Who says young families have to drive dull, boring compact SUVs? Young mothers can also have vehicles modified by professionals and thus attract attention on the road. Just like the UK tuner Samy Houston the case is. His is very special Subaru WRX STI, which she modified in the classic JDM style, and which serves as a daily driver in everyday life, among other things to drive her children to school. This is how we imagine early automotive education, and who knows if the next generation of car tuning enthusiasts will take their places in the back of the Subaru. Let’s go back to the WRX, which we present to you in more detail today.
Rally sport for everyday use!
The metallic black rally car, whose everyday life Sammy Housden sweetens, not only offers a discreet body kit included front splitter and thick side skirtsbut also a Air Lift Performance 3P Chassis, whose height can be adjusted effortlessly from the cockpit using a controller. For the dynamic appearance of the car, the tuner chose 9,5 × 18 inch rims from Rota Grid Driftwhich have been upgraded with a gold powder coating and pay homage to the former World Rally Championship car.
On the rims are tires from the Chinese tire brand Nankang in the 225/35 R18 format. Minor changes to the Subaru include the fixing of stabilizers to the huge rear wing too the establishment of wind deflectors on the side windows. From our point of view, however, these wind deflectors do not necessarily have to be there, because they look less elegant and unsportsmanlike. But if they do their job and block out wind noise, at least they have a use.
Last but not least, of course, a new sports brake system from Brembo, which ensures that the vehicle stops safely in all situations. Now the question is, aren’t we all a little jealous of Sammy Housden’s kids, because which one of us was lucky enough to be taken to school in a modified rally car?!
Inside, almost everything has remained standard!
Of course, in the modified family transporter, the rear seat should not be the victim of a arch to install, or similar things. It goes without saying, which is why the interior remained almost standard. Only additional instruments of Pro Sport, which display various temperatures and pressures, as well as a audio system from Pioneer have found their way into the WRX STI. Comfort and safety are therefore fully guaranteed for everyone when driving with the Daily Driver special.
2.5 liter four-cylinder boxer engine!
As usual from Subaru, a turbocharged boxer heart beats under the hood. It was thanks to a ECU Remappings (chip tuning) and other changes to the Exhaust system to 331 hp and 477 Nm of maximum torque pushed. This means that the way to school for children should always be a special new test, and parents will also have a lot of fun.
