That idle issue could be a bad tune from the previous owner if they had FBO before reverting it back to stock. Love the look with the coilovers and the fitment is on point, honestly a track stance would be clean and when you add more power to the car it will be perfect! Can’t wait to see the new wheels next episode! Love the video Chris! ❤️
LETS GOO im actually so hype for this build bro painting the wrx headlight is how i found u so to see you upgrade to a sti sheeesh proud of you my boi i still got the 30k subs screenshot bc i knew u finna blow
Lmao I remember when I first bought my FRS I was trippin on the same shit. I later realized my RPMs were going wild like that because the AC was on 😂 it was my first car so I had no idea that was a thing
@@eternalglow6483 yes bro I was trippin out my mind when my 86 was doing that I was like yup I’m fucked but it only does that when my ac is on so I just don’t use the ac no more
Maaaan the STI is looking more and more beautiful bro, cant wait to see what kinda wheels you went with. Cant wait to see the footage of the event as well since ill be working lol. Keep up the great work brudda
Yo Chris, I’m only 15 and I have a 8th gen civic si, and bro ur such an inspiration keep up the amazing work bro. Love ur vids. It’s always a good day when u post🤟🤟
Hey Chris my 2012 sti had the same issue for a while it’s not the ac. If the other previous owner did any sort of tuning the cars not liking it. Congrats on the new project.
Chris is a youtuber who will take his time to reply on any comments. Chris we love the feedback on our comments, it’s literally telling us that you care about ur viewers. Always here to support no matter what ✊🏽🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Glad to see you enjoying the sti brother! You're going to be addicted to these things after this one Promise you that! Its an addictions at this point! hahaha good luck with this build brothaa
Yeah, my 21 Wrx does the same thing, got mine with 7 miles and it always did the fluctuation but only when the ac is on, doesn’t do it if the ac is off. Oh and , mines also ice…..when it’s wet its fkn weeeeeeeeeet! Goood choice on the color, even tho you don’t dig it from the bat.
im very surprised instead of saving/ buying a new house that's bigger with a bigger garage for all your cars. you buy another car and yet still mod them back and fourth. still love the content bro
I’d suggest you take it to a dealership before doing the accessport, or tapping into the ecu.. dealership didn’t want anything to do w mine after they seen it’s been “tuned” more aggressively.
What’s up Chris love all your cars! My dream car is the Golf R/ STI when I am able to get my dream car depending on the market lol I have been going back and forth about what one to get and everytime I watch your videos I want one!
The idle rpm thing is normal, even my Impreza 2.5 RS do the same thing. As for the fitment and ride height, I think it honestly depends on your end goal, for my purpose is a bit too low since I drive cars really hard (Still remembered mom's face after I blown off 3 hubcaps on my first canyon drive in my mom's corolla a week after I got license in 16🤣) and I often found that a low ride height made my car scrape a lot, unless I use very stiff springs which made the car unbearable on California bumpy city road lols. I smashed the oil pan after I caught air in that infamous dip at otay lake road and I learned the hard way oof. But if you aren't driving like a maniac and are not doing a tone of canyons driving, the ride height looks pretty good. After you put some wheels, it will look perfect as a show car that are also fun to drive! looking forward for more videos, keep up your good work!
Oh man ever since owning my Impreza almost a year but it had a engine swap and I myself fully rebuilt my trans took it down and took it apart had to split in half to swap out the input shaft it was a pain just for that seal, installed a new clutch my first time doing any of this but man my car drives awesome!
with the idle thing idk if its sti or wrx related but for my wrx mines the same it usually starts around like 2k rpm on cold start then it'll slowly drop but it'll bounce up and down a lot especially when that damn A/C on but love ya channel bro top 2 fav subaru channels fosho
Hey Chris, I have multiple subarus and all of them have the same idling issue your having, it's perfectly normal for subarus and it's usually worse with the ac running, hope this helps.
Mine did that too. But mine was a tuning issue and it was because my car was running lean. Now i gotta get a retune blah blah blah. but naturally the engine does drop and adjust by itself. mostly in neutral and stuff. AC also does play a big role in it. Since its stock RN youre chillin dont stress!
