This cars been all over TH-cam the last couple weeks. But I’m still in awe of it. The Perfect sti for a true enthusiast. It’s got everything! (Except crash safety, so just don’t crash) I love it!
I always thought GC8s look way better as 4 door sedans. Instantly recognizable as a JDM car, too. A 4 door WRX with a hood scoop screams the real thing, too many ringer coupes out there, now.
The first car I ever recognised as a child was an 04 subaru sti, that car is and always is a dream of mine alongside this shape but you just can't find any in the UK and I'm only 20 and yet to get my licence, but I'm so happy I've found a channel like this to lust over subies, love it 👌
This is a masterpiece! Keep up this amazing work, your content just keeps building up in progress. Cannot wait to see what you have for us in the future :)
This was a super dope short video would love to see more like this in this style of real tuners and people actually like to drive there car and have a passion behind it
My god...this is one of the most amazing GC8's I have ever seen. I had a 2001 RS I bought brand new, it was my dream car. I lost it in a bad accident in 2005 :( I would give anything to have that car back. So amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just had an epic battle with an EVO 8 in my '99 Version 5 Type RA V Ltd, left him for DEAD! 5 minutes of dominating a twisty mountain Rd. It was like his handbrake was stuck on! Not bad for a stock WRX!
Now that is how you properly mod out a Subaru. Nice, clean, and aggressive in all the right areas. Makes me wish I still had mine. One of, if not the best model Subaru has ever produced. If Subaru ever made a updated version of this model, sticking to the 2 door coupe base design, I bet they'd sell like hot cakes. Come on, Subaru! Bring back the 2 door coupe rally monster we all fell in love with! *sigh* One can only dream of that happening.
The blob eye has always been my favorite style apart from the 22B, but man his headlights got me feeling some kind of way lmao! but in all seriousness the quality of this video was second to none and I can't wait to see more like this if you have them planned.
Personally i am an EVO lover myself but that specific Subaru is beautiful and powerful ,plus it takes corners like a Go Kart so yeah , sounds and drives fantastic , awesome car video !!!!
That is one damn fine ride, and I'm hoping she handles just like she looks. I love my car, but I can appreciate first class when I see it. Beautiful ride my friend, and the power to boot!
I ordered all the parts I needed online. And since I’m experienced at wire merges, did the merge my self, 1985 awd rx turbo sedan with 06 sti motor and exm/ engine harness. I used my stock column from 85 and just took the key immobilizer and antenna. It fit in the stock location in 1985
God I miss my GC8 sometimes... (I live in Japan) Wasn't nearly as nice as his. It was as he said all go and no show though. But still loads of fun. The first time I did a run with the GF at the time in the passenger seat I got the peripherals of her grabbing the seat to hold on to anything. :D
Great job Eddie! It makes me think, there’s so many horror stories of EJ motor failure that this car makes even more sense. A light chassis makes 400whp feel like 600whp would in my VA chassis. And it probably handles way better than mine could too. You dont need huge power if you have light weight...🧐 Btw, Regamasters look so dope on GC’s!
When i was in US in 2013 didnt see any GC. After i came in russia and in 15' buy my own GC it was like a trash can// so im still building HER cause i don't have such opportunities like your's and dont know when i finish//Damn, man that look is so perfect . Congrats! And Eddie nice shooting!
Actually, this is not a GC8. One must be careful when using chassis codes to describe first gen Imprezas, as only 4-doors have GC codes. This is a 2-door, which has a GM vin in the States. Also if it didn’t come from the factory with an STi engine, it would not have the number 8 as it’s third digit, either. It would have a 4 or 6 (denoting EJ22 or EJ25) But I’ll give that part to you since it has an STi drivetrain now. Also, it’s cool that the Driver-Controlled Center Diff was transferred over. Those are neat.
Beautiful car!!! I had a ‘04 Java Black Pearl STi back in 2006-2008 (sold it to go to school. I guess it Paid Off I’m service manager at a real good automotive shop in San Francisco) but I had pretty much the same set up as u except in a 04 sti. Again beautiful car
As much as I would want a GT wing on my '16 sti, I'd tell you to stay with your stock wing cus it looks sick on the 22b! The stock wings on the '15+ wings are enormous so I took mine off. But your stock wings fits perfect with your car
@@EddieNuffSaid I've been putting a playlist together to gather ideas and info for my GC8 swap. This guys gc is almost exactly what I envisioned. Definitely made my list.
Man this looks great. Ive got a 95 gc8 that i got for free. Its a daily at the moment but im keeping it and rebuilding it but doing a full ev conversion while still keeping my 5 speed awd setup.
So tastefully modified. 10/10 from me.
Jack Robertson Timeless look. I love old school Subaru’s!

