It seems like both a long time and a short time. Barely coming up on 1 year. The Vivid Racing Project WRX II did what it was suppose to do, be better then the original Vivid WRX I, get magazine coverage, and set a standard for others to copy. Project WRX II was both a car to watch, and the basta

If I had music to play while you were reading this it would be something to the effect of Rick Springfields Jesse's Girl or Queen's We are the Champion. The Perrin boys would be in the background working on the car and I would be cracking a cold beer. Oh wait, that is to much like the villa

Once again I found myself drinking and modding. This is the unsafe, hazardous habit of grabbing parts off the shelf and installing them on your car while drinking. Be careful! For some time now, we have had this Kaminari 2 piece carbon splitter on the shelf. Thinking it would only work on t

With many headers on the market, the GT Spec is the on

Fuel rails are a overlooked but extremely important add on for your fuel system. The stock rails do not distribute fuel equally and cylinder 3 tends to lean out. As you up the boost and require more fuel, that cylinder is working harder to pump the juice. To much pumping and your motor blows

Handling of our Project WRX has been significantly enhanced by the Tein coilovers and front/rear strut bars. But an important part of improving cornering is done by sway bars and adding rigidity to the under chassis. We started off by adding a JIC lower arm brace to the car. This arm brace connec

The stock engine mounts and transmission mounts are satisfactory for daily driving. One mount people generally overlook is the Pitch Stop Mount. The Pitch mount is located under the stock intercooler and looks like a dog bone. That mount connects from the firewall to the tranny case.

Vivid Racing in its ever lasting quest to have the best and most efficient car has undoubtedly upgraded one of the most important and sometimes overlooked components. The Radiator. The stock radiator is very efficient. But we all know cooling equals power. The cooler the car runs the more power
