    So maybe it's the nice weather, and I just want to work on a car, but I've been catching the mod bug like crazy lately. Unfortunately (or maybe luckily) I have absolutely no money to spend on car stuff. I'd love to pick up some springs and sways before the subaru challenge...

    Anyone going mod crazy lately?

    pEd This ain't no Piccadilly!

    a better question is, how have you driven a wrx for so long and not had the mod bug bite?

    Haha oh, I've had it before. It's just biting really hard right now.

    Haha I have been. Late night drives on cool nights with the windows down and the heater on ftw :) The cool air has been letting the car pull a little stronger too.

    The highs are never as high or as long as the previous one. You'll be jonesing for more in no time.


    My next fix is a .82 exhaust housing for the t3/t4oS.

    I've just got the car bug, itching to get back in the seat so I can have the mod bug. Right now I'm just looking for a GC seat so I can hack it up and lower my stock wrx seat, or just retrofit the seat into my car and ditch side airbags. Hopefully I'll have it in and it will get me low enough to wear a helmet for the subaru challenge. I guess you could say I've got the mod bug even though I'm without a car :wiggle:

    If I need more power, it will most probably require better internals. I don't think I want to go that far.

    Which will probably require better internals if I want to make sufficiently more power.

    I waited 3 years and 50k miles until running a full turbo back and stage2 with the cobb ap v2, and amazed at the difference. Don't hold out :)

    Also did coilovers and rear sway at 50k, and loving them too.
