Subaru Impreza Sport - Build Walk Around - May 2021

[@OGTripleTriple]

The Whiteline sway bars are great. I have a front tower bar but I can't seem to find a rear tower bar for my car. It's a 2009 Forester.

[@_GarageThings]

Nice Impreza! I have a 2013 as a daily that I will be doing a few mods on soon To answer your adjustable endlink question.. From what I understand, the stock endlink length is specific to stock ride height. As you lower your car, adjustable endlinks allows your swaybar to sit at the correct level.. as swaybars are designed to twist, it’s common for them to sit as close to level as possible (ie, chassis mounting point level to endlink mounting point) Keep it up, I’m subbed

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

I see a lot of "Car people" upgrade their endlinks on stock suspensions, and sways. To what purpose other than to say they've upgraded a part that otherwise doesn't need upgrading.. thus my question. I would understand if thier was a significant drop, using adj. endlinks.. or if their sway bars were super heavy and needed the support over stock links. Other wise, yeah I didn't think so. Thanks! I enjoy this car quite a bit. I hope you do too!

[@_GarageThings]

I forget to mention they allow you to adjust swaybar preload as well for corner balancing.. not really necessary for a street car, but what mods are? Am I right 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@mrsubaru5367]

Nice i just got a 2022

[@JGsgarage_unboxings]

How do you like it? I'm probably ordering mine next month

[@mgstation]

Do you have the same taillights as this car?

[@donavinphelps1875]

Hey what are ther part numbers for those coilovers? Fortube Auto doesnt specifcally say any of them are made for the 5th gen impreza

[@rcruz6025]

Awesome work 👌

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

Thanks! I aim only to please myself with this car🤣 if others find it useful then even better!

[@dineshkola]

impressive. where did you get the side door protection done.

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

It's called "body side molding" a Subaru option that you can get/purchase and install yourself it's quite easy, as it's a simple adhesive. It comes with a template so you can make it straight to your door. Took about 30minutes self install. The cost however is high for what it is. That being said it helps break up the monotonous side of the impreza. 😀

[@GreenLotus223]

Did you get the BRZ coils because I don’t see one for the GP chassis

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

You will be looking for 2008-2014 wrx hatchback coilovers (GH narrow body chassis) they are a direct fit for the 2012-2016 Impreza. Good luck!

[@TransporterGamingLive]

I have 2016 same color like yours Impreza sport. Where can I buy that spoiler ?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

It came on my car from the factory. I hear the STI spoiler is hard to come by these days.

[@taiwalker7776]

Looks sick! I assume that's the 2015+ crosstrek STI spoiler, did you have any issues installing on the Impreza? I can't find any info online about whether it fits

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

Thanks! The STI spoiler will fit the Crosstrek. The Impreza and Crosstrek share the same chassis code (GP) Mine was installed by the factory. But I heard it comes with a guide to drill holes. Good luck!

[@matt_schacke]

Where did you get the spoiler??

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

It came factory installed 😍😎

[@dudechunky]

For the pitch stop, did you also upgrade the pitch stop brace? If you did? Can you sent me a link of where you got it?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

No I didn't use the brace. I don't know if that fits the Impreza

[@edcalderon3642]

Where did you get the rocker panel skirts from?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

The rocker panel comes with the sport model, the skirt is an All-Fit (full body) lip kit.

[@trail_sleighah]

I like your set up! I just got the 2018 version of that car. Is that intake actually for that car, or is it sold for WRX?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

The intake pipe is for a legacy /outback 2.5 from 2013 I believe. I had to do some air box cutting to make it fit. The idea is called a hybrid intake. You keep OEM panel filter capabilities but gain in the intake flow through the aftermarket piping.

[@user-hd5ue1rx9w]

Can you put links for the front diffuser, rear diffuser, lip and spoiler and

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

For the Impreza Sport, it is a Subaru Optional Part are called "aero splash guards" for the Sport trim", and "front underspoiler". the lip is an "All Fit full body lip kit"

[@jdmbaby6325]

Looks awesome! ❤️Where did you find the STi spoiler thank you for the tips. I just got a 2020 White Impreza Sport

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

The STI spoiler came factory installed on my sport model. 🙏enjoy the car!

[@jdmbaby6325]

@@JasonLeung-4roller nice 😊

[@Flylyfe_91]

Did you install the steering dampener lockdown yourself? I have an issue with my 18 Impreza the steering is so light that it feels like the car is swaying when I’m going fast speed. I went to the dealer because I’m new to Subaru and thought something was wrong. I’m trying to figure out what I can do to make the steering and handling better than the stock.

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

I installed it myself yes. It's easier from under the car. But if you had to you could do it from the top with a little cursing.

[@Flylyfe_91]

@@JasonLeung-4roller I’ll definitely have to look up how to do that thanks for the reply man great video, I’m also ordering the bar for the strut top

[@erizonsantos3319]

Great video, could your elaborate more on the results on the suspension set up? Are you getting better turn in or less understeer for example? Compared to stock how does the body roll and weight transfer compare to your current set up? I really like the mods and how the car looks.

