Has it got braided brake hoses? Pads might not be that great because seriously the old subaru 4 pots not even brembos, with slotted rotors, good pads and rbf600 fluid will stop on a dime and not fade on the road.
That car has a 20mm front bar and adjustable 22mm rear bar. Could you feel the suspension had more independence than your 22mm/24mm set-up, on those roads?
Very difficult to say …. I really would have needed to drive mine on the same day/conditions back to back. Was surprised how well it rode and was very compliant for such an aggressive car.
im running H&R antiroll bars on my wrx blobeye which are 24mm front and 26mm rear and its a scary car to drive when its damp or slippery out. it will understeer without even trying and the ride is a bit rough.
Eh! From Canada. Another great video. Any chance you could ask the owner what gauges he has in there. The types and brand. I see Volts, oil temp, oil pressure, and boost pressure from the video. Cheers
It was great fun. Do you need that much power? Probably not, but still loved it! My rule of thumb for road cars, is that you don’t need anymore than 300bhp.
My b5s4 is making 450/475 on a dyno and it definitely can be daily driven. You need some room because you’re at 100mph really quick but other than that there are no issues really. Stock motor hybrid rs6 turbos and e85 and it’s been at this power for years. About to grab a blob eye though and definitely will want at the very least 450whp.
Great video but after the fifth un skippable annoying interrupting advert I lost the Will to take it all on board. TH-cam is ruining the watching experience beyond all recognition. I found it impossible to comment anymore on the actual video because I'm thar passed off with the effing adverts.
I’m not sure what YT are doing. Some videos there’s one or two, others they pile adverts all the time! Very frustrating as I have no control over what adverts and how many! Wish I could do something ….
I’ve had my WRX 10 years now and she’s running 485bhp and she’s a animal and when the anti lag is on its scary, great vid keep them coming
Excellent review. I can feel that Subaru rumble and performance when I watch this👌
Excellent, what an absolute beauty.
They are not the fastest but one thing thou, they sure do stand out. Just by the name and sounds of it, still punk and intimidate a few!
Fairly new to the channel, loving the content. Just bought a megane gt 220
Thanks - GT220 is a good stepping stone to an RS model 👍🏻
Did this car ever go up for sale?
Another great video. Nice Subie!

legendary episode
Lovely build but for me a man in his fifties I like the standard clutch and just a little bit loud just a little bit.
Love my Hawkeye 👍🏽
A Beastie...❤ love this.
That fake roof vent ruined the exterior. What an odd choice. Everything else was so good

engine bay wouldve been nice if all of those red parts were black.
Damn this is almost if im looking at my own car so much similaraties.
You can make that power for a lot less than 10k, of course there getting old now but stock new age sti engines would run that power no problem.
RCM claim safe to 420
Some run 430-450 with reverse inlet manifold, front mount and air con delete etc.
I got mine 2 weeks ago:)

I’ll try too 👍🏻
They are prosport gauges mate
Great vid👍bit of a random question, are you the guy of the history channel
Thanks - no buddy I’m not. Interested to know who you think I look like off the history channel! 🤣
Series called dead Viking, little bit more hair than your good self but a ringer in ever other way 👍
Had my blobeye jdm spec for 11 years, and even though theres plenty of faster cars, they aren't half as much fun to drive. In my opinion.
Looks like immense fun, but I think it's way too much power to fully use & enjoy on the average B road

@@402car_kid4that's like an 11 sec 1/4 mile it'll lose all response
Forgive me wrx knowledge but in is a 2.1 stoker just a stroked 2.0 and not a 2.5 engine?
It’s a stroked 2.0 engine
Ej20 with ej25 crank
Nice 👍 sound brutal!
Did this car ever go up for sale or did the owner keep it?
It sold just as the video went live 👍🏻
@@FastandFun thanks, I’m after one of these 🙏🏼
@@tomgoring5013 I still own my blue blobeye STI and it always brings a smile to my face. A modern classic 👍🏻
@@FastandFun well if you ever want to sell it, give me a shout 🤞🏼
@@tomgoring5013 I think we’ll be old men before I sell it. One of those cars that I don’t ever plan to sell. Hope you find a good one 👍🏻

What turbo is being used?
Sorry buddy but I didn’t ask 🙈
@@FastandFun No biggie noticed was a blouch unit was just wondering which
It has a SC42 billet + turbo
@@dy131055 so that would be comparable to the lm420 or md321t turbocharger
I don’t know to be honest. My previous Subaru had a S206b turbo fitted and made 484 bhp
Mine's running 660.
Must be an animal 👌
@@FastandFun You could say that... frightening is a word I would use😉
Don't even know left from right.
