Soundproofing

In keeping with trying to make the car as passenger friendly as possible. There’s no doubt replacing the rear resonator on the exhaust with a straight through pipe earlier this year increased cabin noise quite a bit! Don’t get me wrong, the exhaust sounds good! But too intrusive for it to be a comfortable tourer for...

Subaru Impreza WRX PPP (Prodrive Performance Pack) Self-Install

This is one of my favourite projects to date. Take one standard 2001 Subaru Impreza WRX, take one drivers club called the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club (SIDC) and one website called eBay. And what do you get?  A Subaru Impreza WRX PPP for the fraction of a cost of what you’d pay for PPP form...

Colour Coded Grill Badge

Always liked the idea of re-painting the standard badge... The pink one was getting the odd strange comments along with the vinyl one not looking as good as the standard badge due to the flat stars, the standard badge is more 3D. Was toying with the idea of doing either the Scottish saltire (copied from Higgy) or...

Hella Driving Light Install

After some humming and haying on the location.. decided to go for replacing the fogs... Other main option was up by the front grille. but few things put me off that.. 1. Disturbing the airflow for the scoop 2. Getting a SOLID securing point 3. Location (along with supertones) would block a LOT of air from...
