mods?
not very many
upgraded the front strut bar, added a rear strut bar...nice and stiff! :P
had a cold air intake (AEM) but removed it. seems as though top end gain was good. however, midrange torque defnitely suffered. so i ended up removing it and reverting back to stock air box.
added a spoon sports n1 cat-back exhaust...am looking for a spoon sports 4-2-1 exhaust manifold soon.
and of course the te-37's with azenis rubber.
...slowly but surely...

try the AEM cold air intake V2-its got 2 pipes so it has this thing with better sound waves (diff sound waves supposedly produce a few more hp/torque) and its supposed to produce a few more HP than the original...i dont know what it will do to midrange but research it

thanks gang for the kind words!
i'm contemplating between an exhaust manifold...or a higher final drive gear set and a lighter flywheel...
the STi is very nice. and the numbers are very good! but, i actually prefer the older front fascia versus the new, which have the smoothed out light cluster. otherwise, if i had extra $, i'd get one of those! :thumbup:
