what kind of mods does the STI have?

Full 3in exhaust from headers all the way back. Upgraded top mount. Tuned for 20lbs. Suspension goodies. Puts like 330-40 to the wheels.

Does it have a header on it and up pipe or just a turboback? With the GT30R the car made a lot more power than the shop that the dyno was at and the tuner expected because of the header and up pipe, also had a very noticeably different exhaust note.

Headers and up pipe are upgraded.

Nice, I wanted to pick up an 05 myself and keep the power mods to intake/header/up pipe/turboback/hardpipes/tune and wondered what it would make. I figure I could control cost and keep it my DD if I restricted myself to the stock turbo.

It would make a great DD. So expensive to mod. He wanted to get a Termi but he needed a DD.

Same case with my friend - not too big a Fox/SN95 fan, but LOVES terminators. He started with Cobb turboback, intake, reflash, then borrowed some money from his parents combined with his own to do the GT30R and front mount and clutch and fuel system and all that, then it blew a few months later while he was still paying them back, so had to borrow more for the new engine, and somehow snuck a fuel pump, bigger turbo, bigger injectors, wheels, gauges, and seats in there, all top of the line DEFI stuff Cobra seats SSR wheels. I always make fun of him, he has at least $30K into that car and it doesn't even make 500whp (and other than clutch completely stock drivetrain and suspension so he's not even done yet, completely stock interior/exterior other than seats/wheels). Honestly though, loved that car since day 1, very envious.

I'd like that charcoal color since I've seen a few of them around here in the PA dirt/snow and the color looks the same clean or dirty :)

Thats why he is probably going to sell the STI and get A Termi. For the price he would drop into the STI the Termi would be low 11's high 10's. His dad also has a nasty Lightning. He just needs to wait till he pays of his GSXR so he can sell the STI.

So true. And no offense to my good friend Rich, but trying to go as fast as he is in a 4cyl is tough. Still has A/C and full interior, but the thing idles pretty high with the cams and the driveability part throttle can be very funky, ESPECIALLY when cold. When it warms up it's not too bad, but nothing I would deem acceptable in my car.

He won't take the car to the strip even just to fool around with me and make some test hits because he's so afraid of destroying his essentially stock drivetrain, and be forced to park the car or beg for more $$$.

Car is still so good looking though. Maybe I should find one and LS1 swap it. LOL.
