Car Description:
So it all started with buying a 97 obs 5speed with a blown motor for $500 from a good friend. Swapped that motor with a jdm ej20 blew that up swapped in another 2.2 blew that up & now currently running a 2.5 from a forester. In the mean time building a H6 swap for the OBS so it will be 6 cylinder for 2023 subiefest. I have had the car for 5 years now I used to daily drive it but now it's painted so its my show car. I've bought several jdm parts that I've collected throughout the years the car has all jdm interior from a gf8 in Japan. I made some retrofitted custom headlights with projectors and the new C-light that comes from the VA subaru chassis. Car has a Prodrive P1 front lip, RS sides skirts, rear jdm spats with aeroguards, exhaust is 3in fujitsubo Jasma exhaust suspension is tien springs on kyb struts. Wrx rear sway bar Cobb short through shifter, and alot more goodies. I choose the color yellow since it's my favorite color, color code 12g PORSCHE speed Yellow, expensive paint car is inside & outside painted besides engine bay due to the H6 swap will be painted metallic purple. I support the Cali SUBIEWERKS lifestyle so I represent there Banner on my front windshield. car has Sti top wing & wrx mid wing from a gf8. Wheels are prodrive P1, front and rear 4 pot 2 pot upgraded calipers. Jdm front grill with (i) impreza badge.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing some stuff but it's been a great project still going & can't wait to show SUBARU the love I have for these precious cars. Keeping the 1st gen chassis alive. Thank you for letting me be apart of this beautiful event.
