Build story

I started with this car back in 2012, no plans to mod it at all but it just sort of bloomed into what it is today. I started with minor sti upgrades on it then I went to pursue a full exterior conversion to a 2004 Subaru Forester STI like in Japan. After completing the exterior modifications, I moved onto the drivetrain where I swapped in a 06 STI Spec C drive train. From the subframes to the hubs everything under my car is from the 06 STI Spec C. From there I wanted some height adjustment and since airbags were no on the market I threw a set on and have loved them ever since. The last and final part of my build is my motor which I have been working on for some time now and am very close to completing this project. All of the work on my car has been done by myself with some help from friends. I know every single part of this car as I have disassembled and put it back together multiple times. This motor build will finally put me in the 350 to 400 hp range which will make it a really fun daily and I will have a lot of joy and pride driving my car around knowing that it was 100% built by me.
