This client came to us with a pretty much stock 04 STI and wanted to become a little more competitive in his weekend auto crossing as well as wanting a overall better performing car to drive on a day to day basis as well. We started off with a solid suspension set up and added a little power and in no time this car was a blast to drive on a daily basis as well as at the weekend autocross.

Over all the car performs really well and is a excellent daily driver. The suspension is responsive and handles extremely well without being overly aggressive to drive every day. For a basic stage 2 power package the car performs really well and the numbers are very respectable given the modifications to the engine.
