No guts till 3500rpm
Now it's 7 years since my last Impreza and I've had an RS Focus 2010 and now got a new S3 but this 2003 STI does pic up very well until I get it in the rev ranged above 3500rpm!!!
I don't seem to remember it being like that!!??A
any offers guys?
Its a big standard car with 62k on.

Just when I put my foot down!
the only why it kicks in to life is when I have it revved up around 3-3500rpm
I was thinking maybe vac pipe leak or something?

Ah another one sucked in by the hype...
Standard STI's are rubbish mate, which is why everyone changes so much on them, remap is only going to make it spool up about 200rpm sooner, so after you've shelled out about £2k to change the turbo, remap and a few ancillaries... you'll still need to sort the handling, so get saving for a set of Bilstines, bushes... rollbars etc, etc...
Should of bought a WRX if you wanted get up and go.
