New do it yourself WRX performance mod site

Yes, another site, but this time, I'm trying to put together a full list of mods that are video documented. It'll be a long process, but I want to put together the ultimate wrx mod resource.

Let me know if anyone is in the NYC area whos doing mods and is willing to let me document them.

Thanks,

oh here is the site so far, still alot of work.

It's okay, but not much new information. The Club Spec WRX is not available in North America and the price given is in Australian currency (obviously).

The description of how an internal combustion engine works is a bit simplistic. The ignition spark does not initiate an explosion, but a burning of the air/fuel ratio. It is often described as a flame front that moves across the combustion chamber with cylinder pressure increasing in a controlled manner. Detonation is a more spontaneous explosion that hammers the reciprocating parts, often while the piston is still approaching top dead center (TDC). There are a lot of available sources that can describe how an engine works better than I can explain it.

I like the clean layout of the site.

Thanks guys, yeah the explanations in there are basic on purpose. I want someone to get a general concept in the amount it time it takes someone to reda that section. I'll be breaking it out bigger. I'll add the link to this site as well.

Where are you getting your Subaru news stories from? You still have the story about the Australian market Club Spec WRX that will not be available in North America, as well as a second story that refers to the Subaru 'Liberty', which is the Legacy in North America.

The news is global. What does it matter if it nots available here?

I like it a lot. I think in the end it will be a very well thought out, easy to use, and extremely informative site for people who are either just getting into tuning or just don't have much tuning experience.

Bravo!
