lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 can I restart my thread I don't wanna leave yet, you guys are pretty damn cool. Truth is my car is slow and I'm sad about it. Cleveland PD can suck a fat one because that video was recorded in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowImg Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The funny part is that you for some reason tend to think that an entire community of owners of these things collectively has no idea how fast they are, and that you, by yourself, are the one true holder of this knowledge. Also, if the previous owner legitimately ran a 13.5 1/4 in it, you're going to want to save up for a new transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 ^^^ the 5mt has no problem handling runs at 13.5.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Actually the owner beat up the tranny hard with launches, I never launched the car before and don't plan on it. He told me the transmission was rebuilt and then he sold the car, still covered by warranty, but it's holding together solid, no grinds and no lift shift is smooth. Now, when it comes to the Evo and the STI I did beat them, maybe not car for car, but when it came to driver, I did...which isn't a bad thing just shows I have a least some what decent skill. I try not to beat the car hard, I cruise a lot, which is why I opted for the Legacy vs the STI. Can anyone tell me, how much larger is the 2011 STI turbo vs the one we have? Like I make 245whp on my turbo at 17psi, at 17psi on the STI turbo I'd make roughly...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 ^I smoke lamps. Anyways, BMX045...that's interesting, would the motor handle the STI turbo if I were to get a FMIC? I had a tuner company contact me, said for $5,000 they could get me an FP green turbo, fuel upgrade and make me 350awhp and 400tq... to pricey.

whitetiger Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 $5K? holy crap! you can do that for under $2k and there is nothing special about the sti turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I see, I'm just wondering because my buddy is upgrading his 2011 STI to a bigger turbo, so his will be for sale and it has very low miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I see I see, I'm happy with the way the car is and it puts a smile on my face, so it'll be left a lone in till it's probably paid off. Thanks for the information everyone, sorry if I pissed anyone off, and you're welcome if I made you laugh and kept you busy during work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lol slow Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I will try to get some videos of me and the EVO X, just for some further...research. Maybe my turbo ISN'T stock?! who knows, previous owner said it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
