Driving from Florida to Alaska - Episode 2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- We drove our turbo cars from Florida to Alaska. We took our STI drivetrain swapped Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Evo 9 MR on a journey of over 10,000 miles. This isn't click bait, we actually did it! Or rather, you'll have to watch to find out if we actually made it all the way!
HUGE thanks to Advance Auto Parts for making this trip happen! They were kind enough to sponsor this trip and save us every time we broke down, which happened more frequently than I'd like to admit.

Welcome to Canada, guys :D That border crossing is about 5 minutes away from where I live. Hope you enjoyed your stay! Next time you're around, if you'd like to cruise with some R34 GTRs or S15 Silvias just let me know!!
Thanks Marcus! I wish we had known when we came through there! Maybe next time!
Roads Untraveled I always get yalls channels mixed up
Both very awesome channels. I'm starstruck
I think I speak for everyone here when I say we would love to see this happen. Thanks for the awesome content from everyone!
Still have my classy roads unravelled decal on the back of my car.
I'm sorry that this video is still in 360p. I have been talking with youtube for the last few days trying to get this resolved. I HAVE RE-UPLOADED TWICE, but they're still not processing past 360p. Something is wrong with TH-cam's servers, but I wont stop trying to get this video to the 4k quality that you expect from us.
Gears and Gasoline damm you guys passed like so close to me lol everett wa #boxergang ✌✌
Gears and Gasoline eating a raw onion like a apple watching this
2 hours later and its still 360p, something must've gone wrong with the upload.
u need to reupload the video im not gona watch 360p on a 27 monitor man...
I think you guys might want to re-upload, should be HD by now
I appreciate that Gears and Gasoline understand that as car enthusiasts we want to hear the cars driving, not music. I love the clean audio that you guys give us.
16:12 those little, heartwarming moments are among the reasons why I'm so happy to be into motorsports :)
Living in New Zealand I've never really appreciated how scenic and beautiful our roads really are
I'm from Australia and visited New Zealand. You have the most beautiful country I have ever visited
@@willmcc05 Living in NZ is paradise, I've hardly explored much of it and I never want to leave. surely your the nicest Aussie because the stereotypical wouldn't give an inch for us since Pavlova, Rugby and Cricket rivalry's get pretty tense across the ditch.
I'll come back later to watch it in HD, just wanted to get the traffic going on the upload.
you're the real mvp
Oh god you guys replied.
I'll...just go and fanboy-freak-out for a bit.
Max S. Same
I don't care what anyone says! This is the nicest looking 360p on TH-cam!
Thanks man!
@ProudPoppin
I agree with that...
You're welcome! And im so happy you guys replied to my comment :) Exciting stuff!
Agreed and it doesn’t start buffering either lmao.
ProudPoppin Slovensko žijee
Fun video, but I'm not going to lie.
That completely mashed framerail at 8:52 had my OCD going off the charts.
I know right he didn't place it in the right area that is what happens when you rush.
Not gonna lie, that's an amateur's mistake coming from a car guy...
Same lol, and I’ve never jacked up a car other than my dad’s sprint car😂 That’s the shit that makes me nervous af lmao.
That's just the side skirt. The rocker panel is under that.
It's the factory jack point
so he swapped out the engine a week before leaving for the trip and didn't put fresh plugs in before putting the STI engine in?
I know right
Especially since that's the easies time to do it. I love boxer motors and have owned many subarus but despise working on them.
He didn’t swap the motor, only the tranny and the rest of the drivetrain excluding the motor. Subframe, etc
No, the forester XT has the ej255 essentially shortblock sti, you inly have to slap in a turbo, tune it and you have yourself an sti engine
hey thats like something out of RoadKill, i kinda like it.
@8:54 that poor side skirt
I’m definitely watching this again in 4k
Looks like they just said f it, not watching this at 360p in 2018 on a 4k monitor. lol.
Jay Leno is in this video?
Did you know that he owns 2 Lamborghini Miuras and is James's best friend?
Ramchargers 🙌
#UnknownVariable
THANKS JESSICA
too much donut..
