  • My high mileage and neglected STI came complete with multiple engine misfire and more! What check engine lights do we get to repair? Also, test fitting a new set of wheels.

    Just bought myself a 2005 STI and I’m tackling some similar things as I dig into my car more and more. Love the channel it’s comforting to know I’m not alone.

      And yes I’m a HUGE Enkei RCT4 fanâ€ĶI had bought a brand new old stock set years ago. Sold them sadly.

    Blinking dccd light. Maybe something to do with oil leaking from transmission? Is dccd working okay? Great stuff, love to watch your videos as they are very easy to understand and fun to watch.

    Decent headway considering your initial quote 😎
    That sound on start could be starter related. Easy to pull out and bench test it at least

    Most of that is just labor costs, if you just count the parts then it’s not anywhere near as expensive if you do the labor yourself. I own a 06 STi and i have gradually done almost all of those, except for my steering rack. It’s an old car by now so most of those problems you would find in almost any old car, it’s all basically leaks. As far as those "standard features” you are a lucky manâ€Ķcause the "headgasket feature” is a naturally aspirated EJ25 feature, turbo EJ’s do not have that problem because they come with Multilayered Steel gaskets from factory as opposed to the N/A models which use defective composite paper thin gasket and always end up leaking. Now, i have heard of some people having misfire problems but I’ve never had those so i wouldn’t know. Maintenance and fixing problems quickly is the key.

      I agree! Any car this old will have leaks and need work. Many people think they last forever without proper care. The labor rate in my area is $150-$200 per hour! Good thing my labor ain’t worth much.
