- There's one particular car that gets the juices of Subaru fan boys bubbling and that is a 2 Door STI. Not to be confused with the highly collectable and way more expensive 22B, this Version 5 STI is the newest addition to the Mighty Car Mods Garage, it's far from perfect, which makes it perfect to modify! Today we take it for a test drive around the track.

Marty drove this car past my school a couple months ago and it was the coolest thing ever
study hard
Mighty Car Mods just for you guys I will
@@mightycarmods lol
He wasn't in a white van was he?
A ford Sierra cosworth drove past my school
90's Engineer: Is the immobilizer working?
Owner: Yes, now how do I turn it off?
90's Engineer: If its working you have no problem.
literally hahaha
Pretty much haha
Fuuuck, i did not want to remember that. I've modded them out of every car i've owned, swapped them with something more crude and mechanical. Those were the fucking worst. Espectially in the late 90's when they "thought" they had it right and just about every car manufacturer that had them, went full send and pissed in their own fucking pants. FUuuuck.
aserta yep, when next doors having a root would set your alarm off
Congrats man! One of my dream Subaru
3 seconds into first gear " feels pretty good" Marty's face looks like he has got the present he has always wanted..
not the biggest subbie fan, and even I would cream myself if that thing was in my driveway
Type x incoming
Few mins later: "This stupid PoS and its alarm system!!" :P
😂
Subaru take note! The look/shape of this era models are 😍 everyone misses these
The new models feel like the refreshed version of the mean eye chasis

hopefully thats his new car

BRZ basically is the new S chassis.
"But uh... I preferred a Nissan that smell of bong smoke, sweat and soy sauce"
Hahah
Ayaaaaaqq
Focus on the Bong smoke
TayTay reference, it's a shame that it's gone.
The sweat usually comes from the police chase because you have bong smoke lingering in the car.
Um,this isnt from experience......
Why the fuck would you put soy sauce anywhere near your car by the way?
@@MrSardine23 Bout that sushi life
If Moog gets a gtfour, I'm going to wee.
Hopefully it has enough automotive archaeology so they could call it Project Stinky

Always wanted one of those
Omg yes but they didn’t enjoy the 3sgte in the Mr2 so maybe not. Maybe a pulsar gtir

I’m telling you these are amazing but the alarm is shit
@@Ayeitsscott Yes it did!
In all my years watching mighty car mods, this is the first I'm seeing Marty and Moog bought the same brand of car in a season. Happy to see this milestone.
im not even sure I've ever seen Marty this happy (apart from when he got SuperTurbo). ok, two times Ive seen Marty this happy 😅
@@mrmcbeardy9268/videos Marty has been happy on several occasions. I'd say happy and excited and Moog isn't pouring pasta water over it. It's the combo that shines it up.
A twinge of sadness when you mentioned Possum Bourne. He passed away too soon.....
RIP Possum.
What a SICK Subie though wow.
Thankfully his shop still goes on strong, take my Subie and my honda there. They're probably the best shop in the country

I remember trying to take a girl out on a date when my WRX immobiliser reared its ugly head. Best tow truck ride ever. Thanks, Subaru.
you must know nothing about cars because subaru has some of the best automotive engineering to date world wide.. ive driven a 1997 outback legacy wagon 5 speed with well over 300,000 miles on it when i lost an exhaust valve merging onto the freeway.. (my fault as i dumped a ton of octane booster in it as a test) One i pulled over to check her out, i unplugged the injector with the problem and carried on my way.. for 5,000 more miles until i finally parked it and repaired it.. I also traveled coast to coast with the same car... SO IN YOUR CASE IT WAS "USER ERROR"..... SUBARU FOR LIFE>>> THEY ARE THE BEST EVER>>>>>> If you take care of your stuff it will take care of you.. KNOW YOUR ENGINE IN AND OUT before you spit nasty crap about subaru..
J CZ28 okay boomer.
@@BlaZindeezy .. are we talking about real cars or computer games ??
888johnmac real cars actually. Are you shocked about my story? That’s why I back Subaru pretty strong. I’ve put them and few others ive owned through the years through the ringer. You can find video all day online of Subaru’s being put through the ringer. I’m just glad now y’all know a 2.5 liter boxer will run fine with only 3 cylinders holding compression and firing. Are you jaw dropped? Can’t do that with a FORD! Lol. And yes I put 5,000 more freeway and city miles on it and lived in it for 2 months. Amazingly practical. A modern day survivalists dream. All while sounding like a 25 hp lawn tractor. Lol. And top speed about 75. That’s if you can knock off all the mud and clay from all the mud bogging you can do too. Heh ... although if ur livin in it, then of coarse you gotta get off grid and dog leg into the woods to find camp and hide for the night to stay safe while you rest. You can do that with a Subaru.

