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

I'm proud owner of 06 sti I'm planning to keep it until end of the world

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.

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

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

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

I feel like I’m the only evo owner that actually watches this videos dope vid bruv

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

Proud owner of a 05 and 06 sti. Both in wrb and dont plan on getting rid of them any time soon

Trade it in for a sti..you will feel more complete.

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

Steering rack, suspension, diff, headlights are projector on sti

Steering and suspension would be different on the sti

6 speed swap???

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!

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.

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

Sti headlights are actually different. They came with hids and leveling feature. But visually they look the same

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.

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)

The main this is the Drivetrain. The front/rear limited slip differential and the DCCD.

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.

I feel like you're ignoring the "R" in wrx

Keep the stock sti look, but make the engine spastic!

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.

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 !

Beautiful car , great condition , great cinematics and editing great video!

Mark my words one day this channel is gonna take off

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!

1 is a performance car 1 is a sedan with a turbo

One thing I hate about the sti is the reverse cable rattle or shifter rattle . PITA, wish it didn’t have it .

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?

The my09 WRX has the STI turbo from factory. The red lights on dash. So improved by a lot from previous WRX model's

Thanks for sharing that was pretty cool. I want a Subi so bad...

are you going to make a video about why you should buy a wrx?

I have a JDM 2004 sti 6years now, im never selling it!!

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

I just bought the same model and color yesterday!!!!

Hard to find some in good condition 😔

Does that roof spoiler fit a 2016 STI? Absolutely love it!!

Mine is the mix of both I guess, seriously..... I am here to find out which exactly is mine! Still not able to identify 😢

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.

Damn! That STi looks new AF dude. Very nice!!

I don’t know about your the hawk eye But for the 2008-2013 The wrx is single avcs The sti is dual avcs

I miss this look on the WRX bro

I knew all of the differences already.. NOTICE ME SENPAI!!!

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.

Why do I feel that everything in Cali seems like things cost a dollar for most people lol

07 sti comes with polished tail lights, 06's come in silver

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

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.

Dcd / sti suspension / ej257 / 7500rpm redline / 300 hp / sti exhaust , sti seats , sti intercooler , vf39 turbo/ sti 6 speed/ Brembo's / sti stearing rack

great video, really helped in my sti vs wrx decision making

My 06 sti has a roof spoiler too

I'm an EVO guy but the boxer rumble and 6 speed is amazing on STi

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?

ej255 single avcs, ej257 has dual avcs. sti has r180 diff and wrx has r160

Also the block on the ej255 is open deck where as the 257 is semi closed

How much can you get a 2006 Sti hawk eye nowadays

Looks really clean!

Dude I love the headlights you have

I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now, but, I HAD to subscribe!

How you afford them ? Those 2006 Hawkeye models cost a fortune here in New Zealand

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?

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.

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.

😂 of course

always sti!

Very good and informative video, subscribed!

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

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.

not all sti 6 speeds come with DCCD. but all are strong :P

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.

07 comes with a factory aux jack 😂

Nice video brotha 👍🏼

Which is better?wrx or a sti..or wrx sti?please help me,i really need to know

I have an sti too! But i drive a wrx

Great video !

Bolt pattern on the wheels is different as well

A bought a 2006 sti but under is very rusted 😢 anyone knows if a wrx shell will work for me

Bro i know im late but you make amazing vids

What is that beep coming from the engine bay of the sti?

What's a HP... deferens and torque???? Between those two

3 subies! Damn bro you got $$$$$

Exterior: -Wing -Rear bumper design slightly different -Tail lights are different with no reverse like on right hand side -Roof wing -bbs wheels - sti badge - sti fog light covers - sti rear diffuser Interior: - blue door cards - blue carpet - blue seats - 6 speed shifter - red sti cluster -DCCD controls -sti floor mats Drive train: -6 speed sti transmission -slightly larger flywheel and clutch disc - shorter tail shaft -larger R180 LSD diff -Stronger, thicker axels -Brembo brakes -Larger wheel bearing assembly - larger parking brake assembly - 114.3 wheel pattern - sti suspension Engine: -Larger flowing heads -Pistons slightly different design higher comp ratio - VF34 larger turbo - larger injectors - powder coated intake manifold - larger top mount intercooler - sti exhaust system - larger fuel pump Can’t remember if sway bars or steering setup is different or perhaps missed some other small things

Hey, what are those canards on the WRX?

But I like the bugeye wagon more than any sti and buy a truck or something, you don’t need 3 Subaru’s.

What spoiler is that exactly?

Fuckkkkk yeah broooo. GangGang.

What’s the intro song?

Two words “resale value”...

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

Buy one bro

Hp?????

Trailing arms

Injectors on those years are actually the same size

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

06 wrx does not come with that side skirt. Those are from sti.

Not how the Dcc works
