Wink My 04 STi as it progresses...

I’ll try and make an effort to catalog the modifications to my 04 STi in this thread on an ongoing basis. For the time being though, we’ll have to play catch-up. Here she is just after delivery at the end of March, 2004:

p.s.: all of my modifications are documentated, with pics and instructions on my website. I lost my web hosting service so it will be a couple of weeks before I have enough time to find a new host and upload the pics and webpages. I’ll update this thread once I have that done.

Where does it ever end? In my quest to get back to the same power levels as my Vishnu Stage 2 WRX wagon, I opted for a full 3” Vishnu TBE and ECUtek reflash. The exhaust pics are still in the camera, but here are the dyno plots:

Nice work so far. I really do like your favorite purchase. I think those wheels look sick. How much did you have to pay for them, and where did you pick them up, if you don't mind me asking

I got the Da'Lan hitch and Tire Tail. It works awesome for taking your race wheels to the track.
