Hi guys, I’m the old git (61)who owned this car from 2017 then gave it to my son who then sold it on in 2021ish. Sorry about the paint on the rear bumper ,a rattle can special which is about as good as your wrapping on it. The clutch has always been high and I’m not surprised that it’s gone. I’m amazed the engine is taking the abuse as it was starting to use oil when I had it. It’s brilliant what you are doing , keep it up. I would name it “Lambo slayer” well hopefully. Jim
This channel is brilliant. This is the exact crap DIY that my buddies and I would do when we first got our cars. Bumbling through it like toddlers. Fellas, keep at it. It's so refreshing to watch. Your honesty speaks volumes.
I really hope this channel blows up. You guys are good fun, better personalities and come up w/ much more interesting challenges and content than many similar channels.
Yep I struggled to come up with anything and the second i thought i got a good idea i checked the comment section and found this My creativity is at a level so low that it honestly gives me depression
@@Namington yeah Or maybe even Subanaru Shorter, easier to pronounce even tho the banana is not quite there anymore But everyone would still have an idea what it means
This is a really brilliant topic, I’m really into track cars and track days, living on an island makes it difficult so this helps! Stage by stage development in this form is brilliant viewing given the goal. Really looking forward to the rest of this, I have my fingers crossed on the budget build, I recon it’s going to be close either way.
Honestly impressed you guys knocked it out in 24 hours. My first time was doing it outside under trees, so was constantly washing and making sure the prep did it's job. Aside from working on this throughout the week, it took me about 6-8 days to do myself.
@@ruckerT4P if you have rough surfaces I would suggest it for those areas. after laying down the wrap, there were some area by the side skirt that I sanded but not 100% that still showed through. This goes for any dents you may have as well
The first car I wrapped was my uncle's C6 from white to yellow (Avery Dennison)! It was just the two of us and it took us two weeks. Mon-Fri was from 6pm-10pm. Weekends was noon to midnight. It was an incredible experience and I've gone to help wrap more cars with a friend. You guys did great!
Tbh im really surprised how well u handled the wrapping process. It looks amazaing for me, those bad spots doesn't really matter because u did it without a lot of help and that buys me.
I was thinking it would have been funny for the boys to have hired 2 professional auto wrappers to dress up like them and wrap the car. And to act like Scotty was the crazy one.
As a viewer, the car looks pretty good! I would have highly recommended doing a wet install instead of a dry one. It's way easier to get the fitment done, and easier on beginners.
I'm fairly sure that particular kind of material is only intended to be dry applied. I'm not familiar with any Hexis vinyl that is recommended to be installed in any other way; maybe, for windows and glass.
@@mjjjhaney1 Ah good point. Most vinyl that I have messed with can be wet when applied. The main thing is to use very little soap in your water. The more soap, the more risk you will deteriorate the adhesive. I haven’t messed with Hexis either so it may have some special adhesive.
It looks so good! Like you said, prep is king. I think if you had primered and sanded the bumpers first, you might have had an easier time with the wrap. Great job, though!
that looks epic, great job for complete novices at this, at I had a go at a mates wrapping shop, and first thing he taught me is to cold stretch and certainly NOT hot stretch, only use hot stretching for the edges of your panel nevertheless it looks good, certainly considering the limited amount of time you guys spend on it
Mods y'all need to keep this car running: OIL SEPARATOR - the PCV valve on this car is a major weakness and will give you engine-killing knock if you race it too hard. Drinks less oil & runs cooler with oil separator. OIL PUMP - a bit more pressure than stock keeps the inner cylinders lubed in hard turns SCCA guys figured this out the hard way, nerds that read NASIOC like me gotta pass it on!
Lots come to my mind, Race Taxi- Add a roof scoop looking like a taxi sign. Cabaru, Cheese Fingers, Corn Racer, Lemons Prototype(might be already out there 🤭). whoa lots popping into my mind just looking at the yellow wonder. Try yellow wonder too, if the ones earlier don't cut 😎😉
The best part of this video is Callum getting pissed off about the fender and Will is just standing there cradling the fill cap he wrapped like it's his child
this is my favorite series because this is my exact car. I get to have the enjoyment of seeing what mucking about would do to my car without any of the work or consequences.
There's still a lot of room to improve with a cheap price, remove the front bumper bar support, engine plastics covers, A/C, sunroof delete, front splitter, and why don't you upgrade the tire size, what make you think it will beat a Lambo with a 215 size? My Nissan Micra has a 175 tires but its a lot lighter.
You should spray soapy water down first, get it set up and then start heating it. This way you can move it, get the bubbles out and the heat gets rid of the soapy water and activates the glue
Suggestion if you have to do this again-rent a dry ice blaster to blow the paint off parts, remove the rust on the undercarriage, and more, without damaging the underlying structural metal. The tech was developed by the US Navy for stripping paint on ships without damaging the structural metal (unlike sand blasting). Works wonders and doesn't run the risk of these issues. Another would be going over it with an electric buffer & a thick slurry of baking soda+water. Another thing would be using something like the Daimer Industries hot water pressure washer that is designed to super wash the vehicles. Steam cleaning, power washing, etc., can do wonders to prep the surfaces. Another would be additionally using a clay compound "eraser" to *_scrub/polish_* the crap off. Given what you were doing, I'd have stripped the plastic parts to enable proper adhering of the wrap & to save material. :3
next, widen the front tires and lower pressure slightly, and increase rear pressure to make the back end more slidy and the car more responsive, don't do anything to the rear tire width
Call it the "Spoon Subaru" after the component brand, they used a similar colour for their cars. The other one i have is "Boxing Bee" because of the black stickers on the yellow background and assuming this thing has a boxer engine (not 100% sure)
Did Callum just say "I've never seen a Subaru in this colour" then proceeds to pull out the vinyl that's yellow? Callum, yellow has been a colour for the Imprezza for quite a long time already with it being on the ST204 and the recently S207.
I'm on the fence about wrapping my car, versus trying to polish the paint. It's a Ford Flex so considerably bigger, but also much straighter panels with fewer curves. I kinda thought there was more heating and stretching involved in a wrap though.

