Follow the journey of Dirty Racing Products' 2022 Subaru WRX build, where we pushed the limits of performance and engineering. From upgrades in suspension, tuning, and turbo to racing on the track, this blog dives into every detail of the process. Learn about the parts we used, the challenges we faced, and how we turned this WRX into a true racing beast. Whether you're a Subaru enthusiast or a performance junkie, get inspired by our race-winning build.
We're at it again...doing things the only way we know how...the right way...follow us as we push the car to the limits and test how far we can go!
We changed over to the Racecomp Tarmac 2 Clubsport Coilovers 2022+ WRX and they have been perfect, track time drastically improved with them, and they also perform well on the street without being uncomfortable.
The factory brakes are probably the worst part of this car, the factory pads have lasted us 1 track day, and there were no replacement pads available. So beyond the obvious performance advantages to a proper brake kit, having availability of parts, and parts that will last longer then 1 day will be a huge advantage thanks to Essex Parts & KNS Brakes
Nine lives racing has been leading the way in the grassroots, affordable yet functional aero department for the last few years, reaching out to them to develop a functional kit for this car was a no brainer, and they jumped right onboard and have made this happen rather quickly
You know we couldn't wait to see what this could do when tuned/ MoTeC is always the answer to set these cars up properly. Being able to work directly with MoTeC USA to develop this platform has been a game changer for everyone wanting to compete with this car.
One of our favorite mods for any Subaru has always been a carbon driveshaft...Not only are they considerably lighter then OEM, allowing for better acceleration, but they remove all of the "slop" in the drivetrain that comes from the 2 piece driveshaft design Subaru uses.
Honestly the factory shifter was a close second to the brakes for the worst part of the car.. 3-4-5 were very vague.. often resulting in the incorrect gear being selected, the shifter package from Billetworkz solved all of these problems
Beyond the obvious appearance upgrade, they are also a considerable weight savings and allow for a much more aggressive tire selection.

For our exhaust, we took a Tomei Ti Catback that normally fits a WRX Sedan 2008+ / STI Sedan 2011+, and customized it to work for our 2022
It was time to upgrade to an intercooler that is designed specifically for the 2022+ WRX with performance in mind.
Significantly lowers back pressure for maximum flow and performance. Throaty exhaust note. Hand built in the USA. Designed To Perform! What's not to love?
Who doesn't want something easy to install? Just bolt this on and notice immediate performance gains!

We wanted a new and different look for the front, so changed it out.
