Overview

This one is a build montage: every install John did on his WRX in four years, set to music with almost no narration (the transcript below is a single line). The real value is the description, where John lists the whole build: an E50 tune by Ron Watson with a Cobb flex fuel kit and DW300 pump, Cobb intake, Mishimoto J-pipe and Q300 cat-back, ISC coilovers on Enkei NT03+M wheels, a Perrin shift stopper and STI short shifter package, an S208 front lip, STI side skirts and trunk with wing, Subispeed TR taillights and F1 rear fog, Rally Armor mud flaps, and a Dasaita Android head unit. The buy links below are copied from that description.