#justlikemydad
*GOD THAT EVO LOOKS PERFECT WITH THAT SKI BOX*
Ikr
Agree
Redwan Riyan the white is amazing i dont see white one's in colo
The ski box is sweet too
Right!!
What I took out of this video...
Do not go on a long trip in one of these cars. Buy an Honda or Toyota
Yes scotty
As long as you have fun its fine!
Supra?
Daihatsu?
MR2?
I grew up in Oregon and lived here for all but 14 yrs of my life when I was in the army. And I LOVE this state. Glad you guys thought it was beautiful. it really is.
Episode 3 will be out by the time this thing renders.
yesss it takes sooo long
Hours passed by, and TH-cam still couldn't handle their awesomeness...
no kidding, it's been 3 days and still only 360p...
I'm sure you guys have heard this thousands of times, but your production quality is absolutely amazing. Certainly the best road trip video on TH-cam. Keep up the great work.
I know I’m not the only one that feels like I’m also on this trip. The video editing is out of this world, the dialogue throughout the video is amazing. Can’t wait for next Saturday for the 3rd episode!!
I'm really enjoying it too. When they crossed the golden gate bridge it brought some feels back. It's something I did when I visited San Francisco in June, I hired an S2000 just to drive across the bridge.
“Did I mention I’m driving my own car”
Multiple times! 😂
Lol
😂😂😂
"I see a Canadian over there, so that's what they look like."
rofl!
I saw the first episode, now after 2 years I see the second I don't know why. what I missed!!!!
when I'm older me and my friends are gonna head onto a trip from New York to California, this is really awesome to see.
Pixel middle of the country is terrible. Did this trip 7 times
Can I join?
Just how amazing America is !! wow... such great scenic beauties and all
That’s everything my heart was seeking for. Beautiful rides,sceneries and freedom. Thank you for at least seeing the fun you had there.
I really love and admire the Evo IX, hope to own one someda. Its heartening to see Evos still around. :)
"Please sir, I'd like to come into Canada."
Can't go to a place that doesn't exist though
360p squad!
Maartin chyea!
Yea
Me 2 wtf?
Yup same here...you know it's going to look good in 1080p tho because even in 360p it looks nice
Holy shit still 360 an hour later
Here before 1080p rip
This series is so well made. I love it
this video series is so inspiring. i love that is not all about the cars but also about the beautiful that nature displays. This is definitely something that i will be doing in the near future due to how amazing the experience must be. thank you so much for these amazing videos. they put a smile on my face and motivate me to keep doing better!
this video has me wanting a forester now
I have one, its great! be sure to get an XT model. I upgraded to a bigger turbo and it's really a beast now.
well i mean if you think about it the forester has had the most problems
I own a forester and I love it. It handles like my impreza did and it fits a ton of stuff, awesome car and yes it's not very reliable but oh well, it's worth it
I love my XT, I sold my 2.5rs for it and never looked back :)
Louis Perez me an evo
“I've only seen things look this good in like, New Zealand”.
North Coast 500 in Scotland. Give it a look, it's 500 miles of some of the most spectacular road in the world. Plenty of great roads around the rest of Europe too, but I'm biased haha.
I actually thought he was going to say Scotland or Iceland or something.. haha
I was just happy to hear little old New Zealand mentioned haha
This brings back so many recent and long memories. That coastal road? You passed where we just were in Florence, OR. That spot that oversaw the Seattle skyline? We visited that place on a music tour. That port of entry? We used to live outside of Vancouver and would go through there every weekend (to shop-dad made a lot in Canada and shopped cheap in the U.S. as a citizen). Brought back some good times. Really good stuff guys.
He kept talking about how much he loved Subaru, This had me rolling. I am def glad I came across this video looking for forester ideas
From someone who lives in nz I loved hearing you credit nz roads,and yes I agree they are amazing
true that but im from west auckland lol
If I had a dollar for everyone that complained about 360p, I could probably afford an sti swapped forester
and the cost of all the parts that break on a trip from florida to alaska....
