From Parking Lots to Partnerships

Boosted by Trust: How 845Subie Teams Up with the Best in the Subaru Underground

If the Subaru scene were a late-night diner, 845Subie would be the corner booth filled with turbo chatter, half-empty energy drinks, and someone explaining That same community-first mindset is exactly why 845Subie works closely with aftermarket companies that actually get the Subaru lifestyle. Not hype-chasers. Not copy-paste brands. We’re talking about companies built on quality, consistency, and showing up for the scene long before it was trendy.

Two names stand out in that partnership lane: Overtake USA and Subimods.

Let’s talk about why.

845Subie: Built in the Trenches, Not the Boardroom

845Subie didn’t start as a marketing idea—it started the way all real car communities do: parking lots, back roads, group chats, broken knuckles, and “bro I swear it’s just a small Boost leak.”

Rooted in the underground Subaru culture of the 845 area and beyond, the club focuses on:

• Grassroots meets (rain or shine, usually rain)

• Supporting local builds, not just big-budget ones

• Respecting the hustle of daily-driven cars that still see redline on weekends

So when 845Subie aligns with aftermarket companies, it’s not about logos—it’s about shared values. If a brand doesn’t live the culture, it doesn’t get the nod.

That’s where Overtake USA and Subimods come in.

Overtake USA: From the Scene, For the Scene

Overtake USA is one of those brands reborn with a whiteboard full of ideas and zero interest in cutting corners.

Their history is deeply tied to:

• Japanese motorsports inspiration

• Driver-focused parts

• Clean, functional aesthetics that don’t scream for attention—but still turn heads

Overtake isn’t about flashy nonsense. It’s about quality parts and apparel that represent car culture honestly. Their gear feels like it was made by people who actually:

• Go to meets

• Track their cars

• Know the pain of ordering a part that almost fits

For 845Subie, that authenticity matters. Overtake supports the same underground energy—build first, flex later. Whether it’s track-inspired designs or community involvement, they don’t just sell a lifestyle… they participate in it.

Also, let’s be honest: their stuff looks good without needing a 600hp dyno sheet to back it up. 845subie has not only embraced the company but the People that run it. Art, Owen, Doug and Justin are all considered friends of so many members outside of operations and have become part of the Subiefest Family traveling with Joe D to all of the events. Highly regarded as one of the highlights of the Events on and off hours.

Subimods: The Subaru Encyclopedia That Ships Fast

If Overtake is the soul, Subimods is the backbone.

Subimods has been a staple in the Subaru aftermarket world for years, and their reputation wasn’t built overnight. They earned it by doing three things really well:

1. Specializing in Subaru onlyNo guessing games. No “this might fit.” If it’s on Subimods, it’s meant for your car.

2. Supporting every level of buildFrom bone-stock daily drivers to full-blown track monsters, Subimods doesn’t gatekeep. You want OEM+? Cool. You want “my neighbors hate me”? Also cool.

3. Being present in the communityEvents, partnerships, social engagement—Subimods doesn’t just sell parts, they help keep the Subaru scene alive and evolving.

For a club like 845Subie, Subimods is the go-to because they understand urgency. When someone blows a coupler the night before a meet, Subimods is the friend who says, “Yeah, we got that.”

Probably with overnight shipping. Brake pads showed up with lightning shipping without paying extra, they are that good when the conditions are right, you get your parts.

Why These Partnerships Work (No Contracts, Just Respect)

The reason 845Subie works with companies like Overtake USA and Subimods isn’t complicated—it’s mutual respect.

• 845Subie represents the real, unfiltered Subaru crowd

• Overtake USA represents passion-driven creativity

• Subimods represents reliability and deep Subaru knowledge

Together, it’s a loop:Community → Quality Brands → Better Builds → Stronger Community

No fake influencers. No forced branding. Just people who care about the cars, the culture, and the late nights spent chasing perfection one bolt at a time.

Final Pull

At the end of the day, Subaru culture has always been about more than cars. It’s about showing up, helping each other wrench, and laughing when something inevitably breaks.

