So i went over to the front to look under and found out my driver side cv boot had ripped open,and there was grease all over the under panel. (Though it was quite normal since i've had my car for a while and its been to alot of place that use road salt) So I decided that I was gonna replace my cv axle and fix the noise. And it also could of been my brake indicator.



So i first replace my break pad since it was the cheapst route to finding out if it's the problem. After i replace all break pads i took it for a drive and the noise was still there. So the i decided to change my cv axel.



After replacing the whole cv axle which is a pain in the ass to do I decided to test drive it. Figure out that the scrapping noise was still there. (Scratched head)



Going on again I took off all the wheels and inspect all the brake/rotors I have found out that there was a small piece of rock that was snugged between my driver rear side rotor lol. I did not know that such a small piece of rock could make so much noise. After removing the rock the car had returned back to normal.

Haha damn bro! That's happened to me so many times! I flipped out the first time. Now just keep a pocket knife and flash light handy. U can poke them out by just taking the wheel off no problem

Pulled all of the grey interior from the rear of the '03 Impreza wagon I just bought. The black interior will be going in as soon as I can get all of the dirt and crap scrubbed out.

Yep! It replaced an e-tune. The etune surprisingly made a little more torque but the overall drivability of the protune is way better.

Tried swapping painted mirrors onto an '03 2.5TS to replace the unpainted mirrors. Came to discover that this particular bottom-of-the-barrel base model Impreza (rear drum brakes, steel wheels, unpainted mirrors, no roof rails, etc) just happened to have heated mirrors. Wtf?

I blame Canada.

Took me a couple hours to swap the heated mirror internals to the painted housings, but I have white mirrors now.

Put on my Nameless Performance cat-back exhaust with 3.5 muffler deletes on my 2017 Subaru STI. It sounds phenomenal in my opinion but probably too obnoxious for your neighbors but why hide the way the car should have came stock lol.

Nice, Jarrod is awesome!!! Nice to have a tuner thst knows how to make power and keep it running healthy. Also good call on super sports, I really want to try a cup 2 next but super sports are great for the price.

my only issue with the super sports is the soft sidewall gives the tires a mushy feel during hard cornering. they do grip well tho. i think the cup 2s will have a stiffer sidewall.
