1. What originally sparked your interest in the Subaru Brand?
Chris aka @ejchino says "Subaru’s have always had my heart as a kid, especially the blob eye generation and the hatchback. I’ve always liked the Subie rumble since it was so iconic, how it only came in a manual, the AWD, and the overall soul the car has."
2. Why did you choose your model/year Subie?
"I chose the 2015 launch edition because it was the last true EJ engine...the last generation with the true Subie rumble! It still maintains everything all the generations had before it while having an updated interior so you get the nostalgia while staying current. Being that it's a launch edition it's very special to me because it's a limited production vehicle and being the first out of the door. The interior being blue instead of red is a nice touch and it came with the classic Gold BBS's from the factory which made me fall in love with it."
3. What modifications have you done?
Full Remark Cat-back, Grimmspeed AOS, Airlift Suspension, TE37 SL’s, Alpine speakers speakers and tweeters, Skar Audio 2 10inch subs, OLM carbon fiber lip kit, Idoing headunit, Carbon fiber and suede steering wheel, and a Billetworkz Shiftknob.
4. What’s your favorite mod thus far?
"The cat back exhaust really opens up the subie rumble!"
5. If someone were buying a bone stock version of your car, what would you recommend they do first and why?
"Oil and Air Separator and switching to 5W-40, then a Cat back and any sort of suspension modification."
6. If you could go back in time, what would you do differently? If anything?
"I would’ve done a Stage 1+, Catless Down-pipe, a tune with a boost controller and an HKS Super sequential BOV"
7. If money were no object, what would you do to your car?
"Varis Front Bumper, Varis side skirts, Built Block, Built/forged internals, Triple chrome the TE’s wrapping the car in Black PPF, Going FBO" Buff Bros Detail Supply says....Um yess please!
