I appreciate all the comments everyone! But again! I build my cars which make me happy and I build them in the image I envision. I enjoy my cars and builds. Not everyone is supposed to like your car. I’m just giving advice on some mods like these because I get asked a lot about them. I hope everyone has 1 mod in video that you may like and decide to do. Again everyone has different preferences and I hope you all build the cars you all envision as well. Build something different too many cars the same these days. But importantly, do what you love guys! Always send positivity and love in the car community
Mitty Tokumeisei tbh. With how much power these cars have unless your doing MAJOR track events I didn’t value brakes that can be between 4-6k on these cars. Brakes are VERY important but cost/effectiveness personally on “these” WRX cars there are many other mods that can be done for street driving :). Now if I do a mod video of top mods for track. Brakes easily top 10 if not 5
Best mod by far is a universal Subaru flex fuel kit from eBay saving 200-250$ from buying same thing branded by Cobb and then getting a flex fuel tune by Bren or phatbotti. Hands down best money spent. And if you bundle the ap purchase with their e tune then you save 100-200$ on that as well. Just went e50 with universal flex kit and power gains are insane. 360/360.
1. Shift stop any brand 2. Kart Boy or Perrin short shift adapter 3. Weighted and/or ergonomic shift knob. 4. Lighter wheels. OE weighs 26 lbs. Don't gotta spend $4,000 for 18 LB Volks. $1000 gets you a good set of Cosmis Racing or ESR wheels that weigh between 20 and 22 lbs. Rota Grids are circa 22 lbs. Rotary forged wheels are great too but understand these wheels (like RPF1 or NTO3+m) are great wheels but not ideal for places with potholes. Your wheels will bend. Can never go wrong with a set of Gram Lights 57DR. Recommend 18 inch wheels between 8.5 and 9.5 inches. +40 to +55 offset is best for handling. 5. Don't gotta buy Michelins, but Nitto, Nankang and Hankook make good wallet friendly performance tires. 235-255 width is best. Any more and your wheels gets heavier and wet traction worsens. 40 sidewall is best to protect the rim. Wouldn't go beyond 35. 6. Coilovers. OE struts and shocks are great. But if you wanna go low, fortune auto 510 on swift springs are really good. Ohlins if you got money. Tein and BC if you like me. 7. Sway bars. 8. Quality exhaust. Tomei, AWE, Fujitsubo, Nameless, Remark, Magnaflow, Perrin. 9. Air Oil Separator 10. Paint protectant (synthetic sealant, ceramic coat, whatever). Front lip for protecting the bumper, mud flaps to keep the summer tires from sand blasting the paint, whatever. Less warranty friendly but not voiding mods: 11. Hear wrap your headers. Headers will wear faster but oil temps will drop. A lot. 12. Cobb Accessport with Cobb intake and stage 1+ 93 octane tune. 13. Seats (because of the electronics, the seat belt latch, airbag components, heating/electrical components). Out of warranty but worthwhile: 14. EBCS 15: EGRD 16. TGVD 17. Jpipe (catted or catless) 18. FMIC (optional) 19. Flex Fuel and tune 20. Brake upgrade.
With a factory tune, I recommend the xtra long throw shifter. That way, after easing off the throttle, double clutching, and playing a full game of solitaire, you can shift from 1st to 2nd
Nice vid. I 'highly recommend' a group n transmission mount. Shifting feels more direct with the stiffer mount. If you look into it, there are 2 sizes, so make sure you the the one that fits your year's chassis.
Everyone builds around their budget, I dig it. Personally I like the flares made for the car more than the universal ones, and I would get real wheels over the vordovens. But I definitely recommend when you do have more saved up to swap out the cipher seats, they look nice and all but they're cheap and not FIA approved, in a car accident I wouldn't trust those seats to not snap on you. I've had friends run fake/cheap seats, your life isn't worth $400. Just my two cent, keep it up tho 👌🏻
I got DGM, but I should have gotten Pure Red or WRB. DGM looks great with silver or white wheels and yellow Brembos. Otherwise, it's just not a great color for the body lines. Go blue.
