Build Feature🔥

Today’s In-depth featured ride is an amazing Subaru STI @blackprojectsti 🖤‼️🖤‼️

1) how long have you owned the car “About 5.5 years, it’s a 2011 WRX STI hatch, I bought it in 2015 after I sold my 2004 WRB STI. I miss it sometimes but it was time to let it go and move onto something else!” 2) what’s your next mod “I’m in a transition period. The car is fully built and setup for solid power, I’m enjoying it for what it is at the moment. To narrow it down adding Flex Fuel to run e85 is the main goal. Aiming for around 550-600whp that’s the sweet spot for my setup. I have plans for a rotated setup, flares and wider wheels, seats, roll cage etc. I have been putting off frontend aero (splitter, canards, etc) for awhile because I send it year round in North NJ and that’s risky business without bags, but I might just do it anyway soon…I’m not even close to done with the car yet!”

3) what’s your favorite angle “100% it is low to the ground from the back left, it’s her “good side” I think!” 4) horsepower numbers /torque “437whp/363wtq on 93 / JR Tuned on a mustang dyno at Prime Motoring in NJ. I am still catted so numbers are a little lower than I want for 93 with the FP Black turbo but the thing rips for an intermediate setup!” 5) if you could have any car what one? “Skyline r34 or any of the older Supra’s, I’m a sucker for those!
