Was there any unusual circumstances around how you acquired your car?
Owned a 2005 Subaru sti and fully built it. Had to sell to buy a house. Decided to buy another one 2 years ago and build again.
Was there more work on your car than you anticipated? Did you find a bucket of wiring worms, find some secret hidden problems…..
No only issue from first purchase was previous owner blew out the clutch.
Are there any unique mods on your car? Hyper-rare parts, custom made parts…
No rare parts. Just a lot of carbon and mods to try and make the car clean as possible.
Would you consider your car done in its current form? Or do you have a list of “to dos” still left?
No. Been building cars for over 20+ years a build is never done.
What is the biggest problem you ran into on your build?
Not having all the money to do what I want ASAP
If you had to do it again, would you build the same car?
Definitely would might go in another direction next time but love Subarus.
Are you apart of a club or crew with your car?
The club I’m in is Team Elevate and the builds in the club and any from shows always influence me in one way or another. Love seeing other peoples builds and creativity.
s there any part/mod on your car you had to do a few times, or installed and then removed?
Not really only thing I keep switching is wheels. I’m never satisfied.
