Driving Sports Reports - Brandon's Badass Bugeye Subaru WRX

[BRlGUY]

SEX, all that can describe this

[thegarbear05]

hows the sti gauges go in a wrx

[ShawnSubaru]

2007 sti swap?? :O that's the best!

[AndyRock1]

its just so much money put into that

[boostaholic315]

makes me want another bugeye

[BluesSkillz]

damn, i wonder how much he invested in it?

[280Dominik]

Subaru is rally car! Buy supra for drag race...

[element509]

@280Dominik Still the best bang for the buck. A supra cost upwards 20k. The bugeye WRX runs at about 9k and under. Its still a better deal

[courtneyx12]

is it me or this dude just looks mad gay?

[andhuy]

What is the difference between a WRX and an STI?

[280Dominik]

@andhuy wrx has less power then sti and wrx has 2 diffs (rear and central), sti has 3 and central is adjustable! Sti also has stifer suspension and harder brakes! Thets roughly everything!

[ShawnSubaru]

@andhuy wrx is the mild performance version of the impreza, the sti is the all out bad ass. It has a bigger motor, better transmission, better brakes, interior, everything. The wrx to sti is like a dodge challenger r/t to a challenger srt8

[619fan14]

Bro u have the worlds best fucking Job !!!!

[am12sg]

Thanks to you, i have woken up from my stupor and will keep my bugeye instead of selling out for a 2011 wrx. build my motor instead!

[matrixx860]

talk less, drive more.

[HorsepowerHD]

SWEET ADD I HAVE TO WATCH BEFORE EVERY VIDEO ... FAGGET

[akagie]

just bought one of these haha time to build

[Honda42Racer]

love it. i have a 05 full sti swap in my 02 also (2.5, 6 speed) also cosworth 280 cams and 780cc injectors other than that just blot on but i cant wait tell next spring to c what it does on the dino :D

[michaelwaynef1]

I like how there is a GTR driving behind him @2:14

[truckie3200]

Where did he get that big COBB decal on the side. I want it........and how hard is it to do a full 07 drivetrain swap on an 02 i heard its a pain in that ass

[imdabitchtits]

mate you need a spoiler

[DDarkulic121]

where do i get that lip

or splitters whatever they are

[JMWorkz]

Bugeye WRX is the best generation! I know this cause I own one. =)

[afgandominator]

well the body is a wrx, lol everything else is just plain NASTY!

[poketehnoob]

@afgandominator i just thought that...

[MrMockeryMcFly]

bone stock WRX tranny? Sounds like a disaster.

[losvath]

@MrMockeryMcFly

he said he did a full 07 sti drivetrain swap into it, so it has an sti engine and transmission, sti trannys can hold a lot of power it wont be a disaster.....

[lxlscourgelxl]

on bone stock tranny?

[TheMitchBurnette]

i dont understand how this can still be called a wrx when everything outside of the tranny is ether sti or aftermarket. i have a silver 02 bugeye wrx and my car is not even close to this haha

[darkangelmnk]

how the fuck can anybody dislike this video?

[Tal3ris]

very conservative exhaust note for a built 2.5. is it an equal length header?

[halbedeutscher]

What kind of headlights are that? I think it's a great bugeye!

[5959512]

would you guys buy an 80k mile, unmolested bug eye??? idk about buying a used turbo car with higher miles

[eeeen321]

SUUUUUUPER awesome engine bay.... in freaking sane.

[screaminogre]

omg.............wow, just wow.

[sexwrex]

no comparison. AWD FTW!!!

[squantotheboywonder]

how are these compared to a neon srt-4? trying to decide between the two. dont say the neon sucks cause its a neon. i no its a neon and no it does not suck your just mad when it beats you...

[99STM]

@squantotheboywonder If you are so sure a gay ass Neon SRT4 will beat a Subaru, why are you asking which is better? You sound gay enough to buy a Neon, go for it.

[halofreak9900]

very nice car

[tacomanfan344]

Man. I will ALWAYS love Subies. I've recently caught the Bugeye bug, haha. That engine bay is PORN!

