An Enthusiast Staff Build Years in the Making

The hunt for perfection

Ask any real car enthusiast, and they’ll tell you – building a dream ride is never a straight road. It’s long nights, endless parts lists, and a bank balance that takes a beating. But when you’re obsessed with getting every detail right, there’s no such thing as too much.

Unfiltered Performance

Packing 500kW+ of turbocharged fury and a stance that demands attention, Simon’s WRX STI isn’t just another bagged Subaru – it’s a statement. Built with big power, bold presence, and an obsessive attention to detail, this is JDM done right.

BUILT TO TURN HEADS — AND LEAVE THEM BEHIND

Simon’s WRX STI isn’t just a build-it’s a long-term evolution. Ripped apart, and refined, every upgrade has pushed it closer to perfection.

“From my early childhood growing up and playing Need For Speed. I always wanted to build a custom car and had a vision. The last 2 years of this build has been challenging and stressful. If anyone says building a car is easy… they clearly haven’t built a car ahahaha. Now I can breathe and sleep more easily having it done, then again it never ends when you build a car..” says Simon.

With a one-of-one widebody kit to a fully built EJ257 pushing 500kW, this WRX is a showcase of what’s possible when nothing is left on the table.

Simon – mate, you’ve built something truly next level. This is what being an enthusiast is all about.
