New STI Uber-ing in Columbia MO

I have had my 2017 STI Limited for about 2 months and love it. It had a Cobb access port, Invidia cat back, and cold air intake (not sure on brand) already installed when I bought the car that was supposedly all stock. Pretty pleased with the mods. They void the power train warranty, but, hey, now I don't have to wait before I mess with it.

So yeah, I am using the car to Uber from 8pm - 4am about 5 days a week. I mostly drive the college kids around and they love it. I can't go past 4am though or I run into cranky ladies that hate it, lol.

Trying to figure out where I want to go with mods from here. Currently running Cobb Stage 1+SF for 93 Octane map with out problems and getting good performance. Not sure why they went with just cat back and not turbo back, but I'm still trying to understand all this since this is MY FIRST TURBO! Pretty excited about that.

Hey so your power train warranty isn't totally toast: https://www.igotasti.com/vBforum/th...-i-do-to-it-without-jeopardizing-the-warranty

Cat back is MUCH easier to install than a full turbo back so that could be a reason. I tell everyone to not forget about suspension mods, so keep those in mind. I think I'd be too protective of my car to want to let a bunch of drunk randos in the back, but I'd definitely like to get chauffered in one!

Get any cool comments, or people goading you to let er rip?

Welcome to IGOTASTI!!! You're going to absolutely love it here!! What other cars have you had in the past?! Man, your car looks great and I'm sure everyone loves it!

How is it working for Uber? Are there things that you don't know about the business until you actually delve into it and fully experience it? You basically drive for fun at this point AND GET PAID FOR IT!!! :tup:
