Have any of you boys picked up your STi from Van Bortel in NY, and if so what price did you pay? How did the delivery process go?

I paid 3k over MSRP. I can justify it just 'cause I'm an impulsive buyer. Steve had the Silver I wanted with all options except CF Trim Kit. Since my last check engine light went off, it happened again. This time the problem was caused by the turbo blowing a vacume hose off. (Hidden in down near the alternator). I brought it in this AM and had it back by 10:30. The service is great. They are also on a learning curve with the new Sti. They did put a better hose and clamps on.

 

Picked up my silver sti in Danbury on Saturday......grin just won't seem to go away

 

Picked mine up in Subaru of Nashua (NH) on thursday. They wanted $4G over msrp on tuesday...so I walked from the deal. They called me back on thursday offering sticker..so I picked it up. All I can say is SWEET!!!

 

I saw two in the lot for IRA Subaru on 114 in Peabody, MA.

I spoke for a while with the sales manager, and he said that they have had 11 STis come through their lots (that was a week or two ago). The two I saw were a blue w/silver that was sold and a silver w/silver that was 1k over MSRP (probably so that they have some bargaining room to get down tom MSRP).

Oh and so no one gets confused, they moved! It went from next to Toyota down to the old Mazda building across from Lexus. He said there would be test drives coming end of July.

 

In Virginia Beach, the STI's are going for 34-37k. I found one on ebay in CT for 32k and bought it. Picking it up in a couple weeks. New England must not have the demand.

BTW, check out my 99 RS for $7,000 with very nice mods. If it doesn't sell, then I'm trading (for only 5k) when I pick the STI up in CT. Thank-you New England.

 

I love me STi it goes so dam fast i dont kno why i did this but me and my friend he has a nice souped-up maxima and i had my sweet *** STi souped up too my HP is like 420@7000 rpms and his was 400@? (i guess he didnt kno) anyway we were in chelsea , MA and it was about 11:30 and the highway was pretty clear so we started at on-ramp and we punched it omg we were goin so fast i wasnt even lookin at my mph i was just lookin at the road and my rpm's tryin to time my shiftin just right, it was such a close race the rac ended at kappys liquors in saugus , MA i think it was like 2-3 miles of pure speed , well it wasnt really a race just to see how fast and **** our cars went anyway i won by a cars lengh awayafter that went for a slow drive and we saw another race goin on they were goin in the opposite direction heading to chelsea i think it was 2 hondas or some ****.

 

Just curious but what kind of mods do you have to bump an STi up to 420 HP, and is that CHP or WHP?

Also, how are these mods affecting detoation in your car if any?

Lastly, you do know that street racing isn't cool?

Thanks,

i kno it was stupid of me to race but it wasnt a race just to see how fast it would go, and my "mods" i have a K&N typhoon intake , turboXS frontmounted intercooler, APEX-I exhaust, SSR clutch and i might have been exajurating on 420 and thats WHP

 

sorry CHP

 

Hey, can you post pics of the fron mount?!
You are the first STi owner I've heard of to actually do the conversion.

How hard/easy was it to convert and how much time did it take?
Did you keep the hood stock?

- Janq

 

yes i kept the hood stock and i didnt do it i brought it to a preformance garage and they put it in because i didnt want to mess with it because u kno how the stock intercooler is in the back of the engine bay thats empity and its just i think 2-3 hoses runnin from the front intercooler the front intercooler to the engine

 

A family member of mine saw an STI in New Haven about a week ago with ,...get this...a SUNROOF!! The owner had it custom installed!! Wonder what the heck that costs?!
