Hi everyone,
My name is Lee Yang, I work as a CNC Machinist. Happily married for 12 years, no children yet! I live 30 minutes north of Seattle, Washington, USA. If you have seen Tom Hank's movie Sleepless in Seattle, that's what I am talking about. On my spare time, I do photography of people and cars, but mainly cars as a hobby and side job.

In terms of the working being done, I have done pretty much all of the work myself with the exception of the installation of the short block.
With regards to who undertook the work, it was a good friend of mine Ryan Parshall at ‘The ModGarage Shop’ in 1144 Industry Dr Tukwila, WA, 98188. I would definitely recommend his work!
The Subaru was not my first car, in fact, my first car was a 1995 Dodge Caravan and I have most definitely had to build up to where I am now.
A project is never finished and I am always changing a few things around. My plan is to install a big turbo kit, big break kit, STI transmission swap with a bhp goal+ daily driven.

I have been participating in shows/events/meets every single year for the past 4 years. There is a lot to name, but the majority that happens in the Pacific Northwest here are: Hot Import Nights, Big Northwest, Clean Culture, Fitmint, and Import Faceoff.
What is my dream car? Ultimate question of all times, I would say it is an R34 Nismo Z-Tune GTR. Who doesn’t love a GTR!
