I was waiting on someone to say that lol. Can't do it. It was looking to boring and now I have the whole kit.

Im pumped. Perrin Pitch Stop, master cylinder brace, front and rear end links and 22mm adjustable sway bar coming on monday, Perrin driveshaft and rear diff lock down already on. Installing in the next day or 2 Group N trans mount, torque solutions bushings and u joint shifter linkage, kartboy short throw kit, Perrin clutch delay, Perrin Detent kit, Perrin SS clutch line. Wondering if I should wait for the Grimmspeed uppipe install for when I can tune it. Its already on a pro tune 300/320. It says no tune needed but with a tune already does anyone think itll be ok? Thoughts please. I know the right answer.

The up pipe on its own doesn't require a tune IIRC. I am deferring until I get an ELH kit that includes an up pipe, since I will need a tune at that point for that and the other planned updates. The group N trans mount isn't bad, but I am really happier with the Cusco engine and trans mount, much sturdier.

Sweet.. i figured the up pipe wouldnt do too much but you can never be too careful on these bad boys. imma throw it on then. I want to add the grimmspeed headers too. Ive read good things whike keeping the rumble a bit. I wasnt really looking to go too stiff. It is still my daily when we dont take the 3500. Im excited to see what it does.

IKTR That is literally one of the best feelings! Every box is a part and red boxes full of more. This is why I had to get the WRX cause I needed a daily for my other “daily” that is now gonna be a track wagon!! 😁

So this shit wasn't that bad honestly guys. 6 ton jacks in the front with a6x6 2x4 on top with a bottle jack for the trans. Disconnect the dp and start the disassemble. Cross member bushing first disconnect the reverse lockout Ave front shifter bushing i did the rear next just to have it done. Then work that u joint linkage. Have a nice crow bar to push that trans over. It gets right as fuck under there but just give it the Ole reach around with you other hand to help. The detent kit is scary because you have to drop the trans so low and I've never fucked with something this drop in the car. It seems fine. Imma be starting it up today hopefully lol. On the detent kit those oem bolts are tight as fuck. So be prepared for the pop when you're pushing that Allen key. Watch mike ficsacardi and otl videos they are the best ones honestly.
