Further to my earlier post, are there any 2008 WRX STI that haven't had problems with the Pistons?

M

 

I'm touching a lot of wood at the moment though 43,000 and no issues so far.....

 

Wasnt there a guy on here that was over 100k miles on the standard hatch STi engine!!!

 

Some eggs don't break . ( fragile as they are )

 

24hrs and only 1 survivor so far,,,,, hahaha

 

I'm just over 30k miles and all OK (touching more wood) But it is a 330s which they said had a different map



your're only jealous John, btw what's happening your 15yr old STi car?

 

I've got a 2009. No issues at all in 30000 miles. There arn't that many out there so replies will be small in volume anyway. I'm selling mine if anybody is interested! I've had it since new and fancy a change. Vince

 

there you go Matchu1001 a car for you... one owner.. no issues and you know it's history.

you don't know what's happened to a 7yr old car that's had 4+ owners! wrong fuel.. red lined everywhere!!

 

you mean the one that did 105,000 miles and 17 years old before the engine wore out ratehr than self destruct?

wouldn't really say thats bad going lol

 

Looks like I've managed to find one that has been forged by ap Impreza, also has updated turbo, clutch, currently sitting at 350bhp. Should there be any reliability issues with this being a daily driver? It has 4 previous owners and 70k on clock, engine work done last year.

 

There are a few about with high miles, one sold near to me recently. It was 120-140k miles as I recall. There are issues but not all of them have problems. So either buy a standard one and factor in the cost of a rebuild or buy one with a fresh forged engine. I did the later (330S) and I am not disappointed.

 

That's great.

I'd ring AP Impreza and go over what they did on the car so you know what was paid for etc


Also check on here if it's a car a member has owned

 

I've spoken to AP and they have confirmed the work they did to it, all run in etc.......

Just wished I'd not took a test drive in a Evo 8 today as it's just confused me, was expecting not to like it but I did.

 

I got a 2010 sti hatch. 75.000 no problems as yet loving it. !!!!!

 

I got 2008 sti, bought 3rd March 2008. No issues though it has been mapped by Bob Rawle

Had my 2008 hatch sti just over 2 years. 42000 miles mapped to approx 350bhp and had no issues on standard pistons
