Best of luck to you with that EJ Life
Thanks man!!

The RA/2019+ have stronger internals than the 15-18 and I don't plan to push her too much.. TMIC/Catted DP/Tune/Supporting mods (rad upgrade/cyl 4 cooling mod)..

I'm moving back to the PNW next year, so this move, to me, makes sense.. I have a lot of equity in my R right now and, I hate to say it, but the sound.. there's no comparison.. and sound is a big deal for me.

yeah thats definitely a good thing. I told myself id never jump into an STI unless I had new shortblock money laying around lol. Hard to pass up free cash selling the CTR for sure.

I think a lot of us are in this boat.. Temptation is a mofo.. Just have a solid plan, and stick to it.. Ad Hoc'ing is when shit goes sideways, lol..

Yeppers, but honestly I donā€™t know of any replacement vehicle that be equal or step up. Iā€™d bet many feel same way. Lots of eyes on Toyota but no Yaris coming, Corolla imitates new 86 in part. Thatā€™s not a bad thing but certainly not the well rounded excitement of Gen-X CTR, still thrilled more than greedy here.

I picked up a 2018 Subaru STI Type RA yesterday.. came with AWE Track CBE (Sounds like gorillas fuckin'.. I LOVE IT!!!!!)

Will also be having a minor part out.. (post coming soon)

I was gonna get a Type RA too till I test drove it. It had 28k miles and was selling for 36k. Seemed slow compared to a stock R, but with stock exhaust it sounded rumbly..

It's definitely slower than the R, but I can get it close to it, I feel, with some mods. I did it mainly for the noise, because no matter what you do, the CTR will never sound as good as an STI with just a Nameless Axelback.. and I wanted AWD..

The front end isn't nearly as sharp as the R (you gotta be more of a hooligan with the wheel), but it's sharper than any other STI (sans S209). More feel in the wheel (hydraulic rack) and the shifter (pretty much straight into the gearbox) than the R, imo.

There both good cars, I just wanted something a little different. Type RA is definitely sick with the carboon roof and BBS wheels, etc. I want AWD too, but I'd probably just get a basemodel WRX. The shifting in both the Type RA and Type R are amazing... two of the best manual cars to drive and subaru and honda know how to make a manual..

This came in today. Iā€™ve been wanting to try this shift knob for a while to see how it feels. The build quality and weight it provides is superb. The box is actually quite nice too (area that most manufacturers donā€™t really care about). It does feel great in the hand. It shifts very similarly to the stock 2020 setup, but has additional weight. It also cleaned up a bit of the slop when shifting to even gears (2, 4, 6) but adds a longer throw (very long throw).

Only huge downfall is that the retaining nut will have the 2020+ stock shift boot sagging about ā…›ā€.

Today I (say it with me) added more red.

Start button Alcantara surround (Sweidit) and honeycomb red button decal (JetsVinyl), and red sun visor. Note not plural (s) as I have both but mangled my drivers side visor release to where it wonā€™t turn when pivoted 45-side window to release. Watched every YT vid, just being inept me.

Installed Hybrid Racing transmission detent springs today. You won't need to remove the metal battery tray per HR instructions, unless you have huge hands. Found this out after putting everything back.

Shifting is a little more forceful into the gears. Shifter snaps into neutral more passively. Combined with the HR shifter, it has a really good feel. Got it during Black Friday, and with a group buy from my local FK8 group, it is worth $17 shipped.

Installed some stuff over the past couple weeks, swift springs on my desmond regas, hybrid short shifter with didupholstery suede shift plate with red stitching, with renegade titanium shift knob. Also put my hondata into the center to show it off...

Got to install my Swedit A Pillars next week along with radium PVC single catch can and radium coolant tank.

PRL turbo inlet and race MAF housing installed over the weekend. What a pain in the ass. The bottom bolt is almost impossible to get to even unbolting and moving the wiring harness aside. Reflashed the ECU and now I need a new battery for my key fob.
