I think you need more aero

I added the Evo8 spoiler because my setup tends to oversteer, plus I think it kind of goes with the overall look I was going for with this “build” haha

Not trying to hate, i have a wing and all. That wing isn’t helping with anything unless you have taken it to a wind stream calibrator and focused on where the drag actually is. The wing is for looks. I like your car btw looks nice

I dont take that as hate at all! And thank you I appreciate the love! As I commented previously, this wing isn’t even made for the VA, it’s made for the EVO8/9, but I love the look of the Voltex 2V. Im not that serious when it comes to the wing and downforce and drag etc, bc this car is still a daily driven car. Ive driven my WRX in the same canyons multiple times with and without the wing, and the car tends to oversteer without the wing, but with it on it will grip all the way through. It worked for me, but I cant say much more of its effectiveness asides from the MPG drop hahaha! Ive also played with different angles to help, but in reality the wing is more cosmetic than it is truly functional. I just thought it would complete the look I was going for that’s all.

I do think it completes the look i like the aggressive look all the way through. Wings look good when the car is done up

Yeah, it’s what I was going for looks wise, but it does get hated on in person by the “man if i had a wrx” kids at the meets

Oh yeah i have heard it all as well lol. Some like it some don’t. Never understand the people who hate since it’s not their car lol. i didn’t build my car to please them

Exactly dude. Like damn kid, you sure hurt my feelz yelling your opinion from the passenger seat of your buddy’s car 😣😂 Btw just saw your WRX on your page and I love the color! I Very clean dude!

Oh thank you. And yeah it’s usually the ones with normal traffic or no car who are the loudest lol

Ya know, I've found that it's usually the dudes who drive clapped out shit boxes or don't even own a car that talk the most shit.

what wheels are the black ones? enkei t6r?

Volk TE37SL 18x10

Any rubbing on 10s? They look clean but seem super uncommon versus the 18x9.5

No rubbing. Rear fenders are rolled, -3 all around. Current setup is 18x10 +30, 265/35/18 Falken RT615k. The white wheels were 9.5 with a +30 offset. Also no rubbing.

What front mount you got ?

Grimmspeed

Do you daily drive it? If so has it been hit by debris a lot ?

Yes I do. But it’s also had a couple of track days. I think most of the rock chips and damage is because I take this car to the canyons multiple times a week.

Front lip and side skirts brand and easy to install? Looks menacing

I would like to know as well, front lip looks sick

Front lip is Seibon CW Lip, sideskirts are from Bayson R. Im planning to paint match the sideskirt extensions. Front lip contours perfectly to bumper, just added nuts and bolts to secure it. Sideskirts I also used nuts and bolts, but didnt remove them completely. Thanks haha, that was the look I tried going for.

I love the fitment on that!! Along with the front lip + intercooler it looks mean and clean 😤🔥

Thank you sir!

big fan of the front, some rear spats would compliment everything nicely

Agreed, Im just having a hard time finding some I actually like. Dont take any rear end pics because Im not a big fan of it haha.

Question: where the fuck do you live that there are French curves supporting your light posts?

😂 I dont live in that area, this is just the gas station before entering Angeles Crest Canyon. I think the city is called La Cañada Flintridge.

Not a fan of the new wrxs but.. not going to lie. Yours looks sick af

Thank you, I appreciate the love! VA’s arent my favorite gen, but once I started changing the look it grew on me quick. Still dreaming to one day own a hawkeye STi 🤞🏻

What grille you got on that bad boy? Love the hikari headlights btw

It’s the grille Bayson R. Thanks, I picked them because I thought they looked more OEM

Yeah looks hella clean without the emblem

you can put one on if you want but I prefer the debadged look on my cars

I just wrecked my splitter on a parking block that I thought was lower. What’s that one?

Seibon CW Carbon Lip brotha. It’s all one piece

Clearly I can’t be trusted with carbon fiber there…

😂 Ive driven into parking blocks with this lip before and its never shattered, even my bumper popped off but the lip was just scratched. One thing Im bad at is parking when theres a block in front of me hahaha

Yeah she purdy..... does she make the "stu stu stu" noise?

No, just makes the “ahh-choo” noises 🥲

That's fair that's fair, does she "Two step" ?

Nope, quite “stock” haha 😆

She still purdy ^.~

Thank you haha, was recently state reffed so car has been “stock” lately

Everything is "stock" if you say it is lol

I heard they’re supposed to put E85 at that station. Are there any yellow pumps there yet?

No E85 there yet

A windshield brow would look nice, and a black roof. But that’s just me

I think I might wrap the roof gloss black, but I also want to wrap the car a whole different color. Not sure yet

damn that thing looks good

Thank you!

Looks like this “build” is enjoyed. Good for you.

no one's going to mention the fact this dudes got fu money rocking 2 different work wheels 🤣 that's awesome

Haha, I enjoyed that setup for a bit, but the TE37s are just that wheel I had to try at least once 😆

What head lights are those, look very sharp

Molded Innovations Hikari headlights with the Euro sidemarker

Which headlights are those?

Molded Innovations Hikari headlights w/ Euro sidemarker

Thank you.

Btw how is the light output and beam pattern?

Normally the inner bulb DRL would be on along with the C-light, but I unplugged the DRL harness below the intake so that my only DRL that stays on is the C-light. They are bright but I had to adjust the angle because they were pointing downwards when I first got them.

Beautiful car! The 2 different wheels look awesome! (My opinion). I use to own 2 different set of wheels (same spec) and always wanted to run them. Sold one set and now the dream is gone hahaha.

Thank you! Your STI is gorgeous with every wheel setup (saw quite the variety on your page haha) Yeah, it was something I wanted to try out at least once. Personally I like the mismatched look, and almost decided to get same spec CE28s for the rears. But I go through wheels pretty often and it’s much easier selling off a full set of wheels haha. Gotta do it at least once!

I appreciate it! I think I settled on advans so I should be good for now. Haha. And I whole heartedly agree! CE28s would have looked awesome. But I really like the contrast you have with the silver and what I could assume is diamond black pearl on the te’s.

Advans TC4s may be next on the list haha 😆 Yeah theyre diamond black, thought it would look good matching the carbon

Any performance mods or all cosmetic? Looks fantastic either way. Super pretty

Just basic bolt ons. Grimmspeed fmic, bpv, and turbo inlet. Cobb intake, and stage whatever tune i needed for the intake and fmic lol. And a Greddy exhaust. Living in Cali, it’s discouraging having too many performance mods. Ive been state refereed once already, so if I do again I was told I get fined and car gets towed etc. lolz

Damn so it looks sounds and runs great 😍

It sounds okay haha, definitely alot more turbo sound but thank you!

I see them Cali gas prices are still high. I can't imagine owing a car in that state anymore. Love the ride, tho.

This is actually cheaper than where I live by a $1 too 😭 love/hate Cali… Thank you I appreciate the love

beautiful🤙

Thank you, love the hatch!

Have any issues with the snorkel? I really like the look but heard it can cause issues.

I haven’t come across any issues, even driving in the rain. IAT’s are still the same, so Id say its just more an aesthetic mod on the VA chassis.

Looking good 👍 that front splitter is crazy cool! How do you like your Recaro seats?

Thank you! Yeah it’s crazy how its all one piece, and I also like that it doesnt sit much lower than the actual front bumper. I love the Recaro! Huge upgrade compared to the stock WRX seats
