2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI - Career Opportunities

With sufficient power for track sessions, the last thing we would want is for the protagonist's story to be cut short due to suspension maladies. Thankfully, Steven planned in advance, listing Tein for their Flex suspension and EDFC, Cusco for their antiroll bars, and Auto Power for a protectiveseven-point rollcage. Almost finished, Steven called Brian Fox's friends over at J-Line, Toyo, and Mackin Industries for 18-inch wheels, tires, and brake pads to complete the safety.

For the cabin, Steven talked to longtime racewear manufacturer OMP about his project. Eager to throw in their two cents, they suggested Steven get their WRC seat and steering wheel into the car for improved drivability. Brian further suggested Auto Meter gauges, Pioneer electronics, and Fosgate amplifiers and speakers to round out the interior modifications.

Hustling it through school and work, Steven managed to graduate from college with a degree in, surprise, marketing. His final thesis, however, would come after all the pomp and circumstance in the form of a low-mileage, bone-stock '04 Subaru STi purchased in the low $20K range.Working all summer and with guidance from Brian Fox, the body skills of Andrew Lander and Ron Lieman, graphics by Impressive Signs, interior by Creative Car Tunes, and all the aforementioned partners, Steven managed to finish his project in under a semester's time. The end result? The body of work before you-years of experience turned dope ride turned Super Street cover turned bright outlook for a marketing career. Not too shabby for an intern.
