Sup room....first time here at i-club and i jus wanted to say i jus got my 2004 wrx sti [black with silver (was told gunmetal but got silver instead)]..... earlier this morning 4-24-03.... got a call saying its ready for pick up at the dealer so i went down, and after a few hours, got the car for the msrp.... i was told im the first one in the state of hawaii so dat was cool....but yah ill post some pix as time goes by....im jus tired after breaking it in for a while....

and some of the main things ppl wanted to noe bout US spec STi....just ask....some stuff off the top of my head:
- NO STEREO!!!
- no center pass through arm rest in the back
- mine didnt come with floormats, hopefully theyre getting some (said they would call)
- HID's baby (height adjustable bout 4 settings if i remember)
- seats are a lil bigger than the regular 04 wrx which is a good thing to me

Still getting used to the feeling, but once u got it down....dis cars all gravy baby.....cant explain.....i aint gonna race this car unless tempted cuz dis is my baby, but it feels lyke it could spank a lot of cars while im breaking it in.....jus luv it! I never test drove the evo but who cares, theyre actually marking that 10g over msrp here...or so subaru claims....but anyways....ive been typing too much so peace out every1....love this car....

 

There have been unsubstantiated rumours flying around that Subaru (SOA ?) were holding something back in terms of spec/equipment i.e. a nice surprise we weren't expecting and has so far gone unpublicized.........noticed anything in terms of spec/equipment that came as standard and was a total surprise (hope they didn't give you heated seats like Canada !!).....

 

Any chance you could post the wheel offset of the BBS rims......should be emossed on the wheel somewhere, for example ET48 or ET50 ??????

Thanks.

 

Congrats! Pics please!!! May I ask also if you paid MSRP or over?

 

I think it's 53mm, but I'm just quoting from memory.

 

sweeeeT!!!


congrat man. u r the first!!!


now questions...

HiD lens.. Projector or reflector type?

turbo #

how s that scoop holding on??

caught any birds w/ that vaccum yet? *grin*

how are those 070 tires?? kicks S 03 s or what?

Hawaii has 2.5 right?// how s the low end grunt?

 

P2X,

I think 53mm may be the offset for the WRX 7" wheels. However, could also be the same for 7.5", but could equally be 48 or 50 mm.
I think it's best to stay as close to stock offset as possible.

 

Is the trunk aluminum or steel? Do a magnet test.

And what is that extra feature, if any?

 

You should be able to find out on scoobynet.co.uk, as they have the new chassis STI there already..

 

If anyone wants to buy my stock STi radio I will sell it for less than half the 800 they are asking. I'm in canada ao, I'll be getting the factory stereo. Kind of nice while I hunt and shop for the one I want to put in.
