2016 Subaru WRX
The Story
I bought this car new in December 2015 and it stayed stock as a fun commuter car until September 2016 when I decided to install just a simple intake and OTS tune. The car scene in Wisconsin was great and inspired me to set out with the goal of building an aggressive looking street/drag car.
The build has seen a number of revisions and is now sitting at 777whp/589ftlb on E60 when turned up. I’ve learned a lot along the way - from regular maintenance to a drivetrain swap, from learning manual to hitting the dragstrip, and much more. The friends and experiences made along the way have been the best part, and I have many to thank for their help in getting this far: TopShelf Performance, Felix Performance, Prime Motoring, JrTuned, and Andrewtech Automotive to name a few. The new setup has already set a personal best at the strip and I'm looking forward to the next best time!
