tougestar's 2012 OBP WRX Sedan Track Build
Hey guys! Wanted to start a build thread to document my progress on my 2012 WRX. It is my first Subaru so I still have a lot to learn especially since I came from a long history with various FWD Honda models lol.
My goal is to build a street car that can handle the abuse of track days. I am not looking for big power so I will be sticking to the stock turbo.

I'll try and post a video next week after I finish my installs. The downpipe makes the exhaust much louder and raw Lol. Sounds a little dirty but at the same time amazing!

Process West TMIC Installed!
Kartboy Pitchstop Mount A friend and I attempted to do the Crawford AOS but the install proved to be more complicated than expected. I will be having it professionally installed so to make sure it is properly used. The car is finally coming together! |

thanks for the feedback cliff! im pretty happy with the tune i got from shawn church and he has a good reputation for other cars too but i wanted to go to a shop that was more subaru specific. yimisport does subaru engine builds in addition to their tuning so i figured they would be more experienced with the boxer setup. also a friend highly recommended yimisport and his car runs smooth and strong. lets hope i made the right decision in switching lol
