In this thrilling episode of throtl, the team unleashes their full potential on a 2007 Subaru STI, transforming it into an absolute beast. With a lineup of top-notch performance parts from Mishimoto, Cobb, Downstar, Car Boy, and APR, they dive headfirst into the engine bay. The addition of carbon fiber components like the hood, front lip, diffuser, and dual spoilers by Sabon not only enhances the STI's aesthetics but also boosts its aerodynamics for a true rally-inspired look.
But that's not all - throtl doesn't just stop at appearances. They prioritize functionality by upgrading to a thicker xline radiator from Mishimoto for superior cooling performance. The installation of a Cobb SF intake system ensures optimal air filtration and a more aggressive induction noise, adding a symphony of power to the STI's roar. With the addition of a Cobb air oil separator and Car Boy pitch stop mount, the team focuses on stability and engine health, preventing carbon buildup and ensuring a smooth, reliable performance on the road or track.
As the modifications continue, a Mishimoto oil cooler with a clever thermostatic switch is mounted, providing efficient oil cooling tailored to the STI's needs. The team doesn't forget the importance of monitoring vehicle parameters, installing a Cobb access port for real-time insights and pre-tuned modifications. Aesthetic upgrades like the beauty dress-up bolt kit by Downstar and sleek spider projector headlights elevate the STI's visual appeal, setting the stage for the grand finale - custom-painted wheels and a tantalizing hint at even more jaw-dropping modifications to come in the next episode.