[Ge0vone]

The 'rumble' not a subaru, isn't that an insult to fans everywhere?

[ducks134]

2:16 its not everyday when u see two cars chasing each other and putting down 500+ hp

[Ch1town92]

o my word....

[whiteongoldwrx]

How did you get a STI gauge cluster to work in a 02 wrx ? i heard and have been told thats not possible ??? any help would be great! thanks guys

[BugEyeSubaru]

@KONGZILLAGOD1

This has a front mount intercooler, as opposed to the stock top mount. What you're seeing in place of the intercooler is the intake filter.

[rarityd]

bugeye forlife!!!  this is is subtle and deathly.

[TheSkylinegtrfreak]

very nice bug

[KONGZILLAGOD1]

IS UR SUBIES INTERCOOLER PAINTED BLACK OR IS IT A LIQUID COOLER ... I JUST DONT SEE WHERE IT IS

[datzDope]

Anybody else spot the GT-R at 2:15?

[rarityd]

@datzDope sorry No! i was too busy looking at that badass bugeye

[onafnno1]

"I daily drive it as much as possible"

yeah, right. It probably breaks down constantly with 24 psi

[LegendofShatteredSun]

@onafnno1

Just because it runs at 24 psi doesn't mean it's gonna break down unless you drive like a retard and are boosting it the whole time.

[sDcMoo]

woah woah did he say his trans is bone stock? for that much power?

[JCP3333333]

@sDcMoo no way that's a stock wrx tranny...I assume he swapped a stock STi tranny to go with that 2.5

[pete9289]

@JCP3333333 yeah he did, he said "full drive-train swap" in the video

[sDcMoo]

@JCP3333333 ha ha ok yea i relistened to the vid

[EATYOCHICKEN]

DEAR SANTA, FUCK YOU 4 NOT GETTIN ME A WRX LIKE I WANTED

[hardboiled89]

rich white boys and their toys

[Streetbikechamp]

@hardboiled89 poor niggers and their big wheels...

[hardboiled89]

@Streetbikechamp lol i aint a nigga =)

[bencano]

can someone please tell me what he put in place of his fog lights?

and how i can get my hands on a pair of those bad boys

[clancy2k]

thats a hot scooby

[Roadrash1991]

[DopeSoda]

How does it run on e85?

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

@DopeSoda e85 conversion. google it.

[tehrockk]

that thing is sick! bugeyes ftw

[malon341]

first at all, your car is great, a good job , smooth, but i have a question, why you didn't get an sti spec c?? with all the money you spent, you could get one!!, i also have an wrx and i would like to know the reasons to do this, i hope you can help me and find some good reason to don't sell my wrx and get an sti!!

thanks!!

[ShelbyMustang456789]

This car is the pure awsomeness...... Tuning like i love it. Not Cheap Show and shine. This is a Professional Drivers car. And a kind of sleeper. You see it is fast, but you dont expekt 500+ hp^^ Awsome

[Jameysince1990]

what yearsti cluster is that??

[heavyhands02]

Bug eye for life!!!

[J90lude]

I still want a bugeye subie

[MERRITTKEARNY]

@J90lude I will sell you an 03 with a rebuilt engine with 50k on miles on engine and 100k on body. $9000

[MrDevenob]

@J90lude i know i like the older models 04 05 06 07 ... the 08 09 were the ugliest in my opinion there kinda of getting better with the 11s but they look nothing like they use to

[IAMGONEWALKABOUT]

best bugeye iv seen so far

[antonfatin]

Great video and great car!

[jedwards09elmira]

1:24... I wanna beat your ass in slo mo so bad

[burningknuckle26]

love the bugeye!

[garyboi808]

booossssstttttttttttt thatt fawkaaa to 30psiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[bmw02Si]

pssssssssssssssssssst.

[olah002]

ZOMFG FAP FAP FAP

[01imprezawrx]

Nice ride U have I think my next car is going to be a WRX!

[JeeperZJ]

where did he get the front lip? all the ones i see for the 02's are extremely ugly and i really like how that one looks

[Wyatts3]

Surgeline iz one of my favorites, I really miss my '04 STi that Bailey tuned for me in '07. I had the 'Dent Whore' when Surgeline first started in PDX..Tim will remember the suspension and how it hooked up in the rain!

