Top 5 All Time Favorite Mods to my 450whp Subaru WRX Hatchback

[@GeoKilledVersace]

Can’t wait to go fully built in August shooting for 700 to the wheel, love your build keep up the good work

[@kraashk4864]

I keep, KEEPIN'! Love this!

[@jack073]

Just got swaybars and endlinks for my STI, along with some new PS4s rubber. Can not wait to see how it handles in the spring 😀

[@octurbojoe]

Very good choices for actual drivers.

[@catzbunn]

OCTurboJoe you need a seat soon ;)

[@WhiteWingSTI]

OCTurboJoe all his go fast and still can’t touch my 20 yr old M3 laptimes that's very close to being stock! Driver mod my all-time fav mod. 😝 love ya Clint 🤗🥰😘😘haha

[@catzbunn]

White Wing STI_E36 I’ll beat you next time out. Bet you some drinks

[@octurbojoe]

@@catzbunn That's next on my list. Seats also change the way you apply inputs to steering since you aren't being thrown around, like you said.

[@WhiteWingSTI]

@@catzbunn LOL!!! Love some friendly bet! hahaha! At the Thill home track?! :D

[@kreaytorHD]

Alright love the build but when you were talking about the bunny and said “damn that guys fast” I swear I was watching the first fast and the furious race when the guy in the integra got passed up 😂

[@liaviator5343]

What’s a ballpark figure of what you’ve spent so far? Looking back what would you have changed with this build or done differently? Also, if you were to do a different car to build what would it be??

[@catzbunn]

More than what I bought the car for at 24k. I would have done all performance instead of looks first. At the moment, I’m not sure what I would have built. Id like to think an e92, nsx, or something solid right out of the lot

[@liaviator5343]

Cali WRX I know what you mean, I have an STi also and it would’ve been nice to have had a sturdier block.

[@GoogleAccount-pq8bu]

How are those tires in the canyons???

[@catzbunn]

Not bad, not great with my power / wet conditions.

[@Strakos0]

Okay, this ones will completely change your perception on driving: *1.* 2015 WRX or STi *13:1 Steering rack* direct replacement, with all the black series bushings, *2. DCCD* software-hardware *update* from Mr. Skácel, which, BY THE WAY, used Ken Block, Travis Pastrana...and Colin McRae. 5 mods, starting with fast high speed road, to curvy technical snow/ice. The infamous understeer is almost a thing of a past. This guy from Czech Republic did about 50 jobs, mostly for rally drivers, but as he stated, he does not need young and inexprienced clientela..

[@shadymonkichi]

I've been trying to figure it out but cannot seem to, and you've probably posted it, but can you provide any details about your shifter? You posted about the Cobb short shift kit and bushings, but I really like the length of the shift handle you have in this vid, plus the shift knob. Also, did you get a different shift boot so that more of the shift handle shows? I really like that look. Thanks, and keep up the great content!

[@catzbunn]

Right now I’m using the sti short throw shifter. On that is a 3” extension paired with a downwindcustoms year drop shift knob. The shift knobs are no longer made.

[@shadymonkichi]

Cali WRX Thanks! (I was wondering if you were using an extension.)

[@ajmartschinske6312]

Getting my 07 Impreza wrx rebuilt rite now finally going stage 1 engine going to put my Cobb 3 port boost controller , my Cobb sf cold air intake (already on) , cat back and Cobb lowering springs should I get the Cobb down pipe also and keep going Cobb or what? Recommendations needed

[@catzbunn]

All personal preference. Cobb does good work, but other companies do just as well

[@frutoish]

Have you ever thought about running adapters or spacers for wheels? Whats the cons?

[@catzbunn]

Most 5x114 adapters are way too thick. 20mm or 15mm.

[@WhiteWingSTI]

run longer wheels studs/adapters... you risk on mounting wheels on little treads with wheels spacers. con i could think of.

[@chasedupuis6089]

I have to replace a CV shaft, 2 wheel hubs, and oil pan on my 08 Hatch.... ;(

[@realtyronne9916]

I have a 2014 WRX STI hatch I’m thinking of getting a Stage 2+ kit from Cobb Which includes the Cobb AP V3 CAI Downpipe and Exhaust Since u emphasized on sway bars and end links I might get those And of course APR head studs

[@catzbunn]

Tyronne Esquillo get a protune. Don’t run the OTS map from the access port.

[@realtyronne9916]

I intend to do that What I meant to ask was, is the Cobb Stage 2+ a meaningful investment? V3 AP CAI Downpipe and Exhaust Pro tune after installed of course. She is my daily 😁

[@catzbunn]

Tyronne Esquillo yea that will be a good setup. Make sure to do other upgrades as well to help with your new power. Stainless steel brake lines, new pads, EBCS, and so on. Talk to your tuner for majority of motor performance mods you may need.

[@realtyronne9916]

Cali WRX Thanks Cali I’ll be sure to do so I’m really aiming for 420 to the wheels I know I will need head studs and a fmic possibly a bigger turbo I’m want it to look stock af Lol Went against an S4 the other day Damn that v8

[@quang_le]

What were those bride seats?

[@catzbunn]

Quang Le Gia low max’s carbon back

[@ShellSnell]

Curious what ebay seller you bought your 6 speed from on Ebay?

[@catzbunn]

I’m not sure off the top of my head, but they sell Subaru part outs. Brakes, interior, exterior etc.

[@D3ltal4mbda22]

Bruh you don't even know how good the STI trans swap is until you get that DCCD controller, I promise you!

[@GoogleAccount-pq8bu]

Jeremy Doss why bro

[@D3ltal4mbda22]

You gotta drive with it to truly know, but it completely changed the way the car lays down power and handles turns.

[@diegotobar6839]

I really want bucket seats.. but I also want but warmers lol

[@catzbunn]

Diego Tobar your butt will be so snug you won’t need any warmers

[@danielbedryak9555]

You should talk about only engine mods not wheel tires seats

[@catzbunn]

daniel bedryak engine mods aren’t in my “top 5 favorite mods”

[@danielbedryak9555]

@@catzbunn no i mean like make a video on your top 5 engine mods that added the most power

[@catzbunn]

daniel bedryak ah, ok. Sure

[@vansyse]

I've been saving for the six speed swap; until a few cold starts in -20F. the gasket job is gonna end up exactly what i have saved. what are the chances of that?

[@catzbunn]

Vansyse well that’s a bummer, but at least you’ll be able to save up again!

[@vansyse]

@@catzbunn yea it is.. admittedly i wasn't letting her warm up enough. learn from my mistake, don't listen to EngineeringExplained, let your car warm up to at least 120F, your gaskets will thank you.

[@catzbunn]

Vansyse I don’t boost or drive it hard until my oil temp gauge reads 140 degrees

[@Hovieg]

aye man if u ever selling those please hmu

[@Rich260z]

Best mod is track time lol

[@GoogleAccount-pq8bu]

Wash it

[@catzbunn]

Google Account come do it for me if you care that much lol. It’s supposed to rain all week, so why bother.

[@jonathanhintz4865]

My favourite mod.

[@CkDnDdvyvQlEPzS]

[@KevinEdgar]

[@catzbunn]
