We Built a $10,000 Subaru that BEAT A Lamborghini

- We modified this old Subaru and made it THREE SECONDS faster than a Lamborghini for LESS than £15,000. We did everything from upgrading the brakes and tyres, to completely stripping the interior and turning up the boost.
Because we wanted to see if two normal guys, with no real mechanical experience and a small budget could really build a car that was capable of beating a supercar. We got some stuff right, we got some stuff VERY wrong - but here’s how it went.
We’ve been modifying this Subaru over the last 6 months to try and make it faster than a Lamborghini for £15,000. Now it’s finally time to see if it can be done.
Over the last 6 months, we’ve fitted an uprated clutch, a set of coilovers, some sticky semi slicks, stripped 136kg of weight, upgraded the brakes, fitted stiffer anti-roll bars and then finally we pushed the car from 196bhp to 304bhp. That means we’ve spent just £9065 of our budget INCLUDING the car.

I feel like Donut Media and Driven Media have each made a series that gives a completely opposite view of Subarus lol
Donut Media is a joke lol
@@kingo5940 explain.
@@warlxrd5317 What is there to explain, they blew up their car cause they ignored an engine break in period, and the way they modified lowcar was absolutely bafflingly stupid. It was embarassing to watch. They went in with absoltuely no idea as to what they wanted to archive and threw parts at both cars that didn't really make sense.
@@JohnDoe-tx2ys thx
@@JohnDoe-tx2ys but that was the whole point right? I mean Installing low cost parts.
1:16 throwing some shade at donut love it
Best series that I have seen all 2022.... Every single episode was entertaining... 👍👍👍
I wholeheartedly agree. One of very few long series I have enjoyed watching in its entirety :)
I'm curious where high/low car would be on that leaderboard it would be great to see all three of those cars together on the same track.
The budget for this car is much lower than the low car, that would definitely be interesting.
Donut's philosophy is just "throw money at things until they work", the scooby wagon is much better built and would smoke donut's wrx's
Think this could be a cool episode idea.
This! It'd make a fun collab
I mean youve seen their lap times... This thing would destroy donuts high and low car
Donut made a "never buy a Subaru" ad while these guys made a "buy it if you're willing to do a shit ton of work to make it worth the money" ad. Interesting dichotomy.
"It'll work good and last if you're smart about it" ad.
Now make it beat everything else!
Time Attack car!
a budget time attack car would be absolutely sick ngl
It already beat some Porches & Ferrari's
Duncan mapped my wrx. he is genuinely the best. ran 340 on standard block and box.
Alsp, as a 12 year old, i helped build surrey rolling road with my old man yonks ago. charlie is a good man.
Awesome series guys - Glad to have played a small part in it beating it. Making it a sub 8 min Nurburgring car next ? :)
Someone send misha a msg
That car would definitely run a 7:50 something
@@drewlindsay3553 Sounds plausible, if the engine doesn't overheat or die.
For a sub 8 minute lap time, only a SUBaru can be the right car
Despite what commentors may have said, you guys did this right. All the supporting mods (tires, brakes, suspension, etc.)...and then lastly power. Great series!
Fortunately the engine didn't blow up like Donuts Subarus.
Apparently they had a beefier engine, which was the one more prone to blowing up
Not one not two but 7 engines
Yeah lol
Donut media are just clowns making "car videos" for kids.
@@commandergeokam2868 i know first hand that subaru engines have their issues, but i got to thinking about donut media and the problems they had and i think it comes down to 3 things:
1. The desert heat
2. The long sweeping corners (boxer engines without a dry sump haaaaaate these, because it causes oil starvation at the sump and pooling at the heads and valve guides)
3. American cars are notoriously badly maintained in general, though i do think this is probably a non issue in their case.
by far the most enjoyable car mod series on yt in recent history, insane
I got a Subaru mid-roll ad, so clearly the approve of all your aftermarket work.
On a personal note, lloking forward to what Overdrive does in 2023! See you there.
Man, this is exactly the reason why modding a car is so exciting🤩 Beating a Lambo with a Subaru is definitely a magnum opus that deserves to be engraved in a car history museum!
I'd honestly be willing to wait for better weather to see a rematch on a proper circuit like Donnington. Dry, warm weather, and a full race track to really see what times can be achieved. You might even be able to find some more upgrades on the Bananru whilst you're at it??
I usually really don't enjoy the 10 min of "music + timelaps" kind of video, and i can say that you made the right choice with your narrative editing, and it was a really fun video.
