I thought you changed to a LGT? -
Blow off value is perfectly legal. As does not do any modification to any parts of the car. Especially for HKS SSQV which is a direct bot on.Originally posted by eric3417:Is it illegal to install one?

Yup but change my mind after test drivin the STI.Originally posted by manualisbetter:In subaru forum, the same question is raised before and it is yes.

A much more exciting ride. More Fun as well. Price difference only 2k somemore. Considering the Specs / accessories(Brembo/Inter-cooler etc.) -
good for you man... to afford and maintain a STi is not easy especially the FC, the amount of petrol it consumpt should be high...Originally posted by eric3417:Yup but change my mind after test drivin the STI.

tell us your first-hand driving experience when you get your car, ok? -
Actually i'm also waitin to see wat the Fuel consumption would be like.
Still got another week b4 can take car. Maintainence more expensive by alot?
coz i'm not to sure whether the turbo needs maintenence.
My previous IS200 also drinks alot of petrol. My average for drivin it for 3mths is around $450 p/m. For my IS servicing for Engine Oil + Auto - Oil etc easily cost me $300.

From the STi driver in subaru forum, one commented that he could never get above 8km per litre how matter how he drives in it. Not sure is this true but this figure is really scary at least in my personal opinionOriginally posted by eric3417:Actually i'm also waitin to see wat the Fuel consumption would be like.

For your new STi, you have not auto gearbox oil to maintain but you will have the Turbo to maintain in the long term.
Even though i respect and like the STi a lot in term of performance and looks, i have reservation for TC car. A NA with high end tuning (like a Euro R) is still my choice... just to save, save and save for the day to come
