Raising of the Panda (Subaru Content)

TheCarbonPanda · 10-25-2012, 01:54 AM

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.

Putting the engine together

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.

Fast Forward 2 more months and my car went back under the knife for its next big project.
in the meantime I was collecting parts.

The Project

First time I saw it finished

Later that night with my best friend Z RATED OKC

TheCarbonPanda · 10-25-2012, 03:01 AM

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

HIN was coming up and I wanted to do something cool for my modlist. Well my dad has 4 laser engravers so we started playing around with stuff. I know that I spelt some stuff wrong im over it.

right after it came out

The Final product! BTW if anyone wants one PM me and we can work something out.

This shot was take about and hour before we left to HIN

Taken right before the Texas line curtsy of Z RATED OKC. That Beautiful R33 belongs to our good friend Eric Strickland

We got to go in an hour and a half early with the 16NiSS guys.

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.
