Just some pics of what I've been up to with my 09 WRX...
Vids first:
Stock pull to almost 60

Stage 1 pull

Starting with my old thread pics when it was stock
Then I debadged the trunk, added the SPT catback, and tinted
After a while I had finished planning my Carputer build
I'm an avid snowboarder so just took these pics for fun
First one is after we went to Big Bear
Short Shifter and bushings went in shortly thereafter. The SS and front bushing was done first, which made a noticeable difference. I later added the rear stay bushing and the pivot bushing and everything is now very accurate with little to no slop
I also swapped out the speakers for some Rainbow Platinums up front. You can see the difference in the magnet sizes from stock
The next thing in line was getting foglights put in, which I really wanted when I bought the car but didn't want to spring for the premium! The HID's from the Accord were the same bulb type, so I was able to pop those in as well to have HID lows and fogs! I also cleared out the headlights that day with the help of a friend
Then I went Stage 1 with the Cobb AP, but there's really no pictures of that That brings us up to the present where I had the first (I think) Stoptech BBK testfit by Stoptech at their facility. It is a 328x28mm kit that preserves the stock brake bias and has 4 piston calipers. I opted for the slotted rotors and also got stainless front and rear brake lines.
Today I went and test fitted my snowboard rack. I am using the OEM crossbars with a Yakima FreshSesh snowboard rack. The Yakima comes with everything you need to attach it to the factory bars so no worries. You just might want to pick up some SKS core locks to protect your gear! I opted for the snow camo theme
Planned/Stuff on the way:
18x8.5" Rota Grids in Hyperblack
BC Racing Coils
Front Lip
FMIC
Cobb DP/Stage 2
