:goodjob::goodjob::goodjob: Nice and clean :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:

[E=MC²]

car looks super clean with those wheels and nice job on the 9.5"

good stuff.

[quickdodge®]

Looks like a lowered STi, lolol. Nothing more, nothing less. Later, QD.

[Echonova]

Is that Stance, Flush or Hella Flush? I always get confused.

[slow_hatch]

Looks good. If you get them in 5x100 I want to try them on my Legacy to see how they fit.:D

[bdydrpdmazda]

Is that Stance, Flush or Hella Flush? I always get confused.
Hella flush with no stretched sidewalls...

[ATLTSX]

Your title - lol

The car - Looks very nice.

[bdydrpdmazda]

Dont hate, 9.5 inch wide wheels and tires out back and up front is whats up...

[DVSRX-7]

looks good.

[Kellen]

i have those specs on my honda right now, welcome to 2008 buddy.

[h23bb2]

i have those specs on my honda right now, welcome to 2008 buddy.
At all 4 corners? With as much tire as the OP???

[sprix!]

The car looks great, but I have to reiterate the point that there is nothing all that remarkable about the wheel specs.

[changaroo]

its not even his car luls.

[punkr6]

its not even his car luls.

Bha ha ha hahahahahahaha :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

[green91]

Way to buy the cheapest shit tires on the market lol.

[Mantooth]

Love everything except the mirrors, and the fact that it's an '04. Not my favorite year Sti...lol

[bdydrpdmazda]

never said it was, didnt realize it had to be for me to post some pics of it in the car pics section...

[bdydrpdmazda]

You cant be serious, in 06 when they changed the front ends they look awful and the new ones are nice but Im not a huge fan of hatchbacks...

The 2004 and 2005 was by far the best looking STi sold in the states...

[bdydrpdmazda]

The '05 is my favorite. There are certain things I didn't like about my '04.
Like no factory radio?

[Mantooth]

Like no factory radio?Eh, not so much. The cupholder, pink emblems, skinnier tires and rear end. That's all I can think of right now.

[bdydrpdmazda]

Eh, not so much. The cupholder, pink emblems, skinnier tires and rear end. That's all I can think of right now.
the 04 got better performance ratings though...

[Homer Simpson]

i love advan rs'! I love advan rz's more though!

[Mantooth]

the 04 got better performance ratings though...Yeah, the '04 was rawer. I had a lot of fun in it, but I loved the way my '06 was setup, sans the torque split. Almost bought an '05, but decided to get a new one ('06).

[csmiths]

PLEASE........ first off that has weaker offsets then the wheels i already have and i could fit those all day. Like a glove.

[quickdodge®]

Dont hate, 9.5 inch wide wheels and tires out back and up front is whats up...

Hate is bred from jealousy. I'm not jealous of that car, lolol.


never said it was, didnt realize it had to be for me to post some pics of it in the car pics section...

Lolol. I was wondering why people thought it was yours. Later, QD.

[gtikid]

I fail to see what Honda's need not try?

usually first off is followed by second off...

second off... you're an idiot.

You obviously don't know very much about Subaru's.


the 04 got better performance ratings though...

Apparently you don't know very much about them either, lol
Oh and way to post pics of a car that isn't your own, way to blatantly copy somebody else.

I never claimed it was mine you fucking fuck, mine is clearly pictured in my sig looking nothing like this except the color. Lie I said earlier, I didnt now I was only allowed to post pics of my car in the car pics section, I was under the impression that it was open to all pics of cars, youll have to excuse my ignorance...

And how in the fuck am I copying somebody else? My car looks absolutely nothing like this thing, it is bone stock, I will be sure not to purchase a set of wheels that have ever been put on another Subaru though, shouldnt be that hard...

agreed

[Mantooth]

agreedYou must either A. Not have seen an Sti before or B. You're blind.

It has aftermarket wheels, lip/body kit, reverse hood scoop, aftermarket mirrors, fmic, and that's all I can think of without looking at the pic again.

