I got an 06 sti last October and its been fun! Its rough tho, so I bought it knowing I need to dump some money into it to get it as clean as I want it. So far so good!
I bought a 2006 STI back in 2015 with 12k miles on it. It had signs of a bad piston. Swapped out pistons and drove it 16k miles and went ahead and installed a new Type RA block on it. Currently at 33k miles Still looks and drives like a brand new car 👍🏼 Love It ❤
I’m building my 2006 Sti right now on my channel! And I loved it before and always have. But I got to say I’m enjoying it more with its mods. Made the whole experience so much better and it was already fun before:) I want to keep it forever.
I totally agree with the no wave thing. 10 yrs ago you couldn’t go anywhere without a wave especially when I had my Bugeye idk why but people really liked that car.
Bought my 07 in 2010 with 11k miles. It's tastefully modded. And it truly has been a great joy in my life. Just don't make many cars that are this raw feeling anymore.
They’re so hard to find. I still look on market place all the time just to see what’s out there and I don’t see a ton either. Good luck on your search!👊🏻
How much you think a salvaged STI (2005) goes for with no engine but good tranny. This guy I know wants to get rid of it but how much do think it’s value? Ball park? Thank for your time!
Hmm if I had to guess I would say it would be worth around 8-10k. It’s crazing how expensive they can still be. Does it comes with the brembo’s and all still?
I drive an 06 STi as well. And I have come to the conclusion as to why the Hawkeyes dont get the wave as much as the bug or Blob eye subies... Its because other subie drivers are jealous of the Hawkeye. ;) And side note, I agree you dont need 600hp to have a fun driving car. I've learned that its more fun to drive a slower car fast than it is to drive a really fast car slow.
2012 STi hatchback with 125,000 miles on original everything here. Best car I've ever had, never had an issue with it. Got it for $20,000 with 69k on it. Since i've put a bigger radiator, intercooler, and IAG AOS. No oil burn, leaks or anything. Cars are only as good as the owner.

Really a drivers car never fails to make me smile
Same with me, every time

That’s awesome man yours is super clean! The experience of the car is like no other. What do you have done to yours so far?
@@boostfeed_ invidia down pipe, cat back , turbo inlet hose, intake and a few other goodies that are surprises 😂
@@jk_waters haha that’s awesome I have a tomei turbo inlet hose that I’m gonna be putting in soon
@@boostfeed_ sweet what’s your whp goal?
@@jk_waters at the moment I’m thinking 300 to the wheels. I’m sure that’s going to change once I hit that goal😂

Yea my 2008 hatchback got so many waves, even my bugeye got quite a few as well. The Hawkeye just doesn’t seem to get many unfortunately

They really don’t. There’s something about them that’s just so unique and different than other cars
Just spt add ons no mas
all good lot`s of aftermarket parts to choose from - a turbo is fun and great to own and drive - even wrx is great fun .
Wrx is awesome. I had a bugeye wrx before the sti and loved every minute with it
Love my bugeye - Still good to mod or not - best chassis ever imho
I agree!
@@boostfeed_ nice to see your channel growing keep up the cool well put together content
@@grandtheftauto1233 Thank you!
Just found this. 70 retired lineman, drkive a 2006 subaru sti and 98 honda prelude. Wife hates it
Haha that’s awesome! My girlfriend isn’t a fan of my car either😂 who did you used to play for?
I have 02 bugeye WRX wagon and I love it.
There’s something about them!
Clean subi.. 👋🏼 waving at ya from my subi
Haha back at you ✌🏻
Have a really hard time finding an 06-07 sti that’s worth it. Especially now that I have my money up. 😅
They’re so hard to find. I still look on market place all the time just to see what’s out there and I don’t see a ton either. Good luck on your search!👊🏻
Just takes patience. I searched for a year to find the right one. And that was in 2012 when it was easier to find a GD chassis.
I get the Subie wave every day in Texas.
Lucky it bascislly doesn’t exist anymore in Colorado

Haha the Hawkeyes are so desirable I bet you’re right. I have to agree that driving a slow car fast and way more fun than driving a fast car slow
