Install: RCE Yellow Springs
In my previous post, I mentioned that my front driver’s side RCE Yellow spring broke. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bev5RsXFrNi/ So I placed an order with Kyle@Subieworks for another set of RCE Yellows. RSD shipped them out promptly, and the package arrived on Tuesday, I took off early from work to get my car back on the road. I had…

Install: Subtle Solutions Fender Braces
Fender braces are one of those modifications that provide a great bang for the buck. They can be had for around $100 and the steering feel/handling upgrade is similar to that of improving throttle response. If you like suspension response mods, put this one on your list. The only downside is the installation. You can install…

Install: SSR GT2 17×8.5 +48mm Wheels [Part 1]
Wheel Specs SSR / GT2 / 17×8.5 / +48mm / 5×100 When my wheels arrived (well half of them at least) and I went ahead and bolted one of them up to see how it would look on the Bugeye. In the pics, at least from certain angles, the wheel design looks a little flat.…

Install: Flipped Control Arm Pin (Free Caster Mod)
I initially heard about this mod on Nasioc but I can’t seem to find the thread. After removing the Whiteline top hats I needed more positive caster in my life. Turn in, even in daily driving mode, is annoyingly worse than before. So with new wheels almost ready to install (along with the holiday break),…

Install/Review: 2002-2003 Bugeye v2 Front Lip (eBay knock-off)
I picked up this replica v2 lip on eBay on Black Friday. I love the look of the v2 lip on the Bugeyes, however, I assumed my driveway would destroy it like it did to the v-limited lip on my 2005 STi. Rather than sacrificing a legit v2 lip, should I actually find one, I…

Install: TurboXS 3-Inch Mid-Pipe
This was kind of an impulse purchase. I wanted my exhaust to be louder, but I didn’t have the funds to purchase the catback I wanted – the Tomei Titanium Ti. After youtubing a few videos on eBay catbacks, I decided to stick with my Genome exhaust after watching this clip again. The TurboXS 3-inch…

Install: Group-N Front Top Hats
After going through my options in a previous post, I decided to go with the Group-N top hats. I’m going to school and starting a new job so I needed a known quantity for a reliable setup. I won’t have the time to tinker with my car like I want to. However, the swap took…
