WICKED WAGON car that way. High-quality parts always yield stronger results.” The interior continues this theme with a simple but effective scheme. The only aftermarket gauge is a stock one, the OEM boost gauge by Lamco. Because Yukio drives this car on the street, he installed a set of Black Alcantara reclining seats with JIC ultra-low seat brackets. To set the interior off a bit, he redid the interior door cloth in Urban Camo. No street cruiser is complete without some tunes, and to that end a Sony head unit with a 7-inch dash monitor with Playstation2 handles the entertainment. Monster cables are routed to Memphis audio speakers with components powered by a Memphis Audio 1000w amp, with Memphis Audio 10-inch subs. But the thing that most sets off this car is the body. The Liberal wagon kit is one of the more attractive body kits available and is made for the WRX wagon. While the wagon may only have slab-sides, the kit makes the car look much beefier and aggressive, which is good when you drive a wagon. The paint is stock Aspen White. “Being from a Camry group, I was used to the whole ‘why did you modify that thing?,’ and modified WRXs were so abundant,” said Yukio. “It was natural for me to modify a slightly unorthodox car, and I figured a wagon was a good choice. I still get that a lot from nonSubaru people, but it doesn’t bother me. It’s more of a complement. I also have a three-year-old daughter and I figured that a wagon would just fit in with the whole ‘family thing.’ Besides, wagons look so damn good. Also, I’ve never owned an all-wheel drive car before and the handling was dead on, especially with the JIC FLT-A2 coilovers and the Hankook tires combined together. You don’t see many ‘done up’ wagons. I’ve always been up for a challenge like my Camry was.” We like to see cars that are different, where the owners push the norms out a little farther in an attempt to be an individual. We also appreciate a car that has balance both in the handling department as well as the engine compartment. Yukio’s mean white wagon certainly fits the bill and once again shows why Subaru people are what make a Subaru, a Subaru. SUBIESPORT MAGAZINE 31 http://www.rallyarmor.com http://www.rallyarmor.com
