Some people might think that getting your hands on a brand new Subaru Impreza WRX would be enough to get them started on the road to building a decent machine, whether it is for racing or for showing a factory finished car is not going to be up to those standards are they?
Well that was what Terry Kalosky an experience import builder thought, but after a few minutes behind the wheel there was an understanding that this car could not be just built into just another import car, this had potential and so he set about the task.
First up is the bodywork, this involved getting hold of all parts that could possibly be bolted on to a car, full coil cover, turbo back exhaust, FMIC and the all important intake, not to mention that all important nitrous oxide equipment.
Sure there was a huge amount of changes made to this car, but eventually it had to be right and to make sure that this car is worthy of the respect it deserves it won the NOPI Nationals, visited SEMA in Las Vegas and had a goof showing at the Hot Import Nights Chicago, cool!
