Look past the wheels
A tidy engine bay, repaired trim or carefully fitted bracket can say as much about a build as its paint. Ask the owner why a change was needed and how they made it work.
A real example
The photograph here shows Dave Mann’s 1998 Impreza 2.5RS as featured by TractionLife. His Version 7 STI swap and later turbo setup make a useful starting point for questions about packaging and the work behind a finished bay. Read Dave’s build story.
Show the work
When you share your car, include a full view and a few sharp detail photographs. Explain the job you are proud of, name the people who helped, and separate installed parts from future plans.
These are 2.5RSTI’s editorial notes, illustrated with an identified owner’s car. Photography: Amee Reehal / TractionLife. Tell us about your build.
