View Full Version : rode in an STI today!!!
It was black with gold paint flakes on it ... beutifull! Gold rims BBS HUGE HUGE brakes, and the interior was better in person! The car had a you cant destroy me feel and felt solid! When he accelerated (only to 6000 rpm .. breaking in ..had 240 miles on it.)
I felt the massive torque in my chest, the shifting was fast and solid, a clunk was heard when you shifted ... the LSD locking, and the front of the car lifted(like muscle car wise) when you barely touched the car. the hood scoop from the interior looked BAD ASS and the car had a rumble to it and a growl at the touch of the accelerator.
What was even better he said his woman wanted it more than him ... and gladly accepted the car instead of a ring lol ,
I only wish i could find a woman like that. THE STI is an incredible fine tuned import i highly recomend getting behind the wheel of one.

The Clunking noise mean he was letting the clutch go to fast.
Tell him to hold the shift a little more.

Yeah, I raced one of em, the power the guy had in any RPM range was amazing... To think, I was real close to tradin in my celi for one of those last summer, but I loved my celi too much... Looks are unbeatable.

Especially since here in the States we get an EJ25T. 2.5 Liters of DCCD, AVCS, and Twin Scroll Turbo.
6:00 PM here in orlando ... just got back from COCO beach .. women (beutifull women ... got 1 #:evil: ),nice cars, saw a the new lamborgini in yellow, drank some great pina coladas, and chilled in the ocean beutifull day
The best part of the day ................... still the DRIVE in the STI .. im in love, now need to test drive the RX-8
Oh and the black was very beutifull ... the gold paint specs made the black look more graphite silver at an angle.

i want to give jenny craig's number to the STI driver. thats a loss of about 5% performance with his fat ass sitting in it.

My little brother went from a 2002 celica GT to an EVO 8. i went home last weekend and drove it a couple of times, and was in it maybe 5 times as a passenger. That car.......is wicked. Id imagine the STI is pretty much the same thing. AMAZING trq and power,sound, braking, handleing like its on frikken rails, stiff ass porsche like suspension. i'm in love. It also lurches forward under normal driving, has very hard shift; bangs gears pretty hard. I need to drive the STI see how it measure up :)
