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)”

Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 1)
A while back I picked up a v2 replica lip off of eBay. I usually don’t run a lip on my cars as Subies have a good amount of front overhang; I like to lower my cars and Knoxville has a lot of extreme elevation transitions, with my driveway being one of the worst offenders.Continue reading “Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 1)”

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: 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 installContinue reading “Install: Subtle Solutions Fender Braces”
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 IContinue reading “Rumbles: Bugeye on a Budget”
