The STI is not tempermental at all. I've owned both a WRX and STI and collectively put over 100k miles between the two and they were nothing but extremely reliable and easy to work with.

Do you ever just drift the fuck out for no reason because it's the JDM thing to do?

No need to turn this into a evo vs sti debate. They are both fine cars with their ups and downs.

Every single turn.

Very nice. I hated these cars for the longest time until about 3 months ago when I started hanging out with guys who have them. I agree with the previously stated opinions on the black wheels looking better, but thank you for keeping it stock body-wise; looks great.

Who do you use as your tuner? Chris Mellon (Mellon Racing) is a close friend of mine and is planning to move here within the next month. He specializes in tuning Evo's and has done a few of my friend's cars around here. Very consistent, reliable tune, at great prices.

Also, what type of boost controller are you running and are you still using the stock turbo?
