Default question?

i found a 05 sti i want. ive always wanted one and now since the truck is paid off and it feels like its going to take a shit on me i figured ill invest in one... i found one for 21k and it has the listed below things it has.


34k miles
whiteline lowering springs
18 rays g-games w/ toyo parada tires
aem intake
k & n filter
blitz nur spec exhaust
previous owner had the ecu re flashed

it shows 304 whp and 343 lbs torque

below is a pic of it


now my question to you is, is it worth the 21k? it is in mint condition... i already talked him down from what he's asking to 21k.

a little help please?

thats low mileage, and has the basics when it comes to mods. Sti are nice. Is it worth it, that is probably up to you.

depending on what dyno you use i dont think those numbers are unrealistic.

that is a very clean sti. and imo, the price seems good. if its in the shape you say it is, definetely go for it.

for me, i wouldn't buy a new one. I like to get offroad, and the bug eyes have stronger frame components (2002-2003) for thrashing about. Imagine the off road beast you could have if you spent $10k on the 02-03 wrx with 60k miles and dropped $11k into it... full blown rally car (almost)



if you are into street, then /\/\/\/\ is the car for you. You should have someone tune it specifically for your purposes... I had my torque/hp curve tuned lower RPM to help me thrash about in the sand. Worked like a charm!

It's not making that kind of power with just an intake and catback.

Highly doubtful.

Looks like a clean car,check the carfax and have a look at it in person and go from there.

I assume it is a turbo back, intake and tune. I made more than that with my car at those mods, so i believe it. Tq is a wee bit high... but whatever. Car looks dope man. buy it up!!!

While the numbers seem slightly high, I don't think they're unrealistic by any means. Where are you located?
