    That's funny (his laugh). I had a 2002 WRX with 400 whp (turbo upgrade with all necessary supporting mods), it was a really fun car. I never lost a race from a red light. I beat Vipers, Z06 Vettes, GT500 Cobras, etc .... That car was deadly on the street from a dig in a short race (0-80 mph or so). I would usually be 3-4 cars off the line by the time the other car started getting traction. I also had a Stage 2, STi that was fun, but not as fun as my 400 whp, WRX. I've also had lots of Camaros (5 to be exact) and 3 LS2, GTOs. So I don't discriminate between boosted imports or V8 Muscle. Hope you have lots of fun and be safe.

      Cool story but it would get shat on by a 1.6-1.8 liter honda 😂 you spent a shit load to get 400hp and you sold it too cause subie guys cant stand the terrible gas and parts breaking.

      @adamelmachkour2506 Před 5 lety +1

      @@cattcameo wtf is a "short race"? Yeah awd launches better no shit but is launching all that matters in racing? Im talking about circuit racing, road racing, and the quarter mile. Also, how many times can you launch an awd car on a stock drivetrain? Not much before something gives up.

      @Williaem00 Před 5 lety

      You ever run into transmission issues with your WRX? I had a 2006 sti and was a big racer . Had friends with wrx's and the transmission seems to let the WRX down. The STI was a better platform because of its transmission/stiffer suspension. I might get a 2014 wrx but I'm afraid the supporting parts won't hold up.

    Been watching since near the beginning. Love the vids and you've been a great inspiration for when I got my WRX. I had at the time, and still have an '06 Impreza 2.5i in Aspen white. I got that car in 2016 and enjoy it still. I bought my WRX as a shell in February of 2018. It's also an '06, I got it running this past December. The day after xmas actually. Dropped in the engine, trans, driveshaft, axles etc myself with some assistance where it takes more than one person. It's a standard WRX, not limited, but still has the misc details unlike the TR model. Finished in crystal grey metallic and I absolutely love the car!

    First off I just want to say you have an amazing build , I got a chance to see it at subiefest 18, and your car was probably one of my favorite ones there. I currently own a 2005 wrx and a 2015 sti. Ive been thinking of starting to make CZcams videos and get to where you’re at. But I just want to say keep up the fantastic work 👍🏼

    Gr8 job, and be proud. I was a aviation mechanic, and also graduated Lincoln Tech automotive school and been through all that before with my first 20 in the US 2001 WRX sold at Skagit Ford/Subaru in Washington State. Put 30k on motor and airframe then went STI motor, full build 2.7 stroker with 20g Godzilla. Loved it for years, then went 2005 EVO8 and now classic 3000GT.

I am very impressed. I have only ever seen older guys build motors like that. Super cool and inspiring. How long did you learn in school before diving in to rebuild your own motor?

It was my dream car since freshman year of high school, im now 24 this year. I bought my car 2 summers ago and absolutely loved it, had plans to build it and make it my car. Unfortunately my dreams fell short due to splitting up with my sons mom and having to let my baby go as a repo. Which kills me every day. But i turn to your videos because they are interesting and seeing the progress on your car is inspiring and it helps your outgoing and know whats going on. Thank you for the updates and the videos in general. Your videos help me out and keep in my mind that i know il own another blob eye one day. Keep up the hard work

    Bro this is sweet I absolutely love it:) I’m currently working on my own car as well. I picked up a 1999 2.5rs for dirt cheap and I’m working on making an off-road, heavy winter capable beast of a car. I live in Montana so weather here gets pretty intense. So far I’ve lifted it to a 11 and a half inch clearance and gotten BF Goodrich Ko2’s for tires. I’ve also swapped out the stereo and done sound deadening in the doors, trunk, and other places in the car. I still have a long way to go, considering I still plan on swapping in an ej207 and a 6 speed sti transmission, as well as completely repainting it. I have bright plans for the future and I hope I can execute my plans nearly as well as you did yours😁

    Awesome video bro. Definitely subscribe after that. The time and effort you put into everything is amazing. Keep building bro. I cant get myself to do anything to my Hyperblue STI so a blob eye or a hawk eye is coming soon for me. Much love from the east coast bro.
