One small automotive youtuber to another, love the content! You just earned yourself a sub. Keep up the good work!

[@RoadPatina]

Thanks Bud! Keep at it, one step at a time!

It's nice to see a detailed series on a 2.5rs build given that there aren't that many on youtube. I'll definitely have to revisit this when I get one of my own.

[@RoadPatina]

Much appreciated! Good luck on your hunt.

[@bradpittiful7288]

love that your getting it back to stock...my driver seat has much wear...i have to keep sewing the seams back together...2000 2 door rs original owner here

[@RoadPatina]

Much appreciated! I love hearing there are still a few original owners out there. Keep her forever, or sell to me!

[@benrichards9914]

[@jacobydavis965]

I think you really got yourself a great start to whatever you want make this thing into

[@RoadPatina]

Thanks! I have a few ideas in the works.

faux carbon trim wasn't just in 2001, it was an option earlier as far as I know. They put it standard in 2001 since they had so many left over.

[@RoadPatina]

Great info! Maybe I'll install it to spruce her up a bit.

[@Rannd]

Glad to see you removed that harness bar. They should be illegal to even be sold.

[@RoadPatina]

Are they unsafe for street use?

[@Rannd]

@@RoadPatina Not safe for any use because if you get T boned, it will just bend

[@RoadPatina]

@@Rannd Also, I don’t like running harnesses without a cage in the event of a rollover. I like my head and spine!

Do you like pasta?

[@skatetown100]

I was or am a fan of those seats!! 🙂 hehehe.. Corbeau Sportline RRS I think ... Did you find that that they sat lower than stock seats? I want to sit lower in my GC8 .. you have also inspired me to detail mine the right way. hahaha

[@RoadPatina]

Glad I can help get her cleaned up! Yes, these seats sit lower than stock rs seats and lower than sti gc seats

[@skatetown100]

@@RoadPatina right on!!!!!!

[@drewpickard554]

Lol that shift knob, I have the OEM version of the one you took off, I HATE it so much. The normal leather one is alot nicer

[@RoadPatina]

Wish they still made the red stitch knob!

[@rossgarcia3112]

Where do you find the replacement parts?

[@RoadPatina]

Some are still available from Subaru. Most I find used on FB or OfferUp

[@rossgarcia3112]

Thanks for the info. If you decide changing coilovers let me know.

[@ErnestMas]

some one makes a metal rear speaker panel online

[@RoadPatina]

I’ll look for it, thanks!
