Janelle's WRX Mods
In November '07 I decided to trade in my black '07 Impreza for a pearl white '07 WRX and I've now decided that it needs to be faster so I can eventually beat some Evo's and STI's!!!

The old, ugly, dirty, engine bay:


SPT heatshield going in:


New SPT short-ram intake with heatshield going in:


Christopher putting in the intake:


Getting everything tightened up:


Pink STI replica strut bar (Installed the night before the Spring 2008 Cruise:


The completed, cleaned engine bay: Strut bar and Intake!!


Ta-da:


And Christopher (aka: Kracka) getting me all ready for the Spring Cruise:


P.S. Scheides- show Anna my strut bar, she never saw it this weekend

Thats hot!!! I can't wait to get the STI TMIC, TBE exhaust, and tune done; this car will be a [stock] STI and Evo killing machine!

Re: WRX Mods
I don't plan on getting new turbo anytime soon. In a year or so I might get the STI turbo, but I think an exhaust and a tune will be sufficient for the summer =)

Glad to hear Anna likes my color choice! lol

Taking off the plastic covers really makes the engine look a lot nicer.

Yeah from what I understand its the 3rd gear that is the real weak point. Thats another reason she probably won't be going with a larger turbo anytime soon.

Re: WRX Mods
Very nice, Janelle! Tell Chris to keep his mitts off your car, he has one of his own.
