Drop springs, shocks, BOV, Intercooler, (sill rebuilding, low budget here)

Usage?

Well, planning on 1/4 mile, autox, track day, and drifting.

Oh, and to add to your original post, there probably is not a big import drag racing scene b/c FWD cars are not built for drag racing physically. Obviously they still race them once they jack the rear of the car way up to keep the weight transfer in check.

 

wierd my srt had Noooo trouble doing so :)

 

btw i will walk every one in this thread with a pos neon that is all

Performance wise, Cold Air Intake is all for now

Daily Driver. Will always be that for me. This one will be with me for a while unless something bad happens to it.

Will be adding a few small mods in the near future but nothing crazy. Motor Mount, Shifter Bushings, Tune, but that's about it for the short term.

 

Overall, I love this little car. Quick, handles awesome and catches a lot by surprise given it's subtle looks. :cool:

What type of car?

2008 Subaru WRX Sedan

 

What mods?

Springs, CAI, Catless DP, Cat-Back, unfinished tune

 

Whats the car going to be built or is used for?

The car will always be a daily driver for me until I can get it to a point where I am happy with it for dd duty and can buy a Miata for a project. I will, however, use the car at track day events like 1/4 mile, auto-x, or rally.

 

What are your goals with the car?

I would like a reliable 375-400whp daily driver. I would like as linear a power band as possible, and I could also see adding some dynomat for sound deadening and a carputer.

What are your goals with the car?

To destroy every street driven Honda in Columbus :D And to shut a few peoples mouths up in the process. Actually goals are to just finish the fucking thing by spring time and enjoy it as much as possible

 

 

 

 

The reason we don't have a big Import scene is because so many fucking haters. If your not rolling Volks or have the latest trendy thing done to your car, your looked upon as shit by many. Fuck that build cars the way you want them, not to the taste of others. Until people 1. Quit hating and 2. Start building cars for themselves there will be a shitty scene in Columbus and Ohio in general

 

 

Oh and for the record I built the bottom end before I did any other mods, gotta start from bottom up.