You can add fog lights to these 2018+ I did it on my 2019 because the headlights suck and my sight was so much better with LED fogs. Look into it if you’re interested !
I got a 17 sti never experienced that & my buddy has a 19 sti & he has the same “ issue “ very common that I have notice from the 18+ coming from a subaru tech 🤟🏼cars looks clean btw
My frs does the weird idle thing too, especially when the AC is on. I’ve just left it and it’s fine. I think it only happens with the ac. Sounds like it’s gonna bog down and then doesn’t
Not sure if anyone mentioned doing a idle re learn but that can help. I’m sure it’s an electronic throttle and I’ve done a re learn on my WRX. That’s one thing to try.
Try using a heat gun to get the crap off the fender liner. Just make sure not to melt the plastic. I think it’s asphalt and if it is I use a blow torch to get it off the bottom of my work boots. 👍
That idle issue could be a bad tune from the previous owner if they had FBO before reverting it back to stock.

Ahh sounds scary 😫 And yes bro leaning more towards a track stance but maybeeee a little lower. Kinda in the middle. 🫡
@@chris_borges he's not quite right the idle changes because of the ac try it out if you turn it off and on then you should notice it
@@chris_borges just slam it papi
It’s gonna look even better once you get new wheels, appreciate all the hard work you put into the vids man🔥
New wheels are on already. Can’t wait to show y’all!

Real love. Appreciate the support man fr!
Hey Chris, my STI idle does that as well at times but definitely more noticable with the AC on. I think youre good 👍🏾
🙏🏻

@@syedhaquecj5055 It’s perfectly normal for the car to do that. You can still use the AC bro 😂
@@eternalglow6483 Ik bro I just hate the feeling it makes it feel like the cars about to die idk I just don’t like it
Coils are a great new taste for the channel 🔥 can’t wait to see the new wheels on the STI 😮💨 feels good to see a good ole install again
Back at it with the installs. 🫡
Hell yeah Chris, I’m a little behind on uploads but the STI looks so much better now, can’t wait to see the wheels 🤙🏼
Maaaan the STI is looking more and more beautiful bro, cant wait to see what kinda wheels you went with. Cant wait to see the footage of the event as well since ill be working lol. Keep up the great work brudda
Appreciate you sm fr 🤝
My idle is the same more noticeable when ac is on love the STI BROSIF! keep up the great work GOD BLESS!!
God bless bro!!
Always look forward to your videos man
That’s love. Appreciate the constant support bro. ❤️
Glad u went with coils, looking forward to a track build
I reached the part where you were questioning slamming or track, I screamed SLAM IT. You have two bagged cars already so FULL SEND
👀😬
Yes sti does the idle thing it’s normal but it happens more often with the A/C on
🫡
The car looks LOVELY! I think the STI would really rock a mod like under glow. And the stance, probably track and a teeny bit lower. Loved the vid.
I can't wait to hear how the STI will sound. We need that video ASAP Chris lol! Great videos!
Yessir same!! Coming soon. 🔥
i loves these videos been waitinggg!!!! keep up the good work
Appreciate it man!!
respectttt on these consistant fast uploads
Can wait for exhaust vid, sti looks great with coils
Coming soon!
You keep posting bangers and you build such nice cars keep up the good work Chris
Means a lot bro really does!
Dope vid as always! Sti looking sweet n low. Can't wait to see the other mods for it and the brz transformation.

Love the STI Chris, Keep grinding hard. Also can’t wait to see the wide body BRZ 😍
Bro can’t wait to show y’all!

Like how fast this builds coming bro, I’ll see you at subiefest!
Yessir!! See you there bro.
Glad to see you enjoying the sti brother! You're going to be addicted to these things after this one Promise you that! Its an addictions at this point! hahaha good luck with this build brothaa
also don't worry about the idle very normal on the stock tune!!
Yeah, my 21 Wrx does the same thing, got mine with 7 miles and it always did the fluctuation but only when the ac is on, doesn’t do it if the ac is off.
