Andy Kuo's 2007 Impreza WRX
Member #16660
Car Description:
Andy Kuo’s 2007 WRX: “Function = Form”I've owned my car since it was brand new and 100% stock fresh off the dealer lot for over 11 years now. To me, this car is all about a build exemplifying a harmonic symphony of authentic parts that go towards improving all aspects of the function of the car, which ultimately improves all facets of the form of the car. For over a decade, the car has been daily'ed, shown, tracked, canyon-carved, loved, and built with passion and genuine purity for what building cars should be all about; not fueled by superficial, vapid considerations such as IGfame, instalikes, recognition, etc, and only built for increasing my appreciation for the car and furthering my driver's experience.
This is the first public debut of my car after my car was slammed into by a hit-and-run DUI drunk driver whom subsequently fled the scene and left the driver's side of my car completely destroyed. I've spent half a year rebuilding the car by hand myself in my garage to overcome and bring the build to the point at which it's at now.
