Default Subaru of the Month (January): gjtracer

Member: gjtracer
Journal: Garet's 08 WRB GRB STI with Tanabe Coilovers
Contest: New Beginnings

SOCALSUBIES EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
----------------------------------



SOCALSUBIES EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
----------------------
SoCalSubies: Please tell us what influences persuaded you to sign up with SoCal Subies?

gjtracer: I was looking for a more local community of Subaru owners. Tried other forums, but none were as personable or active.


SoCalSubies: What is the main reason you bought a Subaru?

gjtracer: There are many "main" reasons I bought a Subaru. The most important are the tradition of WRC (watched much of this growing up), my other car being stolen and getting a great deal on the car, and last but not least the boxer rumble :thumbup2:.


SoCalSubies: Do you have any modifications on your Subaru? If so, what are they?

gjtracer: The modifications that are currently on the car are:

Engine:
-Turbo heat shield
- Perrin Turbo Back Exhaust
- AEM Cold Air Intake
- AccessPort
- Protuned by Churches

Suspension:
SPT Strut Bar
SPT Cross Bar
Tanabe Sustec Pro Coilovers
Whiteline Swaybars (24mm Front, 22mm Rear)
Whiteline Endlinks (Front and Rear)
Nitto NT-05
Front control arm bushing (Not Installed Yet)
Rear camber adjuster bushing (Not Installed Yet)
Rear subframe bushings-(Kartboy) (Not Installed Yet)
Rear diff insert (Not Installed Yet)
Rear subframe insert (Not Installed Yet)

Breaks:
Hawk HP+ Pads (Not Installed Yet)
Steel Break Lines (Not Installed Yet)

Outside:
Window Tint
Rally Armor Mud Flaps


SoCalSubies: Can you tell us about your future plans for your Subaru?

gjtracer: Future mods are more suspension parts (more bushings), wider wheels (probably 9.5 inches), and finally more engine work.


SoCalSubies: Please tell us why you chose the spot where you photographed your car for the contest?

gjtracer: The spot was not my ideal shot, but one that I thought would work well if the lighting cooperated and if the background was nice. I was running out of time and was in the valley and my girlfriend suggested the location and I also tried to find a good source of lighting and realized that this location would work very well (and it did).

SoCalSubies: Any last words?
- I would like to thank everyone for voting for me and would like to say that everyone who submitted their picture did a great job as well.

I would also like to thank the SCS admins for all of the hard work they do on the boards!
