Good job bro 💪
Hey whats up Calleya neighbor. 😅 car looks good!
I have a VA STI, I like your red lip kit. Do you know if they make one like that for the VA?
I do not know unfortunately. The kit I have is the OEM Subaru STi kit. Given how long the VA has been around there will be plenty of options though.
I ordered the white kit from afd recently and it has horrible quality and paint. AFD's customer service is non-existent so I had to open a paypal claim to try and get a refund. I'll never order anything from them again. Wish there was an oem quality kit to purchase, I'll probably get oem panels painted instead.
Your car setup is the way Subaru should have made an STI look. Very nice build.
The plan was to create the STI we never got. I run close to the entire STi catalogue too, so only major difference is the interior and few minor cosmetics.
Nice install mate, what setting on the front bar did you set it on now ? Hardest or softest ? Does the car handle neutral with that set up now ? Do you get any oversteer ? Cheers.
I have a feeling it's still on the softer setting which was s equivalent to stock. I may change once Whiteline release their front LCA. As for handling, Ive been driving Subarus for 15 years now so if it does actually oversteer I'm used to it, but it's definitely a solid and point chassis now.
Cheers@VBWRXY , thanks for the response, I will aim for a neutral setting, I had the bars set up wrong in my previous Mitsubishi and used to get bad lift-off oversteer. Btw your VB build is top notch !
Hi Mate, do you have any plans for a track day with your beautiful VB?
Hey mate, there are eventual plans to track this car. Recently got an extinguisher as a start, but want to get a set of track day wheels/tyres and then a set of track brake pads.
no double-sided tape? not a single piece? It looks like you have the freedom to move the pieces out another 3-4mm if you wanted to, unless it says not to do that...
All of this was literally winging it as I installed. I had vague instructions from the seller, but overall everything else was my own doing. Ive got the new AFD Paint Matched Side Skirts on order so may revisit some of the install then.
can you see middle of the wing shaking from the rear mirror when you drive on bumpy road?
Well done my man! You did great! The car looks stunning with the new splitter kit 🎉🎉🎉
Hi pal. Wrx is looking Awsom. Maybe you help me with a question I have regarding the engine lite come on after your tune ( same thing is happening to me. Thank you.
Hey mate, if you get a code reader and check the code. Chances are it's the catalytic converter efficiency below threshold. It has to do with either no cat or high flow cats at the front O2 sensors when replacing the JPipe. Unfortunately under Cobbs green speed the code can not be turned off/ignored.
@VBWRXY thank you man.
Do you the link for front rotors
Did you get the Cherry Blossom trim pieces pre-installed by dealer or did you get em after you got the car? (Look sick btw)
absolutley love my world rally blue 50th anniversary edition wrx
FINISH YOUR BACKLOG.
How’s your vb been doing after 4months ? I’ve been thinking on getting a AP, I have 15k miles so far on mine I just want a little more feel
Just about to do this on the weekend. How does the flash feel? Any DAM drops? Knocking? I'm thinking about getting the dmann tunes that our US brothers are using. Upspec is up the road from me but I just don't know how good the tune is.
2020 and up is a good one to buy used ?
Nice vid, thanks for info. Just wondering is throttle response improved compared to stock, and does it rev out faster than stock or can't really tell? Fellow oz here thinking about just adding this and a catback just for a little more fun. Cheers
Thanks mate. Can't wait to get started on mine, just about done with break in period.
Bro thank you so much
Did they have any problems with the turbo/front pipe nuts?
I pushed about the same from my vb, had the tune about a year310-330 is about average for these mods depending on the tune day temp. 400+tqe is about the limit for the 6 speed gb to. Nice build so far
Love the build man 🔥 slowly getting my VB how I want it.
you are suppose to use a hole saw on the trunk backing. If you do that the bolts will fit.
Can’t wait for the tune!
He’s destroying the WRX’s resale value
Enhancing it, more like. Most secondhand WRX buyers would crave these mods.
@@bjammin187naw ppl don't want to buy modded cars. you would be better off parting it out than selling modded.
@@brian6speed fair enough, yes that would probably be a majority of buyers.
I love the cherry side skirt extensions.
