Swagon - The Ultimate 400hp Family wagon!

in #cars7 years ago

I landed up buying a completely standard Subaru Impreza WRX Bugeye wagon and soon realized that I needed more!

At 169kw and 300nm the WRX wagon is no slouch, however I've always been a fan of expressing my self through vehicle modifications. For one it gives me a sense of satisfaction and two it obviously fuels my burning passion for speed and power!

Humble Beginnings

She sounds demonic!

Sadly I ran a bearing and melted a piston. This landed up being my 9th and final Subaru, I sold it at a massive loss with a broken engine. I miss the comfort and the mass amount of luggage space. Grocery shopping will never be the same again!

i love it how you took care of the brakes first instead of the horsepower!!! nice build bro! sad to hear it broke down in the end

Goto do your safety first bro hehe :)

Hm... what you need to do now is get the front clip from out of a Saab 9-2X and put it on there, then it'll be perfect, and maybe some of the interior :P

Your bloody obsession with the Saab makes me feel ill! :D

Pity they always hella overpriced on Scamboom... :(

Fast wagons are the best!

I like your exhaust, i wish to have one like that jejejee. (Nice car)

It was super loud, I miss it!
