Socal: my '07 STI' for your Taco

Now that you realize majority of the taco guys went from a subi to taco? or vise versa?

Thanks anyways.

 

Fyi its actually an 03 subi with 07 parts on it.

 

Hence the quotes over the '07 sti'

I hope people read before commenting

 

Uh, hardly actually.

 

you should get some details about the swap up there .. along with pics

another victim of the subie to taco trade, I sold my '09 STi for the truck just last year. I am already saving some $$ to buy an older WRX as a DD

 

Went from this


then this happened, I knew of a guy selling an 07 hood and bumper for what it would cost me for a new bug hood so i figured I would just convert. I'm pretty much a perfectionist so I wouldn't even drive the car with the dent in the hood.



stripped her of her bugeye-ness



This is us pulling off the upper tie bar, headlight buckets, and radiator suports off of a real 07 STI



what the original parts were supposed to be



couldnt find a driver fender so I had to settle with these





mid wrap



finished it after staying up till 8 AM two nights in a row...







Have some stock STI fenders on her now waiting to be wrapped matte white, which is in the mail.

Red radiator hoses, and a few other parts will be going on in the meantime (hopefully)

 

One of my favorite Subi front ends. GLWT..

 

Thats kind of shady. Why not be upfront about that in the first post.

 

His Craigslist link says it is an 03. Why not read through all the information provided?

 

His CL list is also titled as a 2007.

So i guess if i get a new hood and head lights and grill i can call my taco a 2013.

The car is a nice car regardless tho.

 

You would also need a new bumper I believe

 

I think i would just get a relentless one

 

.

 

Cool car man. GLWT

 

I would trade you. But you are not close.

 

Get some 04-05 tails do the light mod and that will like perfect. Also is it a real STi or a wanna be? Would like to see block casting numbers cause i have a feeling this is just a rex with STi intercooler and intake mani. I had the same car lol

 

In the title and original post it should specify its a Sti conversion. Car looks dope. I got a Tacoma for trade and I'm actually in SoCal. Ok, it's not really a Tacoma it's a 89 for probe with no hatch. Ok it's not a for probe without a hatch, it's a radio flyer with mismatched wheels and no handle. I have no pics but you can search through all of my threads to find it. Lemme know of you're down to trade.

 

I'll trailer the car halfway. Shit I'll deliver, my brother lives in Flagstaff, and my sister is in Tucson. They could use a visit!

Not that I don't trust the car, I'm a freak about driving her. ~55mph on the fwy gets boring after a while.


For all you others, I am sorry I didn't post the most accurate info I just wasn't expecting it to be that big of a deal ( like this many people )

I is a 2.0. STI is 2.5. Its a bone stock 03 WRX motor. The TMIC is actually bigger then the STI TMIC. Hence the STI a/c lines.

I hope I don't sound mean! If I missed any questions call me out on it I have lots of forums to check up on.

 

Ew those tails are over rated. I had some 07 tails but our foster puppy got ahold of them.

Also, your statement is invalid, STI intake manifolds do not fit on WRX's.

Alll it is is a 03 wrx, vf39 turbo with supporting mods exhaust, intake, big ass tmic. other misc things.

STI is just painted on the TMIC.
