Owner's Spotlight: Ara's Impreza STI [4K]

When ever the opportunity to travel around Japan and explore the car culture outside of Tokyo arises, it doesn't take much to for me to say yes (as long as time and funding allows for it that is). A few years back I met Ara at a RevSpeed time attack event at Tsukuba circuit. Out of the line up of WRX's that lined the parking lots, Ara's clearly stood out from the pack. As I was contemplating about snapping a few pictures, Ara happened to walk by and was more than happy to show me around his pride and joy. Think this would be a good car to feature, I asked if he lived near by. "Fukushima" he replied. Needless to say we have kept in touch until finally the stars aligned where I could make the journey up to Fukushima and bring back his story.
So this time on Tokyo Tuner, sit back and relax as we take a trip up north to Fukushima. Enjoy!
Special thanks goes to MenClub ( / menclub.hk ) for helping make this trip possible ^_^

Sorry about the audio in parts. My mic was acting up that day and had to try and make lemons into lemonade ^__^ Enjoy!

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Mission successful, I say.

[@TokyoTuner]

@@starfox_wr-45e93 appreciate it!

[@linchester8464]

Still sounds alright to me.

[@TokyoTuner]

Glad to hear that! Had to do some extra ish to save it lol

[@castortroy0014]

Tokyo Tuner the rawness of the twinscroll engine sound was captured as it needed to be, awesome!

[@JM-mn4ph]

I've always loved the way Subaru flat fours sound but then you throw in the turbo flutter and I'm in heaven!

[@CebalBRZ]

That passion... just wow

[@wills.junks7]

I love everything about it! Static, performance and style! Just the way i like it!

[@M.asa.]

Amazing filming and story. Really want to see how he is in track

[@user-uu3si6bn6j]

若いのに素晴らしいね。自分は生涯スポーツカー貫きますよ。

[@donaldmokgale3123]

That passion is incredibly poetic!! "The car represents parts of me I cannot be" wow this guy is deep! Tokyo Tuner San, you keep getting better and better!!! I absolutely love the sound of exhaust and blowoff valve 🤤🤤🔥🔥. Subarashi!!!!

[@TokyoTuner]

^___^ Thank you! And yes, his passion is really contagious

[@Andychengg]

Quality jdm parts only , my man putting in the extra effort

[@user-mz5ft6ny7q]

This channel is like the heaven!

[@TokyoTuner]

Hehe welcome^^!

[@caesarspqr5561]

Its a pity,this channel deserves more attention and views. Pure dedication,i see alot of stupid channels clickbaiting and giving confusing information on cars with over 250k subs,this shows that most of the people are braindead fishes. If you read this,i wish ya all the best and hope this channel grows. ✌️

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you for the kind words ^_^ Honestly I'm amaze its to the size now. I want to try and focus more on the channel this year than last - just trying to get funds / balance out my other work so I can keep doing this. Thank you for watching!

[@StevenSanchez_95]

I know it takes time to make these vids because your busy but there always a masterpiece. Great work. 👌🏾

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you fam 🙏🏽 Trying get to the point where I can have more time to make films ^^ slowly but surely getting there

[@mastaace2670]

I especially love that he made the license plate 555 just like the old rally sponsor's. Not sure if that was the purpose but it looks nice, what a very beautiful car though much respect

[@TokyoTuner]

Yah that a custom plate. His car use to look like an old WRC car until he decided to take it a different route

[@elemfao500]

Fck 1st time i admired a subaru this is one helluva ride. Must be the paint

[@Infinatrix]

Great video as always!

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you for watching!

[@neo2378]

What a very nice STI

[@williamfullman2639]

As always couldn't wait to watch this I'm a super big fan of your work keep it up

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you for always watching ^^!

[@kayjdm4340]

Killer content as always! Honestly best looking blobeye i ever saw, really reminds me of the JGTC Subarus! 😍😍👌🏻

[@Wesley_C]

*Impreza Heaven*

[@Psychoxistence]

What a beauty

[@jamesruralsparkynz3504]

Great video!

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you for watching !

[@indianajones99]

Love the car! But when i first saw the wing i bursted out laughing. :D Glad that he wants to make it smaller. Keep up the awsome content bro!

[@TokyoTuner]

Hahahaha yeah. It was one of those it sounded good at the time. And then was like.. Hmm lol. Thank you for watching ^^!

[@H1GHD3FF]

Thanks for the subtitles

[@TokyoTuner]

Haha of course ^^

[@DriversSide]

Great video! I’ve always loved the blobeye and I’m thinking about getting a blobeye hatchback someday for my channel! Your videos are great and inspire me to create better content!