@@ChristianHudnell they look boss...your whole car looks and sounds great, happy for you brother....quick question tho, when swapping the seats, were you able to still make use of the seat warmers? God bless
I’m not into the STI style wing. I put a Perrin gunny flap on mine. Only 100$, looks mean, adds some great down force that you can notice even at 30mph. If you’re not into paying hella money for short throw shift, get a shift stop. Takes the rattle out of 1st and 2nd gear
That hood looks great. Theres some shit ones out there that dont fit right. You should post a list of the mods. Are the seats u got wider. Im 6'2 240lbs, stock seats are narrow as hell
As a service advisor for a dealership which has Subaru i can confidently tell you most of the mods he is listing my service manager would tell him to try and find another dealer to get his work done. Not saying that all dealers are like this but mine is i take my modded subbie to a dealer who is mod friendly
like you said with having to take your Subaru to a certain dealer that is mod friendly it’s same thing here. All depends on dealership as you mentioned :) Good info to spread to people. Basically gotta find a dealership that is fine with certain cars and working on certain cars. It was same way for my vette as well. Just stating in video these won’t void “warranty” but your right a dealer can tell you to go somewhere else happened to me before.
I have a dgm rex too and fam yours looks good. I just installed that same lip. that grill...omg Wish you were over on the east coast for a collab lol good luck with the build
Subaru’s are like a bob ross painting You fix it up it’s perfect and then at the end you go to far and ruin it Like stickers rope tow hook splitters on the rear spoiler Basically if you cut back a little it will look so much better
Nice car overall, but I personally would have picked a different body kit, maybe something with more coverage, as to me it kind of looked odd or out of place, especially on the rear fender area, just my opinion :).
Sphoxros all good! The car came with this wide kit on it when I bought it. There are definitely better kits out there but looks much better in person. Appreciate the comment thanks :)
RED HOONIGAN VLOGS I have a white 2018 so I don’t think I would like the carbon fiber hood or that many carbon or black accents aside from a front lip but I do want some new headlights/taillights. I really like subispeeds. Everything goes really well with your car though good looks man
Mathias Strickland thanks a lot man! And aye that’s dope the new 18s look really good. Subiespeed has DOPE lights and like them. But they are pretty pricey. But they are swag and really nice go for it :). Build the car that makes you happy man
LaFlame 5280 thanks bro! Headlights are OEM. Just added the c light and halo rings from inside. Previous owner did kit but you can do it yourself. Look up subiespeed and online to get pieces
Did you consult the dealer first about whether or not these voided the warranty? I'm just curious, how does the suspension not void the warranty? You basically overhauled the whole suspension which seems like something that is voidable. For the spoiler, I know in the past you had to purchase a whole new trunk. Is that the case for these newer Subarus or can you easily just drill and mount it onto a stock WRX trunk?
The carbon fiber hood is definitely first on my list. Am most probably going with an sti. Found one today in the pearl white....think it would look nice to contrast that white with the black carbon fiber in different spots.
@@ChristianHudnell Actually will be a good gift from my fiance. She drives a forester and after I commented on how much I liked driving it, she said "I'm gonna get you a Subaru then". I was like..."but the only Subaru I want is either a wrx or sti".
The issue I always see is the fit and finish of the fender bolt-on's always seem to have space between them after warping. Seats def good idea. I'm 6-4 and when my kid had an STi I didn't fit within the bolsters.
Yeah you have to be arch for warping and just stay on top of it and make sure dirtying install fit is flush as you can with good hardware. Seats much better. Yeah my buddy is 6’4 as well so I understand how you feel. Thanks for comment
Bro I love your wrx! I just recently picked up my 2019 wrx and I love it! I was wondering where did you get that red tow strap that’s hanging out the front? I’d like to put one on mine. @SubZeruVlogs
Initial D sticker on a all-wheel-drive car that will never drift in its life and put wide sticky tires on the car that will never spin.All the mods he showed never increase the horsepower
Not my cup of tea but those seats are mint!.. The ricer in me wants to love the headlights but man I keep thinking "evo" when I look at them.. idk if ill do it... What I hate the most is the color. I have the same color and I just hate it. Its so plain and does not give the CF hood any justice. With that said, I highly recommend you do a paint correction and full paint detail. It really brought out the deep color on my car and I can tell you need it too. You will love it.
