大熊猫 Impreza GF4

[Trix]

1997 Subaru Impreza L Sport Wagon (GF4)

This is my autocross battlewagon. I call it the "Panda Impreza." I purchased this back when I was in high school in 2003. I was a senior at the time. I bought it for $3900 with only 112k miles.

This was the beginning of my mod. I switched to clear corners, markers, bumper lights, and it still had the cloudy glass headlights.



Then I added some sideskirts and added more miles on the wagon since it is my auto-x car and daily driver.

I got a sickness called the "mod bug."

Here's pictures from the last few autocrosses of 2007. This is what it looks like today. Notice the sideskirts are gone. Autocross school and plowing sideways on cones caused the male connectors to break.








Yes I do have battle scars.
