Ā Ā

January 23, 20206 yr Nice. There is a silver one round my way. Think it is the only one I have seen before in UK.
January 23, 20206 yr Looks great mate. I have never seen a grey one on the roads. I've only ever seen white and midnight purple (because I test drove them). Ended up picking up a black one myself. Have you got any plans for it in the future?

Mainly ascetic bits at the moment. Hoping soon to do new wheels, suspension, intake, full exhaust system and then a remap.Ā
January 24, 20206 yr If your bothered about resale value then leave it alone. Standard 04 STI in usa can fetch over $30K apparently.