[Aretelk]

hey, what kind of headlights do you have for your bug eye.  i have stock and i want a totally different look. can you please tell me and what the cost is? thanks man, and btw, sweet ride.

[911discoinferno]

@Aretelk From the looks of it, they look like the JDM sti headlights. They look amazing but will typically cost 1,500-2,500 dollars

[Aretelk]

@911discoinferno cool, thanks. i guess i gotta save up for that very uncommon look! thanks again!

[polypolyman]

wait, "bone stock" transmission - stock for the '07 sti, right?

[ilolomax]

nice WRX!

[AndreVB7]

What drop did you do on the car Brandon? Front and back? Suspension? Tire and rim size? I love the ride!

[KevanB]

Just buy an evo and put a turbo kit on it for 10's, MUCH easier.

[style5tie]

@KevanB Right, but its an Evo not a WRX. Some people gotta have class man. 

[carveriscool]

To tell you the truth, I haven't liked the bug eyed Subie's till now.

[aspensubi28]

@carveriscool I think the bugeyes have the most personality

[gerra555]

WHATS UP SCOBBY BOYS



[badshah4u]

This is not a wrx sti it's a wrx jet turbo lol nice wheels I got a blobeye wrx 500bhp

[javiereo]

acabo de comprar uno !!! ojala llegue a algo parecido, un sueño !!!!!!

[domoxeva1]

This roo is the stuff that dreams are made off!!!! love the body cos Im a bugg eye bitch!!! All respect to you!! this is the dream I wish I could afford to turn my baby into!!!!!

[darkwatari]

all i have to say is DAMMMMMM

[bryjb10]

i sort of doubt he can obtain those hp and tq numbers on E85. Maybe with meth which is cheating a bit for a street car! My sti put out 380 WHP on 92 with a FPGreen 3 inch and the lack of torque until 3200 RPM was stupid.

[cobbtuning]

@bryjb10 E85 is very capable of those power numbers! An FPGreen is basically a smaller 30R so your numbers on 92 are about right. This is a 35R with the Tial exhaust housing, big cams and Cosworth heads. So already our power potential is much higher than a stock engine car, plus the Garett turbos flow much more air than the FP hybrids.

[chrisclynch]

im prolly gonna get a bunch of haters after this post but you guys work on any srt4's? what kinda cash did you have to throw down to make those kinda numbers?

[omg77787]

@chrisclynch "what kinda cash did you have to throw down to make those kinda numbers?" LOL

[robm425]

Damn running on E85...I thought turbo cars need to run on higher octane for best performance . I know my turbo volvo needs 91 at least

[toddlamp]

@robm425 E85 means 85% ethanol by volume.  The 85 does not indicate octane level as it does when talking about gasoline. While I don't know the proper calculation to determine the octane rating of E85 I know that it is a HIGHER rating than 93 octane gasoline.

[robm425]

@toddlamp Thanks I didn't know that

[melrich13]

Good Job! Come to Jamaica and Kick ass with that beast then go to the beach. lol

[gorrilaunit99]

im not have the fastest car but at least its reliable. happy 170,000 mile my little sonata :)

[vulpe888]

simply the best ! :D

[olisoleil]

Awesome.

[gravityhammer25]

that shits hot i love subarus and evos even though I dont have one :( im probably gonna end up getting a honda civic si hatchback they are slow as shit but then again its better than nothing

[Imagoodboy3]

(lifts hood) rush of blood to the genitals O.O

[kerkerone]

nice setup.. we are changing out theturbo for a smaller one. it has a complete rebuild from blockup. with custom.efi. we're getting around the same whp #s.. but with bigger turbo. it eats z06 for breakfast on the highway. nice work ... but now we are lookng for low end boost.. for the 1/4 miler

[kerkerone]

nice setup we built one with pistons, rod , crank ,valves and head, and custom buitl efi. , we r getting around 560 whp. but swapping out for a smaller turbn for. better low and mid range boost.. with the turbo we have now its only good for top end runs..zo6 for breakfast on the turnpike. nice work brah

[scrotch33]

beautiful

[ryanatiffany]

Nice POS! jk that things is boobies! A TON of work but that looks awesome! I'm jealous.

