    Been following since the FI days! Your killing it Alex, thanks for being down to earth in your own channel too.
    I’m deciding between a 10th gen SI, civic hatch (adding an LSD) (I like the looks more than coupe or sedan lol) and the VA WRX as a DD/ beginner track day car. So glad this series is back!

    Excellent video sir, I never thought I'd own a 2015 STI because they were too far out of my price range for a daily. But three months ago I decided to pick up a sketchy one with mods for 16k, and after getting a tune for the parts on the vehicle, and fixing some body issues the car runs great! Smeedia has been a great resource to maintaining an STI. My journey isn't done yet as there are still things to do but what a fun daily. Cheers!

    I 100% agree, boxer engine need a remap after modification. Jdm Subaru has to be tuned for your local gas since 100 octane is not available everywhere. Got my 1998 JDM B4 RSK tuned for 98 octane and making 330 HP.

  • @shark2u6
    @shark2u6 Před rokem +2

    I agree with the views of this video, anything past a stage 1 tune STI should be considered not a daily driver. make sure you have another car to daily before you go above 300 at the wheels. Definitely keep up on the fluids and regular maintenance and checks. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go in that department off the shelf tunes are for getting to the Tuner.

    @gozer1907 Před rokem +7

    Used to own an '18 Sti. Did the basic stuff, and started looking into increasing power. For "reliable" 400-450 hp, parts alone were around $14k. ($9k for IAG block Rated for 500hp). Not worth it.
    Throw some nice wheels and coilovers on it, catback and maybe a short shifter, and leave it alone. If you want a car with more power, WRX / Sti isn't the right choice.

    • @jmsti
      @jmsti Před rokem

  • @zacharypotter7160
    @zacharypotter7160 Před rokem +3

    For the AWD, 4 banger platform. Golf R seems to be the most tuner friendly for performance. But the WRX and Evo do look amazing.

    • @MartiniWorksOfficial
      @MartiniWorksOfficial  Před rokem +3

      Golf R's are underrated honestly

    • @nycyabber7103
      @nycyabber7103 Před rokem

      Yup, the EA888 can take on a lot of reliable power. Fwiw, the S3 looks pretty nice if you're into the WRX and Evo look and is the same exact car (at least 8V and MK7, the MK8 and 8Y have some slight differences). I went the S3 route just because it's cheaper than the Golf R.

Rays Wheels are better quality than Eneki, that's why they cost more LOL. Would be nice to see the old crew back for a video or two.

    You should put the link in the description. Also everything he said is true don’t be like me and do all the tone necessary stuff unless your car is bulletproof because you’ll break down on the way to the tune appointment. Which then leads to over a year of trying and failing to get it ready 😢

    Can anyone explain why a TMIC *not front mount* needs a tune? A majority says it does not but few people say it does.

    • @lucian7182
      @lucian7182 Před rokem

      A top mount intercooler will run fine without a tune, because the piping is the same length. With a tune you can take advantage of the larger intercooler but it’s not necessary .The front mount needs a tune because it adds much longer piping which will affect the afr. A good top mount ands tune should net you 10-20 whp while a front mount should net you 20-30 whp.
