Ok so I finally started my own journal...

Bought my first subaru in October of last year.

I had just sold my Mustang Because of the trouble I was constantly getting myself into... I was also tired of being only able to go fast in a straight line.

So... I bought myself, a 2005 Subaru WRX... Fully optioned, everything.
Sunroof, heated seats, upgraded sound system, the whole nine.

Bone stock and I happened to know the first owner, who happened to be a retired mechanic.. So I knew the car was immaculate, and with 22k on the clock, I wanted it.Couldn't afford the STI and also didn't want the attention that comes with getting 1.

My first mod was deleting the snorkel in the fender... that didn't last long, a Cobb tuning cold air intake was installed, with a Perrin Afta- Maf extention.

Later that month I picked up a Helix Catted Bellmouth Downpipe used for 100 bucks, had 200 miles on it. Later that week, a Mad dog mid pipe as well as an STI axle back went on. Bought from the same source, for another 100 bucks with same mileage...

Then the next month, an STI tmic and perrin rear swaybar and endlinks went in. Then a Kartboy shortshifter with both sets of bushings.


Then, a boost gauge and a Raptor shift light I had from the stang went in...
A Forgemotorsports Wastgate Actuator went in, and I finely adjusted it to 19.5 lbs. Car moves pretty well...

Next up... Perrin Turbo inlet..
Then, Tein springs and a Turbo XS rfl... dunno why, but I had to try it and it was 60 bucks, so why not.
Picked up Unequal lengths with up pipe thanks to Seven,
And thats how the car sits... Keep in mind folks, all this was done in less than a year. Thats pretty much how it sits now, untuned, daily driven.

Next on list.

Act Flywheel and Clutch. Will be installed with the header up pipe assembly...
Struts.
Road tune By TurboTek...

thats it so far... Stay Tuned! lol
