Quick ride up to @mattywots spot yesterday to grab an engine. Thank you again man, was a blast minus getting peppered with love bugs 😂 great day to put some miles on this rig.

Slam it on Tarmacs and daily it ❌
Lift it on @nomadwheel and daily it ✅
Driving this rig up to Connecticut for @wickedbigmeet would be pretty sweet 🤨

Wish i did this sooner. From lowered on 17x9's to lifted on 15x7's - BIG fan. Rides so much nicer, looks cool as hell and not having to get off the ground to get out of the car is a plus 😂 10/10 recommend. Shoutout Derek for anti seizing the coilovers years ago so lifting it up was a breeze! Yes, there is enough coil in the lower per ISC's specs.
@methodracewheels on Subarus are just 🤌
@accelera_radial RA 162's with the grip
@isc_suspension with the couch-like ride quality
Shoutout @garrettreddish for the @rallyarmor install
@fuelfest bound this weekend, @racethefirm next month. Stoked!
Lall bai member @mr_lsti got something cooling on his STI swapped Impreza L. 🫡
Shoutout to @cr0ssthread_ at @_ss_fabrication for welding up the turbo kit and buttoning up a few fab things fo get this beast rowdy
Another Subaru?! 😆 To make a long story short, this car has been a part of my life through one of my childhood best friends for well over a decade. We basically learned how to turn wrenches together @dj_enduro916 between this and my first Subaru years ago. Many miles in this car in Connecticut, now it'll get many more miles put on it in Florida 😎
Derek offered the car to me and i couldn't say no. We arranged transport to have it picked up in CT and shipped down here. Shoutout Nexus Auto Transport for making that happen - i HIGHLY recommend them as they made that entire process smoother than i thought possible.
The car was unfortunately hit last year in the passenger rear. @asteria.248 and i road tripped it up to CT with a rear quarter from an 04 STi that i cut off a partout car at the shop and helped weld on and get the damage taken care of. Now that its down here i can finish the body work off and sort through the entire car and really make it mine.
Its a surreal experience to own it, yeah to some its just a wrx but man, as i get older i realize that sentimental value really means alot. After working on it as a kid, to now putting it on the lift in my shop and driving it around Florida, very difficult to explain how that feels. I've never been able to keep anything and if you know me, you know how true that is 😂 well this one will be around for a long time.
Thanks again for making it happen brother, i'm beyond stoked for this 🙏 life is crazy man.
This timepiece was custom designed with our client who wanted the face to replicate a tachometer. This was a fun one for us because we are car enthusiasts as well. The vision came together nicely and our client is very happy with the results!

Last week i picked up a lifted 2006 wrx and i have to admit, maybe i'm old but i'm kinda over coilovers 😂 met @deakkkx out of that deal, he towed the car up to the shop from Melbourne. If you need anything towed he's your guy!!
Enjoyed the hell out of it, then a few days ago i traded @cpages2 for this sweet 2014 STi! 02-07 will always be my favorite, but this thing is such a good car. Ironically my first STi and i always told myself i'd never go for a 08+ but here we are.
I'm indifferent about cars anymore. I love them, but i dont seem to keep anything very long. Everything has a price! So lets see how long this one sticks around. Getting with @pullzontuning to dial it in and enjoy it, until i find someone that wants to trade for a GD STi 😅
Thank you again for the killer car, Mike! Always a pleasure man. 🤝
Yearly post i guess 😂 saw alot, did alot, built alot. Met some incredible people. Just the beginning!
Big things coming for @_ss_fabrication
Big things coming for @gcchassis
(If you don't follow these pages already, please do. Your support means the world to me 🙏)
Big lesson learned this past year - Sometimes you have to eat shit and savor the flavor before you can truly enjoy the steak.
Thank you to all of you who have been a customer up until this point, supported the business and I in any way, been around for the highs and lows. I appreciate you guys more than words can describe.
Can't wait to see what the future holds, we've got shit to do.
The best advice i've ever been givin in my life up until this point holds true to this day and maybe some of you can benefit from it as well. 4 simple words - "You Gotta Want It."
Another big lesson this year - It doesn't matter how much $$ you have. You can't buy more time.. Spend it wisely.
See you for the next yearly post 🙏😂
2023 was one hell of a learning experience, kicked some serious ass and had my ass seriously kicked!! Knocked out some of the best work i've ever done.. not too bad for a guy learning how to Tig weld from Youtube 😅 met some awesome people that started as customers and became lasting friendships. Overall, no complaints going into the new year.
One of my most recent customers and i worked out a deal for the 2004 STi in the first pic. It's got some baggage attached to it and needs some love but if all goes well i think you guys will enjoy what comes of the car. Really stoked for that!
Wanted to shout out all of you who have been customers and are going to be future customers - i appreciate every single one of you and all the kind words, lessons and knowledge along the way. May your new year be full of success and happiness, and more horsepower 😎
Back to work ✌️
