Rumbles: Exterior Mods
I’ve been thinking about my aesthetics lately and the gearhead in me wants to focus solely on performance mods, but the photographer in me wants more exterior mods for the photos. After shooting Sara’s WRX with her new mods, a couple of weeks ago, it got me thinking about my own exterior mod plans. View…

Rumbles: Bugeye on a Budget
This is going to be a new series of low-cost mods I am going to be doing to my 2003 WRX. The criteria for this series are mods that cost under $50; ideally under $50 shipped. I want to do a “Bugeye on a Budget” mod at least once or twice a month and I…

Gears of War (Subaru)
One issue I have with my 2003 WRX is the gearing. Or more specifically 2nd gear’s huge dropoff (from 3.454 to 1.947) with a 2.0 liter that makes peak torque around 4,000 RPM. While I was pretty happy with this 5MT gearing on my 2009 WRX (EJ255) it is annoying as hell on an EJ207 with…

Obviously at some point this becomes more of a personal preference answer and thus an experiment in trial and error. More mods? I’m in! 😀 A quick google…

Brake Lightness (WRX v LGT v STI)
I took the WRX out for a spirited spin over the weekend and noticed my driver’s side rear caliper is sticking again so I am probably going to upgrade rather than replace it with another used caliper. My rear rotors are grooved so they should be replaced as well. So that got me thinking about my…

Thinking about Weight Distribution
So I was watching an Evo X review video on youtube when I heard the reviewer mention that the Evo X was so nimble despite its 3510 lbs weight. And that got me thinking, how did they manage that? So I started digging. The Evo X has a weight distribution (w/d) of 57/43%. The 2015…
