Welcome To My SUBARU WRX
Modification Website
This website features various performance mods that have
been done to my White 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX.
By now, just about everyone
is familiar with the WRX, it debuted in the
So far my mods have been
pretty mild.
I started with a Perrin
up-pipe
Perrin has designed their uppipes
like all other of their components, with quality and performance in mind.
These uppipes are designed to increase your turbo
spool time by 500 RPM's. · 321 stainless
steel · 1/2 thick
flanges · no more EGT CEL
lights with add on resistor, see instructions below · tig welded · 2 mandrel bends
with a rotation so the tubes fit perfect with the flanges · (no miters on
the end of the tubes) · comes with studs
and really good instructions with pics |
As well as a PDE Downpipe
Next I went with an Apex-i N1 Muffler and custom 3” mandrel bent exhaust system
Of course, no modification
would be complete without a K&N Filter system installed
The latest
modification has been installing a UTEC (User Tunable Engine Controller) from
Turbo XS. This thing is my baby, the one
piece that makes all the difference, in a word….WOW!!!
|
The UTEC is a
new concept in WRX engine management delivering the power and control of a
stand-alone engine management system with the convenience and tuning ease of
a piggyback system. UTEC enables complete programmable control over ignition
timing, fuel, and boost, while allowing the factory ECU to maintain control
over tedious and mundane functions that make the car drivable on a daily
basis. Functions like cold start, hot start, intake temperature compensation,
AC compensation and closed loop fuel control signals are all managed by the
factory ECU reducing your tuning time significantly while enhancing daily
drivability. Spend your tuning time doing what we all like to do – making
your WRX faster! |
Future Mods will
include Larger Top Mount Intercooler
|
Features: |
Larger Ball-Bearing Turbo IHI
VF34
Of course, all this extra
power is nothing without good brakes and suspension components.
Stopping power will be
provided by a Perrin & Wilwood Combination

Does your car
not take the turns strong enough. Do you feel like
the ass end of the car is just a huge trailer not coming around.
Then you need to get a rear sway bar to improve your handling. A rear sway
bar will push the car through the turns similar to a rear wheel drive car. |
|
Pillow ball
type bars that will stiffen up your suspension components and improve
response. Fully adjustable. Very strong and lightweight. Fits WRX wagon or
sedan 02-on. |

STi Alloy
Front Lower Control arms. Reduce un-sprung weight. ARM ONLY. Price is for the
pair. Will work with 02-on WRX wagon or sedan. |
Of course a body kit will
likely be added as well, but it may be a hand laid fiberglass kit and therefore
I cannot provide an actual photo. Also
in the works on the cosmetic side of things are a carbon fiber hood and trunk
lid, projector style HID headlights and a carbon fiber rear wing spoiler (not
too tall and not too ricey looking, just functional)

car (ok…my realistic dream car)