845Subie works with aftermarket companies like Overtake USA and Subimods because they don’t just sell to the scene—they belong to it.

And honestly? That’s way better than any sponsorship banner.

Now excuse us while we argue about oil weights again.

Boosted by Trust (Part II): Because Every Party Needs Kartboy and Company23

If the Subaru aftermarket scene were a house party, 845Subie already invited Overtake USA and Subimods—and now things are really getting good because Kartboy and Company23 just pulled up. One brought precision-machined parts, the other brought torque specs and authority. Everyone’s happy.

Let’s continue the story.

Why 845Subie Only Rocks With the Real Ones

845Subie doesn’t partner with brands just because they’re popular. Popular fades. Proven doesn’t.

The club thrives in the underground Subaru world—the place where:

• Builds happen over time, not overnight

• Reliability matters more than clout

• If a part fails, everyone remembers

That’s why companies like Kartboy and Company23 fit perfectly into the 845Subie ecosystem. These brands didn’t chase the scene—they helped build it.

Kartboy (Not “Katboy" autocorrect likes to use)

Kartboy is basically Subaru aftermarket royalty. If you’ve ever owned a WRX, STI, or BRZ and said, “What’s the first mod I should do?”—someone, somewhere, yelled “Kartboy End Links and spacers, exhaust extenders, shifter bushings and short shifter LOL ” before you finished the sentence.

Founded in the late 1990s, Kartboy built its reputation on:

• Precision-machined components we have had on our cars tested for over 18 years!!

• Simple parts that make a huge difference

• Products that just work… forever and Forever!

No gimmicks. No flashy marketing. Just solid aluminum, tight tolerances, and parts that feel like Subaru should’ve done it this way from the factory.

For 845Subie, Kartboy represents that old-school grassroots energy:

• Affordable

• Effective

• Built by enthusiasts who care how the car feels, not just how it looks

If your shifter feels crisp, your exhaust hangers don’t flop, and nothing rattles when you hit boost—there’s a good chance Kartboy had something to do with it.

Company23: The Adults in the Room LOL (But Still Cool)

Now let’s talk about Company23—the brand that shows up with torque wrenches, factory service manuals, and the calm confidence of someone who’s done this a lot.

Company23 is legendary for:

• Subaru-specific specialty tools we have all had for over 19 Years now!

• Engine assembly components

• Solutions for problems most people didn’t even know had solutions like a Bottle opener shaped like a Cam tool!

They’re the reason many Subaru engines:

• Get assembled correctly

• Stay together under boost

• Don’t become very expensive coffee tables

Company23 was founded on a simple but powerful idea: Subaru engines deserve better tools and better engineering. Their products are used by:

• Professional race teams

• High-end engine builders

• Hardcore DIY enthusiasts who refuse to cut corners

For 845Subie, Company23 represents the “do it right the first time” mentality. They support the side of the scene that doesn’t always get Instagram glory—but keeps cars alive.

And honestly, anyone who saves Subaru owners from stripped bolts and timing disasters deserves a standing ovation.

How It All Comes Together

So now the full lineup looks like this:

• 845Subie – The community heartbeat

• Overtake USA – Culture, style, and motorsports inspiration

• Subimods – The parts lifeline and Subaru knowledge hub

• Kartboy – Feel-good OG mods that never go out of style

• Company23 – Precision, reliability, and engine-saving sanity

Each brand plays a role. None of them fake it. All of them show up.

That’s why these partnerships work—not because of contracts or hype—but because everyone involved respects the underground, grassroots Subaru scene that built them.

Final Boost

The Subaru world isn’t about who spent the most—it’s about who put in the time.

845Subie works with aftermarket companies like Overtake USA, Subimods, Kartboy, and Company23 because they all share the same philosophy:

Build smart. Support the community. Respect the culture.

Now if you’ll excuse us, someone just said “It’s probably just a Boost leak,” and that means the hood’s coming back up.
