STiXXX' '05 WRX- The Red-Headed Step Child

[Berge56]

BBS rims.... We need pics!

What TBE did you go with? Your car will def like those mods. Who will you have do the tuning?

 

[stiXXX]

Tomorrow, EVERYTHING is getting installed. Exhaust, TMIC, HIDs, alla' that stuff!

 

[Berge56]

how did the install go?

 

[stiXXX]

Heya!

The exhaust went great, so did the STI tranny mount. Mike did a great job w fabrication!

The tmic required a silicone y-pipe, the oem plastic pipe disallowed install. I got a Samco Y, used, on eBay, for $36, mint. It arrived today.

HIDs, tmic, & a few odds n' ends left, then it's tune time.

Nice! Did you get any pics of the install? Also who is going to tune your car?

 

[stiXXX]

Bren will tune it.

It's a simple 2.0L w/ CAI, a full 3" exhaust, TMIC w/ Perrin BPV, and not really much else for ECU tweaks.

It's an OEM (ho Hum!) turbo till spring... I think this'll be more funs than stock, tuned...

I'll get some pics next week when Mike finishes it all up!

 

[Berge56]

cool. What turbo you thinking about running in the spring? EVO III 16G?

 

[stiXXX]

In the Spring, the WRX gets the 36k '06 EJ25 LGT motor w/ new 850cc injectors, walboro, big-arse TMIC & FP Green from the STI, on an STI ECU.

The STI is getting a Full Race GT35R twin-scroll kit, front > back.

That's the plan...

6K HIDs, By Meyagi:

And Meyagi's SWEET foglight-on-without-lo beams mod:

 

[Stein]

You've got projectors in the WRX?

I think that'll be my next mod... that or audio stuff.

 

[stiXXX]

Just waiting for the 6K HID bulbs for the fogs to arrive...

 

[stiXXX]

The WRX motor blew, for no good reason.

I've NEVER blown a motor in my life, & I wasn't even racing.

The motor was MINT, now it's blown.

Go figure, I'm pyssed OFF about it'

Now Coming SOON!! for the WRX!

(In January):

My 36k '06 LGT EJ25 motor with a VF39 installed, big TMIC, Laille/Beatrush JDM CAI, full 3" cat-less exhaust w/ Vibrant free-flow muffler.

Next to blow for no good phucking reason: The Glass 5-spd POS.

THE answer: An '05 OEM STI 6-speed w/ DCCD Pro. Sigh.

Merry Christmas!