Yeah ive been stuck at the top of mt nebo when mine went bad we just soldered some wires over the relays inside the little box on the drivers side next to the stereo there is a video on youtube about it

I’ve been waiting for this car to be on this show me years, well done boys, weapon of a car !!
Bruh this is literally Bunta spec! How epic!
I wonder how many people are going to get that reference !!! good one !!!
@@yuvaroop almost every other comment was about bunta
A fellow man of culture I see love me some initial d
bunta has a 22b front
@Benis I'm pretty sure Bunta actually had a 22B in the series. Keep in mind his AE86 also had an official track racing engine that wasn't legal for street use so he most likely had access to other high end cars/parts associated with official racing.
Had five of these cars. 1998 Turbo 2000 5 door. 2001 (Bugeye) WRX. 2003 (Blobeye) STI Type UK, 345 bhp. Bug Eye WRX Japanese import. And lastly WRX STI Type R Version 5, fully forged and rapid!! Love em.
Great to see this legend here.
My brother has one similar to that, a STI Type RA witha 22B bodykit. It's been more trouble than any other car he or I have had and he loves it. There's something special about the older subarus, some pure brutality and simplicity.
for all the trolley dings, damn it looks clean on camera
“The car thinks we’ve been carjacked.” Weird
If you've ever spent time with a Brant alarm system, it assumes EVERYONE is a criminal.

"I dont know if it looks good on your civic" gave me a chuckle. Poor Hondas always get shade.
Absolutely loves these cars! I have an 01 Impreza sedan with a 2.2l ej22 engine and I love it. Needs some repairs but it’s the most reliable car I have ever owned and drives amazing.
I've had like 5 GC chassis cars now and we've had more in the family. Just maintain them and they are reliable and a joy to drive. The EJ22 is particularly bulletproof. If you ever sell it, only sell it to me. 😂
Finally a 2 door sti has come to mcm. Been waiting for this for a while.
Bestill my beating heart! A Brant alarm! I thought everyone had removed them by now. I had one in an 03 WRX and it caused so much misery and pain. I would fill it with petrol and it would REFUSE to start.
Same thing with my 06 but either at full noise on the highway or mid corner 😬
I remember Rexnet had diy for removing them lol
You’re not supposed to fill alarms with petrol, that’s where you were going wrong......
@@Greasynutts I remember using that on my MY00 GC8. I was so glad to get rid of it.
I guess every country has their own version of the terrible after-market alarm. In the UK it was Clifford alarms and they were so sensitive that every time the wind blew in the early 2000's you could tell which direction it was coming from by using your ears alone.
They were so overly sensitive that they basically made car alarms redundant, they would go off so regularly for no reason that people just stopped paying attention.
That dam immobilizer. I remember when my brother first got his, he let me have a go if it and we did this exact thing. The memory just came back
I grow up watching this kind of cars with Richard Burns, Colin McRae, Tommy Makinen, Carlos Sainz etc rallying in the acropolis wrc when I was a teen. For sure this was the best era of rallying after the group B. This Subaru was my favorite. I am not a fan of japanese cars but I envy this one!
Marty:buys a rare 2door sti
Me:can't even afford a poster of it
John Chatzopoylos work hard and youll be able to get one. Im in the same situation as you but i hope to reach the spot where i can fulfill one dream of mine.
Maybe computer desktop wallpaper? I think those are free.
Get a youtube channel with 3.3m subscribers, and you too could have one
@Jyri Nenonen they are selling for about $70,000 in Australia. Are you sure you're not just talking about a normal wrx?
Needs to have the old gold rims back. Congrats Marty!
that's the rule. Blue and gold or red and white

