    Hello from Delaware

    I do plan at some point to take the car to the track but for the most part it is just for blasting around some twisty backroads. dont think i will need to go the full upgrades like you have but probably upgrade to a more fade resistant pad, Motul RBF 600 fluid, SS lines and possibly slotted (not...

    Hello from Delaware

    Thanks! good to hear that I am heading down a good path. Being my first STI there has definitely been a ton to learn and I'm sure there will be plenty more to learn going forward. I have definitely noticed this is one of the more friendly and helpful forums I have been on. It is pretty quiet...

    Hello from Delaware

    Like I said before, Its been a very slow few weeks at work :lol:. I have been researching pretty much nonstop trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go with. I probably would have just riced the shit out of it back when I was 18 but now I'm older and (slightly) more mature. Now I just...

    Hello from Delaware

    Already put some gold tape on the bottom of my cobb heatshield, will probably throw some on the intercooler and possibly intake box as well once I can get over the obnoxious bling factor. :lol: DP is off at the shop right now getting cerakote glacier black coated right now. not sure If I am...

    Hello from Delaware

    Even if the stock TMIC can handle 400whp, I dont see how it could hurt to go bigger. should cool more efficiently and be more resistant to heat soak. I just hate that the aftermarket TMICs are all so damn heavy haha. The stock BPV I have read can fail and leak with bigger turbos so its more of...

    Hello from Delaware

    I definitely enjoy the car in stock/stage 1 form, but who doesn't want a few extra HP :lol:. The cobb shift knob was $70, expensive but it just looks so nice :D. Didnt realize IGOTASTI had a shift knob or I definitely would have considered it. The Cobb SF I'm looking at comes with the heat...

    Hello from Delaware

    So I have been doing a lot of research lately, been a slow few weeks at work :lol:. Wanted to post my roadmap to a reliable 400whp. This will be done in ~6 'stages', not necessarily conforming to traditional stage/stage + designations, but laid out in a way that helped me organize my...

    Reducing understeer

    It looks like the 15+ WRX has the same size sway bars so no luck there. Maybe I'll just go a little bigger in the rear and skip the adjustable links. Going to have to do some more reading about how the adjustable links affect the rate of the bar or if its more for correcting geometry...

    Reducing understeer

    Thanks for the detailed reply. Definitely an alignment is in order regardless of what else I decide. I want to get it set up for a mild negative camber all around. probably -1.5 in front -1 rear. As far as swaybars, I think i would prefer to go to a softer front sway bar but it seems that...

    Hello from Delaware

    Thanks! Don't get me wrong, I loved the BRZ. The handling was amazing and the car just felt right. It just desperately needed a turbo and I wasn't ready to get that deep into modding it. I did the basic stuff like full exhaust and OTS tune along with some whiteline bushing kits. Comparing it to...

    Hello from Delaware

    Ordered the killer b pick up and windage tray last night. For your recommendation on sway bars, what sizes do you think would be good? from what I have read, the 15+ already comes with quite beefy sway bars (24mm front, 20mm rear). I dont know that I really want to go much more than that as I...

    Hello from Delaware

    Funny you should mention this as I have been reading about the oil pick up for the past 3 hours. will be ordering a killer B pickup today. on that note, is there any real benefit to throwing the baffle/windage tray in while I'm in there? Definitely going to do something with the suspension at...

    Reducing understeer

    I have been reading about stock setup understeer issues on the 15+ STI and have experienced it to some degree. I haven't honed my driving skills quite enough to push the car hard enough that it is a real issue for me, but it is something I would like to improve. It seems that there are generally...
