- No script, no teleprompter, just you and me. The channel has been around for a bit. After doing the live stream I always thought it was a cool idea to share more of myself and who I am with my subscribers and friends. I dont want to be known as just the guy who races cars on the internet. Theres definitely more to me and why I do what I do. Ill always love the 2022 WRX and will love all Subarus and cars in general. Theres a lot of my history that makes up who I am today and I am happy to share that with you in this video.

I hope you enjoy the HeavyMetalWRX lore.🤘
Man Awais. I know your dad would be proud of you for what you’ve accomplished lately. Now I understand your drive for consistent uploads and being in the forefront for the VB. Good shit! 🤘🏿
Thanks bro, I just want to give something my all for once, ya know.
Thanks for sharing a little about yourself man! I feel like I'm listening to a friend just hanging out talking cars and other things every now and then. Happy to be a part of the channel and watch it grow!
That's exactly how I want it to be! I'm glad to have your support. I know my personality and it will always feel like this, whether we have 100 subs or 100 million. To me community comes first. 🤘🙏
Your such a great content creator and thank you for sharing your story brother❤️. Your dad would be extremely proud with how far you’ve gotten as far as RUclips and overall good person🤝
Thank you so much! 🤘🙏
I didn’t realize that you and I had things in common as a child I’ve enjoyed your channel and your videos but man! Being a kid and moving to a new country myself I find a lot of what you just spoke about very familiar and similar in my life! Respect to you! Mad love!
Good story teller u should make more vids like this
Hahah don't tempt me, I have millions of stories and I'll talk for hours 🤣🤣
Really nice video, thanks for opening up about yourself and letting us know more about the man behind the channel. Interesting that you are in IT, I'm looking to get a WRX myself in the next month or so, and I also work in IT. I also work with someone that already owns a '21 WRX. Starting to wonder if there is a pattern here!
Awesome video man. You're a really cool dude trying to help build a better community! I also work in IT... 20+ years. I would love to create a channel and content. Just seems to be rough moving forward when I am used to easy lol.
Thanks for telling your story.
Cars help tell a story. I love to hear about the who, what, where, when, how & why that surrounds them.
Yea I always find it interesting when people tell car stories. It's like old songs, it illicit memories of past and you can sometimes see the emotion on their faces.
Nice to learn a little more about you. As the son of an immigrant with an uncommon name, I 100% understand people constantly asking g how to pronounce your name. Great video!
It's something that bothered me when I was a kid but as an adult I embrace and enjoy it. My favorite thing to do is order food at a restaurant where they ask for names. I usually don't spell it and then watch the server come out with a confused look on their face as they try to read the name. If they stare at the paper for at least 5 seconds, chances are it's for me 🤣🤣
Cool stuff. Thanks for the vids, man
That’s a great story man. Same story here only mine came from the old country.Sounds like you had a good relationship with your dad. Mine was always working. It really doesn’t matter where you’re from but who you have become. Great content man.
I hear you. My dad did work all day everyday. In The beginning it was hard because he wasnt around, but for good reason. Our family needed to survive and it was his responsibility. Our relationship definitely developed more when I was in my 20s, sadly I made some mistakes that kept us from being closer, but I still miss him. That's why I try to do better for myself and my daughter's sake.
Awais - the maker of spicy Facebook posts 😂😂😂 Appreciate the video and insight into some of your background 🔥💪
Man that Facebook drama kind of made me upset at first. But then I thought if they are that upset at me it must mean I'm making splashes and I'm getting known. 🤷♂️
I love you man. You are awesome.
Haha thank you for the support! 🤘🙏
@@HeavyMetalWRX Logan, Dylan, and Marcson all say hello and we love you buddy.
@@MK-xd5wg OMG MARRRRRKKKK. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I MISS YOU GUYS 🤘
I love your story. Keep making videos. They're my favorite.
I appreciate your support! Maybe I will do more stories in the future.
