28th Mod, Air Box

A guy on KCSubaru.com was selling a stock intake.

I cut a HUGE hole in the front, and cut the snorkel off about 8" from the end.



Over all LOVE it. You can hear the BPV, and at low RPM you get a nice groul. Plus at higher RPM you get the WHOOOSS. NICE.


Totally free. I use a hole saw to cut the corners, and a box knife to cut between holes. I left out the seal that goes to the wheel well. I plan on pulling the resonator delete next time I get a chance..


I bet there is a name for this, like fuji mod or katsumi mod, but I have never seen this so I am calling it original..


I did the math, and my drop in filter is 63 Square inches and the K&N on the typhoon is 95 square inches. So the typhoon should move more air, but I did this for free, and in about 40 mins...

26th Mod, GrillCraft Black Lower Grill

This is a cover that goes over the lower openning.

It cleans up the look of the front, and helps protects the radiator.


25th Mod, Shifter Bushings

These are bushings that go in the connection between the base of the shifter, and the transmission. They replace a soft rubber bushing with these firm plastic pair. This connection is the anchor point for the shifter assembly.

By replacing this bushing it takes all of the play out of the shifter..

These are about the diameter of a half dollar.

I had tried them on another guy's WRX, and fell in love!!! with the bushings
