Hello All,

My name is Mike, from Southern Cal. I am an offroad car/truck fabricator mechanic. I work on and prep Desert/CORR race trucks(until the series went under recently). I race Desert in my own truck when time and money permit, but I love off road racing and rally and Subaru's have always had a soft spot in my heart. I own a 08 WRX Premium Sedan that is the wifes DD and I drive a 02Ranger for my DD. If anyone needs anything welded, or fabricated (besides exhaust, im not a muffler shop) dont hesitate to PM me for a quote. Any suggestions on the brands of mod's to the 08 wrx are always helpful as I am still doing research. I am more concerned with handling and suspension mods then performance as I could give two $hits about how fast it goes in a quarter mile. Drag racing is for people with no driving talent so lets just get that out of the way right now... Thanks for your time and I appreciate all the feedback when I ask for it and hopefully I can help you out if need be.

I'm jealous of your job

Good luck with your modifications to the WRX. What are your plans for it? get it to handle good or handle the dirt?

Salter77

Here's a couple of the truck





I actually rolled it a few months back so I have just been putting off putting a new roof on it as I have waaaaay too much time and money in it already.

The 08 WRX... she's bone stock, but I was going to put an intake on it for the first mod actually, any recommendations? I was leaning toward the Injen or K&N.

Salter77

I know the intake doesnt do much for the car either, I just want to be able to hear the engine a little more as well as the turbo. Anyone have the Cobb sway bar and spring set up on an 08 wrx either??? I plan on auto crossing the hell out of this car, and I will definitely take it to pike's peak this year too. Its funny for the first week or so I loved the power and thought it was plenty, but a drive up to running springs made me want more. I definitely wish I would have bought one of these years ago.

I would suggest just getting a K&N drop-in filter and then remove the resonator box from your fender.

that will get you a bit more performance and also open up the intake so you can hear the turbo better
