Camera setup up- Sony a7 iii / sony 16mm-35mm - Zábava
Headlights are hid in stis and has an intercooler sprayer they also have side feed injector and wrx has top feed and rear sway bar links and lateral links are different also stis for the most part come with a different cat back exhaust and sway bars and springs also 07s have only one port for secondary air pump on one head only also 07 is canbus system so pcv system is a little different
Shane C don’t forget that only the 07 STis have topfeed the 04-06 STi are sidefeed
SoulTakenInstantly I was stating that on if it was an 06 like he originally said
Shane C but you still mentioned 07s thou... so just helped you out filling in that part then 💁🏻♂️
I may be wrong here, but he said his wrx has the 255, but it's the 205, the 255 didn't come until 08. I have a wrx and an STI and have rebuilt my STI and dropped a JDM in the WRX
The Chassis as well are reinforced on the strut towers with thicker metal and certain other sections . Throughout the STI chassis there are certain reinforced sections that are not on the wrx. There is Definitely a difference between the WRX and STI chassis that go unnoticed
I'm proud owner of 06 sti I'm planning to keep it until end of the world
Dominik Gorowski do it no matter what. I had an 06 STi and got rid of it to get an FXT before I had my daughter. I miss it everyday
Nicolas A meh, headgaskets are fixable and should be done every 100k km’s. Gas wasn’t so bad even when tuned for 334AWHP. As long as you know your engines limits and follow maintenance schedules you’ll be fine.
Yeah im scared of maintance and blowing something expensive up one of the reason why i dont get one. But i love the subbie rumble. Wish their was something more reliable and good looking like the subbie
junior..... maybe a forester
Just got an 06 a couple months ago. I as well, am never giving it up
You missed major issues, not small the suspension is very different, stis did not come with sunroof unless you got the gentleman edition of which only 800 were made. Rear dif is also different on the sti
but you had to get the gentlemen edition wrx for the sunroof as well
The STI Chassis as well are reinforced on the strut towers with thicker metal and certain other sections . Throughout the STI chassis there are certain reinforced sections that are not on the wrx. There is Definitely a difference between the WRX and STI chassis that go unnoticed and many people are unaware of. Although may not be a big deal too some , DEFINITELY WORTH NOTING.
I own an stock evo 7 but can't wait to buy me an STi either an 05 or an 06 then Il have both my childhood dream cars.
but man the GC8's/22B GOD Mode
Make sure you got that gas station loyalty card
@@Alanphuphalee As an Sti owner i can confirm this statement
a* stock
The windshield is thinner on the sti for “weight reduction” and that model also comes with the intercooler sprayer the headlights are different cause they move up and down
Just found your channel, really solid content! I like your presentation skills: comfortable on camera and to the point, no bs. I've always liked the hawkeye body styling. Best front end of any subaru with the way that grill is designed and the headlights are sick.
Also the red stitching for the steering wheel,shift knob, ebrake and so on is a big thing for the STI. The cluster will also have the STI logo on it(on the rev counter i think). Hoodscoops to the eye on those models are almost the same but the STI scoop is bigger because of the bigger intercooler underneath. That's all i can think of right now
all of these are astethic and the shift light doesnt make a big difference
A few other things, if you throw a base WRX TR in the mix. The TR will have black mirrors instead of paint matched. As well as no side skirts at all. Manual climate controls as well, and the two piece seats that have the adjustable headrest. It also has no fog lights from the factory but should still have the wiring/connectors. Another small thing is the door handles are black instead of chrome. Of course there's more details but I won't go on forever.
Trade it in for a sti..you will feel more complete.
My Dad owns a 95' Impreza STI, Originally an automatic Impreza until it was transmission swapped and STI tuned along with a bottom mounted radiator and a turbo (don't know much about cars but its fast lol)
Beautiful car , great condition , great cinematics and editing great video!
