So excited to see this build. Found you when I bought my VB. Love the 22B clone. The 2 door is such a beautiful car. I know you're going to kill it. I'll be tuning in more for sure. Lets gooooo🕺🕺🕺🕺
Thats that Compass and Gauge Cluster Option on the 2.5RS and Forester, Was an Option back in the 90s and pretty sought after now as a period piece. KEEP IT.
The "NOOOOOOOO" after the first bump start attempt was pretty funny. I think anyone who's ever attempted to bump start a car knows exactly how that feels. 😂
3rd is good just be ready to push in the clutch so you don’t bog. I can start mine by myself in 3rd but if I have people pushin I do second. Also don’t forget power otherwise your waisting some energy.
😮 EG Resurrection??!! Heck yeah! Never give up T. I currently have had it with my A91 bmw supra issues codes, "unfixable" misfires, faulty fuel pump, bad turbos and so on. It's positive videos like this that make me wanna 2j swap it 😂. Surprisingly tho 330whp on my 17 wrx 6yrs running strong 0 issues og motor and 2nd owner! Thanks to you're advice and videos, my subie has lasted this long and beyond👍🏽!
@Smeedia It's been one thing after another, small stuff that turned expensive real quick. Also, finding a proper tuner that knows what they're doing has proven a challenge where I live. One turbo was cooking oil/not flowing properly, and the other had a loose compressor wheel (replaced both). Then, the fuel pump was "hiccuping" (what I was told). Ended up replacing the whole fuel pump assembly and a cuple sensors with friends, now it throws codes all over the place, and 4 technicians couldn't scan the ecu, due to some sort of lock-up safety system?( no one on forums knows about). And the dealership is a no-go. Either I sell it or save up to do an engine swap in the future. For now just trying to recover some losses 💸💸💸. + the engine bay as a whole is literally plastic over plastic on top of plastic before the motor 🙄, 60k car my @$$ lol. I miss the days back when you'd open the hood, and it was just the engine. I've supercharged a 98 civic, single turboed a v6 F150, superchared a 07 mustang, fbo-ed a 07 mazdaspeed 3, properly modded my wrx,(thanks to your teachings) ,and this toyota has bursted my blood vessels through the roof lol. IT JUST WON'T WORK LOL, 😠😂😅. I'm sure you know the feeling😅✌🏼.
@@Smeediait’s going to be an incredible series, like watch every episode multiple times incredible lol. I’ve watched this video 3 times already lol i’m just too excited. Other TH-cam channels have done this but they aren’t smeedia so it’s already going to be infinitely more awesome and fun
Man, I miss my old dumpy 95 2.2 Impreza L coupe. It was red with black accents, and I had swapped the headlights, grille, and hood with like 99 facelift stuff. The hood was a black scooped & vented one off an outback sport. Believe it or not I was even able to find junkyard replacement glass foglights for the early year bumper I had. That thing was a dog but she was a good egg too, never let me down. I sold it because of rust/rot but it still lives in one of the towns nearby. It went to a body shop guy originally, and I think he sold it to another car builder. Dunno how they treat it on the regular but it sounds like it went on to have a good life. I've seen it driving around in different states of being, but I wanna see that exact car I used to own just fully done up and built when I go to one of the local car shows. That would be so cool. Random fun memory I just had. I took some of those Impreza fender turn indicators and put em on my 97 Accord. It was way cheaper than buying the JDM ones on eBay, aka they were free instead of like 120 bucks for the legit JDM Accord ones. I feel like it's universally understood that anything that fits in your pocket without looking obvious is fair game at the junkyard. Definitely keep the compass. I haven't seen one of those in a hot minute, I remember them looking a bit different. Maybe there were different versions?
@@CompressorSurge It's still in Connecticut... I dunno. I don't have a reason to drive through that town any more as it's no longer part of my daily commute. I'll tell ya what though, I saw a lot of real GC8 Imprezas yesterday at Gridlife. Quite a few bangers including what may have been a legit 555 liveried car. Didn't really spend a lot of time with those cars as there were too many other things going on and other cooler cars to see, not to mention the race and the paddocks. It probably was a real 555 car though considering the pedigree of everything else there including real Top Secret, Tommy Kaira, & Mine's cars.
@@CompressorSurge Well over here in the rusty Northeast, not so many on the road these days. Every once in awhile you'll catch one in the wild. So probably back in 2012 I almost bought a 2.5RS 4 door for $2.5k. It was rusty as shit, I passed. I found myself a 98 Legacy GT instead for the same price, a bit beat up but probably half or a quarter of the rust. And it had the same powerplant as the 2.5RS, no brainer. The fact that Tanner apparently paid $3.5k for that shitbox is just wild, he's right that's a $500 car or less.
Thank! You! TANNER! I have an 08 hatch that I want to convert and I needed a nuild sheet to help. Folks always discourage from building a non turbo Subaru to one and that's why many seem to stay away from the community.
this is giving me flashbacks to my old 2000 2.5rs , poor thing had all the miles , nearly killed me from a loose wheel nearly falling off on the highway , and then proceeded to crack every Ringland known to Subaru kind lol. ended up selling it to a Honda tech down in Seattle who supposedly did an sti swap on it.
G'day brother I really enjoy your content even though sometimes I'm busy as with family responsibilities. I know it's disheartening sometimes working on vehicles is a pain in the ass but eventually all the bullshit is worth it when it's going and enjoyable to let the revs scream.