ROBSKI yeah those should be fine. To void warranty and manufacture has to “prove” the mods you did damaged or caused the failure to occurs. So that’s why embers, catback exhaust, wheels, etc are fine cause they have nothing to do mostly with engine for most part in terms of warranty
Mace 1 Subaru dealers scan a card ECU to see if it’s been tampered with. You can always try doing a stage 1 tune on car but they can now see if it was previously tuned or not
Mod 4 gonna have to disagree i have a 18 sti and 19 wrx as my daily.... sti handling is 10/10 out the box even if you change the sway bars or add coilovers its just not the same... let alone the better brakes and the lsd... wrx is more of the daily driver car🤔🤔 But you said for you... you must be smoking that good shit bro to feel that🤣🤣
Duckrockerz4life i was referring to daily driving handling, hence the daily reference. A WRX won’t handle on tracks better then an STI with suspension, brakes, diff, etc. but driving everyday being able to have a more comfortable driving feel and smoother. That’s what I meant. You can’t push in the street anyway. Thanks for watching appreciate the comment and congrats on cars :)
@@ChristianHudnell cant hate on the wrx i think it got a overdue update it clearly is the better value, because the sti to me is just a 2006 sti with better technology and handling But even street wise handling is a lot better like on the street u cant hit its limits, its just sometimes when you go on a rough road that experience is annoying but the wrx is more liveable your 100% right🤣🤣
Duckrockerz4life haha yeah!! I’m just excited for the next gen STI, it is seriously in big need of updating. I do agree though and handling I’m sure will be really good
Y'all might call this a "ricer" but this is about what the car owner likes. If you guys were really enthusiasts then you would realize that it doesn't matter how a car comes stock (to an extent) it matters how you upgrade it and how much enjoyment YOU get out of it. Remember how vehicles started, and look at where they are now, a lot of the styles makers use are inspired by modded performance cars, so wouldn't that make any car you get straight from the dealer somewhat a ricer as well? It's "slow" but it has added looks that at one point weren't standard.. An enthusiast should respect others visions....hey the dude with the lime green lambo or car on rims that cost more than the actual car might look ridiculous to you...but that's what they like.
JTundra hey! Well a “catback” exhaust upgrade will be fine. The catback is just the edit point and doesn’t afford anything. However, changing the downpipe/j pipe- etc will because you will need a tune with those mods. Mainly catback good also because you don’t need a tune :). Good question
Red Hoonigan, you caught any flack for trying to gain fame by bouncin' off the Hoonigan name.? I see you even rock some Hoonigan stickers. I see possible legal action in your future.
TEKNOiD hey! What’s funny is that’s kind of the name others started calling me. I have a red corvette and says HOONIGAN in it so people started calling me that. Many cars here in LA have HOONIGAN in cars. I been to the HOONIGAN headquarters with my vette and they liked car :). If change name if they asked me to
Clemente De La Cruz hey! Brakes is a great mod but IMO if your car doesn’t have serious power or isn’t fully built then cost/effectiveness doesn’t make sense. Good brakes can be between 3-5k for really good ones. But spending that much on a car under 300 RWHP doesn’t make sense personally. But if my car was best mods for “track/modddd setup. Brakes would be top 5 for sure! 🙌🏾. Now if we talking about my vette brakes are important as well. Thanks for comment man
Thank you for not saying rims! I can't stand when people say rims when they are talking about the wheels so annoying. Car looks really really badass. I have a 97 legacy gt gold factory wheels. It's na I want to make it turbo 169 whp just isn't enough sometimes hahaha
Ok, so the first mod, I highly highly recommend is watching a video from another, more knowledgeable creator who has a tuning philosophy for the sti and doesn't just highly recommend the parts they sold him at the local "tuner" shop...
Edward Agora Feenman I’m confused. I didn’t mention a single thing about “tuning” or performance power “mods”. This video is about warranty mods. “Tuning and power” voids warranty. I appreciate comment but I didn’t talk about that aspect in video. This car is my daily. I have my vette tuned
Madtwos ! Well he is stating to see a Person with more knowledge about “tuning” and assuming I bought parts from a local “tune” shop. I’m just confused how he can make that accusation when I mentioned nothing about tuning in the video haha. Also, I pride myself on getting high quality parts and taking care of my cars but again my cars. I build my cars to fit my needs and wants not just for someone else. If I’m paying for car I will build them the way I like and what makes me happy :)
Madtwos ! It’s all good. I just want to spread love throughout car community and enthusiasts. We all enjoy cars and building them. Take ideas from each other and if you don’t like them don’t use them. We all wanna build cars in the image we love and that’s what makes it fun! Your perfect build won’t be the same for others :)
What is the width on your wheels? Did you have to cut a lot for them to fit perfectly? I’m about to do the flares myself and I’m worried about tire fitment/clearance??
