Project 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX
Chapter 1: Humble Beginnings
A quick backstory on the car. Subaru released the new Impreza line in 2008. The WRX in particular came with a turbo-charged 2.5 liter 225 hp engine. To stay in line with it's competition, the WRX was slated to be revised for 2010 with more power and agressive styling cues inspired from the WRX STI. It wasn't long until the 2009 Impreza WRX came into show rooms boasting a plethora of these chages. Cue the outrage of 2008 owners...
The choice to go with two hatchbacks was quite simple. To accomodate our family. The build as a whole involves the two vehicles pictured above (2009 WRX left, 2009 ImprezaGT right), but only the WRX will be chronicled in the following pages. More pictures will be added along the way. There are still plenty of pictures to go through and organize at the moment. But while you're here, enjoy the content and please rate the car :-D
