That Boxer noise though.
Thanks for watching and have a nice day! Stay awesome.
ThatDudeinBlue What did you do to learn all that you know about cars? Did you take classes to be a Mechanic or something?
Lmao just work on them, research how to fix a problem and hang out with car dudes. Youll learn alot
I know that, I just wanted to know what he did.
Hanging out with car dudes and google. lol. I read a lot.
ThatDudeinBlue lol, fair enough.
It imprezzed you, did it?
I see what you did there
Haha, that was punny
itsDarrell ahahah the you punny
6 lack you realize that comment was 2 years ago, right?
Good one
Evos and Wrx Sti's are brothers hehehe xD they go hunting together for those v8's :P
thisisyourboss yes my guy, yes !!
@@deanjakovljevic1429 right lol
Rip to the evo from a sti guy cuz now subaru’s main competitor is gone so there will not be as much innovation from subaru, RIP EVO 1992-2016
TheBananaExpress Evo might come back. Mitsubishi is merging with Renault, and they will possibly use a Renault platform to make another Evo.
Alexander Chohan I just went from a beefy inline 6 to a flat 4 in the 06 wrx and its 10000 times more fun
Blob Eyes have always been my favorite!
same!
Rohan Sharma always the best ;)
*hawkeye*
Rohan Sharma same here!
Gc8 is better
IMO the 1st Gen Impreza is the best looking one. There's a WRX STI down my street with the 555 rally design that colin McRae used on it in the mid 90's. That things a beast, it sounds like God's ripping a huge fart when it's going down the street, LOL.
God's ripping a huge fart LMAOOO that part had me dead
meatloaf forlife
Rare though.
Leeroy Jones While your comment is really a subjective one, I generally agree. Some like the GC8 chassis, some not.
Imo, there is no substitute for the GC8, one generally tunes his Impreza to make it faster, reliably, well, performance oriented enthousiasts at least. Tuning means also making it lighter yet stronger as well. The GC8 is the best option, put the same tuned engine in a GC8, you have a 250..300kg lighter trackmonster instantly. There are plenty of videos on this, I own a tuned 555 since '99, `only` around 300hp, will keep it as long as I can. It's a gem. Better yet, put a turbo H6 boxer subaru engine in it, tune it to heaven, there is no competition on drag or track.
Yea i like them a lot to, i got the 99’
9:33 *Imprezza'd me
Jimmy Singh I see what you did there :D
A friend of mine had an silver 04 that he bought new as a daily, just added a few bolt-on pieces. I thought he was crazy for selling it but it wasn't my car. Fun and very torquey.
Thank you for bringing up the subject of getting screwed and thinking you're invincible being that it's an AWD car. Not hating on the Subys but I've run into this with so many guys that own those. There's been a few that totaled their rides from that "invincible" mindset. All I'm saying is please respect the machine and don't abuse it in a way that gets you, your cool points or anyone else hurt.
Hey there ThatDudeinBlue I just wanted to take some time and thank you for these videos. They're more than just car reviews and what not, to me it teaches me about the world of cars which I have a deep passion in. These videos also help me remain calm on days that aren't the best and they let me express myself and feel free. So thank you ThatDudeinBlue for what you do and keep your amazing videos amazing! Much love from Cali - Kev
You Seriously Need To Do A Review On A Modified Rotary.
You have now received
My favorite Subaru + Boxer noises + urrmaaagurd blow off valve = Like from this guy.
Between the wing, the scoop, the wheels. the ride height, and the power. I have to say this is up there as one of my favorite builds. Something about this thing just makes me love it so much. There aren't a lot of cars i see and immediately love everything about but this one definitely fits the bill.
I love that Subaru boxer uel header sound. One of the many reasons I fell in love with WRX’s. The blobeye is my favorite gen and I love how this one still has the uel headers!
Awesome Subaru build!! Love the wastegate sound!
David, do you think you wold ever invest in a drone for some awesome birds eye shots? Follow cars around and such.
Dude I love how every video you do gets better and better with regards to the camera shots, transitions and angles.. Watch all yours videos keep them coming man.
David your content never ceases to amaze me and it has always been great but I have got to hand it to you for keeping every inro song different and interesting props man.
"everything except the transmission, the transmission is stock"
Bet you the trans goes in the next couple weeks now
Dee Jay STI 6 speeds will hold.
hotwire96 Funny because I only meant the trans would go because hes jinxed it by saying it's the only thing that hasn't failed
It was just a joke, some guys take things way too seriously I guess
***** You come off like a massive douche lol
Dee Jay trying to tell a joke via text, in the comments section of CZcams... Was your 1st mistake.
