In this episode of throtl, the team embarks on a thrilling transformation journey with their 2007 Subaru STI. Armed with new wheels, tires, control arms, sway bars, coilovers, and brakes, they dive headfirst into the project. The process kicks off with the removal of the front lip, setting the stage for the installation of the eye-catching flares. With meticulous precision, they tape up the fenders, ensuring no room for error as they test fit the Carlton flare for that perfect OEM-style look. The installation proceeds smoothly, with rib nuts securing the flares in place, showcasing their attention to detail.
As the team shifts focus to the suspension and brakes, they leave no stone unturned in their quest for performance upgrades. From painting the brake calipers to tackling the control arms and subframe, every step is executed with precision and expertise. The addition of BC Racing coilovers and C boy sway bar endlinks further elevates the STI's handling capabilities, promising a driving experience like no other. The rear suspension receives equal treatment, with control arms and sway bar endlinks being replaced to ensure optimal performance on the road.
With the brake system now complete and the Moty Forged X06 wheels in Subaru gold mounted, the STI undergoes a visual transformation that leaves the team in awe. The newly painted fenders and the striking wheels come together to give the car a menacing yet refined look, signaling the completion of a job well done. The team's meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to perfection shine through in every aspect of the project, culminating in a Subaru STI that is not only a sight to behold but also a force to be reckoned with on the road.