Thanks!
now make your pt cruiser beat a lambo
🤔
@@OVERDRIVE.studios Oh no
@@OVERDRIVE.studios 🙃Give in to your dark side. Let the hate flow through ̶y̶o̶u̶ them 🤣
maybe on a drag strip?
Let the intrusive thoughts win😈
This way better than donut. I've been clinging to the edge of my seat every episode. Bravo!
thats cuz donut is made for glue eaters
This was such a brilliant series. Can’t wait for the next modding challenge!
For guys that supposedly don’t know much about the mechanics, you certainly did a better job than Donut Media.
That's because Driven Media actually did listen to the Subie community.
Unlike Donut
@@SkylineLofe man, you're complaining too much... they get in to explore, and even when they blew 3 engine they keep going... stop being so critical all of you and enjoy the content, maybe they didnt knew the plattform but they show to a lot of people what is to work on these engines
@@ignacioalanis7119 average donut media enjoyer
Now you have the car, try to beat that 1:16.7 when its warm and dry, it was a fair fight, but it doesnt completely translate to optimal track conditions, im sure Scott would agree 😁 And WE get to see more of the content!
would love to see a dry laptime with same conditions as the original to see how much it improved over the original lap
Donut media left the chat. xD
What a series this was. Very epic.
It would be cool to see the bananaru do a laptime in warmer and dry conditions. You could compare it to the original Lambo time in the first video
yes sir all the right mods = similar to what i did to my SF5 GT forester = super great fun driving car !
Definitely one of my favourite series of last year. Super fun to watch. Keep it up guys
I just discovered this channel yesterday and I binge watched the subaru series; amazing content guys!
These shows are exactly the kind of stuff we want to see 👍🏼👍🏼
Doing that on the standard TD04 turbo is great work. Staying top mounted but enlarging the top mount intercooler and mating it to the TD05 16g turbo gets you to a mapping at 340 / 350hp - for me that was the sweet spot in my Subaru journey. The 2L engine in the blob eye that you have has not really for the head gasket issues of the later 2.5. - Keep going and then take on something hotter still. Nice work. Keep going. I look forward to series 2.
The engine is fine, the 5speed is glass :D but I still want to see Driven media with 40k usd budget, that would be awesome
Great series guys. Can't wait for series two and more video in the new year.
I hope you have a chance to to do a proper lap with the subaru on this track during summer, just so we have a proper notion of how much faster it is now!
More of this. Fantastic series. Watched all episodes twice!
Favorite series, very excited each time a video came out and would cook a special meal to eat while I Watched it!
One of my favourite series on TH-cam, awesome content. 👍🏽
Well done lads! This series was great start-to-finish. And not only did you beat a Lamborghini, you did it better and cheaper and less explody than Donut 😅
And here's an Idea for the next challenge: Beat my 600+hp BMW 1M. Good luck! 🤟
Now im finding it suspicious that Donut media blew so many engines but Driven Media (Overdrive) car ran smooth all series
It's simple: Donut didn't want to do the proper research and didn't want to listen to the Subie community lol
@@SkylineLofe plus it brings them more views since people like seeing things blow up. Must be a pain for their mechanics tho😭
@@marioelburro1492 It also feeds the idea of the subarus being unreliable so its helps their fan base. Also bc donut media is a much larger company they have more money to throw around. Because more money is more views
Loved the whole series. Looking forward to the next series.
This needs to be run again in the dry and if it loses then spend the remaining budget.
Great series much enjoyed. Thank you
That Subie looks exactly like my dearly departed '04 wagon. I miss you little Subie.
11:12 “just don’t pick something with a boxer engine”
This series was absolute gold, banana gold.
Why this is not on TV it's gold
Watched all the episodes of the series. And I gotta admit rarely any other series exists that made me so excited!
I love my Subaru. Glad y’all gave this one some love!
I want to see another series like this man. it was amazing to watch and se the Subaru grow into a fast car
would be nice to see the subaru in the summer and dry road, see if it can come down to 1,16 ;)
Please send the Bananaru down that track again in the summer, so we'll see the real improvement.
I saw the title and thought... They spend 10k to make it brake down faster than a lambo? I was wrong... Still cool :) Greet from Holland!
Just binged watched the whole series. Great videos 👍
this was very satisfying to follow along.
I'm excited for the new season
Really good series this. Buzzing for the next one
Enjoyed that.
Exited about my 02 Impreza 🙂
Well done amazing effort! Incredible!!!
