Invidia sounds really good, but it's loud!

Tuned four cylinder, turbo motors make torque nowadays. He could easily make the STI as fast as the Z...however, that's not excuse for selling the Z

I guess there is really no excuse except immured and want a new toy lol. Kris you have to find me those sa55m's in black/red haha. It sucks they don't make them. I'm probably going with invidias full exhaust, kw coils and a set of sa55m's but what intake should I go with and who can do a pro tune in so cal?

Sorry had the day off and been looking at parts for the gvb all day lol

djpathfinder · 10-17-2011, 07:45 PM

As it is, the stock STi is a little slower than my modded Z. With the DP, CBE and Cobb AP, it'll beat my Z for sure, sadly.

djpathfinder · 10-17-2011, 07:46 PM

...damn it! I didn't want to go down the forced induction route with my Z...

djpathfinder · 10-17-2011, 09:48 PM

Are you looking at 18" or 19"? SA55M are nice. So are SA60M

What is gvb?

ilive2win · 10-18-2011, 12:05 AM

I'm looking at the 18's but I'm going to go aggressive. I made the mistake of going with 19's with the evo

Do the sa60m's come in black/red or did they stop those too?

Gvb is the chassis code for the sedan. Grb is the hatch 08+

What were you unhappy with with 19" and the Evo?

Oh, I thought the STi sedan was still a "GR" body...I'm behind the times.

I believe gr stands for the third generation sti, not the chassis code

The 19 inch wheels didnt handle like the 18's do on the evo. The 18's feel a lOt better to me on the evo. It's probably the same for the sti

Everyone needs new toys. I sold my z for a 135i (n54) and certainly enjoy the turbo and torque. Nick (esfourteen) prob had me in mind when he mentioned your gonna love tq.

My 135 is pretty damn fast and I ran into a built motor sti hatch with an fp red on e85 and the thing was an absolute monster. Sounds beautiful as well.

He's gotta be on the forums plate is v8killa from NY and has cambered out ssr's I believe. Def a super hot car done right.

Good luck

19's would probably look good on the STi especially if lowered, but not at the cost of hindering function and handling.

19's do look good but I want it to handle. I'm sticking to 18's this time lol. The z sale is pending. Hope I can get into the sti next week. I found a '12 sedan here that I have my eye on