SubZeru Vlogs You have good taste and no problem. Just curious, what headlights are those? They are the only aftermarket headlights I like the looks of.
xxDuo appreciate it! I actually made a headlight video talking about everything that went into the lights. I can’t remember everything fully but it’s on there :)
wondering has there been any problems with the wide body kit . My ex man says he won’t get a fender flare kit on his truck cus in between there can be water and road salt n other small debris that can be caught in it and will cause rust and problems . I I’ve along the US Canada border so ther is road salt in the winter but for where your standing , have you noticed anything that bothers you . I’d like to do a wide body in my wrx but lookin for more info etc . Cheers
janice sanderson ahhh yeah depends where you live. I haven’t had many issues with my fender kit at all and works good but I live in a better climate for these mods.
jomamma24 I went into 6th...from 5th I go straight down. The gears are close but to go front 5th to 4th in this one you gotta turn back left. Thanks man! Love this car
First off LOVE YOUR CAR!!!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I just had a quick question, when you put the wing on the back, did you have to drill holes or did you go ahead and buy the STI trunk that comes with the spoiler
Can you explain a bit more about how the hood lowers your temperature? Are you talking about air intake charge air temperature or your engine temperature.
These are awesome! They are basically rally coil-overs. They don't move much and no jarring on road. Bumps are smooth, I don;t rub and I also can feel them working well
That WRX Guy DERP wheels or you mean tires? The tires feel great. This car handles great with wide stance and tires to me. I’m building car for canyons and track
Out the gate, I disagree. The WRX seats hug you, and are very comfortable. Replacing your seats is a complete waste of money. Furthermore, the stock shifter is fine, and who gives cares about lights. Suspension upgrades are a waste of money, unless you’re going to the track. Also going catback before J pipe is stupid. I disagree with basically everything you recommend. Every mod you have is superficial, doesn’t add anything to your vehicle. It’s your car, and your money, so I guess to each their own...
I appreciate all the comments everyone! But again! I build my cars which make me happy and I build them in the image I envision. I enjoy my cars and builds. Not everyone is supposed to like your car. I’m just giving advice on some mods like these because I get asked a lot about them. I hope everyone has 1 mod in video that you may like and decide to do.

keep doing you, no one else will for you
Looks great but since you mentioned suspension you forgot about brake upgrade. Red brembos not the yellow that the sti comes with
Mitty Tokumeisei tbh. With how much power these cars have unless your doing MAJOR track events I didn’t value brakes that can be between 4-6k on these cars. Brakes are VERY important but cost/effectiveness personally on “these” WRX cars there are many other mods that can be done for street driving :). Now if I do a mod video of top mods for track. Brakes easily top 10 if not 5
@@ChristianHudnell how about you post where you bought all these accessories/mods from and the price.
cybernutjr2 not a bad idea! Thanks.
I'm from Japan and and happy to see the sticker 日本製, meaning " Made in Japan." Your wrx looks much better than mine!
Just put in for a loan with a local credit union for a 2017 WRX, wish me luck guys!
Good luck!! I hope all works out with car and hope you enjoy it if you get it
Goodluck!
Goodluck bro
good luck, just bought mine a few weeks ago and learned stick in it
Did u get it?
I appreciate the video and the content...
...but if you say "highly recommend" one more time....
Hahaha I didn't realize I said it so much wayyyyy too many times !! facts
I was like oh stop complaining and then I watched the video and holy shit it's annoying lol
Bro ignore the haters! Your wrx is a neck breaker!
Super beast!
I can’t wait to get one of my own!
Jeffrey Aviles appreciate it bro! Build the car you love for you man.
Turns people into owls. I have acquired 180 neck turning ability looking at wrx
Youve spent a lot of money on appearence maybe balance the rice out with some engine mods/ performance mods just a suggestion
in my opinion your car without stickers will looks 10 times better.