You had me at "I love heavy metal"
Hell yea, welcome to the channel 🤘
You find the best ways to connect with your viewers. Love the channel and hearing some background about your life. Rock on man🤟🏼🎸🎮🚀
Community is the most important thing. I know when RUclipsrs get bigger it's harder to engage. Idk how big I'll ever get but if I set the groundwork between us now I think it'll be easier in the future to stay connected and keep that communication open.
Such a cool dude. Thanks for being transparent to your audience. Keep up the content!
Of course! I appreciate you coming by and giving me the chance to BE transparent. It's a two way street, I believe. I can't do what I do without you. 🤘🙏
Thanks for sharing my fellow 1985 brother. Love the content as always.
Oh man '85 gang! Thanks for supporting me through this journey. It's only the beginning. 🤘🙏
Good to hear your story.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sticking around the channel. It means a lot. 🤘🙏
Inspiring story!! WRX VB MT owner from Australia who born in 1987, My wife and my two kids all love this car! I've been following your channel since you got your VB. Keep up the great content!
Wow thank you for the support! You are definitely the true WRX owner! My daughter LOVES my car and all the pops! 🤘🙏
I ended up buying my VB on kind of a whim. Spent some time researching the platform on here and ended up stumbling upon your channel. The amount of content for the VB platform is absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work!
Glad you found your way! I'm not a big shop or tuner but I do what I can to help further the research and fun factor of this car! Hope you enjoy what I have so far. There's way more to come. 🤘
Great content! Sorry for the loss of your father, I know he would be proud. Thanks for sharing about yourself!
Thank you for your support 🤘🙏. I like to hope that he is as well. I made a lot of mistakes growing up. 🤣
@HeavyMetalWRX making mistakes are a part of growing older, you're 2 years older then me I turned 36 last month. I'm sure your dad is proud of everything your doing and how you've grown as well. Keep on rockin!
Awesome I lost my father as well at the age of 9 I know how hard it is I wish I would’ve been able to have known him a lot longer unfortunately he wasn’t here to teach me much or give me guidance so it’s been hard but I’m glad you’re holding up strong. Awesome car by the way I’m also trying to get a white 22 VB Love the white on black contrast I Work full time and I’m full time in college the WRX is a car I’ve always wanted so why not go for it and try to be happy ! 💯
Thank you for sharing your story. My wife has lost her dad, and many cousins in my family have also lost parents. So I knew from proxy but you never truly understand until it's your parent. I'm glad your doing ok and you didn't let that stop you from growing as a person.
I fully support your decision for a WRX! You'll love it! 🤘
Great video. I feel like your a good neighbor, just 100s of miles away. I know how you feel about your Dad. Even at 70 years old, there are still times when I think, “what would my dad think (or do)” Keep the videos coming. Thanks
Haha wow thank you! I appreciate the support. For the most part we are all in the same boat. Just enjoying our vehicles and seeing what releases. I'm glad to have shared my journey with you. 🤘🙏
Awais, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos and I’m glad you took the time to back fill a bit of who you are and how you came to this venue. I’m a bit of a late bloomer to the performance car scene. I didn’t want to be the mid life guy who got a Porsche, but I’ve always wanted a sports car of some sort that wasn’t pretentious. Have had a ton of race bikes but never tracked them. Got a 22 WRX almost on a whim and then stumbled into the world of modifications. This is where you have inspired me and it’s been a blast. I’m tuned and stage 1+ with an ETS intake. Putting out 317 whp on 93 octane and 341 torque. This car is a boat load of fun! Thank you so much for your content. I love your story and your nature.
Thank you so much for the support! This is exactly how I felt. I knew I wanted a WRX since I was in high school. I knew it wasn't going to happen till I got a house and a garage. That was my "adult" car. Thankfully it became such a fun car to mod. I'm glad you found the channel and inspiration. It really is a fun car to drive 🤘
Thanks for your amazing content. You make me really enjoy the WRX content and make me want to make the terrible financial decision of buying one.