18 minutes 10 seconds and a crushed pinch weld, made me feel dirty.
I was wondering if anyone else was gonna notice the sill being molested
8:20 :(
yep noticed it as soon as i seen the jack....
Only reason I looked at the comments 😂😂
@@brianlannan680 same lol
Hey guys, if you come to Ontario near me in Toronto, I’ll give you a bottle of complementary maple syrup.
Levyathan Magic car meet!!
sounds like they are going through the west coast. Or i could meet them in Niagara Falls :P
If they stop by Niagara falls, I’d be down to meet them and have some sort of car meet thwre
Ditto, either Toronto or Niagara works for me
Niagara Falls car meet would be awesome and have a nice small scenary drive there 😊
I took a Mazda3 with 116,000 miles on it on a 8,000 mile loop around the US last summer with not a single problem. It's all in how well you keep up with your maintenance.
I still don’t get why they didn’t fully service both cars before the long journey especially with such unreliable cars.
It's all staged
Bert Bert ??
Just stop complaining
Corey Mondello so staged then
Corey Mondello I see what you mean but would they really do that with all the labor from driving and changing everything?
Last summer I took a drive (in a rental, unfortunately) from San Diego all the way up to Seattle. Definitely a top 10 drive in the world
Did he not jack the Subaru up from a jack point or i they from the factory with that bit of metal bent outwards?
nick J pinch welds aren't made for jacks tbh. They when a jack raises it goes up and pulls out. So they bend pinch welds alot.
nick J he didn’t use the jacking point and bent the sill
I thought the same thing.
hes gonna regret that.
did not use proper jack, the floor jack requires flat surface. vehicles which utilize the pinch weld area for structural jacking point require special jack or usually provided with scissor jack with head that has slot for pinch weld to sit in but the lips will contact on inner side and outer side of pinch weld prevent the flattening of the pinch weld
This is already an amazing series, so I don't even care that this episode is in 360p. Keep it up G&G!
I cant explain how happy these videos made me and how much i envy you guys. One day for sure I need to do a trip like this with all my friends.
This channel is a great example of why i absolutely love the car community. Especially when they met the fan.
So early it's still only 360p haha love the series so far!
early? 3 hours later and it's still only in 360p ;p
tubejorrit oh damn 🤣
Early? 21 hours later, still 360p.
well now you at least have a story to tell your grand children about perhaps
And that you almost met jay leno in his McLaren P1 cruising
Great roadtrip! Subaru is good roadtrip choice - we do similar roadtrips with our Impreza, but from Czech Republic to Ukraine, Romania and so on... :-).
How is that? I'm from Western Europe, thinking of this instead of going to Italy or Portugal
when u live in a little town in australia and watch vids like this gets me jelly
i came to youtube to look up parts for my 96 mitsubishi eclipse gts and saw this video on my recommendation and i watched the first episode and now i’m subscribed. this channels pretty cool and something i enjoy watching
❤️ Loving this journey guys! Thanks for putting this together and sharing with the automotive community! Great job guys! Really well done production - sound, video, editing, all top notch! Cheers! 🤙🤙
I'm a little suspicious that the spark plugs weren't changed during the engine swap
04/05 Forester XT has a EJ255. It's literally the STI longblock. No need to swap the engine, just swap the stuff attached to it. If 04, swap the STI ECU on, for 05, tune it. BOOM! Essentially an STI engine.
I think they might have only done a 6 speed swap, not an actual STI engine swap.
@@khanikun2587 they have ej255 short blocks in the 05 forester, i believe the 04 would be the same, the sti ej255 is the long block, but they basically the same thing with a different torque spec because of throttle differences i believe. to get sti power you basically just need to get a sti tmic and turbo and a proper tune.
ya think! lol
The shop that did my Envoy's swap (Not for performance but previous owner let it go bad) didn't do the plugs just to save money and time. Needless to say I'm paying for it now haha
You want beautiful roads, try Scotland. :)
I’d love to take a trip to Scotland to drive the “Piloting Extremely Nicely In Scotland 287”
Ah I've driven this before on a road trip. So gorgeous this video takes me back. Thanks guys!
