As a software engineer it's a must to get out of the house and get fresh air. I do this by going on hikes, driving around in my Subaru STI, and sometimes going out to the track to drift my 240sx! I'm originally from Midwest, STL Missouri to be exact! I moved out to the pacific northwest back in 2019 after graduating college with my BS in IT/CS.
-
My 2019 Subaru STI is my pride and joy that I have been building since August 2020. Out of the many cars choices out there I picked the STi because it was a car I could have fun it, build, customize, but also take anywhere! There's no telling when I will be complete with my build but so far it has a Garrett g25-550 turbo, 1050cc injectors, GrimmSpeed front mount intercooler, custom fuel lines, GrimmSpeed bypass valve, electronic boost control solenoid, fuel pump, IAG AOS, pressure regulator, and more! In the future I plan to have less air flow restriction with tgv deletes and a turbo inlet.

My names Logan Davis, 24 years old, and born and raised here in Omaha, Ne. Growing up I always loved to look at vehicles, in particular trucks. I always dreamed about building something like what I saw on YouTube. I spent a lot of time watching SEMA recap videos. As I grew older, I found myself loving to get my hands dirty in the garage with my dad. Working on vehicles became second nature to me. My dad and I drove to Owensboro, Kentucky to get a 1998 Chevy s10 step-side 2wd, we rebuilt everything on the truck, including the whole drivetrain. After the project was all finished, I received the truck as my 16th birthday present. It was my first truck, and at that very moment I was hooked on building and modifying vehicles. To this day I still own my 1st truck, but now it has been since built as a street truck with a mild built LS1 and the potential of pushing around 450 HP to the wheels. Copperhead came into building in November of 2018. When i bought the truck all that it had was a custom paint job, and some small 17" wheels with some 35" mud tires. It was perfect for what I needed. I purchased the truck for work, I was a pipe welder that traveled the country for the company I still currently work for. When I was in the market for a vehicle I only had one must have. It had to be a manual transmission. I worked as a welder for around a year before switching fields. I am now a Design Draftsman, designing ammonia refrigeration for beef plants, and Con Agra foods food processing plants all across the nation. Since switch departments and fields I have started building Copperhead into the dreams I had imagined at a young age. Since November of 2018 Copperhead has been many different looks and styles. From off-road, to lowered on street tires, to lowered on mud tires to now lifted 8" on 36" mud tires. I would've never imagined from a young age to build my truck how I have it today. Back in 2018 I started an Instagram page for the truck, after looking up to all the truck who started this "show truck" industry. I never would've imagined in 100 years I would've grown as fast or like I have today. Since 2018 I have gained over 24,000 followers. Going to shows across the nation, meeting new people and building relationships with not only people and fan but also companies is amazing to me. That's why I love doing what I do. I love showing off the truck and seeing other peoples crazy dreams turned to reality. Working with companies that helping get their name out there in the show truck industry is a lot of fun for me. I love being dealt challenges by the companies I work with every season. I am extremely grateful for the people and companies I have build life long friendships and relationships with over the last few years. It has opened so many doors for me that I never would've thought I would get.

I drive a 2011 RAM 2500 Single Cab Cummins, coined Copperhead. It has a 6.7 inline 6 Cummins, backed by a G56 6 speed manual transmission. When originally looking for a truck to use for work, my must have was a 6 speed manual. Cab size, and model didn't matter as long as it was a manual and in good shape. I stumbled upon what I now call Copperhead in the begging of November 2018. It was bone stock besides the full aftermarket paint job that the old owner father did. The truck was originally black from factory in 2011. Currently the truck his painted a extremely high flake brown with a copper two tone. Since purchase I have done a ton of modifications with the different styles I have done. For example; here are a few things below of what my long build list consists of: Full Custom two tone paint job (truck was originally black) -S467.7/83/1.0 2nd gen high mount turbo swap from Full Send Diesel -Fully Deleted -4 stage tunes -South Bend Stage 2 Clutch -5” Straight pipe axle dumped to a custom 5x7 overlay tip by KH Metalworx (Powder Coated) -Custom bumper from Wicked Bumpers with 34” sound bar recessed into it by Powerbass USA -Custom “Copperhead” grille insert from KH Metalworx -24 Rock lights, dual row led wheel rings from Oracle Lights -Alpha Rex Nova headlights, paint matched taillights and 3rd brake light by Alpharex -800-piece Rolls Royce inspired Starlight headliner -Emblems done by Main Event Emblems -635g billet weight shift knob from Race Seng -Custom copper stitched shift boots from Stronghold Shift Boots -Laramie Longhorn inspired leather grab handles done by Stronghold Shift Boots -Rubber bed mat from Black Armour Bed Mats -Dual steering stabilizer -Traction bars: Designed and Fabricated by myself (Powder Coated) -GEN-Y 15” drop hitch (Powder Coated) -8” Lift kit (Powder Coated) -24x14 -81 Arkon Crown Victory Wheels with Powder Coated Accents -375/40/24 Atturo Trail Blade BOSS tires -Powder Coat Color is Transparent Copper Future plans consists of: 4 link Cradle Custom powder coated BDS Lift Braum Racing Seats Arkon 24x14 -81 Roosevelt wheels custom two tone powder coat wrapped in 375/40/24 Atturo Trail Blade Boss Gorilla spiked lugs powder coated Fender exit exhaust Custom headliner

Hello :) I’m Rachel! I currently work as a couples therapist in a private practice here in Dallas, TX. I have lived here since 2019, but I’m originally from a small town about an hour south of St. Louis, MO. I love cars in general, but I am especially passionate about all things JDM! I currently have a 2018 Subaru STi, a 1993 Nissan 300zx, and occasionally you’ll see me whipping my family’s Miata around the race track a couple times a year. When I'm not being a therapist or wrenching on cars, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, Turbo & Kota, figuring out how to DIY everything, taking care of my plant babies, and traveling.

