RIPsta's SWP 13" STI Hatchback Stage 2+

[Alter3go]

First I would like to say there are some pretty sweet subies on here and have yet to see a bad one everyone thus far have given me tons of ideas and the reception being new to this site is amazing and everyone has been quite helpful...so thanks, I do appreciate everyone thus far!!

I scooped my Subie from McDaniels Subaru Auto Group in Columbia SC i ordered her once i got back to the states on Nov 6th 2012 and I picked her up Feb 14th 2013

I've decided to build a journal i like suggestions and critiques so please feel free to give me your opinion.

I want to start with a small vision for my vehicle I want to add subtle touches to an already amazing vehicle and nothing way over the top i want engine responsiveness and overall longer health since it is a DD. I like stuff that adds performance but appears to be stock if anyone can make sense out of that. LOL

wel here goes...lets start with the MODS yo:

Current
Future

Exterior

STI Front Lip
Tinted Windows
Rally Armor UR mudflaps
STI JDM Side Skirts son!
3M Clear Bra

COBB AP V2
COBB SF Short Ram intake with Airbox

COBB BPV
COBB Heat-shield
GrimmSpeed Air Oil Separator
SPT Catback Exhaust

GrimmSpeed TMIC

Suspension

STOCKKKKKK!!!

Picked her up with 16 miles on th ODO...sounds a lil high to me...ahem



My first Mod was these two lil guys:


The "Mod Bug" is real

Below is with the AOS, Airbox, and BPV installed

i don't like those zip ties going to replace with something a little better...all i had at the time :-D

very shortly after i got the Downpipe and let me say that i don't think subaru should offer a SPT CBE with this awful stock DP but nonetheless here it is:

another view:


then installed

Underneath

back of the turbo:

I got a little nostalgic and kept a souvenir i literally couldn't help myself (good thing i bought extra bolts from Subaru) :

I'm sure i will post more plus i got a few videos... and for all the chivers:


I am sure I will post more in the near future. I also have some videos as well and please enjoy God Bless and Happy Holidays.

Very nice.
Lemme guess, turbo to DP bolt broke? I did the exact same thing and the car had only 10k miles on her.

Now get to work on that suspension! Lol
Bars and end links to start.

 

[IGOTASTi]

We're glad your here.

White line sways & endlinks make a huge difference.

Yeah i actually stretched the bolt some how I am still scratching my head on that one w/13K on the car I think Subaru does that on purpose lol, but got it done i needed to go to work n take the kids to school the next day so i had to get it done lol. I have been looking at whiteline or cusco. Whiteline seems a bit sweeter though

thanks for the advice i have been looking at those in particular would like to keep the undercarriage uniform

 

[IGOTASTi]

Whiteline makes nice stuff.

If you want to help with under steer, put a bigger bar in the back.

 

[WesternSTi]

[Alter3go]

The other day thought I put some curb rash on my rim turns out the mud flap took the hit hew: I probably would've cried in the shower with my clothes on for an hour or so if it did
