Black only stays clean for a few hours so I had to snap a pic

Someone on Facebook marketplace crashed their 2015 sti. It has 160k km / 100k miles.

The front took the hit, broke the timing cover, 2nd air pump looks like it got smashed.

Said he would sell for $600.Cad.

Walk away or is there a good chance it's usable?

The funny thing is, there’s barely any wing here.

I just put the 502s back on after some initial buyer's remorse and they have grown on me lately. Doesn't handle quite as sharply in the corners, but the comfort on long drives and bumpy roads is a huge improvement. Currently on 245/45/17 all season tires but looking for recs/suggestions

I just got my cobb short throw shifter for my sti and when trying to install it I realized where the pin goes is not been drilled out does it come this way or is this a manufacturer error

These OEM parts are just sitting in my storage shed and I want to declutter. Make me an offer if you want to pick them up. Again, I really just want to get this stuff out. The struts, springsj, toe arms, control arms, and trailing arms have 38,000 miles. The Sway Bar has 26,000 miles. Nothing was wrong with the parts. I just upgraded to JDM S208 suspension. The Rear diff carrier, transmission mount, and crossmember bushings have 34,000 miles. The engine mounts have 33,000 miles. They have brand new group N mounting brackets as I kept the old ones on the car.

I brought the car to my local gas station and provided the oil, oil filter and Ceratec for the first oil change. This time I decided to give it a go. Definitely as easy as expected, with the right Oil filter wrench. I had to make a run to Autozone because I had the wrong oil filter removal tool, the one with the expandable arms are trash never again. I used a Tokyo Roki filter, new crush washer, and I filled the oil filter first. After filling the filter I added the rest of the 5L bottle and topped off with the 1L. Luckily I’ve never had any issues with burning oil or oil consumption, but overfilling a lil bit on these cars won’t hurt. I forgot my cabin filter and engine air filter at my apt so I will do those when I get home. I plan on doing the gear oil and transmission oil next, but will wait til the next oil change or do it right before winter. Also the TPMS after I powder coat the wheels.

Edit: After some serious concern I have drained the lil and added 5l only. Thanks for everyone who reached out or showed concern. Appreciate y’all.

2016 wrx sti, I’ve been trying to find other examples of this motor online but it keeps showing different stuff

Hi guys I’m super lazy and don’t wanna handwash my car. I’ve tried all types of car wash and they all seem to scratch mine. Most recently I took it to a touchless carwash and as somehow it still got scratched. Just wanted to see what you guys do and how yall keep the paint so fresh without it peeling.

Hey y’all! I have a 2016 STI that I’m wanting to do a rally inspired build. I’m located in the PNW, and love going down forest roads, so ground clearance is super important to me. From what I’ve seen, 2-2.5” lifts are the max before running into issues with the CV shafts. What supporting mods are y’all running if you’re going over that? And if you’re sitting at the 2” mark, what’s been your experience with your setup? TIA!! Also, pics for tax. It is *bone stock* currently.

Did a Cobb AOS on my 2018 Sti and ever since the install I have made zero boost, everything seems to be connected but idk if something is installed improperly or in the wrong place but idk what it could be and I really need to get the car back up and running properly quickly any advice would be appreciated

Photos are with the tmic off
