RCM 2002-2007 WRX Tail Light Gaskets
I have been driving the WRX a lot more, and noticed I picked up a leak in my trunk after a rainy road trip. Initially, the leak was caused by a spoiler/wing swap (more on that in another post), but I patched that up only to find that my trunk was still leaking. The mounts…

Install: Delta Motorworks Shifter U-Joint
After installing the Cobb short shifter, I realized that there was still some play in the shifter. The only thing I haven’t replaced is the TS u-joint that came with my 6MT. It is no secret that I am not a huge fan of TS. While some companies are “inspired” by existing designs before making…

Install/Mod: Cobb 6MT Adjustable Short Shifter [New Tall Boi]
I picked up a Cobb adjustable shifter to replace my cobbled together Tall Boi shifter setup. Now that I am happy with the throw of the Tall Boi, I can replicate it with the Cobb shifter setup and remove the multiple layers of 5MT/6MT parts. First thing we need to do is remove the lower…

Install: IAG Oil Pick Up and Tray

Install: Cusco Front/Rear Sway Bars (22mm)
I initially wanted to wait to install the R180 before the sway bars, but the mod bug got the better of me. Also, the R180 will probably require more parts than I initially anticipated. I have a full STi suspension, so I picked up the sway bars from RSD via Kyle at Subiewerks. The first…

Mod: Cusco Rear Lower Subframe Brace
I have done very little chassis bracing in the rear of the WRX even though I know it helps. After installing the front Cusco Subframe Brace, I decided to order the rear Cusco Subframe Brace. The install should have been pretty straightforward. Remove the four bolts holding the swaybar mount brackets in place, pop the…

Mod: Cusco Lower Brace II (JDM)
After the 6MT swap, I noticed that my steering response went down. This could be from the additional 80lbs of mass from the 6MT, the extra rotational weight of the diffs, the front diff adding additional loads on the front suspension, or all of the above. I figured it might be a good time to…