great video, really helped in my sti vs wrx decision making
Steering rack, suspension, diff, headlights are projector on sti
Steering and suspension would be different on the sti
Only the 07 STi has the VF43 turbo while the 04-06 STi has the VF39. Also the gearing is different longer on 07 than 04-06. The 07 STi also is topfeed while 04-06 STi are sidefeed. You also missed that STi come with HID factory. They also don’t have a sunroof. The rear roof vane spoiler is standard only on 06-07 STi. Few things different interior wise is the 04 STi than the 05-07 STi is the steering wheel design and color, grey on 04. The center dash 05-07 have climate control the 04 does not. The seats on the 04 actually have blue on the bottom blusters while the 05-07 STi seats are black on that part. The 04 door design is a smaller blue while 05-07 have the longer design. Also the symmetrical awd is on the 05-07 STi while the 04 does not have it as well as the LSDs are different. The tail lights on the 06 are like a matte grey and the 07 are chrome.(same design thou) 04-05 STi are the red. The rear bumper area that flare bolster is different as the 04 STi don’t have that and the 05-07 does and the rear bumper little bottom piece are also different one is flares inwards other outwards. 🤔 5x100 04 STi, 5x11.43 on 05-07. Suspension is also different , 04 STi has the struts that you can take apart and “relube” while 05-07 can’t. The springs and sways etc different too and rear diff. Wrx don’t have front diff STi does. Etc oh also the keys on the 04 STi are cool looking the others are basic hahaha
I dont think he did much research for this vid.
Thanks for sharing that was pretty cool. I want a Subi so bad...
Proud owner of a 05 and 06 sti. Both in wrb and dont plan on getting rid of them any time soon
Now you just need a 08-10, 11-14, 15-17 and 18-20 to complete your collection lol.
Damn! That STi looks new AF dude. Very nice!!
The my09 WRX has the STI turbo from factory. The red lights on dash. So improved by a lot from previous WRX model's
Very good and informative video, subscribed!
The STI also has a larger clutch system. Oversized throwout bearing, bigger flywheel, and also the clutch and pressure plate are bigger. The steering and suspension system is also beefier and can handle more abuse. Idk about the 04-07 STI's but I know that 08+ has electronically adjustable headlights. Other than that good vid man covered most of it!
my 06 sti has adjustable HID headlights.
My 05 STI has adjustable headlights so I would imagine those do too
Looks really clean!
Thanks man! Im planning to buy but i dont know the difference between sti and wrx lol i just got my license. Cheers from japan!
6 speed swap???
Don't forget the sti has a quicker steering rack. You also missed the brembos on the sti and the different suspension. Not such small things. I have the same 06 STI and I fuckin love it. Ur doing a great job though. Subie love
Does that roof spoiler fit a 2016 STI? Absolutely love it!!
Dude I love the headlights you have
I feel like I’m the only evo owner that actually watches this videos dope vid bruv
I dont like subarus that much but i always watch alex lol.
Thanks guys!
Alexander Vargas np we just love the content you put out 🔥🔥 and the Instagram post 🔥🔥
Nope, 700hp Evo 8 here!
Your not the only one i just got an evo X a month ago man !
I have a 2012 sti, which has a different front diff type than the 2012 wrx. the wrx is open diff, sti is limited slip. idk if thats the same for the 06 or not.
Nice video brotha 👍🏼
Sti headlights are actually different. They came with hids and leveling feature. But visually they look the same
not all did
At least all 06-07 sti did can’t confirm for other MYs
@@DahCATZpajamaz39 yea, i think the blobeye didn't
Is that exhaust on his STI stock? I asked because I have the same car and I bought it from a friend who had the turbo 3 inch straight piped turbo back but the muffler he has on it looks like that one.
I understand this is an old video, but are there any tips on how you obtain basically stock and in good condition old project cars like these? Where do you go to look and how much are you paying?
The main this is the Drivetrain. The front/rear limited slip differential and the DCCD.
Was your wrx side feed injectors? Cause 07 Sti are top feed, also 06 Sti has a vf39 07 sti vf43 with bigger IWG. 06 Sti has shorter gearing than an 07 Sti.
I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now, but, I HAD to subscribe!
Thanks!!
Alexander Vargas you going slam, drag or track build? Maybe even AWD Drifting?
Also the block on the ej255 is open deck where as the 257 is semi closed
The steering rack is 2.6 turns to lock. WRX is 3.2
Keeping hands at 9&3 you'll never have to move them for a hairpin
07 STi has an aluminum hood, over-boost factory tune; 30hp.
And a 4.10 final drive vs. 3.65 for the 06 STi.
What is that beep coming from the engine bay of the sti?
Where did u buy that body kit and what taillight are those
Hey, what are those canards on the WRX?
One thing I hate about the sti is the reverse cable rattle or shifter rattle . PITA, wish it didn’t have it .
Great video !
