collegemt Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 So I pulled the trigger. I traded in my 2008 WRX for a 2006 STI in great shape. After 2 late nights working until 2 AM to demod my car (while my wife and son were sleeping) the 08 WRX was ready for trade in. I didn't plan on buying the STI quite this soon, but someone else was going to buy it (not sure if it is true or not, you never know with dealers). 2008 WRX: bye bye; http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/028-1.jpg 2006 STI: http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/005-4.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/002-2.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/003-3.jpg Brembos: to swap these into my 08 WRX was going to be 3k. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/004-4.jpghttp://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/006-3.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/007-6.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/008-7.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/009-5.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/010-6.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/011-5.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/012-4.jpg 6 speed baby. The tranny feels awesome. It shifts 10 times better than my 08 WRX did, much less play and very effortless. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/013-3.jpg I think the car drank to mcuh redbull. "redbull gives you wings" right? http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/014-3.jpg The downside: My wide isn't very happy with me. She thinks I am only concerned with myself and why would i want to buy a car that is 2 years older and has more miles and cost more money. Who knows why, I might be crazy. Let me know whter you think, Adam Oh yeah and someone buy my downpipe so I can buy a downpipe for the STI please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collegemt Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 You are a very selfish man! Congrats on your new ride, hope the seats are comfortable as you may just be sleeping in them. very true. I need to go stage 2 ASAP. The car is very quite and it doesn't have the sanp like a stage 2 car would have. It is fast, just not real snappy.

pre-dent Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I personally would have kept the 08, but that STi looks pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieBlkOut Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I really wanted a STI when I bought my ride but I had to think responsibly and not spend so much and get such a race car. They look sooooo good though and it was a blast to test drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 That is too hot, that is my favorite color and body style of the sti. The head unit looks really clean in there also. Congratulations brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHolladay23 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 haha I got the same crap from my g/f and mom when I traded my 07 2.5i 4EAT for my 06 spec.B. They were mad for a couple weeks then after my mom drove it and my girlfriend rode in it a few times they both changed their minds [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
