Bugeyes, blown trannys, and billowing flames: Chuck's USDM WRX

Builds
1

So I picked up this gem last March for quite a steal after trading in my 97 A4 for $900. It was completely stock except for a Pioneer headunit, dynamatted trunk, short shifter, and some ugly ass 18" Enkei donks.

Do it. You wont.

You can either build a clone for $60+k or buy one for $30-35k. Ask me what I’d do if I could do it all over again.