Which is better?wrx or a sti..or wrx sti?please help me,i really need to know
I feel like you're ignoring the "R" in wrx
I was planning to buy a car around 10-15k as a somewhat daily switch around between my civic 97 on rpf1s and another car I was thinking a Subaru sti 06 or 07 but I don’t know how reliable they are? I would try to get one close to stock and I know I would have to do some mods to make it better but usually they have a Cobb on them already around here and modded I’m not sure what to do or think of any other car that would be good for me to get around that price range? Is the subie worth it?
If you want a reliable well taken care of used sti, it's gonna cost you a lot of money and are hard to find. If you can buy it new and take care of it and you will not have any problems i talk from experience.
i could not afford a STI so i brought a turbo forester - and swapped it out over 6 years = with STI and better race - street parts !
I miss this look on the WRX bro
Bolt pattern on the wheels is different as well
The suspension is completely different and imo that tranny in the STI is bulletproof. I’m on my 2nd 2006 STI and I obviously love it.
I’m jealous ❤️❤️
I just bought the same model and color yesterday!!!!
Good 4 u. Enjoy it.
Your favorite color must be blue. I cant tell the difference what so ever when looking at these cars unless someone points them out. Not a huge car person but i love your videos
Thanks bro!
Bro i know im late but you make amazing vids
Thanks!
07 STI is the best STI ever. 06 STI is side feed injectors , 07 STI came with top feed injectors and 06-07 wrx has top feed as well.
no its not
Mark my words one day this channel is gonna take off
Thank you so much!
not all sti 6 speeds come with DCCD. but all are strong :P
Mine is the mix of both I guess, seriously..... I am here to find out which exactly is mine! Still not able to identify 😢
My 06 sti has a roof spoiler too
06-07 sti came with it, I think he just missed it
What spoiler is that exactly?
I have a JDM 2004 sti 6years now, im never selling it!!
A bought a 2006 sti but under is very rusted 😢 anyone knows if a wrx shell will work for me
I knew all of the differences already.. NOTICE ME SENPAI!!!
2007 sti have the back seat pulldown for drinks and to get into the trunk, 2006 stis didnt come with that, ive read the 2007 sti has better gearing in the transmission as well then the 2006, i have a 2006 lol, pretty much the same thing tho.
Dcd / sti suspension / ej257 / 7500rpm redline / 300 hp / sti exhaust , sti seats , sti intercooler , vf39 turbo/ sti 6 speed/ Brembo's / sti stearing rack
Is it the same with the blobe eye sti?i mean the features u show here..how can i compare them? between wrx and sti blobeyes
04 sti is different. 05 sti is pretty clutch the same as Hawkeye
@@_AlexanderVargas glad to hear that,im getting one soon.Can't wait to join the club!🤜🤛
I don’t know about your the hawk eye
But for the 2008-2013
The wrx is single avcs
The sti is dual avcs
Rigo Medina that’s gr sti platforms on the v25 heads and newer however sti cams are a little bigger on the gd platform than Wrx’s
My 2012 STI is a wide body with some major differences from the WRX he didn't mention
The V9 Usdm Wrx Sti was the only gd body to receive the EJ257 in fact I believe you had to get a Forster Sti just to get that particular engine in Asia and Europe. The Asian and European cars all had EJ207 engines which is actually the homologation rally engine. The 2.5l was to big for wrc, and it was used in the larger Forster to help overcome the weight of the heavier vehicle.
Jeffrey Meyer the JDM ej207 craps on the USDM ej257. Forged engine, twin scroll turbo setup, etc. the 257 is over bored short stroke that eats piston rings, a 207 won’t do that!
Hahaha yeah I know I have a 257 at home, thought about a rebuild but the 207 in my 02 wrx is a beast. Would almost rather just get some jdm Sti heads and wire up avcs.
Jeffrey Meyer wish we got the 207 over here, it’s such a superior engine. Not to far off from a 4g63 stock vs stock which is impressive.
Driveitsideways 1 I would agree
Ej207 beats ej257
3 subies! Damn bro you got $$$$$
1 is a performance car
1 is a sedan with a turbo
ej255 single avcs, ej257 has dual avcs. sti has r180 diff and wrx has r160
😂 of course
always sti!
Well, where I live the STI is about twice the price of a WRX, and the WRX is already expensive so kind of a straight choice into the WRX
are you going to make a video about why you should buy a wrx?
Bugeye Bryan being cheap and not getting the sti only reason
KingZD1 maybe for the old ones, but the newest generation are completely different cars (wrx vs. sti)
JP Farms & Customs ya idk about newer ones other than the shifter, suspension, and diff engine.
