Shinkansen ZN6



Alright! So, I've finally modded far enough that I feel the need for a build thread. I picked the car up last May with 21,000 miles on her, with just a few nicks in the paint, and have since been working on making her mine. The end goal is a competent, quick street car - I admit she won't see a lot of track time as there isn't one reasonably close, but there's lots of back-road twisties around here that are great fun.

While she did start life as a Scion, I have no love of that brand, and don't really feel that's what the car is. As I started modding, I discovered that almost everything I pull off of the car or replace is branded "Subaru" - So I decided to call a spade a spade and badge her accordingly.

The STi badge won't be just for show after long - I have some goodies from JapanParts on order, and in the future an AVO turbo kit will back up the badge.

Mod list -

Five:AD spoiler - Firestorm Red

Performance
