In a world where automotive treasures are often overlooked and abandoned, the team at throtl stumbled upon an E36 M3, a relic of its former glory, now a mere shadow of its past. Jokes about sending it to the junkyard filled the air, but their eyes were set on a different prize - a 2007 STI with a heart of gold, boasting a new engine and minimal mileage. The potential for this gem sparked excitement, leading to discussions about its future modifications and enhancements.
As the STI underwent a transformation, shedding its old skin for a fresh coat of paint and a slew of performance upgrades, the team's anticipation grew. Carbon fiber components, coilovers, and a titanium exhaust were just the beginning of the STI's rebirth. The installation of a Carboy short shifter added a touch of finesse to the driving experience, promising a more engaging and precise ride on the horizon.
With meticulous attention to detail and a keen eye for quality, the team delved into the intricacies of the STI, ensuring that every part, from hangers to bushings, was up to their high standards. The lightweight titanium exhaust impressed with its ethereal presence, while the Carboy short shifter injected a new level of dynamism into the driving dynamics. As the STI evolved before their eyes, it was clear that this project was not just about modifications but a journey of revitalization and passion for automotive excellence.
