This is my page for my 2004 Subaru Impreza STi. I've gone from a 1970 Corvette Stingray done up as a barebones racecar to a 2007 STi (I didn't want to do a full restoration on the 'vette and sold it to a guy in Norway.) Made it halfway through my customization of the '07, and a traumatic incident involving a chunk of steel falling off the back of a semi on the Interstate put that to a quick end. With the insurance payoff, I acquired my World Rally Blue '04, and the modding process began!
