'07 Satin White Pearl STI - My Final Project
This thread will track the progress of my final Subaru project, as this will be my 4th and last Subaru I will own(hopefully . . .)
I have owned a 2002 PSM WRX sedan, a 2002 PSM WRX wagon, a 2005 CGM STI a (2005 Evo MR - my 1 cross-over to the other side) and now finally, this beautiful SWP '07 STI . . . all over the last 2 1/2 years! Obviously I have a thing for cars, especially fast ones!
Just picked up this 2007 STI about a month ago and I couldn't resist because I really think the Pearl color is beautiful and unique, you just don't see too many in this color.
Here are the current mods on the vehicle:
The car runs pretty good, but could be a lot better and will be once Paul at dbTuned is done working his magic.
Here are some of the mods planned for the near future:
I will post new photos once the work has been completed, hopefully in the next couple weeks. . . . if I bug Paul enough!!

What modifications had been performed at the time the car was dynoed? Versus what parts you've added since. I'd like to see the numbers on a Dynojet and after any new changes, just for fun.

I have the dyno sheets showing the numbers, however I am suspicious as to the accuracy because it was performed by a non-Subaru specialist. We'll see how the numbers stack up once I make all the mods I have planned and get it on the dyno to tune.
