All Wheel Engineering, LLC was founded in 1999 to serve the U.S. market demand for upgraded components on Subaru Impreza 2.5RS vehicles. Due the increased demand for the vehicle, All Wheel Engineering developed the kartboy.com web site to promote our kartboy line of products and services. With the addition of the Subaru WRX to the 2002 model line, the product line has expanded. In addition to retail customers, All Wheel Engineering acts as consultants to professional racing teams.