You'd be surprised it's actually not a bad financial decision at all! The car is incredible, it's reliable and fun. Come join us! 🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX Maybe in a months when my insurance drops(they said). As of now I got quoted $100 more/mo to add a WRX… I’ll watch your videos for now 😂
@@jimmypena2442 dude my insurance went up $40 when I got the new WRX. I was pretty surprised but maybe my local insurance guy watches the channel 🤣
I like your videos!
Thank you for your support! 🤘🙏
Hey dude I love your videos man. I know they're going to continue to get better over time. Maybe we could race some time I live in so-cal
Thank you! I do like the idea of going on road trips to different events around the US. My wife , on the other hand, is not as much a fan of it 🤣
yooo shoutout orlando 😂 you’re a legend dawg!! keep doing your thing
Man 10 years I spent in Orlando. I'll be back for Subiefest FL this October. Keep an eye out! 🤘🙏
The man the myth the legend!
Haha no myth or legend , yet. Just a man 🤘🤣
From the start I knew it was spelled Awais and you were from Pakistan. 😂 j/k. Thanks for this! I was close on your name and it’s great getting to know your story. Keep making them vids!🎸
Thanks so much! As long as you keep watching, I'll keep making 🤘🙏
THE LORE IS DEEEEEP
Haha we got a bit past the surface level on this one 🤣
Awaits those stock breaks are killing me with the wheels. It's time for STI calipers 😊.
Haha I actually got an upgrade for that coming. Ecotech has access to many STi Brembos and was able to get me a nice pair. Now we just have to figure out how to install them.
I had a feeling you were either indian or Pakistani, from a brother across the border I love watching your videos. You're very personable and I binge watch your channel even though I have an Elantra N and I'm not planning on parting with it. Sorry to hear about your dad, but it's very endearing how you honor his memory. I'm grateful for that story, and I understand that immigrant life, my dad's passion to this day is working 😅
Hahaha man, my dad would have worked till he was old. Immigrant parents seem to only know one thing. I'm glad you are enjoying your time here haha. That's all I want is to bring people together over their love for cars ya know.
Awesome video, I do the same thing with my videos too, if you watch cool if not that’s cool too. My videos are of me playing hockey. I thought about doing Twitch with playing my drums to songs but it’s hard with family and kids, same with just filming my hockey games you know the editing and stuff like that. Keep up the good work 🤘
Yes sir, it all takes time, like all hobbies. But like my wife says, if you really want to do it and make something happen you'll put in the time. This is something I really want and I've put plenty of time and money into it. When I see comments like the ones on this video it shows me that I'm going in the right direction. Thank you for supporting the channel. 🤘🙏
Toyota Tercel been a minute since I've seen one those things were tanks!
Whew mine was a tank before I got it. Then it decided it's life was over 🤣🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX 🤣🤣
Can't lie the thumbnail go hard
Haha yes! This is a vision I had and my friends allowed me to use their cars. We have an awesome garage here in St Louis we take pictures in. So we made this happen.
Nice to learn about you. My name is Maksym I'm from Ukraine. If you are ever in South FL let your followers know. It would be cool to meet and greet. I will show you around Ft. Lauderdale.
Nice to meet you Maksym! I used to live in Orlando and I will definitely be making it out to Subiefest FL in Daytona. Maybe we can all meet there later this year 🤘🙏
It was really cool hearing your story. You have awesome content! I am also in IT! I’m a recent graduate with only 3 years software engineering/developer under my belt. What exactly is your position in IT?
