Review: BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2/AS (255/40/17)

I picked up these tires in the winter of 2018 to replace my Riken Raptor ZR summer tires. Historically, do not run all-season tires but since I didn’t want a dedicated set of winter tires I decided to give all-seasons a shot. I needed to be able to get to school or work and notContinue reading “Review: BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2/AS (255/40/17)”

Review: 2003 Subaru WRX ABS Disabled

Subaru brakes, outside of Brembos, aren’t known for how impressive they are. Pedal feel, is generally ok at best and brake fade can happen under spirited back roads driving, especially at roads like the Tail of the Dragon. Many of these issues can be remedied with stainless steel braided brake lines, upgraded braked pads, andContinue reading “Review: 2003 Subaru WRX ABS Disabled”

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”

Install: Blitz Nur-Spec Axle Back

After the Carbon Fiber Driveshaft install, my exhaust note somehow became extremely quiet. I don’t need a super loud exhaust, but I do like to be able to hear it without straining my ears. I initially wanted a Delta Motorworks CBE, but it’s nearly $1,000 and I honestly don’t know what it would sound likeContinue reading “Install: Blitz Nur-Spec Axle Back”

Review: K/N Typhoon Intake

I didn’t plan on doing this mod anytime soon, as I didn’t really want to spend $3XX on a “hot air intake” as some people like to call them; but one popped up locally for cheap so I grabbed it. I had originally planned to do an install write-up of this intake, but the installContinue reading “Review: K/N Typhoon Intake”

Install/Review: DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

The spring semester is almost over and during that time, Blipshift made another run of the Gutentight shirts. Thank you to everyone that bought a shirt, that money helps purchase more car parts! And while it wasn’t enough to by a Carbon Fiber Driveshaft outright, it did provide a steep discount. 😉 View this postContinue reading “Install/Review: DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft”

Install: RCE Yellow Springs

In my previous post, I mentioned that my front driver’s side RCE Yellow spring broke. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Building a Bugeye (@b.obsidian) 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 earlyContinue reading “Install: RCE Yellow Springs”

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, IContinue reading “Install/Review: 2002-2003 Bugeye v2 Front Lip (eBay knock-off)”

Review: Subframe U-Brace

The Subframe U-Brace is one of those semi-controversial Subaru parts that is debated over whether it works or not. Some people say it is critical chassis bracing and others say it is useless weight (~25lbs). I personally leaned towards the former thinking it had to do something… hell, anything – if for no other reasonContinue reading “Review: Subframe U-Brace”

Install/Review: Perrin Downpipe Blanket

I picked this up from a friend, who got it from another friend. So I am the third owner of this blanket so keep that in mind. I’ve wrapped and rewrapped several downpipes in my life and I’m over it. Although the wrapping process is pretty easy it’s the shedding fiberglass I’m done dealing with.Continue reading “Install/Review: Perrin Downpipe Blanket”
