If your WRX is anything other than bone stock, but you don't feel like taking up space in you signature for your mods list, put them here or in your profile. This stuck thread will serve as a reference for all members to see what mods each WRX owner has on their car. Start with a description of your WRX as you bought it. Feel free to include installation or review links and/or 1/4 mile times with your mods list. I'll get us started.

My mods.

2011 WRX Premium Hatchback with a current 17,000 miles as of 15DEC13.

As of this date I have installed the following modifications to my car:

- TurboXS TBE (heat wrapped DP with mixture of XL and stock hangers to get desired length and drop, link to install thread 2011 WRX Hatch TurboXS Turboback Exhaust install)
- Perrin turbo heat shield (black)
- STi transmission mount
- Kartboy shifter bushings
- Cobb AP running a stage 2 tune
- Boost gauge with custom made A-pillar single pod (link to install thread 2011 SWP Hatch boost gauge install)
- GoFastBits BPV
- Kartboy STS
- Lamin-X yellow fogs
- STi lighting kit


The parts that I have sitting aside waiting for install/tune are as follows:

- Grimmspeed EBCS
- Deatschwerks fuel pump
- Process West TMIC
- AEM CAI
- Lighting overlays for rear tails

My planned modifications that are not yet financed are as follows:

- Pro tune
- ID1000s
- more bushings for random spots
- springs/shocks
- more stuff I can't think of right now
 
#572 ·
you can install the fuel pump and TMIC without a tune. The CAI and EBCS should be tuned for.
