Mods: DIY Anti-Lift (02-07 WRX/STi)
Overview I have been looking around for an Anti-Lift Kit (ALK) that uses pillow ball bushings over polyurethane. I’m not a huge fan of poly in control arm bushings even though it would probably fine. I just would like to keep any suspension bind to a minimum. The only pillow ball setups I could findContinue reading “Mods: DIY Anti-Lift (02-07 WRX/STi)”
Install: KSTech 6.5mm Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers

My goal right now is to get as many of my cosmetic mods installed as I can during the winter; then paint them after the spring semester. The quality of these pieces is ok. There areContinue reading “Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 1)”
Bugeye on a Budget: Grimmspeed Antenna Delete
This mod is pretty simple, albeit slightly frustrating to install. You will have to pull the head unit and the driver’s side carpet up a little bit to remove the OEM antenna. I thought I disconnected the antenna the last time I pulled the head unit but I guess I didn’t. I have a cheapContinue reading “Bugeye on a Budget: Grimmspeed Antenna Delete”