KENSEI DORIFTO!
I've got a similar alarm system in my Bugeye WRX Wagon. The code switch dies after a few years, they're cheap metal domes that fatigue and break.
What's even better is taking it to a garage and explaining how the system works. You can guarantee that 10 minutes later the alarm will be going off and you'll have to go back and sort it out. It does make MOT's very fun.
I went on to Carsales AU and looked at the listings, this thing goes for around 85k AUD which = ~56k USD.
I'm so glad you guys are doing this so people can see it!!!!!!!!!
Arm and a leg. Haha.
When my dad was in Japan in the early 2000s, they literally couldn't sell these things at auction no one wanted one, he specifically remembers one of the auctioneers doing doughnuts in one on the wharf.
My uncle worked at a Subaru dealer in the 90’s, and he had the same experience but with the 2.5rs here in the USA. The story would go some couple would come in, ask to drive a top of the line Impreza, complain about rearward visibility because of the wing, and then leave in a legacy.
Curtis Lovrak thats because the 2.5RS was crap lol
That’s weird because people often say that the STi was nearly impossible to get hold of because they all sold out so fast?
Subaru Japan sold many more Legacy than Impreza
This is literally my favorite subaru ever made. Period.
Makes me occasionally regret buying my 4 door
best build based on this gen is "Gobstopper I" by Olly Clark (search for "Clashproductions The Gobstopper - Time Attack -") Back from times when Time Attack was all about power and response, and not aero :P

I've been waiting for this car in MCM for 4 years now... My dream car.
Ok this makes me stupid happy. This is one of my childhood crushes for cars, and it never stopped. I love iiiiiiiiiit.
Reminds me so much of my 98 WRX even has the same hole in the drivers seat. At least the WRX didn't come with a Brandt alarm :P When I bought my WRX, youtube recommended me Mighty Car Mods during my research and when I bought the car it even came with a MCM sticker on it, I left it on to this day. My WRX is how I discovered this channel and I love it to bits.
being a subaru owner... never clicked on an mcm video so fast....
Haha me too! I didn't even process the thought ... click now - find out more later!
Version 6 owner here. I'll keep it till I die!
I remember my dad got hold of one of these literally a month after they released in the uk. So ahead of its time! I remember the amount of people that tried pulling up beside him asking him what the hell was it?! Ha! So quick and the sound of them are awesome! One of those motors that’ll always be a classic.
8:00 Man that gives me flashbacks to mine Subaru, had the same issue I feel your pain :(
at 00:54 your car looks just like my favorite car in Gran Turismo 3.... and my favorite car in the world.... The 22B is awesome, but totally unattainable, so this is what we in the USDM only wish we could have had. My first subaru was a USDM 99 2.5LGT Limited, and the looks of this is exactly what made me fall in love with Subarus as a brand. I'm proud to be a Subaru Sales Rep here in Portland, OR.
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Mcm you have redeemed yourself’s with the brz. Ecstatic to see videos on this car. Please be a keeper Marty like moogs mini and your supergramps
Loved those alarms I installed heaps of them when I was a apprentices at a Subaru dealer I was a guru on them knew all the tricks I wish I still had the tech book and all the spares for it I’d send them to you
So its all your fault.