[Mecka20000]

Nothing special. make that kind of power with a stock location turbo and with out all that flashiness and then brag about it it.

[WhatTheFproductions]

I wish Mitsubishi would've made a lancer in the 2002 WRX price range that looks exactly like the evo. I would SO get that.

[jhaze918]

@Boogonomotry lol...subaru has been my shit for the longest....just insurance would kill my ass right now

[OQarei]

I Loooooooooove it

[combovergi]

my mate had 520whp it lasted 4000m and was shaged good luck with yours

[jhaze918]

thats 1 badass ride...subaru is for sure my next car

[frostedflake753]

shit this is good

[trrelic]

awesome rex! I drive an '03. out of all of the WRX models, I still think that the '02-03 body styles are the best! If I wrecked mine, I'd seek another 03 and rebuild it.

hit me up on the wrx forums sometime...relic74

[cmigneco]

Bugeyes are without any doubt the best looking wrxs. Awesome car.

[XenoRacing]

bug eye headlights are ugly and its built for drag.. oh the shame D:

[flawns]

hey sorry about this but i have no idea....if you full cage your car thats street illegal? what about minor interior stripping (weight reduction) let me know i had no idea.

[XenoRacing]

@flawns Rollcages are street legal and same with interior but in some provinces (like mine) and may vary in each state/province, but you cant register a car with stripped interior unless its being registered as a hot rod.

[dflunker420]

built subarus can easily handle that much boost

[MaxSpeedMedia]

One bad ass REX..... Few more months and mine will run circles around this one :)

[tzakos]

i want these parts in my wrx !

[RagSenien]

dude you have some serious issues

[blackmist27]

approx how much does a built motor like that cost? with out the turbo?

[taedom]

very nice. I wish I never got rid of my 02 WRX. It had 309 whp and the last of the last APS trans gears set. I too wanted a 10sec Subaru but had another child so 2 baby seats in the back got tight. Now I got a 06 Dodge Magnum SRT 8. Looking to do STS turbos in that one day.

[SmashedTV4U]

I love bug eyes.... currently building one too

[cold02rex]

too much drag spec Nice bugeye tho.

[Icachowda]

gorgeous

[STiRunner90]

i am picking my bug eye up today.

[mcglo]

24 lbs of boost? this thing has to break down all the time...

[photography1990]

2 words.

HOLY FUCK!

[medelucki1]

wish he would keep it the way it is :(

[Bogdan841]

all i have to say is I WANT ONE!!!

[MrGTR1988]

fucking nice car lots of power on WRX ! WOW

[crammage]

woot oregon!!

whats the gas mileage?

I WANT TO SEE YOU ON PASSTIME ON SPEED WITH THAT CAR!!

[nitroboyn2o]

random GT-R @ 2:14

[lowrthnu92]

@nitroboyn2o its probably Cobbs GT-R

[drivingsports]

@lowrthnu92 You are correct. We were shooting both cars that day. GT-R feature to follow next month.

[LeoYoungMusic]

@nitroboyn2o need it to keep up haha

[BORIBORIPR]

change d rims, car luks hot..,

[porsche558]

Style wise I think the 06 - 07 Impreza's are the best looking. I love my-07. However having said that Brandon's Bug eye is way more bad ass than my hawk eye. LOL!!! Nice car Brandon, sounds so sweet!

[suprakilzz26]

hahaha hella supertones...

[plorwax]

looks really nice

[dirtyimprezadotcom]

I like how there's a huge COBB sticker on the side but no mention of COBB parts on the car. Brandon that was a missed shoutout opportunity for them! Either way, nice ride... id rather see it on the road course than the drag strip...

[BanglishBoy]

i jizzed a lil bit..

[whyximxhott]

they need to show him running it at the strip. Nice car for sure

[Rustomdaman]

now it needs a bad ass paint job

[giannicabiglio]

I <3 Subaru's!

This Bugeye is absolutely perfect!!