Francisco Silva ally old respect it. Crazy how different my car looks now
Eh tbh I think that look pretty good
100%
And if you just can't ditch the stickers, at least consider swapping out the Vaseline Intensive Care (jerk-off cream) for something more manly.
Gia Flex come on man every dude needs vaseline to survive. especially in quarantine

I got DGM, but I should have gotten Pure Red or WRB. DGM looks great with silver or white wheels and yellow Brembos. Otherwise, it's just not a great color for the body lines. Go blue.
Really depends. In person the color pops when it’s clean. The blue does look dope but I don’t see many cars with my color around me so stands out
Powder grey
Bro the second you commented on the seats, I hit LIKE before seeing the rest of the vid....man I hate how uncomfortable the seats are (2019 base)

The carbon fiber hood is definitely first on my list. Am most probably going with an sti. Found one today in the pearl white....think it would look nice to contrast that white with the black carbon fiber in different spots.
Awesome! Did you end up getting the STI?
@@ChristianHudnell will be getting one within the next few months
@@Catgat37 Congrats! That will be a nice gift to yourself. Go for it!
@@ChristianHudnell Actually will be a good gift from my fiance. She drives a forester and after I commented on how much I liked driving it, she said "I'm gonna get you a Subaru then".
I was like..."but the only Subaru I want is either a wrx or sti".
Aye man what’s that red lanyard for in front of the car, I’m new to cars man and I really wanna find out what’s it for or what’s it called.
depression himself all good! That is a tow hook basically and a stylish kit
The issue I always see is the fit and finish of the fender bolt-on's always seem to have space between them after warping. Seats def good idea. I'm 6-4 and when my kid had an STi I didn't fit within the bolsters.
Yeah you have to be arch for warping and just stay on top of it and make sure dirtying install fit is flush as you can with good hardware. Seats much better. Yeah my buddy is 6’4 as well so I understand how you feel. Thanks for comment
Bro I love your wrx! I just recently picked up my 2019 wrx and I love it!
I was wondering where did you get that red tow strap that’s hanging out the front? I’d like to put one on mine. @SubZeruVlogs
Thank you and congrats!!! Check ebay for them and for tow hooks or go on subispeed.com :)
It's the Initial D sticker for me 😍
AYE!!!! Glad you noticed. I love initial d
what short throw shifter do you have?
I'm taking order of My WRX soon. this gave me a good idea of what I can waste my money on before the warranty goes out and the tuning starts.
Christian Seymour of course! Glad this could help :)
@@ChristianHudnell would you be able yo link some of the products you mentioned?
@@cseymour97 Im gonna try and do a full mod video and have a links for that
@@ChristianHudnell that would be amazing! Thanks!
@@cseymour97 Cool and of course thank you for watching
3:57 eeeeyyyy see that initial D sticker ❤️
Thanks! Initial D all day
@@ChristianHudnell Absolutely!
Initial D sticker on a all-wheel-drive car that will never drift in its life and put wide sticky tires on the car that will never spin.All the mods he showed never increase the horsepower
Not my cup of tea but those seats are mint!.. The ricer in me wants to love the headlights but man I keep thinking "evo" when I look at them.. idk if ill do it... What I hate the most is the color. I have the same color and I just hate it. Its so plain and does not give the CF hood any justice. With that said, I highly recommend you do a paint correction and full paint detail. It really brought out the deep color on my car and I can tell you need it too. You will love it.
Jonathan Chavez I’ve thought about wrapping the car. Have a hook up on getting a wrap for car guy who did my vette! Can’t decide on color
Would i be able to change my emblems and shifter knob and still be in warranty? I’m new to car modding…
ROBSKI yeah those should be fine. To void warranty and manufacture has to “prove” the mods you did damaged or caused the failure to occurs. So that’s why embers, catback exhaust, wheels, etc are fine cause they have nothing to do mostly with engine for most part in terms of warranty
What about the Cold air intake? Shouldn’t void your warranty cause you can always put back the old intake and remap your car back to stage 0
Mace 1 Subaru dealers scan a card ECU to see if it’s been tampered with. You can always try doing a stage 1 tune on car but they can now see if it was previously tuned or not
Good video. I liked this guy. Good presentation. Your car, you do as you please. Sweet ride!
Bill DeSha thanks! Appreciate it man
This is a great video man! I worked on cosmetic mods first as well so I'm glad you made this video for anyone looking to hang onto their warranty!
