      EpicSubaruTube what don’t you love about your 19 STI? I’ve wanted one since the mid 2000s and may finally jump on a 2019 this week due to the 0.9% financing through Subaru right now.
      My heart is telling me to get a 19 Type R, though. Seems like a better driving experience with better gas mileage, albeit worse driving in the snow

      @@RuffRhyno I have a 2018 STI and I can tell you, there will be cars like the Type-R being produced in the future, but with that rumble coming from a boxer engine that doesn't build up on carbon, manual transmission, hydraulic steering, 3 LSDs, etc., and evething combined, no. The times I drove near a Type-R, I felt so happy with my decision to buy the STI because of all the feelings it returns to you. I you like driving something special, the car is the STI. A 2008 M3 might have more power than the 2005 M3, but the latter is the one to have.The STI is a car that you will fall in love with it. At least until now.

    Makes me miss my GD Bugeye. The GD chassis was by far the most influential to the North American Subaru culture. Yes the pre 02 models are legendary and timeless in their own right, but when these came stateside in 02, it cultivated what is the Subaru culture of today. The 07s are legendary being the last GD body style, so it’s no surprise that they’ve kept their value. Great video!

    The GC and GD Blob eye chassis based STi are still my fav STis
    the GC chassis was def iconic because of the 555 Impreza in the WRC but the brand had to be subtle due to the ban of cigarettes ads in racing
    there is one Acronym for the WRX, it is known as World Rally eXperimental when it was introduced in 1992
    The best GC chassis is was def the 22B STi

    That wing is not a air down force wing for road course racing. It utilizes the air pressure for the side fins on the wing when sliding the car on dirt roads at high speeds like dirt oval track sprint cars. This provides more control when going sideways when rallying. Yes I have seen some crazy people sliding these cars on dirt roads.

    Love my 06 STi, she's putting down 322whp, and should be closer to 350whp once I get the GS TMIC and retune. Question though, do the 08+ STi's still come with the shift light? I feel like that's a feature so many people forget about in the 06/07 STi, but I don't think I've seen it on any model since after the 2007.

      i mean considering a low mile 04 to 07 sti it’s already 12-20k possibly. but i think the price they go for is ridiculous to be honest.

      @blank-pi9cc 5 лет назад

      Tomei the absolute coochie monster you are so right; I was thinking the same thing when I seen this video.
      Because the Hatchback was only made for 7 years (2008-2014) I can see the value greatly appreciating regardless of mileage especially if it is kept as stock

    The only sti I would get , 2006 , in white , beautiful car , although only reason why I haven’t gone to a sti from a civic si is cus of the technology it has , like the lane watch , my 2005 Acura rsx type s had cruise control , I see this 2007 doesn’t , but either way I’m definitely going to have to get a 2006 sti in the future, while still keeping my 2014 civic si

    Should have kept the stock headlights / taillights for that unique 07 look. People argue that blob tails are nice, well yes, but hawkeyes come with projector headlights which are way better than blob reflector headlights.

    First and last year of every model are the best. I love my 08, wouldnt trade it for a Hawkeye, wouldn't mind owning both but in my opinion 08 is the best year so far. Also i prefer a wrx over an sti, if youre going to upgrade the car there's no point in paying extra for parts that are going to be removed. The 6 speed is more robust but the 5 speed lends to better 0-60 and 0-100 times. Some day i plan on cutting my own replacement gears for my 5 speed, custom ratios and much stonger overall.

    Love the video but this engine isn't a flat four. Flat fours have two pairs of pistons firing at the same time. This is because in flat fours, there is one crankpin (what connects the piston to the crankshaft) for every 2 pistons/cylinder. That is to say that there are two oppositely arranged pistons on the same crankpin. Boxer engines have a crankpin per piston, that is to say that every piston is connected individually to the crankshaft. They all turn in the 4 strokes at an equal rate ofc
