My heart jumped for a second when they said giveaway! I'll never find such a stock one here in switzerland, they're all broken and riced out already. Happy to see this one, looks so good!
Thank you for rebuilding something beautiful instead of letting it be thrown away. It looks good as new and as long as it puts a smile on your face who cares if it was in a flood. The first video I was thinking this is such a waste of time and money running all that oil through the motor but I must say your efforts paid off. Props to Subaru for making an awesome car.
I've never been more inspired to work on my sti than I am now. I've been getting bored with it and not driving it for weeks or months. Now after watching your videos on this sti I want to start working on my sti and actually driving it like I use to. Thank you for the awesome content.
The difference between before and after the clear is insane.. What a great find Chris, couldn't think of a more deserving person. You're my favorite TH-camr.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for bringing the channel back down to "reality" for the rest of us :) In my late 30's, full time job, family, 3yr old son.. i am not buying cut in half lambo's and doing LS swaps... But i DO have a 2015 BRZ that could use some paint work ;) .. that being said.. i love everything you're doing, but when they are also useful to me.. BONUS
The more complicated drones with rth functions depend on gps signals and good signal to noise ratios from the controller If either are compromised, like perhaps when in heavy forest with snow cover, the return to home will trigger. If the gps is inhibited by heavy forest cover with snow, the drone can’t figure out where it is. It’ll crash Chris, every time. Just avoid heavy forest... it’ll do a lot better and live a lot longer.
The STI is supposed to fully unlock the centre diff when your handbrake is turned on. I think there is something wrong with your wiring given your handbrake doesn't seem to work properly and the lights turn off when you use it. The smell you're getting might be your centre diff clutches getting hot.
Glad to see it getting a second lease on life! Had it about a year and never got around to giving it the TLC it deserved. I see you found that the rack had studs drilled in for it lol.
Also Chris, you'd reduce your trash a lot of you make sure to clean underneath the hood, at least under the lip then back tape the hood to seal off the engine bay from the outside.
Drifting AWD cars is way harder than it looks. It takes a lot of power and commitment to overcome that grip! Plus, if your centre diff isn't decoupling as you pull the e-brake you could do some major damage
It's STI, don't use handbrake on snow or ice, just loosen DCCD so more power would go to back wheels and just use accelerator pedal and steering to control angle. It has more than enough power to do donuts on spot in snow.
Chris: Use a block so you don't sand through your basecoat Also Chris: Doesn't use a block and sands through basecoat Looks way better with some fresh base anyway! Almost makes me like a Subaru. Can't wait for the engine rebuild.
Great tips on fixing clear coat and paint issues, I will be using those techniques on my truck that has sun damage too! Paint job came out great and rippin’ out in the snow was pretty cool, but too bad the drone crashed, but the footage you had with the drone still was pretty cool!
Nice work with the wrx sti, you guys need more speed to do a handbrake turn, and learn it where you have bigger space( It can be expensive if you overdoit in small places, been there, done that..) Wintertyres is something I recommend too. Thanks for a good show!
It be cool to see you slowly build this into a rally car. Maybe find a course, time it, upgrade suspension, re-run it, upgrade wheels tires, re-run it, etc
Thanks for the timely tips. I was just contemplating about doing the same thing on one of the cars we have. One of it's fenders is suffering from the same clear coat issue.
Chris, I've never been entirely sure that this car was completed properly, by which I mean the engine does'nt sound right and even though you flushed the fuel tank, the engine oil needed the same treatment. These things have a complicated tune and reliability problems at best. Take that car to a dyno!
Day 1: Sand/Prep Day 2: Paint Day 3: Off road Day 4: Sand/Prep Day 5: Paint Good to see you guys to experience the Impreza plow effect. Hopefully the trans or rear diff didn't go BOOM
Keep doing what you're doing. I dont care about your little mistakes because you having fun doing it. I am a perfectionist like "80%" of your comment section but people need to chill. it's your car not ours :D keep the fun stuff coming. i really want to see what your plan is for this year.
That's friggen rad guys! To get such an awesome car to go rip around in and have a great time! And while being the cheapest one! Kick ass, looking forward to new episodes!
I think you guys are close to me. You know Emanuel and so do I so you must be close. I like your STI series so far. I have owned a few of them along with a Mattracks BAJASTI. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the next one...
Fun budget build! But for the love of all things car related will all THREE of you go take some driving courses with an instructor!!! I fear for the Burntican's life.
Hey! Remember that after you do the paint job, remove the rags, tape etc before the paint dries, otherwise you've a chance of peeling the clear coat, along with the rag/masking tape.
@@defnub or you listen again to the part that he says this isn't a fan giveaway. Which is also stated in the video description. The guys at the shop + Chels get into a challenge and winner gets to keep the ride and mod it, costs covered by BIFB.
Next time you have a roof rack or something like that, try rerack brother. They helped me get keys for my yakima kit so I didn't have to drill out the cores.
basecoat looked spotchy, so if i were to spray, how would i know when to do the clear coat. Does clear coat automatically even out the splotchy-ness of the base? Seemed like it did in the vid.
That mavic 2 pro is a great drone but if you want one to track cars better for a cheaper price check out the Skydio 2 drone. It handles wooded areas like that way better.
Chris, if you are not satisfied with the drone's performance and want to make very cool external shots while driving your cars, you should try an "Insta360 one X". I've seen what that camera can do on other channels and it's amazing. It's like having a drone following you at full speed but better. I don't want to spam, so I wont put any link to other channels, but If you are curious or interested, the video identifier string for a guy who bought that camera and tested It is "ZZ5Pn4X8L3s"; he starts to showcase the camera about five minutes and fifty seconds; he speaks spanish but the video has english closed captions.
Most drones use 2.4ghz control frequency, which is readily absorbed by water, which included fog, rain and falling snow. It's a bad idea to fly drones in these conditions, because they tend to lose signal and crash.
I would've pulled the hood scoop off so that I didn't have delamination or separation lines with the hood, especially with the clear coat. My .02. Came out well otherwise.

