Don't know why the image is rotated. But the only performance modifications right now is a catted turboback exhaust system from Nameless Performance, ETS intake, and ProTune.

308HP / 329TQ

It's my daily so I'm not sure how far I wan't to push the car right now. I'm content with the results as of now

Stage 2 WRXs are nasty. How does it feel compared to stock? It'd blow my STi away for sure. Part of me wishes I had kept my WRX...but dat rumble. What color is it?

It's definitely night and day. I could hear the car knock on the stock tune it was so bad.. But it's DGM with bronze Work Emotion CR-Ultimates

It's nice to see numbers like that with a twinscroll WRX, especially with a nice steady taper at 5350 rpm (on your safe tune). That power just keeps going!

Good shit. Bronze is definitely a good choice, I plan on getting matte bronze tsw nurburgrings for my winter beater wheels for my GBP car.

Solid choice! I'm looking at a set of matte
gunmetal 57c6s for next spring.

Grams are nice. The stock WRX wheels left a lot to be desired with me, and sadly all of the wheels that looked good to me were insane expensive. I was probably just going to get the sti sport wheels and get them powder coated bronze. I actually really like the stock Enkeis on the STi, they still have the dunlops on them so those are going to be my spring/summer wheel and the tsws with conti dws will be my winters

He definitely picked up close to 80whp/tq. Not bad for just adding exhaust as it really is the major restriction in these cars. You get a huge boost in power for under 2 grand, sadly that's where the fun stops in terms of power to dollar. Still, just based on the videos I've seen and the things I've heard a stage 2 wrx is an entirely new animal from stock, and the FA20DIT is proving to be quite the stout little motor, apparently ETS has been running one with their turbo kit @ 450 hp on stock internals for a while now. Still way too soon in this car's life to know the limits of what this drivetrain can handle, but so far it's been pretty impressive to say the least.

2017 is my year for an STI.

Had to buy my finance her Jeep that she's been wanting, thank god she's responsible and not a stupid driver like my ex was.
