BoxerRumblesSTi's PSM 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Well I was checking out my buddy Emsmap's build thread on NASIOC and decided to make my own. I bought my bugeye back in October 2008. Bone stock and adult owned. Used to be a kennel car, so the only problem with it was dog hair in the car. This car was one of my dream cars and since its paid off, will be in my car collection forever and now in my dreams forever. The car has seen the drag strip a few times and also been in some car shows. Best place in car show was 2nd place Best Subaru out of 9 Subarus at a Baltimore car show. Best run at the track is 12.9 @ 103 mph with the mods I had on it. In this thread will be a few different "Chapters or Sections"

2) ***When I First Bought The Car***
October 2008

3) ***The Accident***
July 2009

Basically what happened here is I was driving home from a car meet. Speed limit was 40 and I was doing 30. A guy just pulled out in front of me and then stopped right in the middle of the road. No warning or turn signals what so ever. Police saw it all happen. For me it was either lock up my brakes and mash him completely, swerve and hit a truck head on and probably not be here today to write this, or do as I did and swerve after the truck had passed. Luckily the airbags did not pop.

*** 6) Death of my Subaru ***

I was driving one night, and a preganant deer ran out in front of me at 40 mph and totaled my car. I had full coverage insurance, but I called them and dropped it to Comprehensive (which covered deer and trees falling on it) while I took it to Andrewtech to get the upgraded trans put in. I called the claim in that night and they said I was on Liability and NOT Comprehensive. I couldn't take them to court because I changed it on the phone, there was no proof that I changed it or what not.

 

[BAD STI]

So sad.... Sorry for your loss. What are your plans now?

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Plan now is to sell my 1996 Bagged S10 and im looking at buying a 2005 STi.

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Thanks buddy. Yeah the 04-05 is my favorite bodystyle but the 05 has all the better parts and what not. Trans, motor, 5x114 wheels and more. I did go to Annapolis Subaru and test drove the 2011 STi and its NASTY. The body is sexy too.

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Most def. I run my own business and can get parts easy.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Wait a minute! The 04 is the rawest, lol. I just love saying that. Any STi you get will be awesome. Sorry for your loss, but glad you found us.

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Yeah, I just can't wait to see what the future holds though. Ya know. As with scrapping, it's just the trend. If its not broke, why break it. lol

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Well the car is sold now, BUT do stay tuned because another subaru will be in the works. Also hey now, just cuz I have my own business, don't mean anything . Ill still support other biz. Gotta help out everyone. I wouldnt be where I am today without the help of other businesses.

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Hopefully within the next few months. I know it seems like a long time, but I have to get everything situated for it. I do know, it should be here before June's AWD Ocean City Maryland Meet (in conjunction with Funkmaster Flex OC Car Show)

 

[FL4TTURBO]

i want a new one in the worst way

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

There is a new one sitting here at Annapolis Subaru. White too, shoot it's sexy haha.

 

[FL4TTURBO]

i sat in a DGM one back in september and that did it for me.....life hasnt been the same since lol

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Ok so I finally got my video converted, and ill be adding more of my runs at the drag strip as well. Here is the video of me doing doughnuts in the Blizzard of 2010. We had about 2 feet of snow fall, I trecked through it easily. This was back I think Jan or Feb 2010. After seeing this video, I miss my car. (FEW NOTES: Sounds like I stalled it when it gets quiet at end and lights cut off, but I was off the gas, and turning the lights on and off, and the squeel at the end was the belt getting wet, nothing more. Car was fine.)

 

[JJBTEXAS]

nice.:lol:

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

Ok SO here are the 2 Videos of my WRX (Yes WRX) beating 06 STi. Mods at the time of THESE races were TurboXS Catless Turboback, TurboXS Short Ram Intake, Cobb V2 AccessPORT w/ Base Cobb stage 2 tune. Im in FAR LANE for both Races.

 

[jswansti]

Nice!! I like em.

 

[toomes]

Wait a minute! The 04 is the rawest, lol. I just love saying that. Any STi you get will be awesome. Sorry for your loss, but glad you found us.

We know you like it rawdog

 

[IGOTASTi]

LOL, yep for sure! Anyways nice video Boxer.

 

[HolyCrapItsFast]

Impressive! The STi must have had flat tires. :lol:

JK!

 

[BoxerRumbleSTi]

hahaha Shows just because you have an STi don't mean your fast. I mean hell, I had only Turboback, Intake, and base tune on the car (spent total of 1600 dollars) to beat an STi. Add it up. I paid 7 grand for car and spent 1600 on mods. That's pretty much a $8600.00 STi hahahaha. Not to mention, Driver mod
