I am running Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 225/45 17 right now. They are good tires but I still like the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position better. The S-03's wear faster then the PS2's but I think if you want the best performace the S-03's are better.

hey, im not really feelen your ride, u have a lot of bad parts and that air intake is so bad, b/c it's getting hot air from the hot turbo, u should of used an injen intake that goes into the air dam, it's a lot better, also your car does not look clean and it needs a lot of work, i think u need to fined a new place to get your work done. CHILL

Well you are just so smart. Let me correct you on some things so you don't look like such a dumbass on the forums. What does it matter if you take in hot air from the turbo into your air intake if the air itself has to go into that hot turbo? That is why you have an intercooler, to cool the air before it goes into your engine. It does no good to have a little cooler air going into the intake if it just gets heated up at the turbo before going into the engine. If you really want to get into it. For best results you don't want to put an after market intake on these cars because they have problems with the MAF sensor. The best thing is to just replace the filter with a drop in. The only after market intake that won't have problems with the MAF sensor is the new COBB one that is not out yet, because it is a exact copy of the stock piece before the MAF sensor. The only reason for having an after market intake is if you are going to have a FMIC or if you just want one, that is me. I just like getting rid of all that plastic and giving my self extra room under the hood.
As far as the look of my car and the other parts. I guess if you like APC and spinner wheels then I guess you would not like all my parts. Most of you like that don't care about Volk wheels, COBB parts, or any parts that make your car go fast. You probably just want bling bling and no go.

dont trip, just look at his sn and his brightness is self-explanatory...

....hey esx, i hope you got approval from esxsubaru to use their name, because i am sure they would love to hear how you represent there name and trash other suby owners, if you are from there how would you like your lil attitude spread around on how esx ppl suck **** and to never go to their shop ever...you need to chill!!!

...to each his own on how they modify their own car!!! yeah its your own opinion but be discreet and explain in a more technical view or just dont say ne thing at all next time

Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of bed.

I understand everyone has there own taste but you don’t have to hate!!!!

Just by reading your post shows you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m sure Spectra’s Volk’s cost more then all your mods put together. CHILL

Hey, I was not trying to trash talk about this guy's ride, it looks good, but, i was only trying to point out, that if, you really want the best performance in your subaru then your should use parts that give the best performance. I have seen the dyno proven results when using differnt air intakes, and the ones that proved to be the best were the ones that went into the airdam, only b/c they are getting the coldest air, and thus making more HP. Im sorry if i can cross a little strong, but im only tying to help you get the most out of your WRX. good luck in the future and keep boosting.

I just installed the new COBB Lightweight Main Pulley. This is a very well made part and very nice looking. It weighs a lot less than the OE Pulley, I did not know that the OE Pulley weighed quite that much but this was a big difference in weight. It helps make the car a little more responsive. The install went good but I only had a deep socket that was 22mm and so had to remove the drive side fan to fit the socket with a breaker bar and heated the OE Pulley and it came off with not much work. I like this pulley quite a bit; I am never disappointed with a COBB part.

Here are some pictures of my GFB Hybrid BOV, Samco Intercooler Hose Kit, JMB Oil Catch Can, and my WRX with my brothers SRT4. The JMB oil catch can is actually made buy a guy that makes part for the SRT4's he makes some really good quality parts. The welds are very nice and the catch can has a valve underneath that you can put a hose on to drain the catch can. It has been a while since I have posted pictures so I have quite a few to post it the upcoming days.