Petition for Chris to stop all his projects and give the shop some love. Like if u agree!

TuBBster Cole I feel the update he made tho the Paint Booth is perfect! That’s the vibe I’d love to see with his actual shop as well
@@StylezOnline yup. Just essentially making a more pleasant space whilst at the same time keeping its diy authenticity.
@@tubbstercole4987 he should at least get a lift and a small shed for storage or build a real shop(IE a 30x50 that most homeowners with any real amount of land AT ALL could have)
But that's what makes these videos relatable!
I love the look on these old STIs more than the new ones!
I agree. They also had cool names; Stinkeye, bugeye... Raptoreye because they did not know what else to call it.
Clemence pain. I love that even more haha
@@clemencepain9963 Yeah.. bugeye is the only one of those that is actually right...
Clemence pain lo what the hell is a stinkeye, raptoreye? Hahaha
New ones are way too round
I’m so happy you’re showing more of your buddies on the channel this year!
The chip in the hood scoop is killing me
It's a magnet for my eyeballs, too...
I thought they said they will fix it since the last video......
Right? Can't they just friggin replace the hood scoop entirely...
@@iqbal55 Yeah, and since hawkeyes shared the same scoops between WRX and STI, they are fairly cheap to find. Like $80 lol.
Seriously 🤦♂️
My heart jumped for a second when they said giveaway! I'll never find such a stock one here in switzerland, they're all broken and riced out already. Happy to see this one, looks so good!
Sucks people ruined these cars like that in Switzerland
They ruined them everywhere. It's really weird that he found Hawkeye that is relatively unmodified in the US too.
"i hope you are happy we didnt sand in the paintboth"
30 secs later: im gonna pretend i didnt say that!

n0z4a243 nooo bro, rip it arround for those who can’t afford one !
You need to cover/seal the electrical panel in your spray booth! That can ignite the fumes in the booth when your painting! B will be for Boom!

