The Story
Say hi to Roxy everybody. Finally getting around to making one of these build threads. She's an 05 STi that I've owned since 2016. I bought it bone stock from a nice lady in her 60s who had owned it since brand new. It had 68k miles on it and she was selling it because that seemed to getting up there. She then went and bought a brand new 2016 STi
Back in 2007, when I was still in high school, my dad bought a brand-new Outback XT. And from then on I was in love with cars, turbo cars, and especially Subarus. I bought my first one (also my first car) just a couple months shy of my 21st birthday -- a 2003 WRX. I absolutely loved it for nearly 5 years when I ended up buying a lightning red 2010 STi. It was a great car... but after a year I found myself missing the smaller, more raw feel of the GD chassis.
Out of curiosity, I started trying to find a GD STi to test drive. My friend told me of a black one that he heard was about to be up for sale... so I went and drove it. I instantly loved it. It just felt right. I bought it a week later with cash and started trying to sell the GR.
It's come along a bit since then. I'm really happy with it and plan on keeping it for awhile, so I've been slowly working on making it exactly how I want it. I autocross quite regularly, as well as try to make it to track days and Time Attack events as often as I can. At some point, it might end up becoming a full out race car... but for right now I'm finding a happy medium between full track car and daily driver.
