Ah, the Subaru WRX. A personal favorite of mine. The lines, the performance, the history; what isn’t there to like about it. So when I laid my eyes on this Scooby, I fell in love. Donny Mak brings us this WRX STi in Java Black. The owner, Billy Ono and Kami Speed, seem to know what cars are about. They’ve crafted this WRX with some nice style, but also some pretty serious performance modifications.

We’ll start under the hood, where the stock turbo has been swapped out for a Trust TD06S L2 rotated turbo kit. There are a few other Trust parts on this car included a Trust 47mm Type R wastegate and an oil cooler from Trust. The fuel for the engine comes through 850cc injectors from Power Enterprise. That company also provides the timing belt. There is a V Mount from P.E. that has an intercooler and radiator from A.R.C. The air gets sucked through an Apexi intake.

So now that we’ve mentioned some of the things that make this car go, let’s take a look at what makes this car flow. (Did you like that one? I made up all by myself.) I’ve never seen body kit parts from the Varis company, but they accent the car pretty well. The lip kit, carbon canards, rear diffusers, and complete carbon hood and trunk come from Varis. The spoiler is a 140mm wing, also coming from Varis. The underpanel diffuser was made by Beatrush.
Now whether your rollin’ down the street, or racing on the track, stopping the car can sometimes be necessary. Of course, sometimes you have to slam on the brakes, so it’s good to have stopping power. The brakes on this STi come from DBA. The rear brakes are Series 4000 Slotted. The fronts are DBA’s Series 5000 Slotted in 2 pieces. The stainless steel brakelines from ZeroSports connect to ZeroSports Sport/Circuit pads. Oh yeah, the wheels are a nice simple wheel from Advan Racing. They’re the RG-II in 18 inches, wrapped in Yokohama rubber.

Now the modifications don’t stop inside. Scroll on down and take a look at the subtle touches to the interior. And make sure you check out each and every picture. I mean hey, it’s Donny Mak. And with such a beauty from Kami Speed, you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you do.
