Kunk's 2011 WRX Limited Journal
This WRX is the first car that I have ever bought that I truly cared about. Normally I just buy my cars and drive them for a bit till I get bored. Within the first 5 miles of this car I realized... I will never get bored. I figured I should keep a journal going so I can look back on how the car has progressed over the coming years. Here is the story:
Modifications include: Engine/Drivetrain: - Cobb Accessport Stage 1 OTS Tune - 3in Invidia Q300 Catback Exhaust - Kartboy Short Throw Shifter with front and rear bushings Wheels/Suspension: - Miro 111 18x9.5 + 40 Offset with Goodyear Eagle F1 265/35/18 Exterior: - STI Trunk w/ Wing - JNA Polyurethane front lip - Perrin super shorty antenna - Rally Armor urethane mudlaps - Hella Supertones - 35% on sides and rear, and 45% on front windshield. Interior: - SMY Clustermaker w/ Defi Boost & Oil Pressure Gauge. - Pioner Avic z130BT with JDM radio bezel. - All lights switched to LEDs. Dealer sent me this picture two weeks before I was going to pick it up (I was away for work): Picked up the car on August 1st, 2011 from Subaru of Beechmont: New wheels and a quick detail: Added a front lip: Switched all the interior lights, plate light, trunk light, and reverse lights into LEDs: Trunk swapped with a 2011 STI: Added SMY Clustermaker and Defi Boost and Oil Pressure Gauges: Where the beast sleeps at night: Parts awaiting install: - Cobb SF Intake w/ airbox - Invidia Catted downpipe - Process West TMIC

Nice ride man! What size are those wheels, they fill the fenders nicely for stock suspension, never mind, saw the beginning of the thread, hahaha.

I like my intake but with just the Stage 1+ OTS tune it really doesn't do much except make my car sound like a jet engine when I'm on the pedal. It'll come out when I get protuned. So I added a front lip onto the car today. I will post pictures after I wash the car sometime this week. I'm also plasti-dipping a few places. |

Liking your wheel choice, I noticed the miro 111 is offered in matte black, is that the color you have? Looks rather glossy which I'd actually prefer.

Alrighty so a quick update. These are the following parts that are sitting in my garage awaiting install:
Cobb SRI w/ box Invidia Catted DP Process West TMIC 24mm Front / 22mm Rear Whiteline Swaybars Kartboy front and rear endlinks. I am really looking forward to slapping all these on at once. It'll be like getting a brand new car. |

Have fun with the kartboy end links! You WILL need spacers without a doubt in the front. And the rear end links are so thick they are a pain to install because they are so close to the shocks.