Yeah exactly! If you have the warranty might as well take advantage of that
Mod 4 gonna have to disagree i have a 18 sti and 19 wrx as my daily.... sti handling is 10/10 out the box even if you change the sway bars or add coilovers its just not the same... let alone the better brakes and the lsd... wrx is more of the daily driver car🤔🤔
But you said for you... you must be smoking that good shit bro to feel that🤣🤣
Duckrockerz4life i was referring to daily driving handling, hence the daily reference. A WRX won’t handle on tracks better then an STI with suspension, brakes, diff, etc. but driving everyday being able to have a more comfortable driving feel and smoother. That’s what I meant. You can’t push in the street anyway. Thanks for watching appreciate the comment and congrats on cars :)
@@ChristianHudnell cant hate on the wrx i think it got a overdue update it clearly is the better value, because the sti to me is just a 2006 sti with better technology and handling
But even street wise handling is a lot better like on the street u cant hit its limits, its just sometimes when you go on a rough road that experience is annoying but the wrx is more liveable your 100% right🤣🤣
Duckrockerz4life haha yeah!! I’m just excited for the next gen STI, it is seriously in big need of updating. I do agree though and handling I’m sure will be really good
Y'all might call this a "ricer" but this is about what the car owner likes. If you guys were really enthusiasts then you would realize that it doesn't matter how a car comes stock (to an extent) it matters how you upgrade it and how much enjoyment YOU get out of it. Remember how vehicles started, and look at where they are now, a lot of the styles makers use are inspired by modded performance cars, so wouldn't that make any car you get straight from the dealer somewhat a ricer as well? It's "slow" but it has added looks that at one point weren't standard.. An enthusiast should respect others visions....hey the dude with the lime green lambo or car on rims that cost more than the actual car might look ridiculous to you...but that's what they like.
K M facts! Appreciate the comment and I feel the same way bro
@@ChristianHudnell Broette* ;) and my pleasure 🤙
dude your wrx is savage
richie mbithi thanks man!!!!!!
Just looking to pick up a WRX and wanted some visual ideas. This is one of the funnest videos I've seen. Looks great!
Matt Snyder haha I aim to entertain! All good thanks!
Nice man i gotta do some on my STI 👍
Thanks man! Dope that you have an STI!
Picking my 2016 wrx premium up on Tuesday im so hyped
Congrats that is awesome!
What front lip is that? Ur subi is fire🔥
Marco A. Lopez thanks! Check out my other video! It’s the lip and install for you
Just picked up my 2017 wrx fam can’t wait to get started on it! You just got a sub homie💪
Congrats on your car and build that is amazing! Thank you for subscribing and following
Hey man quick questions, what front lip is that. And where did you buy the wing and or get it installed
Armando Osorio check my RUclips video on front lip :) I got STI wing online
He highly recommend it
I just bought a 2019 wrx premium and and look In to modding it slightly so this helped
Samuel Rowland thanks! I’m glad my video was able to help you
I just got a WRX Premium too!
@@codygreene9067 Congrats on your purchase :)
I was told exhaust will void anything from the warranty that covers exhaust
JTundra hey! Well a “catback” exhaust upgrade will be fine. The catback is just the edit point and doesn’t afford anything. However, changing the downpipe/j pipe- etc will because you will need a tune with those mods. Mainly catback good also because you don’t need a tune :). Good question
RED HOONIGAN VLOGS im thinking of doing a muffler delete
Easy mod to do and should make car sound better :)
Wrx and sti diffarent markets for the love of the car. Wrx sexy car but comfy daily driver. Sti sexy car and performance. Love the subi man good work.
Agree and thank you I appreciate that a lot
One of the best looking WRX
Mahdiyar Saberi thanks a lot man!
Carbon fibre hood looks sick but damn $1600.
Haha I didn’t pay that much but they are pricey for sure
Red Hoonigan, you caught any flack for trying to gain fame by bouncin' off the Hoonigan name.?
I see you even rock some Hoonigan stickers.
I see possible legal action in your future.
TEKNOiD hey! What’s funny is that’s kind of the name others started calling me. I have a red corvette and says HOONIGAN in it so people started calling me that. Many cars here in LA have HOONIGAN in cars. I been to the HOONIGAN headquarters with my vette and they liked car :). If change name if they asked me to
A stick of dynamite is the ultimate upgrade. What better way to improve these pos than exploding them.
