Subaru

March 30, 2022

      Subarus have been a bigger part of the Room8s than roadsters have been. Between the 3 of us we have owned... David: 2, Clay: 1, Cole: 4? 5? I've lost count and i realize Cole has owned most of them but that's not the point. Cole and Clay's experience with Subarus was fully integral to their love for cars, with Cole's first car/project being a 2005 Subaru WRX that he later traded for his Boxster, and then both of us working at a Subaru dealership with David, Clay for 1 year, and Cole to the present for over a year now. It's pretty simple to say that without Subarus we wouldn't know a tenth of what we know about cars now.
      So far, David's 2011 WRX, being built to make a number of horsepower that goes up every couple months, a 1999(?) Subaru Legacy Outback with forester struts, a free roofrack, harbor freight lights, and some huge tires was our most capable off-roading vehicle before David departed. Cole's 2005 lifted WRX with yokohama geolandars, KC spotlights, forester struts, full exhaust (minus his cutoff muffler), and splotchy window tint is currently the most modified car in the family. Clay's 1999 Impreza Outback Sport may have more mods, but they're pretty humble in effect. Adjustable KYB struts, maxpeedingrods engine and trans mounts, ebay adjustable short shifter, rear subframe lockdown kit, R1Concepts drilled and slotted front rotors and semi-metallic pads, stainless braided brake hoses in the front, a single WRX seat for the driver seat, and a bunch of things that Clay has completely neglected installing that would probably preserve his car.
