Introduction

/about me

My name is Lukas, I am car addict coming from the Czech republic, postcomunist country in the heart of Europe, surrounded by Germany, Poland, Austria and Slovakia, sometimes wrongly refered to as Czechoslovakia (dissolution of Czechoslovakia took effect on 1 January 1993).

My car is EDM (however made in Japan) 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi GR/GV Sedan in Obsidian Black Pearl or "The 'Rezza".

about 5 sets of these went through my hands, I am able to source them from time to time but they are impossible to be shipped to US (costs due to airbags inside=explosives even if you take them out they charge as they were in)

Damn those Recaros look sweet! lol very nice build my buddy. Def following the progress.

Thank you buddy!

Hey guys and gals. Thank y'all for kind words. On a personal note: my wife moved out and we are getting ready for divorce (after 11 years together) so I hope future will bring me some new "ride" sooner or later... Things were not easy for me for past months but life goes on and I am almost over her...

Now to the fun part!
