wcolbyb’s 2002 Subaru Impreza

POWER/engine bay:1. Timing belt, Water Pump, and tensionors kit (im past 100k miles unfortunately)2. Transmission Cocktail, 3. Group N: engine(purchased in December) 4.  NGK Iridium one step colder spark plugs5.   GrimmSpeed 3-port electronic boost control solenoid (with second tune)6.GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace7.  Sti Top Mount Intercooler.  would prefer a JDM but USDM works too. sticking to the Subaru ones jsut cuz they run colder. --OR-- Fast Motorsports(FMS) TMIC8.  ACT Heavy Duty Performance Street Clutch KitSUSPENSION:1. Slotted rotors from DBA or Ate2.  Hawk HPS brake pads (purchased late december, hoping to install before spring semster)3.  Goodridge Steel brake lines.4. Turn In Concepts front fender cowl braces 5.  Sway Bar:Whiteline adjustable 24mm rear sway bar and the mounts and endlinks. probably the steel endlinks 6.  Rota Boost Wheels in Matte Black (18 lb.s per wheel) 7. a bunch of whiteline bushigs and bolts kits.  these $45 buck parts make a huge difference all together and fill the void to tinker with car, yet only 50ish bucks. 8. CarLabs Development X-Brace, this is a classic upgrade for WRXs back in the day.  its basiall a rear strut tops to chasis brace.  its about four hundred dollars brand new, the cancelled production years ago, but are bringing it back pretty soon.  read reviews and i think youll be wanting it too  Exterior:1. Matte Black Wheels (Rota Boost wheels in matte black)2.  Painted Calipers: yellow or blue or gold or red? Im leaning toward Gold but am worried it wont be as noticeable or as nice on such small brake callipers. what do ya think?3.  clear or blacked/smoked out sidemarkers.  Im contemplating clear with yellow bulbs.... just cant find yellow bulbs, only amber haBIG TIME DREAMIN' FUTURE MODS:1. Forced Performance HTA 68 turbo with the DW 750cc injectors and walbro gs342 pump.--OR--AMR T60R Turbo: This is a TRUE bolt-on turbo.  all it really requires is a tune.  injectors and fuel pump are not needed.  so that is helpful, but it it's only 200 bucks cheaper than the HTA68 which comes with the injectors and fuel pump.2.  rebuilt forged internals.3. Either a big brake kit or swap for 06-07 WRX brakes which are 4pot front/2pot rear.

Bught this car at around Easter 2010 and i absolutly love everything about it.  had a 91 Ford Ranger that my buddy rolled and totalled, so bought this as a way to finally have a car that handles and is worth modifying for performance.  im young and cash aint so easy to come by especially with a mainly seasonal job and school, but im starting to modify it, slowly but surely.

2.  Goodyear Eagle GTs: havent tested these out too much, will update when I do.3.  Whiteline rear subframe bolts: for forty bucks these are a good way to reduce some of that snap over steer. 4. Sti pink springs: keep ride height and charactaristics.  will still be lower in the back, but they are better than lowering springs5.  KYB AGX adjustable shocks:  these are super high quality.  no modification is needed for fitment.  I havent tried the adjustments yet but will update when I do.  either way- fantastic product

3. 3" Down Pipe (bell mouth design) all catless.  I am thinking about getting an invidia high-flow catted down pipe because it's a daily driver but alot o mone for no performance benefit.4. 2" Up Pipe cattless.5.  Thermo-Tec T3-T4 Heat Sheild6. Stage 2 ECU reflash INTERIOR:1. Alpine head unit2. Cobra XRS930: Laser/Radar detector.