As a bugeye sti owner. Nice car. Can’t wait to see what you guys gonna do to it
@Mighty Car Mods. I had a 99 Impreza Turbo 2000 (UK) a few years back. The immobiliser did the exact same thing and left me stranded a few times. The last time I had to get towed. I got an auto electrician to take it all out. He also told me that instead them of being fitted, standardised, by electricians it was often done by mechanics when the cars arrived in country, so could have extra 'features'. My particular one also had additional shenanigans fitted to the fuel pump working with the immobiliser. So be prepared for that. Good luck and enjoy it, one of my favourite cars to own

Best shape Subaru ever. Been 12 years since I had my Scoob and still miss it.
Mine was totally reliable even though it was modified.
Close door, put seat belt on, turn key to ignition, press code, check engine light should light up, start car. From memory thats how you start the brant alarm. If you open door and take seat belt off while engine is running it goes into hijack mode. Best to turn engine off first before getting out.
1st of all I've never owned one but I had a dream once that I did🤣🤣🤣
Why does he keep saying that?!? 🤣🤣 He has a Evo 9
That would seriously tick me off keep cutting the engine off 😂 great looking car for 22 years old 👍
I've already lost count of just how many blue cars Marty has owned 😂
The old dealership-installed Brant alarm system! Had one in my old gen 3 twin turbo Liberty B4. To make it work in your instance, you had to close all doors, lock the car, unlock the car, put the key in and turn to ignition THEN put the code in. It was a fine art learning how it worked but didn't waste much time once you get the hang of it!
Aussies are so lucky, we never got this model in the US, the closest thing we got was the 2.5rs which most people that get them just swap it with 2004-05 sti internals and drivetrain, which makes them just as fun as the Jdm sti’s

"Go Go Go Go Go!! You've gotta go faster than Yaris Hilton!" So good!!
I‘m waiting years for Marty to get an STi and for Moog to get an R32 GT-R. I hope for the best.
Yooo that would be sickk
"its really tight"
"its got a good box in it"
The anti-theft module is underneath the dash on the drivers side closest to the door. Literally just cut it out. Then when the immobilizer is triggered, connect the two leads that used to go to the anti-theft module, and while holding them together, turn the ignition to accessory, then to off. The gauge cluster should flash three times is the distinct "tick-a, tick-a, tick-a" of a relay. Disconnect the leads and turn the ignition to on.
Finally! We didn't get the STI in the states and we still have to wait 3 more years till someone can even import a 22B. Love this car.
The subaru in the thumbnail looked like somthing straight out of forza😂
Yeah there is a strange quality to the lighting, it looks like it's out of a video game. Even a lot of the shots in the episode.
Looks like back when the bush fires were raging
@@greggadams1 i was wondering that
Rip that brant alarm out asap, im glad my 05 STi came without one.. worse thing ever.
I’ve heard many horror stories but have had zero issues with the Brant alarm on my 06 STI.
I'm guessing cause newer alarms are better. Old 90s alarms suck. Subaru UK used Sigma alarms during the 90s. Overhead power lines, aerials, etc would interfere with them. You had to push the car away from them to be able to get your car started.
Luckily, in the US, wasn't much a problem with Subarus being stolen, so Subaru of America didn't install alarm systems in the cars. Same with Subaru of Japan. No alarms.
you should install the 22B style wide bodykit, ik you normally don't do bodykits but this one just deserves it, it deserves to be T-H-I-C-C
It makes me happy to see you two getting new toys. You work so hard. You deserve the best.
Not really a Subaru fan but wow this car looks so beautiful! I couldn’t imagine ripping through the gears
Mugatu: Dear God! It's beautiful.
Yes Sir it is...

Well done! I've owned x2 coupes and miss them both. I sold the same version (V5 GC8F2DD) for $9k 8years ago. Cheapest available today is a version 3 for $18k 🤦🏽♂️
no-one is asking how much he paid for it?
Australians are greedy, all 90s cars have increased in value
The first mod on this car should be removing that alarm system :D
I sold my wide body Type R last year to a company who raffled it off as a prize. It was amazing only 34k miles on the chassis but a forged engine pushing out 420hp with the 6 speed box. Interior was unmarked and it had the Lamco gauge set and boost pod... It was mental.
