Thanks for watching!
Everytime an STI gets added clearence an Angel gets it's wings.
Honestly man.. I'm so tired of the "slammed" look.. especially on a car with AWD that got it's name from rally racing.
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree slammed look and skinny ass tyres. Detest this modern trend.
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree I whole heatedly agree, its a rally car....use it like one.
This is a rare Subaru owner. These EJs will go to redline every day and tick away to 200k miles as long as you maintain them.
Absolutely. I’ve never had issues with my STIs because I took care of them and serviced them.
These EJs are notorious for not making it to 200k miles lol.
So will any car. The sky is blue also.
any car can be reliable if you take care of them
100% in fact my sti feels best when taken to red line than 3k.
What a great looking drive, love to see a good owner treating a car and its heritage right!
Precisely. I like how the owner is not there to chaperone but instead to ensure the viewers are entertained.
I hope the STI makes a return... happy I got the '19 before they stopped
It's almost like you knew I was eyeing this setup for my 2017 WRX. Nice driving bud!
I want Subaru to make a version of the WRX like this and call it the wilderness version. I would buy it so fast.
I agree 100%
That’s pretty much the new WRX… it’s not “lifted” per se but it does have much more ground clearance than the older models.
@@messmeister92honestly the plastic would make it more encouraging to offroad often so you dont chip soft subie paint 😅
@@phwnseriously. Some people hate the plastic, but it clads the areas that get beat up the most. Not even for off road-I daily my STI all year round and the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper are all beat up from New England roads and winters.
That or a WRX version of the Crosstrek.
I like these pov driving videos with the owners of the car.
I think it looks awesome. Really paying tribute to Subaru's WRC roots... 😀👍🏼
Nice to see clean stocks ones still for sale for my sake and peace of mind while trying to get one but also love to see them being used in a way that’s showing respect to the old WRC roots❤🎉
I have Reigers on my 04 but god damn this one is LIFTED lifted. Maybe it just looks weird since it’s running stock tires
I wish 17" rims would clear the stock calipers, but I don't believe they do.
Thank god it’s not another slammed sti. I swear I see several every time I go out. Good to see one being used for its intended purpose.
with an owner like that this subaru is definitely going to see the 200,00, mile mark.
TheThoper I noticed you drive where i grew up quite a bit in SE Michigan, you should check out Hankerd Rd in the Pinckney Recreation area off N. Territorial, its got the some of the best twisties you'll find if you don't know about it already. That whole Pinkney/Waterloo area is great for spirited driving or just cruising, just gotta keep it safe and look out for trail crossings or cyclers.
I am watching this in my WRX with the door open and hearing 2 sets of chimes going off was kinda funny
Hell yes! This is the way, this Subaru can Subaru 😍
I pretty much have the same get up on my 17 wrx. Ksport gravel coilovers, downsized sti brakes, method mr502s, stock fa20. I waited a long time before I changed anything on the car and I'm glad I did. Was planning on power mods and stuff, but Im so glad I waited to see what I wanted after 50k miles or so. Glad I don't have to worry about reliability and get to have the kind of fun that I want to. Just wish I had those sti diffs!
That's a 12k mod but it can be done clean
If you're going to lift your STI? How about running a more aggressive tread pattern tire? You're negating the benefit of the lift, if you're using a street tire.. Just my take.
We also own a 2020 STI. So it's not like I am talking trash on something I don't know, anything about.
sucks that we dont get snow in aus! have to drive up the mountains to find some snow!
Snow can be fun but also snow=salt=rust
Awesome. I have a 2017 WRX base and I keep it bone stock. Plenty of fun and practical. Coming up on 75k miles.
i bought a 2017 STI!It's a great car.I like driving it more then my new GR86
Topher’s first rally lesson!
Something is off but I can’t put my finger on it. It might just be something stupid like the lack of dirt and livery but something is definitely a miss to my eyes that I can’t seem to figure out.
Low-profile tires and high wheel gap doesn't look right.
Been looking for a video like this for years. Thank you! Earned a subscriber.
I would LOVE this for our beat down roads, then again i should probably just get a crosstrek
My Flatout GR40 PRO coilovers leaked after 1000 km, support completely ignores my requests. Worst suspension choice
Ahh you need some tires for gravel surfaces if you are going to slap on a suspension like that.
What rally car in history has had front ride height that high? Looks like a Carolina Squat.
For a second I thought Subaru brought STI back.
Working on getting my 2020 WRX lifted next year. Looking at a 1.5 inch lift.
come back new STI . . .
Question for my fellow STI owners. I also have a 2017 STI, about 46k miles at the moment. I bought it with 17k. I’m also stock except for suspension and exhaust. I planned to do a catch can, but never got around to it. This is the first I’ve heard about replacing PCV lines at every other oil change. Does anyone else do this?
Just go with an AOS man
the driver it seems like an expert
Dayum how long has that loud ass seat belt charm been in these subarus? lol
I have to deal with it everyday it’s painful 💀
@@cloudy1723 You can shut them off in the newer subarus can you not in the 2017s?
The only change that should definitely be made is a rev hang delete. Pretty simple edit. Otherwise pretty dope car.
good highways, properly to driving very well, here in this site, everyone is damaged with holes, so , like this is impossible to drive.
my car same year and color
what a joy
How does power compare to new wrx?
Dang for 2017 looks like my old 08 Accord 😂
someone please, teach me to drive, I want to learn to drive, I want to feel the sensation of driving, my friends.
where can i buy a STI nowadays? only used cars?
Correct, 2021 was the last year for them
Hey I’ve been watching your channel for years now started watching your brz videos and I was wondering if you could you please do a pov review of the 2020 Subaru WRX STI limited 😢 please 🙏
Owner really likes blue cars
It looks so awkward, I really don’t know why
Have you ever watched rally racing?
i agree, especially when compared to tophers personal brz. Maybe its the sport tires and lifted suspension combo?
Stock tire sizes
@@Zipfei_Kloatscheryes and they don't look like this lol
To me, the low-profile tires are the issue. You have this all-roady suspension, but then you have the skinny asphalt rubber... Doesn't look right, imo. If it had high-profiles, I think it would look right.
First for once!
first viewer as always
driver lag .. hhahhaha
$18,500 for a car that got grazed by a deer, nibbled on by a dog on the inside, and is modified. Also, it’s 6 years old with around 100,000 miles on it. Nope, not worth it imo.
This car will last 500k with an owner like this
STOP LIFTING CARS
you got issues bud
That thing looks disgusting