So, I've owned my WRX 04 Wagon for a couple of years now and it's not my first Subaru. I've uprated the brakes to 8 pot D2s on the front and got braided and new hardlines all round. New Exedy racing clutch and an ultra light fly wheel. I need a new exhaust next and I'm about to strip the interior but I've had doubts. Now I have no doubts. I'm going for it. I'm excited but also on a budget so... this time next year...
You guys did a better job than Donut media. Those knobs just set out to drag Subaru through the mud. Hats off to you guys for showing how to do it right.
+104bhp on a 140k miles Sub from a remap alone is impressive. This series is sick
Something similar was crossing my mind. Stripping my Audi A6 quatro and going full send on the compressor pully. Then drive it with hearing protection *lol
So much fun! Looks killer too!
All these subaru builds on my feed making me want one lol
The 4wheel drive probably helped significantly. And being turbo you can wind up the power easily.
theyre both awd
This makes me want to track the progress on my RSX
Really excited for series two!!!
Great content lads, enjoyed every episode!
need more episodes of using the full budget. verse a better supercar
New it made 221 horsepower AT THE CRANK so 196 at the wheels isn't bad!
All vehicles have a crank hp rating, but there is losses throughout the driveline. So all that power does not actually make it to the wheels.
The 300ish you made at the wheels would put the engine's actual output closer to 330. Unfortunately there no set "this is what you lose" number and all cars are different. Some may lose 20hp some may lose 120hp.
196bhp at the wheels would make more sense as a before figure but there is no way it made over 300bhp at the wheels on the standard TD04.
Conversely if 196bhp was the crank figure to begin with (which would suggest the car was somewhat unhealthy!) I don't understand how it then made such incredible power with the mods/mapping. The TD04 is usually only good for 280bhp with all supporting mods.
My JDM WRX of same era made 273bhp at the crank with the standard downpipe still in place.
Driven media did a way better modify Subaru that all the budged of donut media, congrats
Really looking forward to season two!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this series!
you guys should go back with similar track conditions and see if you can beat the 1:16
best way to end the year. thx boys
I loved this series. Next up, '23 brz?
Hope to see more of this!
This series gives me inspiration to build a supercar killer of my own... but im also skeptical, I'd love to see an outside pro driver's lap times with both cars in good conditions!
Ahah definitely, it'd be my dream, and they're inspiring me a lot too. Although I have the budget, i definitely don't have the time, patience, skills and motivation to accomplish such a thing q.q
Very well done
Now how about using the rest if the budget to see how fast it can go! And what supercar that is comparable too
Great series, but needs a final weight saving. Add a roll cage and remove the roof, doors, windscreen.
finally i found it the new top gear
I'd love to see the rest of the 15k budget get used to make it even faster. and test again once some dry and warm weather comes around again.
Over the moon with the Bananaro!
Super entertaining. Keep at it boys
This Series was a banger
Is there some sort of petition we can sign to have these boys be the presenters of Top Gear?
That’s a brilliant idea
I daily a 08 base model mustang but I want to get something else so I can throw it around a track. If I do some good weight reduction and upgrades I think it’s gonna be a fun project like this
Fantastic series!
Some more time and that remaining 5grand and it could be improved still quite a bit!
Meanwhile Donut…
Should install a proper cage & Harness for safety and do some more track days! See if it can beat a supercar around a track like Silverstone or something bigger
New engine, brakes, gears, wheels, tyres - this is Trigger's broomstick.
Very much enjoyed the vids guys! Would be cool to see what you can do with a larger turbo
blow up the engine on the dyno
@@tomredman pop a hg and build a motor, sound like a good way to get a bunch of views ;)
Great series! Please do a track day in this car
Please pick something faster than a lambo and continue the upgrade, there should be still plenty of money and potential left in this project. We love Subarus.
I would love to see if you guys could do the same with and old hot hatch vs it newer models
Congratulations
Kinda curious, if you keep the interior can it stay faster? That should be great
Keep going with the upgrades until the budget is exhausted and then compare with a modern supercar
Building A Lampo Beating Subaru lol!😂
I think Lambo has been doing that since they were known more for their fast cars than tractors...
No real experience, guts an entire vehicle
Over all well done!!! But guys why not boxer engine?
The power of two guys and a richard
Keep going! Budget time attack car?
Thank god you took those mudflaps off, no longer cool now that you see them on crosstrek along with a 1” lift and sparco’s
