The 15-Year Slumber: My DIY WRX Restoration Journey

When I was young, I loved cars, but after getting married and raising children, I no longer had the time or money to devote to it, so I left my WRX STI in the barn.
Recently, I've had a little more free time, so I'm challenging myself to get my broken-down WRX STI working again, little by little, with some DIY work on the weekends.
I'm just an amateur with no knowledge of cars, so I'll be researching and doing my research as I go, and it will all take trial and error, so I hope you'll be lenient with me.

若い頃車が好きだったけど、結婚や育児で時間やお金が掛けられなくなり当時乗っていたＷＲＸＳＴＩを納屋に放置しました。
　最近少し時間が取れるようになってきたので、動かなくなったＷＲＸＳＴＩを、週末に少しづつＤＩＹで動くようにチャレンジです。
　僕はクルマの知識もないただの素人で、調べながら試行錯誤しながらやっていきますので大目にみていただけると嬉しいです。

I replaced the plugs on my WRXSTI after leaving it alone for 15 years.

The WRX STI engine won’t start. The starter turns and the engine cranks, but the engine won’t star...

The spark plugs on my WRXSTI had turned completely black, so I checked the fuel filter and found that clean gasoline was being sent to it!

The The WRX STI engine, which had been left unused for 15 years, wouldn’t start easily.
