This is a resurrection of our shop time attack project that unfortunately was put on the back burner while we completed customer work and projects. The goal of this car is to be compete in Unlimited AWD Time Attack locally and abroad. We may also end up using the car for some sprint racing as well if time permits. The car started life as a WRB 2002 Subaru WRX Sedan which had the front end converted to a 2004 STi set-up after an unfortunate front end collision. The owner of the car had put a lot of time and effort into building the car and at one point it was making close to 500WHP with a GT35R. At some point the owner decided to part the car out and was left with the shell which was in great shape and suited our needs. We purchased the shell and had it brought over to the shop about 2 years ago with the hopes of quickly putting it together. This unfortunately wasn’t possible but we’re not really making some headway into getting the car ready for track use next year. As the car was a street car it had car audio wiring, sound deadening added and much more which was of no use to us so we had our work cut out for us to get started.
The project name comes from alchemy which was the process of turning ordinary metal into gold. Our goal is to turn this ordinary WRX into something special which….spoiler alert….will be wrapped Gold once complete.
