William Torres was introduced to the WRX when he took a ride in a friend’s 2003 WRX Wagon. After that day, Torres said he was instantly hooked on the model. Now the owner of a 2002 Subaru WRX, he’s managed to create something unique with a right-hand drive conversion, engine components from Fuku Works, K&N, Walbro GrimSpeed, Import Racing and Mishimoto; an Air Lift Performance 3P air management system, a decked-out exterior with STI Version 7 lip and grill and C-West side skirts; in addition, but not the last, a multimedia setup featuring Pioneer, American Bass, Crunch and XS Power. While Torres says there’s “too many modifications to list”, some future modifications are to include Bride seats, a half cage, 3/5-point harness and retrofit headlights.