I can't wait for this channel to be full on top gear all three of the hosts have great charisma and aren't cringe. And the projects are engaging
I wrapped my car recently... 100% agree that it's both most frustrating and most satisfying work at the same time.

Smoke me a kipper!
Yeah, youtube Top Gear is back.
Perfect name for the series
YES
I love the similarities like they speak in British accent and so on, it fits a lot
It’s like top gear but starring people i would actually hang out with
@@willyonastick30 they also have legs and arms
Wow the change those wheels made with the wrap is amazing!
I feel like "Bananaru" fits pretty well with the new wrap.
I thought I was so original when I came up with that name in my comment but the second I sent it I saw this comment
Or Subanana, I guess. Subananaru?
Or Bananarooo
Yep
I struggled to come up with anything and the second i thought i got a good idea i checked the comment section and found this
My creativity is at a level so low that it honestly gives me depression
@@Namington yeah
Or maybe even Subanaru
Shorter, easier to pronounce even tho the banana is not quite there anymore
But everyone would still have an idea what it means
It’s been 3 weeks, I was expecting a more performance focused episode lol but wrapping is fine I guess ! 😂
There's no logic behind how often they post. This was an anime filler episode for sure. Not related to the plot at all lol.
There’s one hidden video in the playlist… do you know which vid that is?
Love the fact the Subaru matches the SLK now
Question is, are they going to spend any of their budget on custom aero too? Long tails work for McLaren so why not a ropey old Subaru estate!
Absolutely floored with how the final look turned out. Scott's "present(s)" made it all the more worth the work!
Will is just like Clarkson with the classic Clarkson line "How hard can it be"
Oh wasn't that what Clarkson had said back in the day?

Seconded
Already used for an official model by Dodge

Do I have to sand down the car in order for wrap
@@ruckerT4P if you have rough surfaces I would suggest it for those areas. after laying down the wrap, there were some area by the side skirt that I sanded but not 100% that still showed through. This goes for any dents you may have as well
Started off pretty shocking but not a bad end result, I’m Imprezed
Good pun 👍

Baboom. That's what I used to call bananas when I was small lol. It's a name suggestion lol
Keep it simple, call it the SuBee. Bonus points if you add some black stripes.
“Subee” like sue-bee
Subaru + 🐝
Scott: “We taking Subee tonight?”
Quadlock is actually amazing. Arm band and one for my bike. 10/10 approve that advert
"The yellow Subarine" fits perfectly with the new look of the car
you fellas are the top gear of youtube, keep the content up!
Quadlock is fire, had one in my car and was in a head on collision totaled the car and the phone stayed put
I was thinking it would have been funny for the boys to have hired 2 professional auto wrappers to dress up like them and wrap the car. And to act like Scotty was the crazy one.
I bet the lads were wishing they'd done when they were well into the night with lots left to do. A great idea though.
How about the "Minion" for a name?😆

