DMNDSTAR87 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well after wrapping my truck around a pole I needed a new vehicle.I have had 4x4 trucks forever but have become fond of the WRX over the past few years so I bit the bullet and picked this car up.Its a 2013 WRX STI.The all wheel drive is great in the snow and is the next best thing to 4x4.This thing is a freakin' rocketship and handles like a slot car.I picked up a complete Invidia exhaust and upgraded the swaybars to larger diameter Perrins.Cant wait till the snow is gone so I can really test the limits of this car.---Nothing wrong with having 2 rocketships in my garage.Hope they can get along---lol thx for lookinggig out http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsy95iykyp.jpg<a href="http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/dmndstar87/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpshwtuwsfw.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpshwtuwsfw.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zpshwtuwsfw.jpg"/></a><a href="http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/dmndstar87/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsudjd1xlc.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsudjd1xlc.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zpsudjd1xlc.jpg"/></a><a href="http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/dmndstar87/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsqhwf4fzh.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsqhwf4fzh.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zpsqhwf4fzh.jpg"/></a> Edited June 25, 2015 by DMNDSTAR87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice ride. Try not to show it too much love, the Quest might get jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice ride. Try not to show it too much love, the Quest might get jealous. Or worse, dont park them too close or it may catch "blown headgasket-nitis" from the Conquest! I transport the new model STI's to the dealership after they have been converted to ESX Package. Makes me wish I had $63k to drop on a Subie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had those sucker loaded on my roll back. Treated them with extreme caution. The workmanship is excellent. Its basically the Subaru equivalent of Shelby for Mustangs.

DMNDSTAR87 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Picked up a COBB acessport for my STI... Man I wish it was this easy to tune my Starion.This gadget reads and clears trouble codes,estimates HP and TQ, records 0-60 times... 1/4 mile times,records over 100 engine parameters, can display upto 6 live monitors at once, launch control, flatfoot shift,data logs.The best feature is I can reflash a new MAP in about 2 minutes to the ECU.The unit comes loaded with specific Maps for certain modification upgrades or a Valet mode that reduces the power to engine so nobody can beat on it or an economy map if I was going on a long haul and wanted to maximize fuel mileage.Hell of a unit for any of u Subaru guys...this item gets " Gigs" stamp of approval....I'm trying to upload a pic from my phone but having some trouble...stay tuned..

DMNDSTAR87 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Here is a pic.. I actually figured out how to do it...Can anyone guess what kind of car that is in the garage . I think it's a Supra... LolGig out Edited June 25, 2015 by DMNDSTAR87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 My buddy used to have an 05 STI with the accessport. That thing was really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I got some COBB training last year, it was pretty neat stuff. Far harder to hack the various ECU's out there and make changes than it is to rip the factory stuff out and start over with aftermarket. They are smart enough to not "brick" the factory ECU in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87redcat Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 My buddy has an 07 wrx. love that car. He watched a lot of utube vids of these guys in NJ. all they did was tune subbies. like 700+ HP... everything was bro, bro, bro... insane...

cheesey Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I always pick on my buddies out of envy about Cobb. Step 1. Buy Cobb access port.Step 2. Plug it in. Step 3. Put Cobb sticker on your w.r.xStep 4. Buy flat brimmed ken block hat and add more energy drink stickers.Cool whip though these things grip hard on the track.
