Volkswagen MK1 Scirocco In the words of Ozzy… “Mama I’m Coming Home!” Joey laying out some boards to make the transition to the ramp easier (the car was too low). Jumping on the internet bandwagon with Bernie doing the assist. Joey took lots of pictures during the build. I will share after I get the...

Invidia Q300 cat back exhaust (model number INVHS08SW4GT3) from www.rallysportdirect.com/ for the 2009 Subaru WRX. Unpacking to check out the construction.

I think the quality is top notch. We are using the exact same camber plates as what we used on...

Rack is back in and mounted to the subframe. Next step is to install the four bolts... one of the 14mm x 1.5 bolts did not seem correct so I want to chase the holes first. Got me thinking... they are TTY bolts on subframe and steering rack. Decided not to cut any corners and ordered all new bolts. S...

At 6:31, upon opening my tool chest drawer to retrieve a tool, I realized that this is going to take me a while to get R...
