Smile College project!!

hey guys, i have to do a futures file on modding a subaru WRX, i chose to do it on this because i LOVE WRX's, they're my fave car and have been forever!!

with a futures file, if we dont hand it in or pass, you pretty much fail english!!..

so i was wondering if you guys could help me out??


it would be great if you guys could help me out with information on what part/brand name, would be best to suit the following:

performance crankshaft
turbo charger (i was looking at the, "APS S/R Series Ball Bearing Turbocharger")
blow off valve (nice and loud)
port polish
exhaust system (want this baby to rumble!!)
front mounted intercooler
racing chip
6 speed manual quickshift
strenghtened pistons and crank
suspension (want this to be nice n' low)
tyres (low profile)
neons (green)
brakes
NOS
new guages (for turbo, speed, RPM, etc)
window tint (black)
soundsystem (blaupunkt all around)
bodykit (im using the, "EREBUNI #580")
paint (looking for a wicked green color, kinda freddo frog lookin, lol)
headlights and taillights (chrome ones)


P.S. i really do appreciate this!!!

now im a get crackin and look for a nice soundsystem!!!

^^ I'm guessing he's building a project car of some sort.

But on a serious note, please no neon or "Nos" . That looks bad on a subie.

Bump for WRX love!!!!

this all depends on what year you want to do this for, but I'm gonna say 02 cause thats the best.

performance crankshaft - dont know
turbo charger - gt35?
blow off valve - turbo xs RFL
port polish
exhaust system - HKS carbon Ti
front mounted intercooler - don't know
racing chip - Cobb AccessPort
6 speed manual quickshift - kartboy short-throw
strenghtened pistons and crank - don't know
suspension helix dna coilovers?
tyres - yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07
neons - none
brakes - brembo
NOS - none
new guages (for turbo, speed, RPM, etc) - keep stock dash, add Defi's
window tint (black) - there are different companies?
soundsystem (blaupunkt all around) - blaupunkt I guess
bodykit - don't know...not into body kits
paint - any good quality custom paint shop
headlights and taillights - keep stock tails. of doing MY2002/2003 get morettes, or black out the headlights on any year

Thumbs up

^^^ good stuff. Pat on the back for the Neova AD07's, good stuff.

As for body kit's you could save a few bucks by just adding a lip and rear spats. (sp?)

But yes I'd go with MBasile route.