That car probably has $20k sunk into it, not including the car itself.:goodjob:

Yes, I am ignorant for posting pics of a nice car in the car pics section and my "panties" are clearly in a wad because I left you some red reps for being an idiot. Im sorry if my thread title hurt your feelings...

waste of $20k if you ask me...unless it's got a grown man under the hood:D

but from what you mentioned, hood is ugly, mirrors are fugly, body kit is decent at best. Wheels and stance are good, fmic's are a dime a dozen now so it's nothing that I pay any attention unless I see what else is done to the engine.

[Mantooth]

waste of $20k if you ask me...unless it's got a grown man under the hood:DI'm sure it's probably making around 400whp+.

I ran a 12.60 @107.84 in my sti and I had $16k into the car, but only about $5k under the hood, including installation of exhaust, methanol kit, intake, and tune. Still on the stock turbo and top mount too.

Ohhh sweet, so he did what all the Honda guys did back in the 90's.... Cool bruh!!!The Honda guys still do it. I'm sure it has a hell of a punch under the hood as well. I don't like the mirrors or the body kit, but the '04 hood scoop is annoying as fuck. It has to be better to drive with the reverse scoop.:goodjob:

ok i retract my previous statement about you having the weakest comeback. This is honestly embarrassing. You drive an sti fool not a fucking lambo. That car is just as easily attainable for me as my si is. Please step down off your high horse because your own thread bit you in the ass.





And your car will never look as good as the one that you posted.

Aggressiveness not found. How can you be aggressive with skinny ass stretched tires. LOL.

It is amazing how a thread title can get peoples panties in a bunch. If it would have just been about the STi everyone would be saying how good it looked instead of trying to pick it apart.

[ATLTSX]

lolol @ butthurt honda boys

lol you own 2 hondas based off of your sig.

the sti looks good without that spoiler

your point is?

[S13_Chody]

how dare a honda have a wider wheel and tires bigger than a 235!!!

need not resize do to lake of honda love in here i want OP to be able to notice the amzingness skeating from this one!

i do, and that's why i find it hilarious. i love honda's to death, but i understand that they are by no means better than anything else. when someone owns ONLY a honda, and has a napoleon complex, then its the best vehicle ever produced on this planet.

that's a pretty good looking STi in the OP. I like the front lip.

[alpine_aw11]

Ohhh sweet, so he did what all the Honda guys did back in the 90's.... Cool bruh!!!

Yea, but the difference is Sti's look way better than all Hondas do. The requirements to make it look perfect aren't as steep as your everday grocery getter Honda because it has way more style to begin with. S2000's and the newer Civic Si's are the only exception.

[jdm eg6]

i like the color of the wheels

what happens when someone does that when they own only a sti? is it acceptable? it seems that only the honda people get called out because we are the easiest to be hated on

That car is far from rice, the body kit is more like a lip kit, I will agree that 20K invested is prolly waaaay far fetched though but it is far from a shitty STi, I think it is very tastefully modded. I have also returned your REPS...

You can have your tastes, but you shouldn't go around making stupid comments about cars that are a lot nicer than yours.

Prime example of why people hate on Hondas, because no matter how slow and boring they are most of you idiots think your sweet ass grocery getter is hot shit. Just because you can only afford to have a "clean" Honda(which I'm pretty sure is the reason they got so big in the first place, they're cheap as shit) doesn't mean it's better than anything on the road.

disclaimer: I like Hondas. I just don't see any reason to glorify them.

Dude, grow up. I am allowed to make fun of the car in the original post no matter how much more it cost than my car.

Doesn't everyone on here make fun of all the donks riding around ATL? Well, a lot of them have way more money into them than our cars(as a whole), right?

And my car is my car. It isn't necessarily stock. have I done a lot to it? No. I decided to spend my money on suspension and quite a few stereo setups. Idk when you decided to pull my car into this and I am not sure why you really did.

If I had any other honda than an LS Integra, believe me, it would be modded out. I just like my car in it's mostly stock forum way too much.

And I'm allowed to make fun of yours if you make a comment that I find unintelligent. It's just the internet brotana. I do not disrespect any car that has quality work done to it, because that's what has brought the car scene down in the first place. This whole "if you can't get an ebay ripoff of a part, it's rice" shit is going way too far. And the number one offenders just so happen to drive slow, stock looking Hondas. When I had my Civic that was mostly stock I would not have had the audacity to make fun of any well built vehicle, regardless of whether I actually liked it or not. Just sayin'.