***** Actually I own an S14, but nice try haha
Your friend Matt owns this car? So one can assume this is Matt Farah's million mile lexus
This is not Matt Farahs million mile Lexus
This is not Matt Farahs million mile Lexus
I've watched this video about 8 times, your videos are so addicting! Thank you!
This video really cleared the moving to the left when I get on it in my wrx , thanks David
I just bought one of the lowest mileage STI's in the country and went to a racing shop saying I need 750WHP and they actually told me they recommended I stay around 550 WHP lol Now I understand why.
I wish you would do a rotary 😢 I've been waiting for the longest! Lol
I have actually, Rx7 FB!
ThatDudeinBlue Come to london! You can review mine :)
ThatDudeinBlue You should review Rob Dahm's RX-7
MarkHinds i wish i could drive it i live 15 mins away from him
+markhinds he can't. UPS lost one of the rotors
That Subaru turbo flutter combined with that bov . Priceless ....nice work !!!
Awesome! I love subarus and your reviews! Didn't know you were so close to me. We have some great driving roads around Asheville, NC and the parkway comes straight to ya. Hopefully one day we can catch a drive.
Well owning a heavily modifieded subaru is always interesting but if you have a stock not beat on wrx or STi your golden
I'd just go with 400-450whp on pump gas that's all you need in a light car like that. Also it is true evos have more potential, but subarus are just cooler
I know in one of your vlogs you said you were trying not to do the same cars/ different models etc. but I am so glad you reviewed an sti again. My
most favourite car in the worrrrrld is back! :)
One of my favorite car reviews...thank you.
What's everyone's favorite looking STI? I'm going to have to go with the Hawkeye
I love a nice blob eye but my fave is the like 2013 hatch
22b 2012 sti hatch 2010 wrx notchback
SoCalSupercars 2008 Hatch, and GC8 for sure.
SoCalSupercars 22b
SoCalSupercars the 1999/2000 non blob eye models for me they look more "subaru"
No build list in the description :p
krampus_ Fixed!
ThatDudeinBlue
:D
The sound of that boxer-4 was awesome!
Great videos man i always look forward to seeing your new videos no matter what the content! Thanks again, Keep it up!
Adam Silva Show my channel some love too :)
The USDM Ej257 is just horrible if you wanna mkae power. Put a JDM EJ207 in it will be easier to make power just like the Evo. On top of that GT35R twin Scroll + E85, want me to go on?
My built bottom end is reliable, but in stock form, no way Jose.
Still not sure whether or not I like the blob eye or the Hawkeye better
Hawk looks better but the blob eye has more character
Yes^
***** blob eye 04-05 hawk eye 06-07
Russel Nguyen Neither, bugs are where its at!
Russel Nguyen Blob for me... but all these STI's sure keep their value...
hey dave about the front mount coolers on soobis, my brother turned his top mount into the Radiator ..
so the front mount wasnt restricting the air flow into the radiator ... was a awesome idea he done and kept the temp down aswell .. just a idea to let your friends know and try ..
I gotta say i love your music choices for your reviews.
See that's why I want a 2.5i Impreza instead of a wrx or STI
They are just a boxer engine and nothing else
A open canvas
What does the STI stand for again
Sexually transmitted infection
Subaru Technica International
Always love the music choices David!
Car sounds great! I'm more of a V8 guy, but boxers have always impressed me with their exhaust note.
Im only 14 so dont hate but what exactly is the high pitched whine when you shift the gears? Plz don't flip out, i wanna get into modding cars and im new.
Blow off valve.
The gears are cut.
Zion Grimes no.. it’s the blow off valve lmao.
Only on a Subaru can your mod list be that long and only make 512hp lol
Brzybraj yep sounds about right
the speclist on my s14 is longer and i have less hp ^^
He said it can handle 1000 hp so playing on the safe side and can’t blame him after what he’s been through
I've seen this guy around. I'm the other 04 PSM STi tuned by moore. Good shop Chris is the man.
As a evo owner, I'm gonna reluctantly give it a thumbs up. That footage at the end of him rolling off with twin disk sounded like it doesn't actually make a good daily driver. Great Job David.
34th view! Hmm.........r34......
No.
LOL
Krishna Pochana Half Life 3 confirmed
The Subi may be a fast car but my God did you hear all that road noise? If you close your eyes it's almost like listening to an episode of the Flintstones.
