    First non warranty voiding mods (IMHO)
    1. Suspension
    2.tint
    3. Wheels
    4. Front lip
    5. Cat back

      Ultimate Warrior I’m in the same boat. Only “non warranty voiding” mod I still want is HT Autos flares but I’m scared to cut my car. Specifically the rear quarter panels. I could buy new fronts but once you cut the rears, there’s no going back lol.

    Another great video! I finally got my first real performance mods installed over the weekend, the Perrin front strut bar, rear 25mm sway bar, and spherical endlinks. The day after, I went for a drive on one of my favorite roads, and all I can say is WOW, the cornering is night and day different. It eats curves for breakfast now. If anyone is considering these, I HIGHLY recommend them.

    Late to the party, but I love your explanation on why getting an etune/protune is so important and that the OTS maps are short term! There are a lot of people in my area modding Subaru's but just running OTS maps and I keep stressing to them how important it is to get a proper tune done before any damage can be done. I hope if anyone can take something away from this video its the importance of tuning

    My personal opinion is the short shifter from the factory is worth it. I test drove a 2023 wrx premium, with the Sti shifter from factory and the gear box was tight. No shifter shake, no slip, every gear was easily found unlike some other manual cars I’ve owned. I’m going to be taking a 2023 wrx limited they have coming in. I was going to wait to order the TR, but for $48k msrp as rumored, I just don’t see the benefit. I can add Sti brakes to the 2023 limited, im most likely going to add lowering springs as I want it to be daily driveable and I don’t need recaro seats as the stock Subaru seats are pretty on point. Also to note, you move up to 19” wheels over the 18”. I’d rather have 18” wheels as their are more people who stock an 18 over a 19”.
    The tr comes with the same engine,
    Brembo brakes
    Tuned springs
    Recaro seats
    Some alcantara on the dash
    No sunroof
    19” wheels
    All this for $48k, I can literally do all that for less and have every being I want

    Hey man, love the content. keep up the good work.
    I do have a question for you though...
    I purchased my first WRX about a year ago (2011 WRX limited sedan in PBP). The car came with an invidia catted downpipe, invidia n1 single exit exhaust, Cobb Accessport, SF airbox and Cobb short shifter and it is running the Stage 2+ OTS tune. The car now has 159000km on it and I feel it needs some love to bring it back to life....
    I plan to get a Protune and AOS soon and I understand it's about the time to do the timing belt/water pump but... What modifications/upgrades can I do to improve the drivability of the car? The car is rust free which is quite a find for where I'm from (Canada) and I plan on keeping it for years to come as year-round DD (it will be winter driven).
    I'm thinking more in the realm of reliability as it will be a daily driver. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    also if any commenter sees this id love you hear your suggestions as well

    Smeedia great content dude, but I have to agree/disagree on your 4th item especially if you are new to owning a Subaru and/or stick shift. I AGREE that a short shifter should be one of the top mods you do but I DISAGREE that it should be one of the first. I feel you should drive at least 20k on the stock shifter and then do the upgrade so you can really feel what improved. Of course doing it early is not going to hurt anything but you'll never know how good it improved the feel over stock. Keep up the great work, I'm so glad I discovered your channel.

    17 Sti. I was previously pro tuned w/ downpipe, muffler deletes and intake. Looking to get pro tuned again soon newest mod I’ve added is a catback r400 making my DAM drop very slightly around .983 otherwise is running strong. What else should I add to my list... EBCS, AOS, turbo inlet, ditching my bigsf intake for the new redline. Idk what else I’m willing to spend more but not break the bank lol maybe go TMIC/FMIC🤷🏻‍♂️ bite the bullet on lines, injectors, rails, regulator

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your DAM is most likely dropping for thr intake/Downpipe combo. Even on a protune the car cannot get enough fuel to support both while still operating at normal boost levels. I would highly highly suggest the Injectors, pump, FPR and AOS

    The Cobb Stage 2 off the shelf map made my 2004 STi run like crap. It actually made less power on the dyno than Stage 1. After 6 dyno pulls, my tuner managed to get the car to run smoothly. It made 262 AWHP and 293 AWTQ on 91 California pump gas. Modifications were Titek catted DP, walbro 255 fuel pump, APS 65mm CAI and the tune.

I've got a F20 FXT with three different mapping buttons, can I have a tune for each one? E.g. The standard one would be very efficient and the other two would be more aggressive. Can we tune to have the Miller cycle? Do any of these mods hurt efficiency? Doing the exhaust should drop a significant amount of weight relative to stock.

    • @Smeedia

      Over boosting happens when there is too much exhaust gas trying to fit through the IWG, a boost controller won't help boost creep but will give the tuner more control over boost.

      I've used the Crawford V3 in the past and worked great! Awesome AOS 🙌

    I have the oem short shifter on my 2018 wrx and it definitely is better than the stock throws but I don’t see the difference between after market and oem for this mod

      Thr after market ones will give a Much shorter feel. Ive used thr OEM ones in previous cars and always swap them out for after market ones. The difference in throw is night and day

      Smeedia dang ok I also have a weighted shift knob so throws aren’t that hard anyway but I’ll check it out

    I've got a 19' STI only mod a bolt-on catback exhaust. Very fun to drive my next mod a IAG AOS.

    Would you suggest a 2018 crosstrek to do a short shifter!? The shifting feeling of mine is not quite smooth.

      A short shifter would feel better, not sure if anyone makes them for the croastrek 🙏

    Why did you choose Surgeline tuning vs other shops? I am in the Portland area and in the market for a forged build and tune.

      Surgeline used to be owned by cobb, but bsck in like 2016 they became an independent shop, i had already have surgeline tune my older 07 STI so wanted them to do my current STI as well and they just did an awesome job so kept gling back there 🙏
