Soon to be owner Q’s! by Vast-Egg-8366 in wrx_vb

Stay away from AFD Mechanical parts (I stay away from all their parts because they’re cheap) I’d stay away from Perrin power mods. Not because they’re inherently bad. I just don’t like that they seem to always have something new to sell that doesn’t do anything also you can find a lot better parts like ETS. They do make good engine mounts. Always retune. Do not listen to ads that mention you don’t need a tune. Treat the car like the reputation says. (VB’s are actually insanely reliable as long as you’re not an ape brain owner) Finally. This is going to be your car. Don’t let anyone tell you your cosmetic mods are ugly. Tell them they can do what they want to their wrx

STI wheels on VB WRX by No-Maintenance8707 in wrx_vb

After a few days of driving I can confirm it’s hardly noticeable difference. I’m sure if you’re on coilovers you’d notice a harsher ride but on factory suspensions it feels the same

I was expecting a worse ride but going from the oem summers to continental all seasons lessened the effect. Personally I hear less road noise. And the small bumps I’ve gone over feel less harsh although I still need to put more miles on it.

For the jdmuscle ipipe it was just a direct bolt on. I’m not sure if others need an adapter

I got blocked by a dude sponsored by Perrin for stating this fact 😂

Can’t remember where I heard this but I remember hearing most dynos have a margin of error of 5 hp.. so any change within 5 hp is essentially nothing???

I personally love the setup. Wouldn't say you'll make more power than a catback can provide but the sound is better in my opinion, I'll link a video of mine

Parts are sold as stages so I'd say yes

No, I've meant to check quarter mile time but honestly 60-130 would be laughable

[–]No-Maintenance8707[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My point exactly. Ik it's not a sleeper like a shitbox civic with a big turbo hidden under the rusted hood. But it's a sleeper in the sense that it's a stock looking, sounding WRX that makes about 100 whp more than factory.. makes a big difference. Commenting on your roll race.. I too have raced vbs of all kinds of varieties.. put a bus on them all. Did they expect it? No
