2006 Subaru STI has gone through multiple phases and though it reached it final form, there's more in store.
Most automotive enthusiasts that live and breathe project cars don't maintain a lifelong commitment to any specific chassis. Sure, there's the occasional story of the builder that held on to their car beyond a handful of years but more often than not, cars are sold and replaced with new builds to tinker with. For Josue"Sway" Santiago, he's had a fewAfter 15 years of ownership and having gone through multiple phases, the Sway and Subie relationship is stronger than ever.
When Sway purchased his STI in 2007, he'd already been busy with modifying a Forester XT Limited. He'd later started making changes to the WRX, but they were always relatively mild, with constant wheel swaps and OEM optional body additions."I had about seven different trunk set ups - from wingless to winged, with three different wing types to choose from," he adds.
Before the next version of this STI is completed, much of its current, aggressive aesthetic can be attributed to the Voltex widebody aero that's widened all four corners and brought the car's outline closer to the pavement. The beloved"hawkeye" front end received a noticeable makeover with the Voltex Street bumper and lower lip now in place with its large grill opening offering plenty of airflow to the front-mount intercooler set up.
What was once a blue interior has been swapped out for black surfaces but the OEM seats didn't make the grade and were traded for a set of Bride Japan Zeta III buckets. The factory steering wheel and shift knob joined the original seats and a Personal woodgrain wheel was installed with a WC Lathewerks titanium shift knob. Atop the dash swap you'll find a trio of gauges housed in a Zero Sports bezel that, along with a few choice dash pieces, has been flocked.
Delivering enough fuel is a set of ID1300s mounted to Injector Dynamics' top-feed fuel rail conversion fed by a Deatschwerks fuel pump. With a 4 BAR MAP sensor on board and tuning through Cobb's Accessport, this STI street car produces a safe and reliable 418hp with 400 lb-ft of torque. That power is put to the ground through an Exedy twin disc, and engine and drivetrain movement is kept in check with Torque Solutions' mounts and a Kartboy rear differential bushing.
