Everyone Hated the VB WRX But He Made it Cool
In this episode, I’m joined by Josh aka @Further_Motion, one of the early builders who helped kick off the lifted VB WRX movement when everyone else was busy hating on the car.
We dig into why he chose a 2022 Subaru WRX, what it was like cutting into a brand new car, and how the build evolved from a daily driver into a full on safari-style experiment. Josh breaks down suspension choices, wheel and tire fitment, spacer vs spring lifts, and Crosstrek & Forester parts swaps.
We also talk about CV axle myths, drivetrain concerns, and why sometimes the smartest mod is knowing when to stop. If you’ve ever thought about lifting a VB WRX or wondered whether it’s actually practical, this episode answers a lot of real-world questions.
