Car Info: Wish it was still my WRB STI
It was so good the first time...
that I got another. This time an '04 STI. Washed it and took it out to Brisbane to take a few pics today.
First impressions:
Power is amazing. The turbo spool up is so much faster than my stock '02 WRX! The 6 speeds seems too short of gearing though. I need to change gears like every 10mph it seems if I want a leisurely drive. Suspension is a little too harsh and drastically different than a stock WRX. The front hood scoop flexes when going at high speeds (as does the rear spoiler). I didn't expect this since the smaller hood scoop in my WRX never flexed. Other than that, the color rocks as does the interior. The only thing I'll miss from my WRX is the rear seat passthrough so I'll have to put on my ski rack when I'm going skiing. The car has some custom touches but they are all inside so it'll be hard to recognize me from others on the road but I'll take it out to the next meet in SF or an install fest.
