Moving on from the Accord - 2011 WRX Hatch

[xluben]

I don't know if anyone is still interested, but here are some updated photos and videos.

Blew the stock 5 speed, so I upgraded to PAR 5 speeds gears (straight cut 1st and 2nd):

You are still a Member, and we still respect the "pride in your ride", regardless of what the ride is.

Not able to view the sound/video clips at work, but the upgrades look pretty legit to me.

Stock clutches are a bit of an issue with the Subie's, no?

The clutches aren't really that bad. Mine held a year of around 400WTQ. It started slipping when I got closer to 500WTQ, so I had to swap in an ACT 4 puck clutch. It's a lot less fun around town, but it's been holding the torque just fine.

if I am not mistaken, just the headers + exhaust yields 492 WHP? Damn very impressive! How reliable is the entire set up? Crazy on gas? lol....I love your hatch!

Drool. The WRX has always been on my radar as my next, especially the current 5 door.

Love what you've done to it.

No, not at all! Sorry if I was misleading. Most of that power came from adding the turbo and increasing the boost. Along with this I had done all bolt on's, and a new motor. The exhaust and headers were just the last bolt on's I needed to do. They gained me 30-40HP more.

Thanks! I wanted one for a quite a while when I had the Accord. I'm really happy with the change.

The numbers are crazy, and I can imagine how hard it would be to not be able to open it up in the city.

Tracking it at all?

 

[DarkSideAccord]
