What a long wait. It was really hard to keep it below 4K rpm all this time! I'm looking forward to really feeling the turbo boost this weekend.

If you see a new pearl white wrx hatch zooming by with an old fart 54 year old behind the wheel with a big grin on his face, that"ll be me!

Another big mahalo to Shaggie of Servco Subaru Mapunapuna for helping me into this set of wheels.

 

Have fun! Good job for waiting!

 

I think we got our cars like within a week of each other. Same as your but DGM. I just broke 1k last week.

 

What both you guys should do is step up and trade me your stock suspension + some cash for my Cusco Zero 2e coilovers. Excellent condition with probably less than 5k miles on them. PM me if you're interested.

 

isnt it different from the sedans and wagon? i could be wrong!


and yes you guys got your cars a week apart! glad both of you are loving them!

 

IIRC, they both should fit, but I think the rear spring rates were different for the wagon. I also could be wrong. At least that's how it was on previous set ups though

 

hmm....... i thought D was gonna pick these up from you? do you have the e-con also?

 

D, who's that? In any case, nobody has shown any serious interest yet, so they're up for grabs. I'm mainly looking to swap stock '09+ WRX takeoffs + cash for these. As for the Econ, sorry I don't have that, but it is Econ compatible

 

Aloha and Congratulations for OVER 1K.
Mine just passed 1k last week and will kick in turbo after first oil change next week.
My friend recommend to do mission oil change after 1K also. Do I need to?.

 

Wow, I must be the idiot out of the 2011 owners huh. I went pretty much full-bore on my car the day I got her. I'm among the camp who believe you should break-in your car the way you intend to drive it. Hell, I was autocrossing it with paper plates and 350 miles!

Well, congrads none the less!

 

Lots of my friends used to think the same way too, back in our Honda days. Some swear by it.

 

fyi the new 2011 are running 5w30 syn. and no you dont need to do a change at 1k..... you can wait till 3k or 3months

 

Agreed especially with Bran & Joey... But congrats for fighting off the temptation.

 

lucky, i only have 620 miles on my 2011 Sti hatch, grrr...

 

I could be wrong but when I worked at Kaneohe Subaru our sister store was honda windward and there guys said that hondas motor are pre broken in. Only the s2k's weren't. I could be wrong tho. But also at Kaneohe we seen damage of suby's not being broken in properly.
