If you have an STi, please let me know the route you went for mods. I really don't wanna mess up anything on this car so all the help is appreciated. THanx

 

anybody? i'm more worried about warranties being voided due to certain mods..so if you could help thanx..

 

What do you want to do with the car? Everyone's path will be different depending on what they want to use the car for.

For instance, I track my car so my mods went like this:

I suggest you look through the Ongoing Projects forums for some of the other STi owners' mod paths.

I have the auto I/C switch - wow does it go thru water - I think I need the JDM 12L bottle!

 

What are using as the trigger? Mine is going to be connected to my ECUtek data display which will trigger a signal for water spray at a set boost level. So the AUTO switch ends up being an arming switch more than anything.

 

Get a Helix Catted DP, and an exhaust, then you need ecu tuning, and you will be ready to work on the suspension. Rear Sway bar is a must.

 

If you are going for power I would recommend tbe and engine management. You will notice a huuuge increase.

 

i agree with suzwrx. those were my first two mods. xede and vishnu's tbe. big gains with just those mods. tbe will void your warrenty,unless you know someone at the dealership.

 

Espelier jgt500 catback... coming soon...Helix dp...

 

first mod learn the limits of the car then mod....i am willing to bet the car will out perform you before you out perform it

 

That depends on what car you came from. I had a 360hp WRX with coilovers, stoptechs, and a ton of suspension goodies. My lap times went up quite a bit due to the limits of the STi's stock suspension.

 

egan i couldn't agree with you more but you got to remember a lot of guys that are asking these questions are young guys 16-21 range (fast and the furious generation) that all they know is they got a 300hp car but dont know the limits but just want to go faster but havent mastered it yet.

 

Egan- how long did your stock brakes last after tracking it and such..and whered you score the s202 wheels?

 

I have a 05' STi and my only mods are a GP Moto tbe and Ingen cai. I've had it about five months, did the tbe about two weeks after I got it, and just put the intake on today. The dealer sold and installed my tbe so it wouldnt void my warranty, and the intake is simple to install/remove so Im not worried about that.

 

pde dp and accessport stage 2. thats it!
