New daily driver: 2004 WRX

Skip the Accessport and use OpenECU/ECUFlash like most of us Evo guys do. Janelle's WRX will actually be ECUFlash dyno-tuned once we get her new downpipe on.

I was actually thinking of finding a used downpipe on MNSubaru, and also maybe an used unmarried v2 accessport, just so I could do it all myself.

All this shit is only going to happen if I have the money though. Hopefully the G.I Bill will go up some more for fall semester.

Well, I did my first free mods to the WRX.

1. Took out the intake silencer, aka "snorkus"

I can really hear the turbo spool real loud now, as well as made the catback a little louder it seems.

2. Deleted the Subaru badge/pillar in the grille

I really like the way this looks compared to stock.

I want to clear out the headlight housings next and paint them black, as well as bebadge the trunk lid.