I used to meet up and hangout with my friends at the Alki boat launch all the time when I lived out there. Best view of Seattle, hands down. Glad you guys went there.
it's a great spot, right? I was down at rocky beach with a few friends the other night and the views out there are always great
Guys, 3700 mile oil change? It's not 1990 and your driving mostly highway and using full synthetics. Take those cars to at least 8k miles.
3700 miles is a good idea just to play it safe. when my engine runs rough i change the oil
i have gone 7500 per manufacturere recommendation but am more comfortable with 5k but yes 3k or so is a bit too conservative
Since these are presumably turbo charged cars they're probably better off changing it at that interval.
Dude I ran my evo for 17k with out changing the oil one year. Just had to add a quart every 3k or so. I still have the car and she has 220k with original turbo and powertrain. Fyi I had the car since it had 50k.
+THEJDMDC2
cool story, bro
This road trip series has taught me of the cars not to buy. So many break downs!
I will deff stick with my Honda!
Do you know how easy it is to go from Florida to Alaska with zero breakdowns!
515ventures lol, was thinking the same. I made a 5000 km roadtrip and only had oils and Some stuff. Didnt even have to stop once for the car.
These cars are old and turbo'd not new turbo like new hondas. Hondas have tranny problems by the way.
7:00 "Oil changes are pretty easy on this car" - proceeds to remove wheel to do oil change. :)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he knew he was going to lose...
Because removing a wheel is massive and very hard job isn't it?
I bet you can do the oil change without removing the wheel but he just did that to make it easier.
Just watching this now and I am staggered at just how good this has been so far. The camera work and production in particular has been incredible given the circumstances, I'm going to end up binge watching this!
6:57 "better car? You mean cause you work on it more?" Lol says the one who's broken down several times 😂 love these guys
I'm in Seattle and I wanna go to Socal this summer. This video making me wanna do it more. 😍
Finally, thank you G&G
My girlfriend got cross with me today but HEY NEW G&G VIDEO.
Makes everything better
Still waiting for 4K :'(
This series makes me so happy. I just did the similar thing to the west coast from Colorado and the whole time I just kept blowing me away to see my car parked in front of the ocean
Good God, you guys are nuts! I mean I don't know how I am on TH-cam for years now, but only came across your channel like last weekend. TOP stuff since your first roadtrip which I'm very much enjoying. Your cannel is unreal, keep it up, man!
You know it's a GREAT VID when it's over to fast!!! 👍👍👍
tru
3 hours for spark plugs LMAO. Thanks for confirming that I will never get a boxer
Lit Like Larry was able to do them in about 30 min with the help of my father on my old impreza
Lit Like Larry it takes me 10mins easily in a Impreza and forester. Even with not much mechanical experience it will take someone maximum 30mins to do
Takes maybe a hour. Don’t know why it took him 3 hours. Lack of skill maybe.
Guessing they included cool down time in that as well.
take me about 5 minutes to swap those plugs when engine was out of the car dude lol
12:00 that's right, California baby! It's beautiful.
That Pacific coast highway is beautiful, also reignited my mid thirties. Drive to go back to a Subaru. Great work fellas!
I have watched this many many times and every time I get more motivated to do a road trip like this..
Now it is just a matter of time of refreshing the video till 4K is available.
CAN'T WAIT ;-;
Still refreshing? i know i am
@Wessel Wegerif XD
I think I broke my refresh button, but Idc, EVERYTHING FOR GG! ;-;
Driving 23 hours straight is as bad as DUI mate
russhaig I agree. It's extremely dangerous and puts yourself and others at risk!
Pussies
Yes, these guys have shown remarkable judgement on this trip...
Trust me.. Ive driven after 5 pints and ive driver 23 hours without stopping as well. 5 pints is much worse.
i mean i can see being able to do it but generally no i am sure if he felt dangerously tired he would have stopped before
"its not about the destination, its the journey" - some dude from pixar while they were producing cars
I never really thought of how beautiful Oregon is to non-Oregonians. I must be pretty lucky to live where I do and have all this scenery around me
6:06 northbound on the Grapevine, loved the scenery coming into the valley.
