Kumakubo has already shown the way to building and drifting Subarus, so that's what our friend Vincent did with his MY04 WRX.

I didn't manage to get any drifting photos from him, but somehow I don't think you guys will mind these pictures instead.

LOOK: Besides the striking Top Secret gold bodywork, the Chargespeed catalogue was pillaged for a Ver1 front bumper, Ver2 rear bumper, carbon fibre bonnet and boot. Other exterior goodies are a Vortex Type 3 GT Wing and Advan Super Racing (ver 2) tri-spokes.

GO: The venerable EJ20 was given a forged rebuild and a fast spooling Mitsubishi TD06 20G turbine provides the boost. At high revs, the Turbosmart 38mm wastegate screams for people to get out of Vincent's way, while engine management is courtesy of an Autronic SM4. Fueling is serious with Power Entreprise 1000cc injectors, Walbro in-tank and Bosch 044 external fuel pumps with a customised surge tank.

All these equates to 303 whp @ 1.3 bar and 440 NM of torque, more-than-sufficient for the drifting shenanigans that our friend has in mind.


TURN: To handle the rigors of drifting, a stronger Subaru GC STI Type RA gearbox was fitted. A Cusco RS LSD enables optimal torque distribution between the rear wheels during high speed do-rift-to while Tanabe height/damper adjustable coilovers allow for geometry fine-tuning based on road conditions.

STOP OOGLING AT THE GIRLS!

Nah, I am just messing with you. Enjoy!
