Install: v7 JDM STi Grill Mods (Part 1)
I picked up this broken JDM STi grill over the winter with the intention of modifying it to my liking. It was relatively cheap to modify without too much anxiety. My goal was to document the process, then I got completely sidetracked by school and other mods. So I am trying to get the blog…

Good Drive: TN-62
Over the spring semester, I had to travel to a site for a school project. The site was a couple hours away and luckily enough, I had just driven one of the roads leading up to it the week or so prior. So instead of catching the interstate, I was comfortable enough to hit the…

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…

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 like…

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 install…

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. đ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh8-oeFn0Bq/?taken-by=b.obsidian Initial Pics…

Install: DrivewayLabs Hood Vents
As discussed in the previous post, I ordered a set of hood vents from DrivewayLabs. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfoIQtZFDoK/ The package arrived quickly as it was shipped out Priority Mail via USPS. Generally speaking, packages coming from the west coast may as well be in another county. I tend to avoid vendors on the west coast because of this.…

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…
