short shifter.

Every time you drive you appreciate it. I have just been driving another 8 without one and it made me realise how much I like it!

Yeah, they did. It literally felt like night & day. Before my brake pedal went all the way to the floor to get the full braking. Now it is much more sure. When I apply the brakes even pushing it down halfway gives a better feel. Much better modulation

Ooooor... if your cars paid off... it could be time to go say hi to a subaru dealership (STi time!) just remember... sounds like you've been around the block with your car... from NA to FI and back? and your falling out of love? Nothing wrong with upgrading...

^ and heavy/bulky

My favorite mod is a MS CAI, just because of the sound it makes under full throttle. Plus its cheap and fun to install.

wait for the RB Header probably will be a moderate amount of performance but the sound combined with your midpipe will probably entertain for a while....

I would have to say my Trust Ti exhaust . Maybe it does not give me a lot of extra power but it sure sounds like it does . It really enhances the sports car feel of the 8 to be able to hear your rotary scream its lungs out .

OH - and i have the lw flywheel , short shifter , pulley, ecu piggyback and lots of other stuff but the exhaust is what does it for me

I have to lol that coils caused your housing to fail mysql. And didn't you encounter the problems when you were using an ap? So why is it also the int x fault too?

There are some serious bhr mm fan boys.

All of our mods are my favorite mods. They're all great.
For example, RotaryGod for his rotary knowledge.
Elara for her pink Darth Vader avatar.
And abbid for his hilarious comments.

I like my little bolt-ons all the same. Typhoon intake for a nice throaty sound, Springs for a stiffer steering, and midpipe for a little more power and some cool flames Well worth $500 and a couple hours of time.

I like almost all my mods

Each mod I get is my favorite till I get used to it, for example the Short Shifter is great and feels unique for about 2 weeks and then it becomes the new normal. Same with the SS brake lines, RB exhaust note, RP supercat, RB intake sounds, sways.

Non performance mods really make it an enjoyable ride. I really like the look and feel of the Voodoo **** w laser engraving from Knobmiester, custom interior lights look cool at night and don't blind me with the door and front interior lights being red LED with the red factory floor lights. The stereo sucks without super tweeters and Basslink Sub. Window tints really help night vision by shading all those headlight beams of others.

If I were starting over, those are all things I would want right away. Probably sways first for no brake cornering. Then Supercat & catback

I have been wanting to go FI for a long time but need it as a daily driver and cannot justify reliability concerns, cost, voided engine warranty, and spousal wrath just yet for the turbo plunge. So prob get a COBB soon.
