Figured it's about time I updated the front page of this to better reflect where my car is and where it came from.
I picked up my 2002 WRX back in Ontario in the spring of 2013, after dreaming of owning a WRB Bugeye since I first saw one when I was 16 at the Toronto International Autoshow.
I found the car through a friend of a friend who was a tech and owned the car for about 4 years before he decided to sell it. The first time I saw the car, I fell in love with it. This was the first picture I took of it when I went for my test drive.
After driving it, I decided to pull the trigger on it and picked it up a week later.
The car was fairly stock when I bought it, just had some basic upgrades (TEIN coilovers, Rota Boost wheels, Borla Catback, Swaybar endlinks, and a aftermarket stereo)
I vowed to my self that with this car, I was going to build it right and with only quality parts along the way. It's been almost 3 years in so far, and I've stuck true to my vow.
The car has gone through some big changes over the last few years, but there's still more on the horizon. 2016 is going to be a big year for the car.
