Got an 05 STI
Hi there, just got an 05 STI over the weekend and want to say hi. It is silver with silver wheels. Seemed like a well built car and comfortible to drive in. A little slow for me but I will eventually change that. I will break in the first 1000 miles then it will be my wife's daily driver.
My daily driver is a 98 Corvette with Heads/cam/bolt-ons and Nitrous. N/A was around 380 rwhp before I added more crap to it. I am guessing around 400~420rwhp now plus the TNT 150 shot. The 150 shot is still not tuned yet so I haven't sprayed. My best time on that thing was 12.5@115 with a horrible launch on street tires. So install more power stuff, and got Drag radials. At the track friday night, the car dead hooked and I snapped the output shaft. lol mullet power.
I notice some difference on the 05 comparing to the 04 STI. 05 has automatic climatic control, radio with 6 disc in dash changer, wheels are wider at 17X8, the dash is different, the center console is different and the seats are narrower. Anybody know other changes?
So I lurked around and trying to find some info. But found nothing I was looking for so I am gonna ask some questions:
1. Where do you install boost gauge on 05? On the A-pillar or on the dash? How much is the OEM one or should I go aftermarket?
2. How good is the OEM bass box? I like the fact it fits under the seat. Wife needs all the grocery space she can get.
3. Where can I get the best floor mats? Anybody know any canadian dealership I can call? My interior is blue.

1. the oem one mounts on the steering column cover. It will be cheaper to get an aftermarket one.
2. when i had one it was pretty good, and yes its out of the way under the seat which was good.
3. there was a thread somewhere about ordering cdn ones. keep looking around.