6:17 That's Bakersfield California! I knew it right away thats where i live i know it from the street sign😂😂
LOL, unreliable cars and a long road trip. Perfect.
Yeah this video definitely proved how unreliable their cars are.. Fuck outta here moron.
more like poor planning and lack of maintenance beforehand.
@@shona5512 IT DID show how unreliable the cars were. Did you not see episode 1 ??
@@headcoach2721 Kinda depends on what you're comparing them to though. To be fair.
That was the idea of the video. I took my 2005 ACURA RSX with 200,00+ miles on it from Massachusettes to South Florda (like 7 hours south of the state line), and it was fun.
Nice trip. You're talking a lot of words about Subaru. Subaru is good, but is not such good as Mitsubishi. I love yours Evo!
This is such an awesome series! Best TH-cam series I've ever watched from any category of videos out there. Keep up the great work
Weirdddddd, totally grew up in Vancouver and frequented the parts store next door to the Advance Auto Parts at 16:54. It use to be an Old school parts house that rebuilt engines in the back room. I bought my first cherry bomb muffler and shackles for my Buick Skylark there when I was 16. WILD to see my old hometown in this adventure!
Why is this stuck in 360p after 6 hours?
15:04 how I drive through any scenic route
*who cuts their pancakes that way... Ugh you must cut your pancakes into pie slices... LOL*
Real shit, anybody who doesnt cut their pancakes into a grid is a psychopath.
I cut them into pie slices, what's wrong with that?😂
i just fold it till i can put whole in my mouth, but our pancakes are crepes to you guys
You're a monster!
anyone else puts jelly on one pancake and peanut butter on another and then make it into a bacon peanut butter and jelly sandwich or is it just me?😂
Wow redwoods and the pacific coast look awesome! Bless this country
That was a heck of a trip. Love those kind of trips. It is expensive though but very cool.
0:07 I respect the random merker xr4ti, pretty rare and fun little car
Also at 10:31
Nothing to complain, all bout the great content!
Road tripping New Zealand this year in a Subaru 👌🏼
Isn't that what everyone drives over there anyway?
@@JJaumot91 haha yeah, but throw in the all the classic 90s japanese cars too
watch your head gaskets
we have roads like this almost everywhere near where i live, hilly, canyons, scenery etc. North East Victoria , Australia, very good video and nice sounding and looking cars.
Now I found a sense of purpose for keeping my car... at first I wanted to drag, 2nd was thinking maybe circuit racing but now I just want to keep it simple yet reliable to take trips like these and meet ppl along the way and create new friendships🤘🤙✌ Thank you for sharing..
I love sti's and evo's! The Subaru dude is totally chill was expecting him to be a douche and the Evo owner turns out to be a douche lol.
Hey, don't call Tall Ben a douche.
Im pretty sure both dudes are cool people
@@Wildknives69 yeah they are both chill
i once saw Jay Leno in a white Chevy Equinox
So you're telling me I could've met or seen you guys in Anchorage, Alaska when I visited family there from Ontario, Canada; but nope. Jk love your vids guys
You guys are making me wanna do this next summer or even this winter. 😍 especially PCH, my actual bucket list.
Yes!! Rotella T6 was curious if that would be the choice. Awsome video and the touge section reminded me of being in the mountains. Amazing view and a thrill in a sports car.
i want a forester with a ski box ...
i have a forester and i want an evo with a ski box🙄
boooooo
Trying to sale one with a ski box lol
Shout out to New Zealand! Yes its beautiful! I'm a kiwi
Am I the only one who hates screwing with those plastic panels just for a oil change??
Yes, just you
Not just you; was literally the only thing I didn't like about my old WRX.
When I owned my STI, I actually cut a square into the plate just for the oil plug. So worth it.
Seems like an after market hinged splash guard would be saleable.
ive left mine off
Man this series is awesome! the camera work, the music, the sound everything is soooooo perfectly built!
