Any local modified STIs?

Hi all,

I am looking to modify my STI with some simple bolt-ons and wanted to hear from people who have already done so. I have done a search on various forums, so I do have an idea of what I want but would like to hear from some of the local guys as well. In addition, I would be willing buy you lunch/dinner if you would be willing to meet up and take me for a ride-along. I would like to experience some of these mods first hand before I buy them.

If you have any of the following modifications on your STI, I would very much like to hear about your experiences with them.

ECU Reflash
Turbo Back Exhaust
Suspension
Wheels

Thanks, Darren.

There are quite a few actually, and most of the local STis have a reflash, exhaust, or suspension work done by Subaru Specialists in Sacramento (the ones with the banner at the top of this forum ). "Stage 1" STis with a reflash, full turboback, and intake have made 275whp.290wtq and adding headers to one similar car made 310wtq.

Yes, you'll be looking for Nate. You can also PM Aaron@S-S on the board here or post up in S-S's forum to ask questions before you go.

Yup, stop by anytime. Some of the other STi owners will chime in here shortly.....

And of course, let me know if you have any questions.

I'll be in SAC all weekend with one of the said Stage 1 SS STi's..It will be at Import Motion most of the time, but buzzing around Subaru Specialist on Friday if you want to check it out.

Honestly, I could not be happier with my current setup...the amount of power pulled from the limited # of Mods is incredible...you'll see.

LagnWagn,

Can you tell me what time you are going to be around Subaru Specialist on Friday? That would be great to be able to check out the shop and your car all in one shot.

Thanks, Darren.

Darren, I will be there from Opening at 8Am, until its time to go to import Motion (I'd say at least until 3 PM).. But that's up in the air...So, If you came in the morning or around lunch, I'm sure to be there.

Sorry, been out skiing all week with a friend from Chicago. He just about crapped his pants when we got in my car.

Simple mods and huge torque. Nate is the man.
