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
A while back, we installed some Grimmspeed Phenolic intake manifold spacers (3mm) onto my EJ207. I didn’t use gaskets on recommendation from a friend, a Subie mechanic, I used grey RTV instead. Unfortunately, I developed a leak at each runner. Since the spacers were used, I decided to replace them with some fresh units. InsteadContinue reading “Install: KSTech 6.5mm Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers”
Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, I decided to mold the side skirt spats into the side skirts. The primary reason was a cleaner install; I’m a bit paranoid about those self-tapping screws backing out and landing in my tire. But I also wanted to keep debris out of the spats and side skirts. First stepContinue reading “Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 2)”
Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, we are going to continue working on the front bumper. For the fog light covers, I didn’t like the way it looked around the edges or I didn’t trust if the paint would stick to the adhesive so I added a layer of Bondo Glass around the covers. Next, weContinue reading “Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications (Part 2)”
Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications
During the semester winter break, I knew this would probably be my best time to get some modifications done. And since I want to spray the front lip and bumper during the spring, I figured I should probably get a big jump on prepping those items for paint. First thing first, weigh the bumper ofContinue reading “Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications”
Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 1)
I picked up these WRX sides skirt spats from Amazon, however, they are available on eBay as well [affiliate link]. 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)”
Install: OEM Undertray (w/U-Brace Delete)
Most people seem to remove their undertrays but I like them. They keep the elements out which in turn keeps the engine bay cleaner for longer. They probably have some aero functionality as well. My WRX didn’t come with an undertray when I bought it. And after I deleted the U-brace I wasn’t sure ifContinue reading “Install: OEM Undertray (w/U-Brace Delete)”
Install: GDT Cylinder 4 Cooling Mod
Overview I picked up this piece a couple of months ago. I was planning on installing when I did my timing belt but that’s kind of on the backburner until the fall semester is over. If you aren’t familiar, this is the GetADomTune (GDT) cylinder 4 coolant mod. It is supposed to introduce reverse coolingContinue reading “Install: GDT Cylinder 4 Cooling Mod”
Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, this post will cover the STi side splitters I added to the v2 eBay lip. And if you don’t know what STi side splitters are here is a pic. These splitters are found on 04-05 STi (Blobeye) models. I believe the Hawkeyes got some too but those are integrated intoContinue reading “Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 2)”
Install: v7 JDM STi Grill Mods (Part 2)
Picking up where I left off on the v7 JDM STi grill in Part 1, it’s now time to remove the drift stitches and make this piece structurally whole again. Or at least attempt to. The first area I wanted to address was the crack below the main stitches. With a sharp blade, I removedContinue reading “Install: v7 JDM STi Grill Mods (Part 2)”