Kevin:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

Seriously?! I'm an idiot?!

I had $16k in mods in my '06 sti, stock turbo and methanol. No body kit, no fmic, no ugly ass mirrors, and I still had the stock hood. I venture to say the car in question has all kinds of bushings, aftermarket clutch, bigger turbo, guages, short throw, maybe even a built motor. The lip (kit), wheels, mirrors, hood, and other fancy non-go fast parts cost probably $10k alone, not to mention $2k+ for coilovers, more than likely.

I suggest you know who you're calling an idiot before you open your cockholster, kid.:2cents:

Most of the people on here don't realize how much money really goes into actually modding a car. It is easy to put 20k into a car and not even realize it. I've got a little over 6k in my talon and it still looks stock except for wheels.

What does that fuck know about modding a car anyway, he drives a stock integra...:lmfao:

My STi is stock but out of all the cars Ive owned they have all been heavily modified, the only reason the STi is still stock is because everything for it is expensive as fuck, its going in the shop this coming weekend though for the first time ever...

the only reason the STi is still stock is because everything for it is expensive as fuck


Like I said. Real modding costs real money.:cheers:

[Mantooth]

Like I said. Real modding costs real money.:cheers:Exactly. I completely agree with you. I am beginning to mod the E55. Right now I have a set of wheels sitting on the bed. I need tires and lowering module just to mount the wheels!

Wheels- $4700

Tires- $1000+

Lowering module- $2k

JUST TO BE LOWERED ON WHEELS!

The s/c pulley is $2k from RennTech, long tubes are probably $4k+, $2k for a tune.

The list goes on, and on, and on. This doesn't include the blacked out grill, emblems, etc I want to do, nor does it include the dry carbon lip and dry carbon diffuser I want made.

Modding cars is an expensive, but satisfying hobby.

You have to pay to play.

I could easily have a ford festiva in the low 13s and pretty well set up for autocross for under $1500, including the cost of the car.

But I do agree, you have to pay to play.

KevinYep, but some people don't want to drive around in a shitbox if they can afford it. Granted, for a track car it would be cool, but go drive a BONE STOCK sti. It will put a hugeeeeeee grin on your face, especially if you know how to actually drive the shit out of it.:D

[quickdodge®]

Would you like me to modify my car to suite your taste or something?


So you mod your car as an upscale hotel room?


Like I said. Real modding costs real money.:cheers:

That's not always the case. If you shop right and do your homework, you can get by with a very nicely done car for a good, low cost. Later, QD.

But would it still look like ass? Yes. And for $1500 bucks it might do it a few times, but it wouldn't last too long.

Sorry, let me clarify. I was talking full engine builds, real coilovers,tranny builds, half shafts, and all the little nickel and dime things most everyone over looks, like mounts, bushings, etc. When you get that deep into one it can start ringing up thousands quick. And you still have a stock looking car.

It all depends on what car you start with. You can't build an Sti for cheap, the dollar/HP ratio is too high, even with used parts. And you have to consider the supplementing mods to that as well. I'm in the process of finishing my DSM, and I can achieve what I want without too much cash because the 4g63 is so cheap to modify for what you end up getting. But you are right, you can spend much less(relatively) if you take your time.

Is that Stance, Flush or Hella Flush? I always get confused.

If you don't believe me, fine. Swap the mazda BP engine from the protege LX(130hp to the wheels) in the festiva. It isn't hard. It will run as long as you care to change the oil and will hang with cars 20x its value.

Quick dodge might know what I am talking about.

It didn't say anthing about "low" cost. If you start with an Sti and do it right, even if it's relatively cheap, it's not even close to being straight up cheap.

Again, it's all about shopping around. And your knowledge of cars. If you can find the stuff you need at prices under the norm and know how to install or do most of the work yourself, your costs are going to be much lower. And it really has to do with the car you start off with as well. It's probably impossible to even get started modifying a Porsche without a beginning price of several thousand dollars. But you could turn around and make some damn good power out of a Dodge neon for that same amount. Later, QD.

