Congrats Gurs!!!
Winner of June 2013 ROTM
"Best Wagon-ish"
DHGurs' Ride:
Racecar mode
JDM yo
DD setup with 15mm spacers
EVO IX Recaros with sliders
Some of the interior goodies.
The car is a super rare "unicorn" ( :lol: ) STi SE, one of only 125 in Black and one of 500 in the country. It came with JDM Spec-C wheels, upgraded suspension, a more basic stereo, no blinker mirrors or HIDs, and was the least expensive STI hatch ever made. Car and driver called the SE the best handling STi even after driving the 2011.
Car was bought new in March of 2010 and tuned in April of 2010 @brentuning with only 900 miles on the clock. We found at this time that it was the first 2010 SE to be tuned as we had to create new definitions for the ECU (and turn off a bunch of knock sensors trololol) It's been flawless since, and was re-tuned at Kaizen's Dynojet when I installed the headers to net 327whp/382wtq It will crest 37000 miles of consumption free use today. Although the car has been set up with function as the main idea, I also have added a few little JDM and rare bling pieces that will not be seen together on another GR in the country. (Climate knobs, JDM bugeye grille badge, SYMS goodies, Forester A/V panel, Evo IX Recaros etc)
The car has been autocrossed for 3 and half years (since 2000 miles) with no issues and I ended up piloting it to first place in SCCNH's Street Modified class last year.
