Retrofit: TFS HID Bugeye Headlights
With shorter days ahead, and a potential part-time job lined up in which I would be working evenings, I decided it was time to upgrade my Bugeye WRX halogen headlights. I picked up the Bi-Xenon Profile Bi-Lens D2S Stage III kit from The Retrofit Source. My main interest was the square lens and the reasonableContinue reading “Retrofit: TFS HID Bugeye Headlights”
Retrofit: GR Telescoping Steering Column into a GD (Part 1)

Mods: DIY Anti-Lift (02-07 WRX/STi)
Overview I have been looking around for an Anti-Lift Kit (ALK) that uses pillow ball bushings over polyurethane. I’m not a huge fan of poly in control arm bushings even though it would probably fine. I just would like to keep any suspension bind to a minimum. The only pillow ball setups I could findContinue reading “Mods: DIY Anti-Lift (02-07 WRX/STi)”
Maintenance: Bleeding Brakes w/the Motive Power Bleeder
My brake pedal was getting a little long in the travel which means it is time to bleed the system. I try to bleed the brakes annually but I’m sure it’s been over a year since my last bleed. In my opinion, the easiest way to bleed brakes is with a Motive Power Bleeder. ThereContinue reading “Maintenance: Bleeding Brakes w/the Motive Power Bleeder”
Install: KSTech 6.5mm Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers
A while back, we installed some Grimmspeed Phenolic intake manifold spacers (3mm) onto my EJ207. I didn’t use gaskets on recommendation from a friend, a Subie mechanic, I used grey RTV instead. Unfortunately, I developed a leak at each runner. Since the spacers were used, I decided to replace them with some fresh units. InsteadContinue reading “Install: KSTech 6.5mm Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers”
Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, I decided to mold the side skirt spats into the side skirts. The primary reason was a cleaner install; I’m a bit paranoid about those self-tapping screws backing out and landing in my tire. But I also wanted to keep debris out of the spats and side skirts. First stepContinue reading “Install: 02-05 WRX Side Skirt Spats (Part 2)”
Mods: SSR Center Cap Refresh
My SSR GT-2 wheels come with center caps that were in horrible condition. I wasn’t a big fan of the design so I left them off. I prefer a flat cap. I tried a few different caps and none of them fit. SSRs have a unique size that uses an o-ring to lock the capContinue reading “Mods: SSR Center Cap Refresh”
Maintenance: EJ207 Valve Cover Gaskets/Pre-Turbo Exhaust Gaskets
No more oil leaks!
Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, we are going to continue working on the front bumper. For the fog light covers, I didn’t like the way it looked around the edges or I didn’t trust if the paint would stick to the adhesive so I added a layer of Bondo Glass around the covers. Next, weContinue reading “Install: 2003 WRX Front Bumper Modifications (Part 2)”