How about brakes
Clemente De La Cruz hey! Brakes is a great mod but IMO if your car doesn’t have serious power or isn’t fully built then cost/effectiveness doesn’t make sense. Good brakes can be between 3-5k for really good ones. But spending that much on a car under 300 RWHP doesn’t make sense personally. But if my car was best mods for “track/modddd setup. Brakes would be top 5 for sure! 🙌🏾. Now if we talking about my vette brakes are important as well. Thanks for comment man
I have a 2011 Dark Grey Metallic WRX and I just got some matte bronze wheels!
Awesome! That is a really nice color combination
Man awesome car, love the color and nice mods!!!!my grade is 9 out of 10.
Victor Herrero thanks appreciate it a lot!
Just copped a 2017 Subaru WRX STI with 40k miles as a first car :)
So awesome!! Congrats that is really dope
First mod to do as a vlogger. Get a better camera and gimbal to make it smooth. But sick wrx!
Ricky Marlbro thanks man! Yeah need to get equipment. Just wanted to start making videos and content but defiantly need better stuff thanks
@@ChristianHudnell Have to start with what you have. Good job.. will be subbing
Jason Hall thanks a lot man! Really appreciate it. I’m gonna buy a gimbal for next video
Thank you for not saying rims! I can't stand when people say rims when they are talking about the wheels so annoying. Car looks really really badass. I have a 97 legacy gt gold factory wheels. It's na I want to make it turbo 169 whp just isn't enough sometimes hahaha
I'm a DJ sticker cringe level cranked to 100
Hey brav, can you talk more about your exhaust system as I have an forester xt duel stock exhaust and I'm looking to get a loud/performance exhaust.
Hey! This one was a custom made exhaust from the tips to the Catback itself
@@ChristianHudnell thanks
Ok, so the first mod, I highly highly recommend is watching a video from another, more knowledgeable creator who has a tuning philosophy for the sti and doesn't just highly recommend the parts they sold him at the local "tuner" shop...
Edward Agora Feenman I’m confused. I didn’t mention a single thing about “tuning” or performance power “mods”. This video is about warranty mods. “Tuning and power” voids warranty. I appreciate comment but I didn’t talk about that aspect in video. This car is my daily. I have my vette tuned
What he was saying is that he recommends someone watch a video from another person who has a tuning philosophy rather than your video which is not.
Madtwos ! Well he is stating to see a Person with more knowledge about “tuning” and assuming I bought parts from a local “tune” shop. I’m just confused how he can make that accusation when I mentioned nothing about tuning in the video haha. Also, I pride myself on getting high quality parts and taking care of my cars but again my cars. I build my cars to fit my needs and wants not just for someone else. If I’m paying for car I will build them the way I like and what makes me happy :)
He was pretty much just being rude. But I understand what he said. lol
Madtwos ! It’s all good. I just want to spread love throughout car community and enthusiasts. We all enjoy cars and building them. Take ideas from each other and if you don’t like them don’t use them. We all wanna build cars in the image we love and that’s what makes it fun! Your perfect build won’t be the same for others :)
Where did you get your fender flares? I live in the inland empire looking for someone to get those done
Jose Robles they are called HT AUTO FENDER FLARES :)
rice
Jayson Asuit I do like my rice. Thanks! Appreciate the comment. Keep spreading positivity :)
Jayson Asuit xff
Jayson Asuit lmao ur ruining the car scene bro
I agree man rice asf
Yuuuup. Big time
what rims specifications and tire specifications do you have? they look really nice.
Thanks they are vordoven forme 9 wheels and 285 30 18s all around
What is the width on your wheels? Did you have to cut a lot for them to fit perfectly? I’m about to do the flares myself and I’m worried about tire fitment/clearance??
how can be more confortable in race set hahaha they are not made at all for being confortable, btw nice video!
Just got my 2018 wrx ! Can’t wait!
Awesome! Congrats on new car!