Definitely don’t do it wet, that’s the best way to get edges lifting.(signwriter for a decade.)
@@merkel2750 Agreed, from a 17 year vinyl vet.
Very few vinyls are wet applications. I've never seen a material for a car that is wet application either
It looks so good! Like you said, prep is king. I think if you had primered and sanded the bumpers first, you might have had an easier time with the wrap. Great job, though!
You guys need to participate in a budget race something like lemons. You buy a beaten up old car and do some mods and just go for it
lemons is american
@@HaywireRides I know I said "something like lemons"
@@heshamalfahad3533 ah you right
Yellow Hawk.
Because it's Yellow and performes like the legendary RUF Yellow Bird. And it's a Hawk Eye Impreza.
This Hexis yellow is the exact colour and brand I'm using to wrap my car. Good to see it's relatively novice friendly.
Oracal are much better and cheaper too

What's the name of the wheels you have brought guys. They look bob on.
BOBARU is perfect. Bob the minion + subaru=BOBARU.
Name for the Subaru: Radioactive Yolk.
WE WANT A POWER EPISODE !
Dang, Impreza estate looks great in yellow.
Their admiring of it around 11:50 made me think of the name "Sunshine Subie"
Will you continue the series?
Call it the Lemon...pretty straight forward
Subaru Videos are too rarely coming out
Biscuit would be a great name
Bumble brx

OIL SEPARATOR - the PCV valve on this car is a major weakness and will give you engine-killing knock if you race it too hard. Drinks less oil & runs cooler with oil separator.

SCCA guys figured this out the hard way, nerds that read NASIOC like me gotta pass it on!
Also I vote **Rumblebee** since y'all propbably won't get to swapping the exhaust manifold.
This is like a combination of DONUT media and top gear, and I love it.

The Magic School Bus would be fun.
Great vid, Chaps!

I reckon you guys gotta go with "The Subarghini" then a sub-header/tagline "The Imprezive Supercar"
Call it Soobie the Scoobie!
The Yellow Soobmarine!

The Angry Lemon 🍋
ps: it's coming along nicely! loving this series.
Richard is pretty loyal haha 😂
This is absolutely fantastic, not to brag but I think the name "Super Lemon" fits this car best. Cheers!
Call it the "Lumberghini" since it'll be be lumbering around the track /s
Name it Kuntul. Kun is kuning which means yellow and tul is like tools. So it can mean the yellow tools that will take on the lambo. Somewhat
any idea on how much weight those wheels shave off per corner, if any? reducing unsprung rotating mass is more of a performance mod than people think!
Reminds me of my first WRX 03 wagon in Sonic yellow. It grows on you.
There's still a lot of room to improve with a cheap price, remove the front bumper bar support, engine plastics covers, A/C, sunroof delete, front splitter, and why don't you upgrade the tire size, what make you think it will beat a Lambo with a 215 size?

That car got you raging so much it has to be "The CanaREEEEE"
Since it's a step by step car build, I think it should be called "BOB the builder" !
I cannot believe how far this channel has come from when I subscribed 🤣
I really like their content
Chiquita Chopeye (because of "blobeye"), thats a fitting name ^^
Love the series! Hopefully you guys name it Bumbleprix like bumblebee and grand prix
How Colin after the Colin McRae the man that got Subaru recognized in the WRC
You should spray soapy water down first, get it set up and then start heating it.

The name is obviously Bumblebee, bit rugged but full of love

Why not just call it more fast? 🤗
Really looks like the Spec C Type RA R 🤤 Yellow with white wheels is my dream color combo
Those are some of the coolest rims ive ever saw, and im usually not impressed by rims. Super cool

Noticed you have an Astra in the shop, have you painted or wrapped that or done anything with it?
The yellow actually doesn’t look to bad on those subies, Smeedia did a yellow taxi wrap on his blob eye you should check it out
I think a great name is Skippy! Don't know why but it sounds cool
next, widen the front tires and lower pressure slightly, and increase rear pressure to make the back end more slidy and the car more responsive, don't do anything to the rear tire width

I had a yellow Volvo 245 wagon when I was in high school. My friends called it the Yellow Submarine.
You guys a going to beet a supercar. So call it SUPERU. Or maybe SUPERU INTENSA for a bit of Italian supercar flair 🤣👍
Man, it looks like a serious build now with the rims and the wrap, not a fan of the big "more fast" logos on the doors, but it looks great
Oh I have a few suggestions: Lambaru, Subarghini, Subi McSubface, and my favorite: Bob
The colapsing sun
What are those wheels called?? They look fantastic with the yellow. The same color theme that I have on my miata. White rpf1 with a yellow paint job
i didn't really know what to expect from this, but i was surprised by the outcome.
It looks AMAZING!! Good job guys!