When he said the racks had to die I was so happy lol but then he put them back on 🤦♂️
Same lmao
It looks better with the racks on and that’s a fact

some cars with day time running lights will turn the lights off when using the E-brake. my mk5 golf gti does this too if i would activate them.
@@tijger42yup the GD has this
Arguably the most genuine guys around. Not even a car guy and I enjoy the videos!
"Where is your vape?"
4:20 on the clock
As someone who has been painting for 7 years now, I was not shocked when he said welp looks like we're gonna have to spray base coat 😂
Glad to see it getting a second lease on life! Had it about a year and never got around to giving it the TLC it deserved. I see you found that the rack had studs drilled in for it lol.
@jurgenhop1 Yep, lost it in the Imelda floods here in Houston.
When they are higher than the drone 😂
😂
"Doing things you can't record on YT" "Hey Kyle you got your vape"
😂
He's already said in an episode before that he doesn't partake in those activities
Just like he said he was going to sand using a block but used his hand?
Or
When he said the roof racks were dead but they are back on the car?
Is 4:20 in the Subaru wen chris gets in after the drone died!!!!!!
My best racing drone crashes happen at 4:20, any time of day.
*nice*
Other stuff you can't really put on YT 😁
Nah I'm guessing the Raptor. It's the most comfortable and best hot boxable, if I may. Lol
And Chris was really close to it too with tye door open
Also Chris, you'd reduce your trash a lot of you make sure to clean underneath the hood, at least under the lip then back tape the hood to seal off the engine bay from the outside.
"Kyle, have you got your vape? Oh, we're already sideways."
This sentence is best enjoyed devoid of context.
"This is a budget build so repainting it wouldn't really fit the budget"
"Hey guys we just got a new paint job for the WRX STI!"
Bruh
Next time try it with the DCCD Sending the power to the rears for better slip on the snow!
Drifting AWD cars is way harder than it looks. It takes a lot of power and commitment to overcome that grip! Plus, if your centre diff isn't decoupling as you pull the e-brake you could do some major damage
Glad to see you doing what you love! Nothing better than a hobby that can be a lucrative at the same time.
It's STI, don't use handbrake on snow or ice, just loosen DCCD so more power would go to back wheels and just use accelerator pedal and steering to control angle. It has more than enough power to do donuts on spot in snow.
Love how the STI turned out! Looks great! Hawkeye WRX/STI's still my fav... Blobeye a very close 2nd.
What a gorgeous car! That has been my dream car since I watched Petter Solberg win the WRC title. I'm totally down for the challenge!
Bought a $10 Harbor Freight spray gun and automotive clear to fix a fender. Worked amazingly well. Can’t tell the difference from factory.
Chris: Use a block so you don't sand through your basecoat
Also Chris: Doesn't use a block and sands through basecoat
Looks way better with some fresh base anyway! Almost makes me like a Subaru. Can't wait for the engine rebuild.
Great tips on fixing clear coat and paint issues, I will be using those techniques on my truck that has sun damage too! Paint job came out great and rippin’ out in the snow was pretty cool, but too bad the drone crashed, but the footage you had with the drone still was pretty cool!
hahahah chris were you smoking some of that dank in the woods?
"...things you can't post on TH-cam..."
B is for Blasted
Smoking a wood, in the woods.
Blunted af
Yeah and the had a weed vape too
"I see he livin a Subaru life...can see the smoke from here"
Nice work with the wrx sti, you guys need more speed to do a handbrake turn, and learn it where you have bigger space( It can be expensive if you overdoit in small places, been there, done that..) Wintertyres is something I recommend too. Thanks for a good show!
It be cool to see you slowly build this into a rally car. Maybe find a course, time it, upgrade suspension, re-run it, upgrade wheels tires, re-run it, etc
I would buy a scale for mixing paint so you can get the exact color your looking for, your doing great with the paint jobs just a friendly reminder!
I feel like watching wild animal released into the forest when I see that STi off-roading
Funny story, my first car was a flood damaged 1980 Subaru DL wagon. I truely miss that car and wish I could find one for sale in good shape.
Thanks for the timely tips. I was just contemplating about doing the same thing on one of the cars we have. One of it's fenders is suffering from the same clear coat issue.
I like how the clock in the car during the off roading part shows 4:20... seems fitting.
Subaru really got the styling right with this car. Boy is that one beautiful car and so distinctive too.
A challenge where someone in the shop wins the car? Interesting. I am in for this build Chris. I LOVE the older STI and this one looks really nice.
That giveaway idea is great. Good to see someone else getting creative control over a build on the channel.
Chris, I've never been entirely sure that this car was completed properly, by which I mean the engine does'nt sound right and even though you flushed the fuel tank, the engine oil needed the same treatment.

