    FS: MA - Unused Optima Yellow Top Battery

    Brand new Optima Yellow Top battery. Never used or been put in the car. Asking $180 OBO. You can pick up or I'll drive up to 50 miles to meet mid way. (I'm in Framingham, MA) If you're wondering why its never been used, here's the story. I had a Yellow Top in my STi when my transmission...

    HELP: In Need of Cosmetic Help or a New England Subaru Shop

    Well the little bumper trim bits (the things that have the aero-bulge behind the fog light covers) are first. I could use a technical term for them if there is one. The clips that hold them in place are broken or missing in various places on both sides. By that I mean the clips that are actually...

    HELP: In Need of Cosmetic Help or a New England Subaru Shop

    I'll try to keep the explanation concise. I have a 2005 white STi. I bought it used a year ago and it's had a slew of subtle but worsening issues with cosmetics and electronics since I bought it. It was clearly in a small accident that went unreported before I bought it. The trim things on the...

    WTB: OEM Compressor-to-TMIC Y-Pipe Elbow

    It's the red silicone elbow that goes from the turbo compressor to the y-pipe on the TMIC. I'm only interested in the OEM one in good condition.

    COBB Stage 2 - How Bad is Humidity?

    No it happens predominantly in 2nd and maybe 3rd. If I ease on the throttle and go to full it doesn't happen. Only if I throttle suddenly.

    COBB Stage 2 - How Bad is Humidity?

    Right. I get the loss in power and it doesn't bother me, as it's expected. What I want to know is if that would be the cause of the rough running that I'm experiencing (which is mostly prominent off boost but heavy on the throttle).

    Fluttering Sound During Even Boost

    Awesome, thanks. Clearly sounds much worse than it is.

    Fluttering Sound During Even Boost

    Recently went to COBB Stage 2 and I'm peaking at 20.1psi. If in higher gears (where I can go mid-throttle for a good few seconds before getting through the gear) and I go mid throttle and boost to anywhere in the 10-20psi range I will hear a fluttering sound along with the air rushing sound of...

    COBB Stage 2 - How Bad is Humidity?

    Couldn't quite determine where this should go but this seemed logical since the tune has a lot to do with the air entering the car. I recently installed a 3" downpipe and flashed my 05 STi to Stage 2. The evening I did it and the following day it was around 70 degrees and humidity was pretty...

    Tire Pressure Street vs AutoX - Z1 Star Specs

    Auto-X is a bit more abuse than I want to put my car through regularly. I'm a reliability freak so the idea of Auto-X messes with me a bit. I'd rather get out on a road course once a year if there were a good local one. With just a strut tower brace, my STi is pretty neutral. If I ease into a...
