2005 subaru STi

i hope that they continue to market the STi in America.
1. I hope they rid of all the little problems like knocking and GIVE US AN AMAZING SOUND SYSTEM. i love the sound of the engine 24-7 and all, but i'm sure everybody here wants to listen to music when the drive

2. give me more time to save up for it.

Not everyone wants to pay $1,000 US for a radi w/CD player.
I for one do not and am glad Subaru has given me the choice to go with some other option. If you really need a radio the dealer will be happy to install for you and wrap it into your loan.

As for knocking its a known that 93 RON fuel is required for this vehicle. Seek out a name brand supplier (i.e. Mobil) and budget for the added cost.

To help save up for it quickly before supplies run out give a thought to selling your blood ($), sperm ($$), and time ($$$) on the side.

Good luck...

This may or may not help but some 76 stations offer Racing gasoline. Its rated at 100 octane and you may be able to find a table that shows x parts 91 + y parts racing gas = actual octane. If anyone wants I can scan in the brochure I got from the Sema show. If you want to find a station that has it check http://www.76.com , however I dont think they do a good job listing all the stations, the one by my house is not listed so if anyone else has a better method go ahead. Hope this helps

Good info! ^^

If its not to much trouble it would be great if you could scan & post the flyer as well as cross-post it at NASIOC for all to see.

Thanks,

There are only a select few stations that carry this. As far as South Orange County people, there is a station that has this 100 octane off the 5 fwy at La paz. Its the brand new station next to McDonalds and the Wienerschnietzel (spelling?). I told the guy that by my house there is no rating on the pump. He said people like to tear them off for themself and that they are all 100 octane (at the time he said this). One bummer about the gas is I believe they do put ethanol in this gas. Btw i got this spec sheet off of the 76 guys at the Sema LAIAS about 2 months ago.

I put 91 octane in mine and it runs fine. Mind you I live at 7500ft so it might change things a little. I know of only one pump that will serve anything higher than 91 octane within a 50 mile radius. I have never bought any because there seems no need.
