| When asked which new WRX model he would prefer, Jacobs replied, “I would want a white sedan with tinted windows.” Jacobs, who lives in Vermont, sent us these choices for modifications and notes. |
Rezzetano’s proposed modifications also are for a WRX Sedan. He considers it “… the ultimate WRX for daily driving and having fun at the track.” Rezzetano’s choices and notes follow. |
- Group N engine, gearbox, and rear differential mounts
- VSC pitching stopper
- Hard shifter bushings
- EXEDY Stage 2 clutch
|
- Spec stage one clutch
- PERRIN rear diff cover – “Larger capacity and ability to add diff cooler.”
- Diff and trans cooler – “Both custom built.”

- Custom rear arms with bearings
- TEIN® Type HG dampers
- Note: “The roads are rough in Vermont, and I would raise the car 20mm from its standard ride height for the winter and lower it 10mm from standard for the summer.”
|
- KW V3 coil overs – “They have the most adjustability, and KW builds a decent shock that actually works.”
- PERRIN sway bars front and rear: front 25mm, rear 22mm – “They are adjustable and have the best rate. PERRIN sway bar links to go with the bars.”
- Custom-built Phoenix control arm bushings and custom camber bolts and rear camber bushings – “For correct alignment.”

 |
- Front-mount intercooler with custom aluminum piping
- VENAIR hoses
- Larger Garrett® turbocharger
- Reflashed ECU
- Custom crankcase breather tank and hoses
- Custom exhaust and hard shifter bushings
|
- COBB AccessPORT – “Need this to tune and adjust boost and get rid of check engine light for no cats.”
- Invidia catless down pipe – “Need to get rid of cats for heat issues while doing track days and autocross.”
- Invidia full exhaust behind down pipe – “Less restriction, and this exhaust isn’t ridiculously loud.”
- PERRIN top mount intercooler – “Twice the capacity and can handle more boost when turned up with the COBB AccessPORT.”
- PERRIN cold air intake – “I like this intake because the MAF housing is calibrated the same size as stock. This is key.”
- Ron Davis custom radiator with integrated engine oil cooler
