M141519873 About a year ago I got the bug to do something really different for the new 2015+ WRX. With the FRS/BRZ being well established in the aftermarket world, some really well thought out supercharger kits had started emerging. This got me thinking about adding a supercharger on my WRX! Its th...

So how does a SEMA car come together? The first thing is coming up with a design for the car, then trying to execute the idea so the car comes out the way you had envisioned it. Execution is the tough part because it involves many people and other companies suppling part. Add to that, most all the p...

A good friend of mine Chris Miller called me a few weekends back and said he had an opportunity to play with a really cool Sony F3 35mm HD video camera. This is one of those $20,000 cameras used in the film industry to make full length fe...

So I was looking at the used ads for a wile without telling any one, then I saw...

Project 15K started life as a $10K 2002 WRX we purchased to show people how you can get great power from the older 2.0L cars. The project car was purchased with a lot of miles, but also a few mods already done. The Blaze yellow WRX had a catback exhaust, catless downpipe, huge diameter uppipe (hug...

The Story Well as many of you have seen, not all of the ALTA crew and vehicles made it to the Dragon Event. We had some issues with our new GM 4500 truck. Cruising along down I84 at about 10pm it broke down. We were about 100 miles from Salt Lake City, and got towed by an awesome tow truck driver...

We were the first to dyno the 08 STI, we were the first to bring you intimate pics of the car, and we were the first to tune the AccessPORT on the STI! In stage 1 form (bone stock car), with some initial testing we did, we got great gains! We saw roughly 40ft-lbs and 35WHP with nothing other than ...

Now that Project $15k has a healthy dose of power it's time to put some focus on the suspension and brakes. Starting with a car that has 110k miles on it probably means it has the original struts holding things together but not playing a big part in the suspension game any more. We found this to be...

Selection Process and Cleaning Not too long ago we where talking about the older WRX's and how inexpensive they are getting in the used car market. So after some discussions we thought it would be fun to find a good example and build it on a budget (about $15k including the car). What we expect in t...

Besides building a fast and cool looking 2008 WRX, we had a goal to showcase a turbo that I think should be the most popular for the normal guy thinking of a turbo kit for his 2.5L Turbo motor. The GT3071R! This turbo gets overlooked quite often. It easily makes 350WHP on an STI, and on race fuel...

It€™s a love hate relationship with any new model of car that comes out. You either love it, or hate it, but eventually it grows on you. I personally love the hatchback look from the side, and front, but the back is a little scary. But a few simple things can fix that. Getting rid of the chrome ...

First let's start with the car. I am not going to get into the stats of the car in stock form. Its by no means is it the fastest car, or the highest G load car, but it does everything pretty well, especially handling and feel. I have owned it for almost 2 years now and has been up for sale 2 times...