I live in South Hill and I think I've seen you running down 122nd a time or two. 😉
Don’t need the column. Just need the immo unit keys key switch with antenna And the ecm. I took the ignition switch off an 06 sti column and it mounted to my 85 rx turbo manual rack with no modification. Besides the making the bolts removable.
It was unfortunate to see that after all the hard work on the rx7 there are again unpleasant surprises and once again everything has to be taken apart. At the same time, very excited about the new project and what you plan to do with it! Good luck! Hope you enjoy it

Hey @smeedia I had question for you. On your bucket valve math video for Subaru. How did you get your desired lashing measurement? Is based on the cams spec?

I think anyone who's ever attempted to bump start a car knows exactly how that feels. 😂
I was pulling for it to run 😂 should’ve used second though 😂
2 or 3 gear to bump start lol
First definitely was not working 😂😅
Yeah, a higher gear will turn the engine better... Always go 2nd or 3rd..
Yep just about to say 2nd gear
Came to say the same thing, was told to do it in 2nd gear when I was studying automotive.

2:27 in…. Pro tip…. If you push from the open door. Its waaay waaay easier. And quicker to hop in and pop. 🤷🏼♂️💯😇
I couldn’t get it going quick enough from the door 😅
Pro tip pro tip: bump start in 3rd gear instead of 1st, once I learned that it was so much nicer for the car.

But I’m on board for whatever you run, it’s going to be so rad!

Use 2nd gear, when push starting!!! It’s heaps easier… Don’t have to get it rolling so fast!
Second gear next time 😅🫡
I've been waiting for this series of videos! Thanks for bringing me entertaining content bro! Honestly look forward to your videos
Use 2nd for a jump start ✋
You dropping the exhaust with that laugh had me howling 😂
Thing just kept dropping lower and lower 😂
For the sun roof, it might just need a new relay soldered to get the sun roof to work again.
When we start pulling it all out I’ll check it 💪
yeah..Hartford did it...I m just waiting for you to sti swap my bug eye when you come to Aus
6:27 here's the positive, generally the crust and junk stops the rust
There’s most definitely some crust and junk 😂
RETURN OF THE SUBARUUUU LETS GOOOOOO
Had to get the FD all sorted for the most part 💪
BOUT DAMN TIME!!!
Facts
Excited to follow the progress!
Excited for these two 🎉
Make it the seafoam color like the fenders. That would be rad.
THE DAY OF RECONKING HAS COME!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! (Sorry for caps! I'm excited!)***SPIDEERRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS***
THE TIME IS UPON US
22b is a stroked ej20k. Hit me up tanner as I built one with the stroker kit. Fun fact to go shimless buckets by using the ez30d buckets!
Oh jun makes cams for 272/272 if my memory serves me but they are special order and we're expensive
Currently turning my NA Outback into a Touring Wagon...type...thing. Not nearly as complicated as RS to 22B tho. It's more like making an RS a WRX.
Spinney yappin in the background
Did I hear that right?? 3.7 liter EG33 trunk mounted and twin turbo??
Yesssssir 👀
I’ve been waiting for the is for ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Let’s get this thing going 🎉
So glad your getting into the gc chassis again could one of em get tssfab subframes n wishbone?
Finally back to the RELIABLE brand of cars. If you're going "full out" on your clone, does that mean anti-lag is on the menu?
The haltech will allow us for anti lag 💪
@@Smeedia that will sound soooo good.😁 and loud
Hey @smeedia I had question for you. On your bucket valve math video for Subaru. How did you get your desired lashing measurement? Is based on the cams spec?
Like where did you get the .010?
The Cam Card will tell you what spec you want to target 🫡
Ohhhohohhh i'm ready for this! (Forgot to send my comment 3 days ago lol)
Love it all, Brother!
But the Unicorn in the clip of the RX-7… Sup with that?