You’re not scared of state ref ? The car is diffnitinely loud . Especially living in Cali lol
Yeah car was loud for sure
Very nice. I'm missing my 09' rex now...😢 Keep up the good work ✌
Mister -_- McGill thanks! My friend has a 08 rally track Alex WRX. These are great and fun cars
First wrx I’ve seen that I like with a lot of customization. Good job!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the compliment and for watching the video
SubZeru Vlogs You have good taste and no problem. Just curious, what headlights are those? They are the only aftermarket headlights I like the looks of.
xxDuo appreciate it! I actually made a headlight video talking about everything that went into the lights. I can’t remember everything fully but it’s on there :)
SubZeru Vlogs Word, Ill check it out when I get a chance 🤙🏼
wondering has there been any problems with the wide body kit . My ex man says he won’t get a fender flare kit on his truck cus in between there can be water and road salt n other small debris that can be caught in it and will cause rust and problems . I I’ve along the US Canada border so ther is road salt in the winter but for where your standing , have you noticed anything that bothers you . I’d like to do a wide body in my wrx but lookin for more info etc . Cheers
janice sanderson ahhh yeah depends where you live. I haven’t had many issues with my fender kit at all and works good but I live in a better climate for these mods.
The initial d sticker is the best part of the car
haha right! I think so as well too
I don’t care what anyone says bro your subie is really nice. And I like how you put the wing on.
SERGIO GARCIA thanks a lot bro really appreciate it man! Thank you
Clean Wrx. Quick question, are you running wheels spacers? If so what size. Also is your fenders cut?
JFal hey man! Yeah running 10 spacers and fenders were cut and trimmed
I saw you said your cat back exhaust was custom. Just wondering if you can tell me what you did?
Hey! Just a custom pipe that was made to fit the oem pipes. 3inch muffler delete with a mid pipe essentially
Lol @ 3:12 says 6th gear but goes into 4th. Great looking car!!
jomamma24 I went into 6th...from 5th I go straight down. The gears are close but to go front 5th to 4th in this one you gotta turn back left. Thanks man! Love this car
Great video! Thanks for putting all of this together! Hope to see you out on the roads in Chicago!
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate it
Car looks dope dude. I just traded in for a 2016 STI which is on the way. Can't wait. Def need to find me the lights!
Everyone says Subaru’s have problems with blown motors is that true ?
Marc Moss they usually are great unless you try and get over 400 RWHP. Once you get that high you may need to build the engine more
SubZeru Vlogs so a stock sti would be fine ?
Marc Moss oh yeah for sure. Stis are good just gotta do regular maintenance on it
SubZeru Vlogs for sure. Keep doing your thing. Your is car NASTY🤗
Marc Moss thanks a lot bro! I really appreciate that a lot
First off LOVE YOUR CAR!!!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I just had a quick question, when you put the wing on the back, did you have to drill holes or did you go ahead and buy the STI trunk that comes with the spoiler
Nate Walchenbach thanks so much I really appreciate it a lot! I drilled holes in my trunk to do the install for the wing thanks for the comment
Can you explain a bit more about how the hood lowers your temperature? Are you talking about air intake charge air temperature or your engine temperature.
No it just allows air to pass around the engine
The intake air is the same temp it just gives air to blow around the engine helps a lot
How does the Ksport GR's take bumps in road? I dont like the adjustable coilovers I have on my WRX...I liked the factory struts ride better.
These are awesome! They are basically rally coil-overs. They don't move much and no jarring on road. Bumps are smooth, I don;t rub and I also can feel them working well
I'm planning on either finding a used one or building an automatic one due to me being in sc with constant stop and go traffic
Nice! I would recommend the manual. i am in a lot of traffic but so worth it
Nice mod list over all bro, but I want to ask why go with those size wheels? Didnt want to ho to meaty? Just wanted to ask
That WRX Guy DERP wheels or you mean tires? The tires feel great. This car handles great with wide stance and tires to me. I’m building car for canyons and track
Out the gate, I disagree. The WRX seats hug you, and are very comfortable. Replacing your seats is a complete waste of money. Furthermore, the stock shifter is fine, and who gives cares about lights. Suspension upgrades are a waste of money, unless you’re going to the track. Also going catback before J pipe is stupid. I disagree with basically everything you recommend. Every mod you have is superficial, doesn’t add anything to your vehicle. It’s your car, and your money, so I guess to each their own...
Everyone entitled to their opinion :) that’s the great part about cars we can each build them to be different and that’s how they should be
