    Been following since the FI days! Your killing it Alex, thanks for being down to earth in your own channel too.
    I’m deciding between a 10th gen SI, civic hatch (adding an LSD) (I like the looks more than coupe or sedan lol) and the VA WRX as a DD/ beginner track day car. So glad this series is back!

    Used to own an '18 Sti. Did the basic stuff, and started looking into increasing power. For "reliable" 400-450 hp, parts alone were around $14k. ($9k for IAG block Rated for 500hp). Not worth it.
    Throw some nice wheels and coilovers on it, catback and maybe a short shifter, and leave it alone. If you want a car with more power, WRX / Sti isn't the right choice.

  • @acid847
    @acid847 Рік тому +11

    Excellent video sir, I never thought I'd own a 2015 STI because they were too far out of my price range for a daily. But three months ago I decided to pick up a sketchy one with mods for 16k, and after getting a tune for the parts on the vehicle, and fixing some body issues the car runs great! Smeedia has been a great resource to maintaining an STI. My journey isn't done yet as there are still things to do but what a fun daily. Cheers!

    For the AWD, 4 banger platform. Golf R seems to be the most tuner friendly for performance. But the WRX and Evo do look amazing.

    • @MartiniWorksOfficial
      @MartiniWorksOfficial  Рік тому +3

      Golf R's are underrated honestly

    • @nycyabber7103
      @nycyabber7103 Рік тому

      Yup, the EA888 can take on a lot of reliable power. Fwiw, the S3 looks pretty nice if you're into the WRX and Evo look and is the same exact car (at least 8V and MK7, the MK8 and 8Y have some slight differences). I went the S3 route just because it's cheaper than the Golf R.

    I 100% agree, boxer engine need a remap after modification. Jdm Subaru has to be tuned for your local gas since 100 octane is not available everywhere. Got my 1998 JDM B4 RSK tuned for 98 octane and making 330 HP.

    I agree with the views of this video, anything past a stage 1 tune STI should be considered not a daily driver. make sure you have another car to daily before you go above 300 at the wheels. Definitely keep up on the fluids and regular maintenance and checks. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go in that department off the shelf tunes are for getting to the Tuner.

    You should put the link in the description. Also everything he said is true don’t be like me and do all the tone necessary stuff unless your car is bulletproof because you’ll break down on the way to the tune appointment. Which then leads to over a year of trying and failing to get it ready 😢

      After having owned a 21 VA and now a 22 VB. I much prefer the looks of the VB. Even the plastic has grown on me an seeing paint matched if off to me. Dropping an STI trans in mine to make it the car it SHOULD have been.

    • @greype7337
      @greype7337 Рік тому +1

      @@DarkWolfWRX What else have you done to the car? I recently got a VB as well and I'm leaving it 100% stock until warrantly is up. It's my first car and learning manual was very fun. Once warrantly was up I was thinking about getting an intake, cat-back, and a short throw shifter. I've heard a little bit about swapping the trans as the sti one is more durable and overall just better as well as upgrading the brakes if you want to take it to the track. Any other things I should be considering? It will be my only car so I'm not aiming for anything too crazy as I need something that won't be braking all the time.
