Base 2017 WRX Build: Before and After

what wheels? they look good.
Love the tails. Are they the LEDs from speedlogix

Looks good. "Stage 1 MAPerformance tune"? how does this differ from whatever COBB provides for the 91 octane map?

I'm sure it's been covered on the forum, but I just ordered my AP last night. thx

Looks good, but you should debadge the trunk.

cobb's tune just smooths out the 1 to 2nd gear rev bogging and makes acceleration smoother across the power band. but is also highly suspectible to bad gas and creates lots of feedback knock and fine learn knock.

the ma performance map is claimed to have been developed from scratch so not based on the cobb map at all, and my self and others feel like it's the best stage 1 OTS map available. if you had purchased the AP from MA they would have giving you the map bundled with it, but i didnt know this either, bought my ap used and paid for the MAP stage1 map, it's awesome, feels a bit better than the cobb map but also way less susceptible to knock.

Wheels are enkei td5's. You can get them 17's or 18's but I got 17's to keep the stock tires on them.

Tails are from Subispeed. They're the sequential lights with clear housing.

Not sure about knock, but it's got a lot more power than Cobb's stage 1. I'm on the 93 octane map and it really shoves you back into your seat. If you check out their website they've got some pretty nice dyno graphs too. I haven't been getting any knock at WOT either; just the occasional 1.41 when cruising.

pricing on MA maps?

Free with purchase of the Cobb AP from MAP, $75 otherwise (or was a month or so ago) MAP is due a price increase first of the year FYI

I second this. Love your car, minus the badges. Also, some pink calipers would really spruce it up.

Excellent photos, tell me what kind of camera you have? Do you use retouching? Maybe you like these tips Google photo editing - pros and cons I hope you enjoy it!