Oh and , mines also ice…..when it’s wet its fkn weeeeeeeeeet! Goood choice on the color, even tho you don’t dig it from the bat.
Subaru tings, nothing to be scared of. Can’t wait to see what wheels you go with. 🙏🏻
Ahhh I see it’s a common thing!
I have been waiting for this video
Chris, my sti does the same thing just a little more lol. Driven for 3 years no issues!
Ahhh good to know! 🙌🏻
proud of you for finally doing coilovers. committed to a ride height
🫡
Holy I never liked stock STI wheels but those coilovers made it look 🔥
im very surprised instead of saving/ buying a new house that's bigger with a bigger garage for all your cars. you buy another car and yet still mod them back and fourth. still love the content bro
Add Oem Rainguards 🔥, It’ll definitely change the look of the car especially since you have Tint now 💪🏽
I’d suggest you take it to a dealership before doing the accessport, or tapping into the ecu.. dealership didn’t want anything to do w mine after they seen it’s been “tuned” more aggressively.
i’m so hyped for these videos chris! I’m waiting on that exhaust video 👀👀 Keep up the great work man you never fail to entertain us!
Hearing this means a lot bro.. 🙏🏻
In South Africa we would call this OEM+ , It looks super clean bro. Hope it stays static
I’ve honestly been waiting for you to do coils again tbh man, I’m personally more towards laying frame static so I guess I’m biased 😂😂
Haha gotta switch it up! 🫡
@@chris_borges have you ever thought doing like a crazy lay frame static build before just for fun ?
@@33galixykids32 thos builds are awful
What’s up Chris love all your cars! My dream car is the Golf R/ STI when I am able to get my dream car depending on the market lol I have been going back and forth about what one to get and everytime I watch your videos I want one!
Much love my bro!
so fire cant wait to see the wheels!
Excited to show y’all !
max out the coils man it will look so good, a lil scraping never hurt anyone
Got lots of threads left 👀
Oh! Coilovers, nice! Looking forward to hearing some feedback on these. Im looking at couple different brands right now.
Ice Silver 👌🏼
These fit my needs! Comfy and go low. 💯
missed this takes me back to frs coilover install. i like the bags but this hits different
Back to the basics 🙏🏻
Will you change out the exhaust on th brz to get rid of the raspy noise or do you like it like that? Looks awsomw though! Keep it up!
Try the slammed , and if you don’t like it , get slammed track fitment 🔥
Ayeee I’m running those coils on my 2015 wrx. I absolutely love them! Fl spec is the way to go!
Ayyy sick!!
Looks good, how low did you drop it?
Damn bro sobrang ganda!! Can't wait to see whats next? Haha
Wheels!!

my '18 STI used to do that a little here and there, i wouldnt worry unless it gets worse
💯
It happens to mine sometimes especially when I don’t turn on the car for a while , your good nothing serious 👍
i can't wait to see what's next! :o Is there a possibility you get into engine mods for more HP with the sti?
Of course! 🔥
I used to have a 04 Forester XT and the rpms would do the same thing
Sick 🔥🔥 I drive a focus St but seeing the content progress on the sti is lit ! 🔥
Can’t wait for the exhaust/headers you go with ! 🫡
Aporeciate it man! I’m excited to make this thing loud. 🤪
Yo that track stance looks sick!! Great switch up😎
🫡
Yooo. I love that drop. She look so different. Once put different rim dude make completely different
with the idle thing idk if its sti or wrx related but for my wrx mines the same it usually starts around like 2k rpm on cold start then it'll slowly drop but it'll bounce up and down a lot especially when that damn A/C on but love ya channel bro top 2 fav subaru channels fosho
Interesting. Been seeing in the comments that it’s common though!
@@chris_borges yah prob even with my tune it still does it but I mean my numbers seem normal right after my car warms up so
your an inspiration man!
Much love man 🙏🏻
Surprised you were able to get the jack out from under the front after you slammed it lol
Low car ramps!
🤘🏻🤘🏻 amazing video as always
Thanks so much!!
Hey Chris, I have multiple subarus and all of them have the same idling issue your having, it's perfectly normal for subarus and it's usually worse with the ac running, hope this helps.
