Bumpsteer is worth doing. A full geometry check is a must regardless as JDM 22B's are notorious for being poorly setup 'off the boat'
My mods - colourless front indicators and side repeaters, rear wing set to 'downforce/no rear visibility mode', big brakes, APRacing clutch, new engine at 7,500 miles... oops

Chuck - Why did you need a new engine at 7,500 miles??

Do it mate!!

they are a beautiful car in standard form.. but with a few tweaks they can be stunning to drive.

just get ready for some "interesting" comments from people that don't realise that it's OK to draw a moustache on the Mona Lisa....... as long as you use washable crayon!

give us a bell.. me, you and Adam can form a "support" group LOL!

cheers

Disco,

I remember when we chatted about 2 years ago at PE, and I suggested that maybe you should go for an STI5/6 instead of modifying the WRX!!!

Personally I would say buy an STI5/6 Type R instead, and spend the difference on transfering your current engine into the new shell!

It's not possible to resist, i held back for almost a year on the RB5, and now is all going horribly right.

BTW whats your engine producing now?

If you have a leaning towards modding, and there aren't many who haven't with a Scoob, then you will do it and get all that satisfaction out of it.

I say do it Disco!

John, you could always do an Antonio (have a look in projects over on 22b) to the WRX or be a bit more creative and try and do something like this:

Isn't it just

It was posted on here a while back and despite me not liking body kits, that one stuck! I think it's a car built for GT racing in Japan, but I haven't been able to find anything else out about it

Originally I thought it would be the perfect answer for Pat's EZ3.3 project...

I'm another modified 22b owner, but I stopped making mods quite early on.

I went for the adjustable LEDAs, 6 pot APs, Scoobysport downpipe and backbox, panel filter, and left it at that.

In my opinion, that gets the car to where it should have been. The original brakes were pathetic, the suspension unsuitable for Scottish roads, and the exhaust strangled the engine.

It's up for sale now too, although I've seen a few up for sale for quite some time, so not sure how quickly it will go.