Keep in mind that if you start to play with boost, fuel and ECU you might blow up the engine. The reason I say this because from the factory you get the most reliable tune . I know that I felt excited the same way years ago but the more I have learned the more failures I have seen the less excited I get . You see even if everything is done correctly once you start burning more fuel your exhaust temperatures would rise and you don’t have temperature sensor on the inlet to the turbo and temperature sensors on each cylinder. What happens during engine overload condition is your exhaust temperature will go much higher that the engine can tolerate and with in few minutes your exhaust valve will grow from the excessive heat but since your valve guides are cooled by the engine coolant they will remain the same size and it won’t take long when your exhaust valves friction between the valve guide and the valve will exceed the spring pressure and than you will have valve float this is an interference engine this meant the valve won’t close on time and the piston will hit the valve. After that the valve drop piston will hit it again and come out from the side of the engine. Then your engine is done the block is broken everything will be in to pieces.
on these cars the weak point is the transmission.
Good video, I can’t wait to pick up mine!
Thanks, Hope you enjoy yours!
Love the way the build is coming along
I was watching your videos last night on tv,and i give you credit you're videos are really good. Keep up the good work and looking forward to future videos 👍👍
Thanks! Its taken a bit to get to this point but im happy with the results
Excellent video, the walk through each step is a big help.
Good job.
Noob question: Are all those red parts just cosmetic pieces or do they serve a purpose?
They are pretty much a cosmetic piece. It's a road car so any potential change of airflow they may produce wouldn't be noticeable.
AU WRX VIDEOS 🤘🤘🤘
Really appreciate the support! Tanner and yourself were a huge inspiration behind me starting this channel and my build. Love your channel and keep up the amazing work you do for the VB community!
You need to get a brake line wrench set. It’s common to strip those bolts on a brake line. There are wrenches that are designed just for this task.
I was using a flare nut wrench, but definetly need to get a proper brake like set then
Nice! What are your wheel spec? I have a wrx TR and am looking to go down to 18s for a winter set.
Wheels are 18x9.5 +38. Fortunately dont have that issue here in Aus.
Love the video bro. I need to do the same for mine
Thanks Bro! This was a mod ive always planned jsut happened sooner than expected as a full set became available. I havent had a proper chance to test them out yet, but they are feeling good and will help out when i eventually track this car.
How much US $? And did you just get the calipers from eBay?
All up was just over 5K USD on current conversion. Calipers came from a local source, not eBay or even a pre-made brake kit. I'd look at the kit from FastWRX if you are in the USA.
Great video! Very helpful content!
Nice work!! Looking great!!
Nice wrx mate! Im based in Perth too, which tuner are you planning to work with?
I was planning on Maximum as they tuned my old WRx, but unfortunately they are booked out until January. Currently checking out Evo R as they've done a friend's VB as well.
I live in Perth and got the RS. If your keen to catch up let me know! Ellenbrook
Awesome! Always good to have someone else from Perth with the VB. Hopefully come across you at upcoming meets!
Hi mate I have a VB WRX and live in Perth too I would love to see your car Ken
Awesome! Always good to have someone else from Perth with the VB. Hopefully come across you at upcoming meets!
@@VBWRXY could we meet one Saturday morning in Joondalup just for 30 to 60 mins to chat and see each other's car ?
Shoot me a message on IG or Facebook and I'm sure we can setup something!
@@VBWRXY what is your fbk link ?

Hi mate, just picking up my vb wrx tomorrow (Sydney). I was thinking of going to pulse racing for a pro tune soon after run in. Who would you recommend?
In the Sydney area id be looking at Upspec Performance for the VB. Dan Um has been working with the VB since day 1 and has a range of packages to choose from. For other after market work try DC Jap and Street Element/Dmaker - both have workshops that can install parts for you.
Hi mate, Great video, I've just changed mine over today, after watching this video I ordered the gearbox mount bushing before installing the COBB plate and bushing, so thanks for the tip!
Hi Mate, glad the video helped you out. And hopefully your install went a little easier than mine. Enjoy driving it now!
Hi mate cool videos,I've got the sti lip aswell but scrapped in driveway, was wondering what colour code would you use for the calipers cherry blossom red,,,so I can get touch up for front lip ,,,thanks man ,,,ur build is looking sikkk
Thanks! You are not the only one, Ive got a small chip on my rear diffuser and the underside of my front lip is scrapped. Colour codes Ive found for the Subaru STI is either pantone 207C or Pantone 1935c
Thanks mate ,,, looking forward to see the progress of your vb ,,,cheers
Sony video looks great! Time to give those “sunnies” a wipe lol.
Thanks for the feedback! Still learning how to colour grade the Sony footage so should see some improvements over the coming videos. The sunnies do need a clean though!
I see you got engine light on why is that
Not CEL - it's the Low Type Pressure as I haven't swapped over the TPMS from the original wheels.