Kingw3Boxing hahahaha
My mechanic, who's a certified Subaru master tech, daily drives his Black 05 wrx. He calls it Blackie. He owns his own shop and does everything from tuning to motor building. Blackie is putting out 540awhp running on 91 octane and water/ methanol injection (devilsown kit with a failsafe that he created himself). 2.2 closed deck fully built forged and micro polished internals motor. and still running top mount intercooler. an after market big bulky one of course. It also has anti lag on it too. Its his daily beater car that he drives everywhere in any weather and is constantly modifying.
absolutely great
love the car and the work done to it
take pride in this whip !! ur lucky
Your STI doesn't Impreza me much...
Reading through the comments about the nicknames of Subaru headlight styles literally gave me cancer
Two things: 1. Love the beginning video of the car. (incoming video geek comment) Absolutely loved this shot at 0:26. The swooping with the song just fits like a glove. And 2. Holy hell is that a fast Subie. Goes through the gears quite quickly it seems. I like it haha
***** These cars go through gears quickly even in stock form lol. That's the magic of the STI's short ratio gear box.
ravesilly You have no idea, my 06' runs almost 3k rpm at 70 mph and hits fifth in the 1/4. The 07's got a longer 4th and can stay in 4th on the quarter.
Oh jeez that sounds good! I think the little chirp of the BOV between quick shifts is a great accent. Makes me miss my WRX. :'(
Maybe I am getting old but the first 45 seconds of these videos are required to be on mute.
Send him some un copywrited music then. I'm sure he spends a shit ton of time trying to himself.
Actually I think most who listen to the genre would agree he has pretty good taste in opening song selection. Might be beyond your time
SoSickWidit especially when the selection is so limited by what you can find that;s not copyrighted.
sweeeptheleg It is so much harder than you think to find un-copyrighted music, it's crazy. I've been using garage band to get music for my last couple of videos but I'm so tired of that now lol.
MAEguy NoCopyrightSounds is a good channel on youtube man i use them for my videos. i'll check out your channel!
moral of the story is buy a evo if you're not rich and want to make power
closedeyeslie have to be rich to buy and maintain an evo not a subies
Loven it....Mc Loven it Thank you for an awesome review ThatDudeinBlue.
that looks like alot of fun :) useable power, proper drivers car, bet u enjoyed it lots!!
Evo makes way more power for cheaper...and they look better. Evo all day
Too bad they sound like a rice rocket...
^^^ Subaru lifeeee BWAAAAAHHHH PSHHH
jesse garcia why do I always hear that they're unreliable? and break a lot
Do they make unequal length headers for evo? Then I’m in
hey david youre getting better at shifting high hp cars ! good job man
For some reason I was hoping for a Porsche 911 review when you told everybody you have a boxer review coming up ThatDudeinBlue :D Make that happen soon, please ! Nothing against tuner cars, but I want to see you road test a car in more detail and longer. Manufacturers need to support your awesome work, buddy !
Love the channel and videos man
Great review, keep coming. With the vids
awesome review thanks David
Holy sh*t! Good thing (Moore) got that car right after all the little issues that could possibly happen. I agree with everything he was saying too, and my personal favorite is the blob eye. That thing just uses all it's power efficiently and is definitely clean sounding. Sucks there expensive to work on but hey, if u got the means to do it heck ya! Sweet car.
Damn Eargasm
Love the sound of Subarus and that blow off valve
and as always u made me happy.
keep up the great work mate
so stoked to see how your 240 turns out davey
Hey David, loved the video and the car, I have a small suggestion for you though. In the opening shots of the car I think it would be awesome if you could use the crane arm for the engine bay shots, while watching this one and that crazy barney evo I was wanting to see more of the engine and it was teasing to see just the front of them and especially the more crazy engine bays like the 4g63 and things like that. Again just a suggestion your the pro anyway but I think it would look really really cool.
P.S. keep up the good work man.
Sick intro, loved the music!
You do fantastic reviews!
Favorite gen. Good review david
I just love the sounds of a super sequential bov
That dude in blue hell of an introduction to a beautiful amazing car lol i have a bugeye with a fully built boost inc 2.5 pushing about 450 480 just needs bigger injectors from the ones my buddy gave me off his sti 750 top feeds
ThatDudeinBlue Dude, I met Matt @ Moore Automotive. I tagged along with my buddy to see his Subaru WRX get tuned and Matts car was next in line. Hearing that thing start up was pretty cool in itself. Then I remember asking 'em "Do you watch ThatDudeinBlue on CZcams?" He was all like "Fuck yeah man Davids my friend. I've been asking him to review my car but Ive had these problems." Seriously cool shit man, glad to see you review his ride.
