Hello all,

Name is Vu and just decided to start my journal. Been modding cars for over a decade since I was 17. Decided to be more practical with my $$$ but modding is in my blood unfortunately. I cannot keep stuff stock. . .

NASIOC.com: AzNSTiIMPREZA
RS25.com: AzN STi Impreza
IWSTI.com: Boxer4Bullet
Scionlife.com: VuDism

Cars I've owned...
2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Coupe (Swapped 2003 WRX EJ20 drivetrain). I bought the engine and tranny and wiring harness from Canada. And my friend and I took 2 months doing the swap in his garage. I did all the wiring... Which was some crazy s#!+ on its own.








2008 Subaru Impreza STI Hatchback






2007 Nissan 350z Base
2009 Toyota RAV 4 Sport V6

All sold for various reasons such as too many miles accumulated, bad gas milage, maintenance costs etc.

Tried to do an economy car with a 2012 Scion TC








FINALLY: My 2013 SCION FRS 6MT






























Rain. Sun. Snow. Daily Driver.


MODIFICATIONS:

It was my favorite car. period. Still regret selling it. Just didn't have the funds to fix and do things I wanted with it. It was my only car at the time. The FRS.. Out of all the cars I bought after, gives me the closest feeling too that GC8.

Love the gunmetal on those RPF1s. Did that cost more than the standard silver? Tirerack had RPF1s listed with "special finish" looked like your gunmetal, but at least $400/set more than the others.

FYI, a lot of your shots have way too much blue in them. Try a custom white balance or maybe sunny or shady white balance.

My pics blueish was how I edited them. I did it really quickly on an android app. Lol

The wheels on tire rack are SBC / chrome like finish that is why they are more expensive. Mine are gun metal, only www.oakos.com sells gun metal and it cost the same as gold black and silver

Thanks. I miss that car a lot.
I noticed a lot of twin owners had, have, or want a GC8
