Subaru Community

Hallo guys,

My name is Kir and im from New York City and im looking to move to Germany sometime this summer and just have some questions about it. I was wondering if anyone can help me out with some questions i have about my car! I have a 2006 Subaru STi with a good bit of modifications done to it and just had some questions about how hard is it to pass inspection there?

I want to bring my car from USA to Germany with me.

I can show pictures if you guys like.

Also i have a been looking through the forums a bit and you guys look like fun. My German is not good yet since i just started studying last week but it will get better as time goes on. I have been working on Subarus for the past 3 years and i know a good bit.

I will also be visiting Koln next month if anyone is located there?

Yeah im not military... just civilian. I have a girlfriend in Koln and starting to make the move over now.

I hear its going to be tough but id like to know exactly what would be the process if i wanted to try.

My motor is VERY close to stock.. All i have is a intake and exhaust which is easily sold and removeable.. the motor can be back to stock within a day. Will a stock motor even cause problems with TUV?

Im wondering what exactly the problem is?

Most of my Modifications are in the exterior.. I have

Aftermarket 2-piece slotted rotors
Lowered Suspension on Cobb Springs
STOCK HIDs (The ones that came with the car)
Carbon Fiber Front Lip
Advan RZ wheels 18X9 +35 and im running a bit of Camber
I also have two aftermarket BRIDE seats in the front.
Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Craft Square mirrors.

I will put some pictures up and maybe that will help a little.






Ive spent tons of time and money on the car and id love to at LEAST keep the car if possible.. I dont mind selling or taking off some of the mods to pass inspection.... I appreciate everyones help!

I dont want to sell my car

Thanks for the offer Lee ill be there from March 26th for a week or so.

Im up here late doing some research and im finding out a couple of things.

I do have the stock Mirrors still in my garage and can put that on the car very quickly.

1. Also US-STis come with HIDs stock.. TUV will know that American cars have HIDs and not Xenon lights?

2. I also do not have the headlight washers that you guys have... might be a problem.

3. I dont have that rear foglight that you guys have.. also might be a problem.

Also im hearing that i need to change the tires too.. which is perfectly fine because the one i have a pretty much finished!

Id love to speak with the guy that has the US-STI

Once again i appreciate everyones help =)

Thanks again guys for all the help =)

I will be in Germany end of next month to visit and have a look around!
