drove my STI with cobb's 93 octane stage1 OTS map. im still in the last few hundred miles of break-in so did not wot.

anyway i like the power delivery and being able to cruise like my Z at 1600+ rpm instead of before where i had to keep it around 2K. obc mpg went up from 19.5 to near 24 in one drive which was expected.

the only negative i felt was from a stand still, the initial throttle from no input to about 30% felt dead so it took a little getting use to the car again, nearly stalled in [I] mode. now running [S] mode.. will see how it goes when i open it up soon.

yah, i think im gonna get me one too. usually i dont like arm rests but on the STI, the short shifter allows a lot of elbow clearance so probably no issue with my elbow hitting it each 2,4,6 shifts.

worked on the rear jdm fog today.. not finished yet as i ran into a little bump..

i got the lamp itself installed along with one wire from trunk to driverside fuse box..


problem i ran into waz dat the impreza trim i bought dat has the extra hole for the fog sw is shaped differently for the interior dim dial... so i would not fit.

so i endedup drilling out the left hole and sanded it down nicely for a factory finish..
also wired up a red LED dat will light up when the rear fog is turned on..



this is how it would look at the end..


car looks like this right now..

From yahoo auto.. basically not much of a change and no affect for real STI folks who opt the high wing..

Opting for the 2017 WRX STI nets you a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-4 delivering 305 hp to all four wheels. The sole transmission on offer is a 6-speed manual and buyers can now choose a low-profile trunk spoiler as a no-cost option in place of the taller rear wing normally fitted to the WRX STI. Trim levels for this model include base and Limited.

Prices for the 2017 Subaru WRX start at $27,515 while for the WRX STI you’re looking at a starting price of $36,015. Both figures include an $820 destination charge.

yah, the STI's factory horns sound like crap.. but they are pretty loud though.

recommend u swap the left side mirror lens with one for the JDM passenger side (RHD). my wife picked one up for me while in japan. no more blind spots!!
