Part XIV: Accept No Substitutes
This customer car has been an ongoing project of ours for a number of months, and has finally come to fruition. It is a purpose-built race car, with everything chosen for functionality rather than simple aesthetics. At first glance, the Ings +1 body kit, SYMS wide front fenders, and Rotora Dry Carbon spoiler plant the car on the ground lap after lap. Sticking the car to the ground are meaty Pirelli 10-inch wide slicks, wrapped around extremely light weight SSR Comps and a StopTech big brake kit. Under the hood is a plethora of power mods, consisting of a World One-spec Stage 2 shortblock, forged pistons, FP Green turbo, APS DR725 FMIC, Fujitsubo equal length header with a World One-spec external wastegate/downpipe combo, and a JIC full titanium catback, all working together in harmony thanks to a Hydra EMS standalone. In addition, a full carbon fiber driveshaft helps transmit the power to the rear wheels.
Cusco Zero2Rs along with Hotchkis sway bars provided the footing, while a Seibon carbon fiber hood, trunk lid, and front and rear doors help keep the weight down. These doors are crazy light compared to the stock ones. On the interior is a full JDM v9 Spec C RA interior, with Sparco buckets, a full Autopower roll cage, and Defi gauges. We're excited to see what kind of numbers this car tears through at the track!

Great thread Armin! I really enjoyed looking over all the cars. How is Garret doing? Last time I talked to him was at the Subaru track day in buttonwillow when he gave me a ride in "As good as it gets". I will never forget about that, that STI is badass!

Garret is doing well...he'll be down at SEMA starting Wednesday night and he'll be at this year's Time Attack in Buttonwillow the week after!