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've done so many things. I get bored easy. I've been in helpdesk, desktop supportt, server support, I've been a project manager, exchange admin, teams admin, FTP team lead, onsite tech manager. Right now I am kind of a team lead for my team and I applied to be a scrum master just last week. So
Thanks for sharing. Been watching for a few months now. After this I feel like I know you! I've got a 22 cvt so no tuning for me. But it's still inspiring to watch your content! On a side note, how long you been playing guitar?? Cheers
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support and that you've been enjoying the channel. I realized when I was editing that I barely talked about the music portion 😭. I started playing in 2009 but I REALLY learned how to play in 2016. I am self taught so everything I do is kind of jank. Haha
Cool background story. Sorry your Mazda floated away. That’s probably better than having an S209 catch on fire after hitting a deer. But aside from listing all the cars you’ve owned in your video. I’m kinda curious about how you came up with your RUclips name. We’re you always interested in metal since the days of the Corolla/Tercel eras or was it a recent new found love. My interest in metal was kinda recent. All my life I had no interest in metal. I was more into top 40 pop tunes on the radio. Around the beginning of the pandemic, I started listening to Kpop(BTS, Blackpink, Twice). I soon discovered a Kpop group called Dreamcatcher that mixed Kpop with light rock. After watching all of their music videos, the RUclips algorithm would recommend other Asian style rock music. That’s how I got into Japanese rock and metal music. Band-maid, Babymetal, Nemophila, Maximum the Hormone, and One OK Rock are currently my favorite Japan rock and metal bands. I saw Band-maid at Chicago house of blues last year and plan on seeing them again this year in Nashville. I missed the One OK Rock tour they did with Muse and Evanescence. Hope to catch them next time they tour the states. And I plan on seeing Babymetal/Dethklok in Vegas this fall.
I know dude, I saw the post about your car on STL Subie's 😭. When I finished the video and I was editing I felt like such a doofus because I barely touched on the metal part! There's a great bit from my live stream where I actually explained my metal origin story haha. I'll have to find it and link it to you. So for me it was way back in high school. I first heard HIM and Lacuna Coil and was like WHAT IS THIS. More rock than metal at that time but I used to watch Fuse and Headbangers Ball for all the nu metal and alternative rock bands. It wasn't until I got the first Guitar Hero that I heard Bark at the Moon. At the same time I had bought my first guitar too. So it all kind of came together. but Man after that it was a LOOOOOOONG road of catching up. I started with Black Sabbath and Dio and then just took it from there. Hit all the 70s, 80s, metal. To this day it's my favorite genre and I have hit up as many concerts as I can. I saw Dethklok was coming and I REALLY want to go. Also GOJIRA is going to be at The Factory and that's one of my favorite bands. Id love to talk more metal with you!
@@HeavyMetalWRX so far my metal experience is mostly Japanese artists. I’m slowly tip toeing into American metal. So I’d love to talk metal with you but I’m kinda of a newcomer to the genre so don’t know much. I’ve only heard of dethklok only because Babymetal is touring with them.
Cool vid, been thinking about starting a channel myself lol what camera/mic do you use?
Thanks! I originally used my insta360 4k cam but it actually wasn't very good in any situation where there isn't a bright light. Now I use my wife's 10 year old DSLR and a rode 2 wireless mic. I have a nice gimbal but it's way to heavy to hold one hand. This camera doesn't have stabilization. I would say get a nice used dslr within the last 5 years. This way you can take good pictures too.
Yoo what’s the information on your wheels they look great!
These are Vors TR4 18x9.5 +22. Spoiler alert...you're actually the first person to hear this but..I got new wheels 😏🤫
Lol my dad was in on buying you that Tercel 🤣
It's about time you commented again 🤣🤣
1985 brotha
Hell yea! '85 gang!
can you upload some riffing on the guitar?
Yes! I realized I didn't talk enough about the metal aspect! I will be doing another video about my cameras and the music. Stay tuned! 🤘
Oasis without the "is" at the end.
That's another good way to say it!
Your story sounds very familiar. Except my parents came from the Ukraine and i was 15 years old. Sorry to hear about your dad. He would have been proud of your path.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad my story is relatable. I think we forget as we grow older, the US has a lot of immigrants. My best friend is from Bosnia and moved to the US in '98 when the drama became really bad. It happens for a reason and sometimes we move to a better life. 🤘🙏
ZINDABAD 🇵🇰
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD! Except Pakistan hasn't been doing well for a while 🤣😭
YOOOOO my man
It's Friday night...there's no racing in this video...and It's 17 minutes of me talking....LETS GO 🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX im 8 minutes in brother. Love me some back story.
You mean Transparency?
Uh oh, did I make another flub? 🤣