I currently own a 2018 Subaru STi and a 1993 Nissan 300zx. The STi has always been a dream car of mine and I almost bought a 300zx in high school, so they both have a lot of nostalgia for me. I have alway been into motorsports and car shows/events, but it wasn't until I finished school in 2020 that I could actually afford to purchase and mod my own builds. I have so much planned for both cars, as well as so many other cars I would still like to own (Mostly JDM of course) in my lifetime!

I love the RS7 because it’s roomy, very sporty, luxurious, and has a beautiful design. My car has stage 1 APR tune. Because my car has dynamic ride control, I put on KW height adjustable springs so I can lower it in the summer and raise it to stock height in the winter for snow. In the summertime I put on my Vossen HF-2 for a sexier look

By day, I work in IT. By night, I’m a tired adult trying to balance my life between food adventures, sports, working out, spending time with corgi and of course working on my cars. I spend a good chunk of time going to car shows, car meets and I typically volunteer 20-30 hours each year.

My daily is a static 2019 Subaru WRX. It has been my goal since day 1 to make him a unique, yet aesthetically pleasing and safe daily. Due to an old sports injury, he is a CVT, but it doesn’t mean I’m limited to automatics as I also have a 2006 manual Forester XT as well as a 2003 Ducati Monster 620.

I am passionate about vehicles, growing up I always begged to go to car shows and had so many HotWheels.

I currently have a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 2wd dually with the 5.9l/24v Cummins and a 6 speed manual. I bought it back in December 2021 completely bone stock, one owner, rust free Texas truck. In the last six months I have lowered it, but wheels and tires on, installed aftermarket bumpers, 4" straight pipe exhaust, external lift pump and filters, headlights, mirrors, and more. Currently I am just enjoying taking the truck to shows and slowly modifying it on weekends and after work. I am planning on getting this thing started on the process to slam it on its frame once show season is over during winter.

Hi - I'm Jenna & I have an unhealthy obsession with everything to do with cars. My cars are my babies and they are beyond spoiled. To afford the endless car parts, I work full-time in accounting for a large construction company. I hope to one day be able to work in a field related to what I love. Aside from accounting, I also own and run my automotive apparel & lifestyle brand which keeps me extremely busy. When I'm not doing car-related stuff you can find me at the gym or relaxing on the couch with my pomeranian, Viper. My goals in life are to own multiple cars, and pets, and to see the world.
-
I currently drive a 2018 STI Type RA & two 2008 Evo X GSR's. I have always had a love for JDM & rally cars and growing up I was obsessed with wanting a Subaru. I originally owned a 2016 WRX before trading it in for my current STI. I ended up getting the first Evo after needing another fun, manual, AWD daily. I fell so in love with it, that I got another one haha. The future plans for the STI is to do a conservative street build so I can continue to daily drive it in the Summer and have some fun on a few track days. The one Evo is being turned into a full track car to compete in CSCS racing in 2023 and the other Evo will be my winter daily driver.

Hi there! My name is Sydney and I am currently a service representative for a Subaru Dealer. I am 23 years old and I live on my own in a small town north of Toronto and I am also a proud cat mom to a bengal kitty named Leo. My passion for cars started when I was younger..as silly as it sounds, when I started gaming and playing need for speed and forza, I became extremely interested in the automotive scene. Then I was introduced to the Subaru brand and I fell in love with the idea of owning one some day. Fast forward to today and two dreams have come true .. I own my Subaru and its Pink!
-
My Subaru is a 2019 WRX, sport trim, and manual transmission. I became very passionate for the WRX/STI because of their rally background as well as the boxer engine and all-time AWD system. I needed something practical and safe but also sporty looking and the WRX was a perfect option .. not to mention a dream of mine to own. I bought the car brand new and I got my first set of coilovers 8 months after owning it, which was the very first mod I did. We all know as you soon as you start... you can't stop. So overall, the current mods on my vehicle are all cosmetic, so far it has coilovers, Remark Boso Exhaust, Front lip and sideskirts, rear spats, and there may be a couple small things I'm missing. I am also a huge sound freak and got new speakers for the car as well as wired in two, 10inch subwoofers and that was probably the best decision I ever made. Recently, after 2 years the car finally got wrapped my favorite color and the car looks exactly how I dreamt of it. I don't really have any future plans for the car except for keeping up with maintenance, once the warranty is over, Power mods may be an option for me.

I own a 2018 Subaru WRX that I have installed a 2” lift kit on it with rally tires. This is my second WRX that I’ve owned and I love the handling and power so I wanted to get another one. Along with the lift kit, I have added quite a few power mods and durability mods. I built the car to handle rally but only got into it this year. I definitely plan to attend as many rally crosses as I can because I enjoy it so much!

I drive a 2020 subaru STI and next month will officially mark 3 years with her. I love jdm cars and decided to go with a subaru because I loved the fact that I could build my car yet still daily drive it. I am happy with where my car is now and hope to continue to build it. As far as modifications, I am stage 1+ with CF cobb intake and I am running the AWE track exhaust. All other mods are cosmetic; bc coils, Te37SL’s, carbon pieces (front lip, side skirt, steering wheel, shift knob, rear spats), alcantara shift and e-brake boot, subispeed headlights / taillights, and my favorite part, the wrap. I chose this color after seeing it on a GR86. I wanted to go with something different & I had not yet come across another wrx / sti with this same color. I hope to continue to add performance mods in the future and possibly track her. This car has brought me lots of happiness and I hope to inspire others to continue building! <3
