Just a quick background - My name is Greg and I have been a Subaru fanatic since high school. I finally had the chance to buy a brand new WRX last year while deployed in Iraq. I ordered my car, while in Iraq, in March of 2010. The car arrived at the dealer in May of 2010 (2 months before I came home!!! Longest 2 months of my life..). I soon began buying things for my car before I even owned it!

MAY 2010

First pictures ever of my car. My mom sent them to me in an e-mail while I was still deployed:

Among the items purchased for the car were the swaybar, endlinks, cat-back, steering rack bushings, short shifter and bushings, front lip, boost gauge, knob, and a set of springs.

JULY 2010

After I got home, I picked up the car 2 days later:

The modding began immediately

First: debadged the car

Then went to town with all the other goodies. The car had under 700 miles when all the initial stuff went on:

Later, I got around to installing the boost gauge. This is where it was mounted temporarily:

Some randoms with Josh (856Jersey)'s car:

Front lip installed:

AUGUST 2010

After just a month, and about 1,000 miles, I blew a strut. So, what better reason to upgrade to coilovers!

ISC N1 Coilovers:

Installed:

SEPTEMBER 2010

So, I couldn't resist much longer, I gave in and bought a Cobb AccessPort with Perrin's stage 1 map..... This was the way the car should have come from the factory!!!

Some randoms from the fall 2010:

WINTER 2010 - 2011

Since the car comes stock with summer performance tires, I figured it was a good idea to pick up some winter ones

General Altimax Arctic mounted on 16" steelies.

I also painted the "mustache" on my grill flat black to match the rest of it.

Winter Mode!!:

Around christmas time, I really got going on some more goodies. Invidia DP installed with Torqued Performance stage 2, and got my gauge pod finally! Also installed a Cobb XLE bypass valve.

It was a good first winter with AWD

gregonfire · 11-18-2011, 12:48 AM

MARCH

Bought my TRS retro-quik hid kit and had lightwerkz in NNJ do the install. They were great! Had them do the DRL delete and also since my HID's are bi-xenon, I have the stock high's come on with the bi-xenons. So ****ing bright!

SUMMER

Got my car tinted by Dynamic Tint - 35% front, 20% rears

After waiting over a month, my PW IC arrived from Australia! Thing is massive for a top mount! Also installed the GS 3-port, plugs, and went TP stage 3!

Randoms from summer:

FALL

Swapped out the Invidia n1 for an Invidia Q300

impressive so far, just need some shoes !!!!

856jersey · 11-18-2011, 06:39 AM

Loving the build thread dude! I've never seen some of these pictures before and that picture of my car hurts my eyes lol

jen. · 11-18-2011, 08:21 AM

Looks really good! It took a little while for the new subie hatches to grow on me, but now I love them! Any more plans for the car?

Haha, yeah I'm glad you got rid of those wheels dude. Still sexy regardless though.

Thank you

The only plans power wise that I have are to get a few more bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, fuel pump,) and get it dyno tuned. I'm really trying to hold out because I want to run e-85 SOOO bad, but it's not available in my area yet. I'm hoping to make as close to 350whp / 400wtq as possible.

updated 4th post with more history!

Love this car! Very cleanly done, and great choice of mods! Subscribing to see how this continues. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Probably won't be much after I catch up to the current mods, but I do have a couple plans for this winter, nothing major though.
