Ah the beginning.
Posted by RawCode on August 11th, 2007 filed in General SubaruI have finally started modding my car. It only took, what… 6 years?
I originally bought the car in Aug 2001. A brand spanking new 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS with plans of modding the suspension and eventually installing a turbo. I bought a used Ganzflow air intake in early 2002 and installed it in the dead of winter. Great times. And then I end up buying a house in 2003.
Time flows fast, let me tell you.
So now it is over halfway through 2007; the car has 110,000 miles and there is a few things wrong with the car.
- Struts are crazy old and worn. Driver rear is blown.
- Rear discs are warped pretty bad, you can really tell once they warm up a bit.
- Bushings are old and loose.
- Passenger rear wheel bearing is bad.
I had some vacation time coming up in July, so I went and ahead and ordered a few upgrades for the ride.
- Racing Brake H6 (290mm) rear brake upgrade
- Tokico D-Spec struts
- 02-03 Prodrive Springs
- Subaru Group-N strut top mounts for all four corners
- Subaru 25mm Front Sway bar
We shall see just how far this rabbit hole goes.
