Stuff to be on the lookout for the new WRX
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:51 am
Yes, the rumors are true, I purchased an auto WRX as a daily driver.
And yes, I have already begun to accumulate some parts to go on. Actually, just a set of steel brake lines so far.
The following is a list of parts that I'm looking for on the cheap. If you know of any (or have some yourself), let me know.
1. Shorty downpipe: (Stromung, Bosal, Oakos, Daddy's, etc. A new Stromung is $190 so you can see where my price break would be.
2. Up-pipe: Love to find an STi or an 06 or later WRX catless, or a bosal. Something stock looking.
3. Silicone Intercooler Y-Pipe (new are around $75)
4. Springs: Nothing too low or harsh, Eibach sport, Tein H-Tech, STi Pinks etc. (04-05 WRX sedan)
5. maybe an STi-axle-back if it's cheap. I'm trying to keep this one nice and quiet.
Yep, that's all. No turbos, no fuel injectors, no big intercoolers, no 3" TBEs, no intakes, no headers, no big brake kits.
This one is going to be as simple as possible.
And yes a tune, once the exhaust pieces and Y-pipe are on.