Interesting… Thanks for the feedback bro!
@@chris_borges Yeah.. No worries bro!
Guarantee you gone be in static club next intro video 😁🤙🏾
9:35 use another crew driver in the top portion to line it up perfectly 😎
Mine did that too. But mine was a tuning issue and it was because my car was running lean. Now i gotta get a retune blah blah blah. but naturally the engine does drop and adjust by itself. mostly in neutral and stuff. AC also does play a big role in it. Since its stock RN youre chillin dont stress!
Ahhh good to know. 🤝
It looks great!!Just worried about axle problems if I go too low,because I had that problem twice with my ‘95 integra.👍
You can add fog lights to these 2018+ I did it on my 2019 because the headlights suck and my sight was so much better with LED fogs. Look into it if you’re interested !
Definitely! Tinted windshield makes it so hard to see.
the stocks look so sick man
They’re a vibe lowkey!
Once you throw a new set of wheels and tires and add the front lip, side skirts and rear defuser, it’ll look even lower
Can’t wait for that! 🔥
I find it impressive u do all your own cart
My STI does that too so all good brotha love the vids keep it up!🙏🏼
Ayyy good to know! 🙏🏻
I got a 17 sti never experienced that & my buddy has a 19 sti & he has the same “ issue “ very common that I have notice from the 18+ coming from a subaru tech 🤟🏼cars looks clean btw
Hey Chris my man love the Wrx and sti so so much keep up what you doing your growing fast
Thanks so much bro. Means a lot!
🔥🔥cant wait for the wheels
They’re on already and haven’t posted them yet. FIRE. 🔥
i think youre good i have that happen to me. usually with the ac on its more noticable
Hey Chris my WRX does the same thing while idling very noticeable when AC is turned on though
love the content bro !
Appreciate you Carlo!
Congrats on your whole success, well deserved. love the content keep it up
Appreciate the support bro. ❤️
HOLY COW! Hahaha that is totally looks so good! 🫦
🤝❤️
Yup, This sold me on FF.
Does the ride suck or is it alright?
track/stance be dope car looking good overall inspiring me to start mine 😫😫 just dont got the tools & space to do it sadly soon tho 🥶
What helped me was cleaning the MAF
Imma give this a shot! Thanks man. 💯
Love seeing the Xterra in the cut every time! ❤️🎌 ! Other cars are cool too LoLs.
The RPMs go up and down when you have the AC on its normal.
Even with no AC! Been seeing it’s common tho.
I believe my 23 brz has the same engine and it does the same thing with idle RPMs. I think it might just be a fa24 thing.
Hmmmm
Fluctuation most likely front o2 sensor ..mine used to go from rich to lean pretty bad ..then I got o2 sensor and all good
Would you ever want to go for power with this build instead of stance , I think that would be a cool diversity to the channel
Yessir that’s the plan!
I’m all for the slammed look 😂 ima static guy
Hahah vibeee
Brooo functional/track look 100%🤌🏻
Can you make a video of what’s the pros and cons of having bags and if you recommend for dallying it?
Gotcha 👍🏻
The idle is normal if you put the ac on and it’s idling you’ll hit around the 1.2k rpms no need to worry completely normal
Functional for sure on the STI
Yea my sti idle does fluctuate from time to time I think it has to do with the ac not sure just never looked into it
Hmm ok. Seems to be a common issue!
My frs does the weird idle thing too, especially when the AC is on. I’ve just left it and it’s fine. I think it only happens with the ac. Sounds like it’s gonna bog down and then doesn’t
Interesting 🧐
The start up was hilarious
Not sure if anyone mentioned doing a idle re learn but that can help. I’m sure it’s an electronic throttle and I’ve done a re learn on my WRX. That’s one thing to try.
💯
How can you do a re-learn on wrx?
Try using a heat gun to get the crap off the fender liner. Just make sure not to melt the plastic. I think it’s asphalt and if it is I use a blow torch to get it off the bottom of my work boots. 👍
Appreciate the tip! 🫡
Thankfully you used to drive the FRS static for years. So you know how to drive los cars. You’ll be good