Day 1: Sand/Prep

Day 3: Off road
Day 4: Sand/Prep
Day 5: Paint
Good to see you guys to experience the Impreza plow effect. Hopefully the trans or rear diff didn't go BOOM
Turned out great! Love the hawk eye body style, and a steal being a flood car.
Wow the STI looks so good especially in its natural habitat❄️
Really enjoyed, truly one of the episodes where you guys seem to have the most fun!

What a great idea and reward for your team. Should go to whomever needs it the most, but do the challenge anyway.
The Scubaru turned out better than i expected! Now people can't say that you don't do budget builds anymore! :D

The new paint and clear coat looks absolutely glassy - sweet job dude! Keep doing what you do!
When you put on the clear, it looked so good 😊

Its good to see you guys havin fun again, you guys deserve a break!
Love seeing you guys having light hearted fun, the lambo seemed so intense.
I'm here for that time lapse music
Great repair paint job Chris, looks great! That footage at the end with the forest trails and snow looked like a rally stage!
Hey! Remember that after you do the paint job, remove the rags, tape etc before the paint dries, otherwise you've a chance of peeling the clear coat, along with the rag/masking tape.
I really wish i had friends like you! You just make life look so fun doing what you love i cant wait to do that too
Good to see this get a good second lease on life.
Surprised you didnt remove the roof trim with it coming off so easy for paint.
Your BREAKER BOX is in your paint booth! can you say KABOOM?!
Those timelapse shots with the water/clear coat drying is damn cool
Should have called the Lockpicking Lawyer to get the racks off lol
Got excited for a second, thought I had a chance to win the STI 😂
Its good theyre not gonna do streetspeed717 style
IKR....what sort of "give away" gives the car away to the people on the show? That's not really a give away.....thats more of a "here you get it"
It's a giveaway twice 2 times , once to mod it with one of the b is for build crew then to giveaway to a fan/subscriber. Listen to it again

Richard Burns and Colin McRae are looking down in tears of laughter
OMG I want it! Always wanted a Subaru! Cant wait to see the mods!
Dose it concerned about the lights turning on and off when they try and e-brake turn
It's designed that way on most cars . Some cars you have to cycle ignition for it to turn them off with the e brake engaged some not.
Should permanently delete the roof rails 😬
Why would the lights go out in the Subaru when you were trying to do the U turn?
When you pull the parking brake on an STI it turns the lights off
cars that have DRLs when you pull the e-brake the lights will turn off
That makes sense, thanks :D
@@GregBuda Either way this is true for Imprezas of this era that are manual. e brake gets pulled, lights go off.
@@GregBuda well then your shitty honda has got a wiring issue
What a beauty of a car. Good work man she looks awesome.
Chris, so proud for you! You have come a long way.
Yoo Chris I think you should wrap the top black, it would even save the roof from fading again
Dude...replace that scoop! Not only is it not the same color, but it also has that large chip.
Thanks, it's always fun ripping in the snow.
Most drones use 2.4ghz control frequency, which is readily absorbed by water, which included fog, rain and falling snow. It's a bad idea to fly drones in these conditions, because they tend to lose signal and crash.
This is such a fun series to watch!! Thanks for uploading these
I want to be the winner of that STi 😍😍😍. I'm waiting for next episode...... if not the STi, at least give me the drone
I can't wait for you and the "DAHMNATOR" to go on that Cruz..👍good job guys!👍
Methinks it'll be a while, just watched RD's "First AWD RX-7 Test Drive. Wheels finally spin the same speed."
Put some snow tires on that for winter and it will blow your mind. I bet it would beat the rapter in a snow drag race
Nobody: do we let the clear dry/cure all the way?
Chris: no just send it
Love that the car says 420 on the clock good work bois
I would've pulled the hood scoop off so that I didn't have delamination or separation lines with the hood, especially with the clear coat.
My .02. Came out well otherwise.
You should go full WRC with this Suby. Cage, jacked suspension and rally lights
The STI is the car I use on Forza Horizon 4 in the winter time. It's also my dream car outside of the EVO 7
Send me all your broken drones... I will Frankenstein them together = )
This was hilarious. Congratulations Adrian!!!