@@KingZD1 Well yeah being cheap is a good reason to buy a wrx, but someone might have the money to get an sti, but if that someone decides to get the wrx so he can use that extra thousands of dollars to make it better then the sti, then wrx would be the better choice. Unless you're broke like me then you get the wrx
Fuckkkkk yeah broooo. GangGang.
How much can you get a 2006 Sti hawk eye nowadays
Anthony Rojas 8k-12k. Average
07 sti comes with polished tail lights, 06's come in silver
What’s the intro song?
Hard to find some in good condition 😔
Ricky Gomez fax I’m on the hunt since in summer will resume working and that’s when I will be able to get permit and a bit a car :) since I live in all season place I decided subaru is the perfect car for me looks so nice to good luck to you all drive safe
Keep the stock sti look, but make the engine spastic!
Can the transmission be swap from sti to wrx ??
yes!
Why do I feel that everything in Cali seems like things cost a dollar for most people lol
YouSneaky B no lol we just like going into debt lol
Ralph lol oh goodness
Everything is overpriced here in cali people just use their credit 💀
Bro so I just found a 05 Sti near me with 72,000 miles, mint condition, no accidents but had 4 owners. Should I try to buy it?
I hope you bought it
4 owners, dont buy it. That's a clear sign that something's wrong with the car but they're not telling you. Unless you own your own shop and are ready to completely rebuild that car after getting a good deal on it i wouldn't buy it.
I have an sti too! But i drive a wrx
Yea but 2nd hand STIs are double the price . I would buy a newer sti over a wrx ( unless its a gc8 or blobeye) just for price sake.
Desfrute el sti. Cuidaco con el turbo banjo bolt tbe screen can get c.ogged up if you don't do freguent oil changes. Yo cambio el aceite 5w-30 every 3000 miles I ha e a 2006 sti with 125,000 miles just spt added. Saludos desde pedro
How you afford them ? Those 2006 Hawkeye models cost a fortune here in New Zealand
$20000aud in Australia , teenagers buy Toyota 86 new they're a little bit more
@@coopsnz1 Hawkeyes rare as in NZ and most are north of $35000 nz , its crazy money considering what else you could get for that , I think the 2019 model is starting to return to form , thought the 2015 , 16 ,17 and 18 looked like a Toyota camry although ive seen a full supped up camry in china and it was stunning haha , but love the wrx sti , maybe one day , have to pay the mortgage off first
07 comes with a factory aux jack 😂
Yup, also longer gears and I think different diff. I also read some where that the 07 had few differences that the 06 sti heads
What's a HP... deferens and torque???? Between those two
70hp , jdm specs like uk and down under 60hp
Injectors on those years are actually the same size
I'm an EVO guy but the boxer rumble and 6 speed is amazing on STi
dsourn did you know the rumble is caused by a inefficient manifold design? Twin scroll/equal length is far better which is what the JDM STi comes with
@@sleeper.simulant7327 I already knew equal length is better overall for the EJ engines but without it, it just sounds like your typical Honda, you know its a Subaru is coming around the block if you hear that rumble
dsourn and you also know it’s not a fast Subaru if it has the rumble... if you hear a EL STi with EWG’s coming up on you chances are he’s making serious power... and they sound like Evo’s with EL’s, not Honda’s. Honda’s sound the way they do because of a very efficient design, if you want rumble buy a v8.
@@sleeper.simulant7327 actually evo 10 has unequal lengths, not as big as sti but enough to have the rumble to it. I'm fully aware power of equal lengths. Still I dont race or do pulls in my car. My evo never seen past 90 or 5k in the last 4 years since I got it.
dsourn my Speed6 also has a very slight “unequal” header, it doesn’t rumble though it’s more of a growl. Subaru’s UEL setup is very different and cylinders 2/4 have long runners, excessive heat builds up due to gases taking a long time to expel which is a reason they’ll eat piston rings on that side, excessive wear occurs.
Buy one bro
I’d just buy a WRK put a Cosworth crate motor into it and a WRP10 5speed gearbox (better gearing than wrx and more durable better acceleration than the sti 6 speed) and build the diffs with exedy heavy duty clutch
The only thing different is the engine n suspension
Trailing arms
Bro you should rocket bunny that B 😈
Two words “resale value”...
STI has dual variable cams the WRX only has intake variable cam
I believe that depends on the year. The Dual was introduced in 2008
@@_AlexanderVargas that sounds right. I was thinking about my 14
Hp?????