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you! Do it haha! I actually need to introduced my car as well 😂 *sigh*

[@DriversSide]

Tokyo Tuner YES! I’d love to see what you drive!

[@TokyoTuner]

@@DriversSide haha I'll try and get to it soon. Definitely trying focus a lot more in the channel this year

[@DriversSide]

Tokyo Tuner same with me and my channel

[@TokyoTuner]

@@DriversSide haha ok. Let's make a deal to get that done 👌🏾

[@milkteaman510]

Nice video, I love the Fukushima area. I have my car there at Ebisu and I wish I could drive it on the nice country side roads!

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you! Yes, some of the best roads I have EVER driven on are in Fukushima. I would say you should give it a try, but if its a drift missile lol.. that might not work out too well

[@jdfl90]

What a great car! Love the sound!!

[@linchester8464]

Something is missing from his STi. Def was the iconic Subaru boxer rumble from the unequal length headers. Agree that the wang is too big for a "street" car. Otherwise the car looks clean other than the front mounted intercooler poking out of the front bumper. Nice video as always

[@TokyoTuner]

Yahhh it was dumb big haha and now that you mentioned it, it really didn't have that deep rumble. Didn't even realize it hahaha. Thank you for watching as always 🙏🏽

[@Andychengg]

Equal length for that top end power for time attack haha

[@donaldmokgale3123]

Funny enough I actually love that he went for equal length headers, sounds so different and damn good!!

[@darin233]

With this being a JDM STI it never had UEL headers to begin with. They're inefficient for higher hp applications anyway

[@MRT3ABAG]

That Jdm model came with a twinscroll and equal length headers...

[@meister_4wlc714]

Lovely vid sir Ron!

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you ^^!

[@Ragna___]

Dream car! ❤️

[@leebro5286]

That turbo flutter tho 🤤🤤

[@kislov.yevgueny]

Really love your channel, Ron. Spasibo te za prodelannuyu rabotu

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank you for watching ^^!

[@Phymatic]

This car looks insane! Love the colour combo he has going on throughout it. Not a fan of the wing personally.

[@sewewese]

Awesome Bro!!

[@NissanR33Ztune]

nice edit

[@TokyoTuner]

Thank youuu

[@ryanjamessti1238]

I agree with alot of what you said. Your passion is appreciated. Much respect my friend...#subiefamily

[@tlcpg8894]

Dude you're one month shy of a year! I remember asking for an sti vid and you finally did one! Better late than never right? Is this the same sti you were planning to do a vid on? Amazing content as always!!! Keep up the good work!

[@TokyoTuner]

Hahahaha yes!! This was the one. It took me a while to get back to it since I kept getting stuck doing other things. Thank you for watching! ^^

[@piakleros]

Tex modify tuned?? Very nice built!!

[@zynaryzaidi7883]

At the age of 25 hes driving a subaru. Me at the age 25 I only ride a bike, now im 30 I cant afford to buy a car.. how lucky he is!

[@ej25lvr]

I have a 04 wrx sti that is bone stock besides a cat-back exhaust. Ever since I learned that the EJ257 engine we got in the United States has a weak block and ring land failures on the Pistons I've been afraid to do any mods that add any more power. However this coming summer I'm looking to get a closed deck block with all forged internals with ARP head studs and then hopefully I can get more power from it. Having it correctly tuned on a Dyno of course. JDM engines don't have the issues the USDM engines have I believe. That must be comforting for STI owner abroad. 😂

[@abc.garage]

One day hopefully my 6 can be featured

[@angiepetit8266]

それは、私はスバルを愛し、その👍👌のような非常に美しいですブートです

[@xRANGATANGx]

[@winston737]

Hey tokyo tuner, there's a channel called "Financial Mistake" and well... that channel is copying your style about reviewing cars. What do you think about that?

[@TokyoTuner]

Thanks for the heads up. I've talked with that channels owner a while back and suggested that he tries to work in his own unique style to tell the story in Malaysia ^^ Hopefully he will give it a shot

[@jorgegamboa8856]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😨😨😨😨😨👌👌

[@chickenisgoodfoodohyeah9139]

I thought this guy had pink rim and sticker and realise it was the edit

[@igsegrom6281]

Subaru are greait cars !!

[@StanleyKubick1]

He seems a little sad

[@TokyoTuner]

I think its the clash between his desire to be himself and what society thinks. Its only my interpenetration of course. He was happy and glad how everything turned out ^^

[@user-lw9tt8td5j]

羽、これギリギリセーフくらいですかね？ 整備不良ひっかかりそう🤔

[@TokyoTuner]

今問題ないです＾＾