This is true. It will be cheaper. Still not cheap though. Especially when your talking more expensive cars. The people I am trying to get my point across to are the ones who think you can build a car right for a few grand. It's not gonna happen. You know that. You know what it will cost you to get your CVCC finished. I'm talkin interior, your new front end, paint, EVERYTHING.

Why is the fuck would anybody invest a single $ in a Ford Festiva, you are getting really desperate in your attempt make your point, when really all you are doing is making yourself look dumber and dumber. We were talking about how expensive it is to make a nice, quick car better and faster and you bring a fucking Ford Festiva with a mazda motor into the conversation, you clearly have no fucking clue what you are talking about...

Yes, I am ignorant for posting pics of a nice car in the car pics section and my "panties" are clearly in a wad because I left you some red reps for being an idiot. Im sorry if my thread title hurt your feelings...

I just can't stand car owners like you that don't know anything about the car the own but act like there hot shit because they have a nice car. It's arrogant cocky people like you that make sti owners look bad. Somebody that knows and builds their car on their own gets way more respect than jackasses like you.


I know enough to know that it looks just like a lowered Subaru.

Hmm, didnt realize that I had said anything about my car building skills, I can assure you however that with the exception of the work I have done to my car while Im here, all other work will be performed by myself just like all work has been on all other cars that I have owned. The fact that STi owners look bad because of people like me is news to me, I didnt realize STi owners looked bad nor did I realize that the car I drove put me or anybody else in some sort of social class. I may be a little arrogant and cocky but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with the car that I drive. Due to the fact that I know and build my cars on my own kind of makes your statement that i have taken the liberty to put in bold print kinda stupid dont you think? The way you speak of you, others might think that we are best friends or something when really we have never even met, nor do I even know your name. I would like to know how you know so much about me and my mechanical and personal history...

It almost seems like the only person here getting truly butt-hurt is you. You make this thread trying to get people to check out what you might use to model your car after(or atleast the wheels?), and then make yourself look incredibly arrogant and immature.

Thanks for the amusement.

BTW, thanks to everyone for pointing out that this car in the original post is the most expensive fucking car ever. I shall never be worthy of thee..........

:screwy: I wonder if that is just your typing or if you sound this stupid when you talk as well. I am aware of your lack of knowledge about Subarus and even your lack of a functioning brain from reading your posts on IA. I am only 19 and by the sounds of things I could forget more about Subarus than you will ever know.

You cant be serious, in 06 when they changed the front ends they look awful and the new ones are nice but Im not a huge fan of hatchbacks...

The 2004 and 2005 was by far the best looking STi sold in the states...

yes,,,, this is true

[swollix]

Look like shit, the wheel style, the sizing, the stretch... They also look narrow to be 12" wide.

[Mantooth]

yes,,,, this is true05>04, imo.

[Fast Shadow]

the butthurt is strong in this thread

[UpSideDownDesi]

No stupid stretch to make them fit, no stupid camber or slammed to make them fit without rubbing....most other car do need this to have proper fitment. There are plenty of STI's/WRX's running around 18x10 and 18x10.5 with 255-285/40-35/18 and some with even 295-315's on them all around.

PS. Bugeye FTW or I love me a 07 hawk eye. How is 04 STI better than 05+? 04's has weaker Hubs, skinnier wheels/tire, rear is narrower, narrow wheel selection with 5x100 pattern, and other cosmetic diffrences compared to 05+ and 07 got better gear ratios.

I LOL'd whe you said Hondas need not try this.. How how Subbies not need try this... How about 19X12's :crazy:


Nice, but back view :no:. What size tires are those? 235/245 on a 12" wide tire. They should be nothing lower than 315's.

Not my car, I was proving a point here. On my NSX it's 18x10 with 285's.

Tire is also one of the main components of fitment. I think hella skinny tire on hell wide wheel is hell easy shot at proper fitment (nothing against guys here). I rather see your fitment than that on the yellow NSX.

I agree on this. I hate seeing all these little civics with stretched tires looking like low riders trying to be Mexicans. Here's a pic of mine mounted with Hoosiers for track use. Don't mind the green rims - hence only for track use. Bottom pictures are Blitz rims mounted with KDW's.