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

The sway bars front and rear are pretty well balanced for less understeer compared to stock. Body roll is controlled. The coilovers really changed the drive. The car reacts much quicker than the stock suspension due to the dampening and stuffer springs. I'd you have stock suspension just a rear 22mm will be a drastic yet good change.

[@speedmaster1675]

How much power and torque gain on that set up?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

With a light tune, intake, power blocks and driveline upgrades, I'd say a conservative 5% Maybe 125whp 140+WTQ using torque pro app (not a real dyno)

[@bjgobble9350]

Can I get the links for the sway bars?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

Look up "2008+ WRX Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar" direct fit. SuperPro, Cusco also make rear sway (antiroll, stabilizer) bars not to mention a few more. Pick your best price. Cheers

[@mmaannnyy]

You think you can link the oem rain guards and where do you think i can find a sti spoiler?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

I added the OEM rain guards parts number in another comment. I assume you know how to find the best price using google shopping or ebay. As for the STI spoiler. I heard they are quite difficult to get as dealers are holding on to them for warranty work. Good luck!

[@mmaannnyy]

@@JasonLeung-4roller thanks and do you get most of your car parts from google shopping and ebay?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

@@mmaannnyy yes most. Different stores will show up with prices and shipping, I usually have the part number after doing research. This site you can find all the impreza accessories www.cars101.com/subaru/impreza/impreza2016.html (check earlier years 2012). Ebay for certain things, Subaru parts stores (many online) for OEM parts. Then tuner/aftermarket stores for aftermarket parts. Facebook marketplace is also good for finding stuff too. Good luck!

[@dudechunky]

When you install the pitch stop mount, did you get a noise change? I just installed mines and during start up, the crank sound is more louder inside the cabin

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

Yes. Noticably louder on start up. And somewhat when reving the engine out and higher RPMs. NVH wil undoubtedly suffer. What is the aim of your build?

[@dudechunky]

@@JasonLeung-4roller wow fast reply, thx, thought I broke my car lol Don't really have a goal in my build, just messing with the car with common mods so it's easy for me to do I did these so far: Nameless straight pipe Crawford intake manifold spacer Perrin pitch stop mount Bought Rims from an old wrx to replace my base model hub cap rims (still needs to cleaned and painted before installing, just want to see if I can garage paint rims) Broke my genesis so I just got a cheap car to play with until Elon feels like releasing the cyber truck so I can get it

[@dudechunky]

@@JasonLeung-4roller thinking of getting a cold air intake, not sure yet though

[@Nightowl82]

Where did you get your intake pipe?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

This intake pipe is from Takeda. It comes from the 2.5 legacy 2010. I bought an entire kit with a cone filter and air box assembly. However I found through testing that the cone filter doesn't pull as much air as the aftermarket panel filter. I retrofitted the intake kit pipe to the stock airbox. You may be able to purchase the pipe and silicone hose bits a la carte via Takeda directly. Kit number TR-4303P for reference. If you can find the parts list then your gold.

[@Nightowl82]

@@JasonLeung-4roller what kind of testing did you do To be able to tell the difference? Was there a noticeable sound change between the two also?

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

@@Nightowl82 I have recorded MAF, mass air flow, rate using a OBDii Bluetooth reader and Torque Pro android app. I can read how grammes per second the intake is pulling in. I went from 106g/s to 108 (witj a filter) to 112.9 g/s (filter and intake pipe and breathers) . Each 1g/s is about 1.25 BHP that's about 8 (engine HP) gain potentially under perfect conditions. But take that with a grain of salt. Heat, humidity, gas quality, moisture, altitude and other factors can reduce that significantly. As for sound. I went from the OEM setup to this intake pipe. At full engine load you can hear the engine more. The OEM intake is made from silicone coupled with a baffle and accordion all which absorb sound. Replacing the pipe with a thin stainless metal pipe increased the noise.

[@Nightowl82]

@@JasonLeung-4roller after you cut off the maf sensor how much of the stock box pipe was left to put of that rubber elbow? Doesnt seem like there would we enough to keep it sealed. What did you use to cut it?

[@yungFTP]

damnnnnn , ur car is sexy asf bro tryna get my 19 impreza like urs 🙏🙏

[@mart182003]

I think you just need better wheels, overall looks good to me.

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

Looks wise they are fantastic. I would agree. To me they just look like a flashier limited wheel. However, the construction and weight of these STI enkeis provide good strength vs weight compared to anything stock or aftermarket. I do want to go wider and with less offset , but for now they are a good performance compromise since I got them for such a good price. It's OEM+ so can't complain.

[@neiltimbreza6133]

copying your build except for the coilover and cai 😂👌🏽..nice video dude!

[@marksphotoperry356]

You began your mod with some useless mods ! Get Manual transmission if will driving the car

[@JasonLeung-4roller]

It looks like the car still drives with the CVT 🤔 Albeit in manual mode. I take it all the mods are useless without a manual transmission. I'd invite you to checkout some of my other videos and my tuning site before passing judgment: 4roller.github.io/subaru-impreza-tuner/ HMU if you still think it's all useless.
