From STI to Tacoma

How’s it going everybody? I’m Roman and I’m now an owner of a 2017 Tacoma TRD sport access cab. I’m sure you can guess what color the truck is. I was driving an 04 Subaru Sti for about 3 years and sadly it wasn’t the ideal daily driver so had to sell. Heck of a car though! I’ve always been familiar with tacomas and their reputation for reliability so had to experience it first hand. Mine literally has 33 miles as we speak and looking to enjoy every single mile she has to offer. The first thing I thought about when I bought it were wheels. I’m curious to see what kind of aftermarket wheels you guys/gals are running with factory suspension. I’ll post pics later because I currently have none on my phone. Thanks everyone!

 

Welcome! I just ponied up 6 weeks ago. Did you get one with the third pedal?

 

Congrats. Lots of us WRX/STI owners here with Tacomas. Mine is a 16 Limited 6MT.

 

Unfortunately, no. I was looking at a few but they sold before I had a chance to make it to the dealer. Feels nice giving my leg a break after using a stage 2 clutch for years though.

 

I had a feeling there would be lots of subie owners here lol.

 

highest resale value owners hang out together

good thing my tacos don't have the subpar subaru build quality with head gaskets and ring land issue

then again i have low iq and owned subarus since 1987 with my first Subaru Justy

 

Subaru problems huh. Can’t stay away though haha. What are some reputable websites for aftermarket Tacoma parts/ accessories?

 

For all your forced induction pleasures https://paradiseracing.com/ Luis is a genius with yota motors

LCE has lots of good bolt ons from exhaust to intake and brakes.. but lately I've had issues when asking for advice so idk maybe check out URD as well

@SCSPerformance for your wheels they are the only truly Toyota specific wheels outside of TRD.

@HeadStrong Off-Road if you plan on lifting or anything of the such the few times I've dealt with Marie she's been nothing short of exceptional.

 

Nothing wrong with a Tacoma or a Subaru.
I've got both.

 

Welcome to TW Roman!

 

Welcome from Texas!

 

Thank you I’ll definitely check those sites out later.

 

I loved my Subaru but it was my only car and was going to need a rebuild soon. Didn’t want to throw more money into it at the moment.

 

I’ve still got two of them

 

Must be nice. I’ll be back in a Subaru some day I hope

 

Well, the fun one is gone (forester xt) so don't envy me too much. Just a Legacy and an OB left...because kids. The Taco is "my new to me toy"...things need building, like the playground, the fenced in back yard, a home addition (LOL, twins), etc. Truck was a must have...turbo street machine...not so much.

 

The FRS is gone too...but that was because getting in and out was giving my left knee fits. Getting old sucks.

 

Welcome OP. I just traded my 2010 double cab off road 6MT for a 2018 wrx limited 6MT

 

Turbo legacy? Can’t relate because I don’t have kids but I understand. An sti seems pretty family friendly as well though. It is a sedan
