Raising of the Panda (Subaru Content)

First off my car is a 2002 Subaru WRX, all my Friends call my car the Carbon Panda so I embrase it. My dad on the other hand call it the Fu** UP Deluxe. ;)
Here is a little back ground info. I bought the car in 2010 when I was a JR in highschool. Everything that could possibly go wrong with a car went wrong. It has been a knock down drag out process with everything. Thats Why I appreciate it so much.

So shortly after breaking the engine in, the trans decided to Grenade itself. 5 months later and spending every cent I had a 6 speed and a new set of brakes.

Old Trans Vs New one

This is when I ran into another problem the new trans was way more wide, therefore an entire new downpipe and up pipe would have to be fabbed :(
you can see how close the turbo would be to the bell Housing. Just another bump in the Road.

The next morning I got one of my personal favorite mods on the headliner.

Had a great time that weekend.

If everything works out right I will have a photo shoot next month on the 20th that I will post.
I am now sponsored by GrimmSpeed and Boomba Racing. I cant speak highly enough about these two companies. They have helped me so much in a short amount of time. I highly recommend them to anyone. I will speak more on them individually when parts come in and I get them installed.
I have some HUGE plans for this little Subaru in the next 6 months. I will be sure to keep everyone posted feel free to ask any questions. Hope you guys like what you see.
