When Fox Marketing builds cars, they do it big. Specializing as a marketing firm in the sport compact market, their clientele list spans Nissan, BASF, Rockford Fosgate, Toyo Tires, , Impressive Signs graphics, Fujita Air, just to name a few. Many of their own clients had a helping handi n putting this car together and the result was not just a cover car featured in Super Street, but something that definitely raises eyebrows in the already saturated Subaru WRX tuning market. You see, this STI right off the bat screams something anew. Its paint job is without a doubt the most unique feature of the exterior, featuring a BASF Carizzma Flat Blue Paint and Flat Clear. Combined with the styling from the 10-piece APR wide body kit with plenty of carbon fiber accents, there’s hardly a stock panel left on this car!

Under the hood the entire engine has been revamped with more modifications than we can talk about. At the bulk of it all, WORX Tuning has completely overhauled the bottom end with one of their race prepped pieces. The head has been redone by DPR Racing with a full Stage 3 rally package. Powering the motor is a WORX Tuning GT35R turbo kit, consisting of a GT35R dual ball bearing turbo, TiAL 38mm wastegate and WORX Tuning front mount intercooler. Bolt-ons to the monster of a motor setup include a custom up-pipe, downpipe, GT SPEC 4-1 header, Fujita intake filter mated to a WORX Tuning short ram intake and an HKS carbon Titanium exhaust. Extra horsepower is also supplied courtesy of a Nitrous Express kit, and all the tuning has been handled courtesy of Cobb Tuning’s AccessPort.

Suspension wise the Subaru has received plenty of love starting with a set of TEIN Flex coilovers fully equipped with an EDFC. Cusco front and rear sway bars balance out the handling while GT SPEC front and rear tower bars stiffen up the chassis. Located on all four corners of this AWD wonder is a set of 18x9.5-inch JLine 10SL2 wheels. Wrapped with Toyo’s T1-R tires in a 235/35/ZR18 size this WRX clings on to every corner with glee.
Located behind each JLine wheel is a massive brake upgrade from Brembo with 13-inch rotors in the front and 12.5-inch rotors in the rear. 4 piston calipers clench down on Project Mu brake pads in the front while 2 piston calipers do similar work in the rear. Interior wise the car is adorned with several AutoMeter components as well as OMP racing gear. Plenty of ICE has been tossed into the mix thanks to many of Rockford Fosgate’s fine product.

The mod list for this Subaru is really extensive, so if you’d like to know more about the car check out the spec sheet. Nonetheless, the photos speak for themselves – this is one bad ass ride from Fox Marketing.
