This was a stock wrx splitter. I found a DIY guide and went to town. It isn't super pretty but man is it functional now. Here are some better pics.

I finished it up today, I made a few small adjustments to make it seal better.

Looks good, have you thought of adding another diverter into the center of the splitter to direct air towards the front of the intercooler, like so:

Yes I have thought of that, I ran out of free metal. Once I can get another piece I will add one. I am happy with it for now though.

I have noticed the car feels better having cooler air to burn.

thank you kind sir.

i installed my heat shield, topped my coolant, and tightened my belt tension for power steering. for some reason it doesnt want to stay tense, and every couple of days (up to a week or so) it gives me ****, all squealing and whatnot.

Installed beatrush radiator cooling panel and pulley cover. Disappointed. First it took two months to get it shipped. Second they're not the same color. Third pulley cover rubs on the belts. Fourth! I realized they rubbed when i started my car rite before it rained. Fith! I had to take it off in the rain before i could go anywhere. Fcking sht

i took off both the driver front and passenger rear lights, sealed them with silicone (the tail was holding water, and the front was showing condensation), and the inner housing of the front headlight is like... loose. the beam shoots low no matter what. also took out my grille because it is a raging piece of poo which was GLUED to the front bumper (ill have to do something about that as well)...

and to top it off when i put everything back together and started it up this morning, the airbag light came on for some reason??? should i do the battery disconnect+brake pedal trick??? help?

also got my DEI CoolTape in last night, but with no time to wrap anything. ill most likely do the intercooler first.

299hp 335tq. With my set up (especially the due to the header) it lost a little bit of power down low but as soon as you hit 2k rpm the car becomes a monster. It definitely changes the the way I've been driving though as it now has a brand new powerband. Loving it so far and I gained like 2mpg too LOL.

Check the connectors under both seats (they are yellow)

Sometimes a bottle will wiggle its way under one of the seats and jar the connector loose. Happened to me 3 weeks ago.

I have one. It did make a bit of difference in the way the motor revs up. I have a ej207 though and I am willing to bet that a 205 would benefit more from it. The motor does seem to run a bit smoother as well.

Swapped out old coil pack for a new one. Misfiring mystery is now solved!! Such a good feeling to see the CEL turn off and stay off. Who would have known after all these months the answer was just 85$ and 10 minutes of labor.