Very nice car I want some awd turbo action. Personally I'm going with a 2015+ wrx. The new FA20 engine is phenomenal and comes with a 6 speed and I like the look of the new model. Plus it responds to mods better than the EJ and gets great gas mileage. But this is still a great car with the perfect amount of power.
cant wait, buying my first Subaru this weekend :) It might not be as fast as this one though
Cant wait till I get mine done.. Similar story still on the works. Mines been down for a year so far...
Glad to hear the UEL header.. the whole point in owning an STi.. IMO
I really like your video! Keep up the good work!
tonyturbo91 check out my channel too i need some love! :)
It's a cool and well made review, although I would never go for that amount of power. My previous Impreza had a full suspension kit (lower and stiffer) installed, upgraded brakes and brake lines, super-light alloy wheels and +40 hp. With 500+ horsepower is more a drag-race beast rather than an everyday (and trackday) car. In my experience, speaking of purely stock cars, what the Subaru lacks is pure agility (rather than power or torque) in favour of a more enjoyable and relaxed ride, whereas Evos for example are more nimble and somewhat angrier right off the bat. That being stated, I would always go for a Subaru and tune it, just for the sound they make.
I have a pretty nice 2010 STI. I have a few pics of it and the dyno print outs on my myspace portfolio linked to my youtube. All I've done to it myself so far was all the paint and powder coating. The original owner bought it new and took it to Subaru Rally Racing and had over $27,000 worth of work done to the motor and suspension and it has the fully rally suspension package on it. In the end the bill was paid but he couldn't afford to keep up with the payments because of financial problems and lost it. My friend who is actually a mechanic at Subaru Rally did the work on it had called me because I was looking for a newer WRX than my 08 and said it was off to auction for cheap. I end up buying it for a little over $17,000 with barely 10,000 miles on it fully loaded as well in 2012 because so many modifications were done to it the Subaru dealer could not make money back on it so the original owner got stuck with the remainder of the bill of the car. So here are a few listings on the receipt that came with the car from Subaru Rally that were done. I'm not listing all of what was done cause that would take to long. Apparently the top part of the block from what my friend at Subaru Rally said is prone to crack with high boosts so they added Company23 torque plates to start with, CP forged piston's and rings, Darton Sleeves for strength, ACL over sized bearings for the crank for cooler and better oil control, K1 forged crank, GSC valve train, larger roller rockers, the heads were massaged, Process West Intercooler, Koyo aluminum radiator, ACL Orbit performance oil pump, Perrin oil cooler, Blouch Dominator 5.0XT-R, Cosworth camshafts, DeatschWerks 1,000cc top feed injectors. My buddy said when they originally did the dyno when the original guy owned it after the 5th pull at 36 psi of boost they got 793hp to all 4 wheels at 7123 rpm and 794lbs of peak torque at 4750 rpm. I do not have it set up that way, we actually dropped the boost down to around 23-25 psi.
Dope intro, sick car!
Nice build, reminds me of the Born-to-Race Subaru :)
Every review always has the perfect song 😭
I can totally relate! my 04 right now is having a new block put in. I plan on starting a vlog on my car. do you have any tips?
Always nasty with the music intros, well done David :D
No mention of the wastegate? Nice sti anyway.. Thanks for revving it out, not like you did in that last vid in the evo
Holy low bass notes in the intro song. My subs are happy about that.
Love it !!! Is like looking at my own car same color and all 😂 but im running 500hp on 93, plus change the front end to Bugeye and is good for 700hp, but I don't think it will get to that point, 500 is super fun 😎👌👌👌
Curious what you thought of the idle noise? Was it a nice lope or was it pretty quiet? I have a set of brian crower 280 cams for my build and I'm trying to figure out what its going to sound like.
I have a blob Sti and I've driven all other gens and the blob was just my favourite and best looking in my opinion
ThatDudeinBlue Nice production, as always, but if there's one thing I could ask for in your videos, it would be some gauge cluster shots!
that dude in blue you are my favorite youtube channel
Great video! great car!
Great vid love this one you should do another one of Zacks hatch
YESSSSS thank you David !!!
3:35 that power shift doe!!
The blob eye is my favorite generation of the sti!
Did you film this in Amelia? my grandparents live out that way and some places looked familiar.
Subaru has definitely come along way over the years. A big difference between an 06 wrx and a 2014!! Except the engine of course. As for the engine idea I can not see anything other than the boxster. I love it..
I could listen to that spool 24/7
