Another update to my 2015 WRX. Got everything installed a few weeks back and it drives great. Still working out the tune with Torqued Performance, hopefully will be done soon. Once I get everything sorted out there I will probably do video on how it drives as well as how it sounds. With the CAI installed it's loud. Love the sound of the turbo spool.

I looked at Depo racing and was about to pick up the intercooler and downpipe from there. I opted not to and ordered from Import Image Racing. So far it's been going good for me. When I do install an intercooler I'll probably order from Depo though as everywhere else is expensive as hell. Currently at stage 1 on my WRX since the AP came in earlier than expected. Definitely a noticeable difference in the way the car drives. Can't wait for stage 2.

Just a small update from my 2015 wrx. Ordered all my parts and am currently waiting for shipping so I can move to stage 2. Ordered the following parts: Cobb ap, tomioka catless downpipe, perrin charge pipe, prl tgv and egr deletes, Grimmspeed CAI, Grimmspeed EBCS, Stoptech brake pads, Kartboy short shift/bearing kit, Kartboy shift lock. Also installed some Michelin Pilot Super Sports and will be switching to Motul Excess 5w40 oil. Looking forward to working on my car.

Contact Logitech, they supposedly have great customer service and will usually replace the mouse.

You could get some Micca m42x bookshelf speakers and an amp to power them. If you're looking to keep things simple you can always go with the trusty Klispch Pro-media 2.1 speakers. They are going for $150 right now on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-ProMedia-Certified-Computer-Speaker/dp/B000062VUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496673328&sr=8-1&keywords=klipsch+promedia

Had the S6 Edge+, S7 Edge and Now the S8 and I for one loved them all. The s6 edge + was a great phone and the s7 edge was about equal to that IMO. Now the S8 just seems better than both of them. I can see where the size difference between the standard s6 and the s7 edge would be an issue for some. I prefer the bigger phone though, just something I got used to.

Ah, ok that explains it then. Not sure on the difference in price between the US and Romania. You could try the Hyper x clouds, but the sound quality might be a bit lower than the 518s.

Used a smsl-sd793-ii on my k712s for a while and it sounded nice. Around Christmas time I picked up a Fulla 2, and the quality is much better. Great for movies, music and gaming from what I can tell on my headphones. Would definitely recommend going with it.

The 558s are going for around $92 on Amazon right now.

Sweet, I would have had all this done now, but decided to wait until my warranty ran out before doing anything. I still don't know if I want to mess with the turbo or intercooler since I'm really just doing it for some fun driving. Don't plan on doing any racing, except the occasional highway fun of course. I'm not a fan of the braking of this car, but that's probably because I got used to my ST which I installed some hawk brakes and hawk slotted rotors.

Not really thinking on that yet. After I throw this $2k or so to go stage 2 I might go ahead and do a Cadillac brake upgrade to it. If I do then I will have to go with at least 18" wheels, or would have to modify the calipers to fit properly. That should run me about $1200 with all parts and doing the work myself, where if I bought standard Brembo brakes it would be over $3000 to do front and back. Apparently the Cadillac brakes are Brembos, and just need a few modifications to work on a WRX. As for headers, probably not at the moment. If I do anything further under the hood it would require me to change out more than I want such as fuel pump, turbo, intercooler. Edit: I'll definitely take some pictures of everything I buy and probably some pics during installation and after installation. Possibly even a video to show a before and after 0-60 as well as launch and the difference in sound.

Looking at upgrading my 2015 wrx around the beginning of July. I'm still doing more research of all the parts I'm going to buy, but I think I have a good idea on what I'm going to do. Probably looking at the following: Cobb Accessport v3 Grimmspeed CAI Grimmspeed Boost Controller Invidia catless downpipe Perrin shift stop Perrin shifter bushing Perrin short shifter adapter Invidia Q300 exhaust E-tune, not sure where I'm gonna get one done yet but I have a few options. Should be a welcome upgrade to my car. Definitely looking forward to driving it once I install everything. Should be a fun weekend doing the installation as well.