@@EddieNuffSaid im supporting your 📹😀.
How all Subarus should be...so tired of seeing them slammed :’(
Yea I hate slammed Subaru’s
Griffin Coleman yeap
Maybe because I live in PA, I rarely see them slammed
We dont lower our Subies in Canada.
🚗💨RuMbLe
If lower a Subaru you really have no purpose to be driving.. 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly. Subie is Love
Damn I forgot this wasn’t a movie. Only 7 minutes. I wanted an hour. You got talent dude. Keep the hustle
Haha! 😊
This reminds me of gears and gasoline, the editing and filming in this video is amazing, keep up the awesome work 👍
They are one of my favorite channels and their videos are truly inspiring. Thanks for the kind words :)
EXACTLY what I thought... really nice content
Those headlights are sick
How do i get them headlights?
Yeah sick how can i get this headlights

GC swaps dont get enough love since the internet is all about " lets drift everything" ..love my swap , love seeing new vids of these builds
Eddie cant thank you enough for taking the time and filming this!! Iam biased but best video ever!
Thanks for allowing me to share your car and story. Looking forward on making more videos with you in the future to further share your progress :)
@@EddieNuffSaid Dope car, well taken care of. Lovely video. Lots of love from Kenya...
hope this beautiful car culture continues beyond the electric age
This cars been all over TH-cam the last couple weeks. But I’m still in awe of it. The Perfect sti for a true enthusiast. It’s got everything! (Except crash safety, so just don’t crash) I love it!
I have air bags still!
My favorite wrx impreza sti. 2 doors.
If the new sti has 2 doors they would sell 3 times more.
Always liked the 2 doors over the 4 doors and hatch models
I always thought GC8s look way better as 4 door sedans. Instantly recognizable as a JDM car, too. A 4 door WRX with a hood scoop screams the real thing, too many ringer coupes out there, now.
@@brendangeraghty8865 the gc is always 4door its gm that are 2 door and gf is for the station
@@GunnarGH12 JDM spec WRX’s and STi, 2dr and 4dr are GC8 and the wagons are GF8. The 8 represents engine type=2.0L Turbo.
@@brendangeraghty8865 I agree, I’ve had both but the sedan is my favourite.
That GC8 is soooo sweet looking and powerful af! More stuff like this, please! 😎😎😎
Such an iconic car, no doubt

This was one of the best filmed and edited short films of a car I have ever seen. Well done!
Thank you! Means a lot
Still the best looking subie made
Acu Robbie bugeye? Hawk eye? Stink-eye?

Such a quick car....I appreciate this Subie....great job on both the video and to that gentleman on his build.

Excellent car! Great balance of go-fast fun and every-day comfort, and it looks amazing too! Anybody would enjoy driving this car!
just a beautiful Project Car. Always happy to see good people with good cars
The cleanest GC8, don't @ me. I hope Alexander's GC8 looks good in the end too.
Im super excited for his!

Dream car right there..
So nice. I kept getting distracted when I was filming by looking at it too much lmao
For sure!
I love how the lights kinda gives the hawk eye vibe🥰
This video is sick! It really captured the caliber of your build kenji
This was a super dope short video would love to see more like this in this style of real tuners and people actually like to drive there car and have a passion behind it
Yeee I agree
Dude your cinematography is on point nice job
Thank you! 😊
such a clean and unassuming build. just like your video. i like them both very much.

Sorry to hear about the accident, but glad you're okay! Theres always an opportunity for the future
I Have never seen such a good video of a gc8
Nice job man
I have a gf8 and that video got me really motivated
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video & good luck to your build
Yes! More rsti's/gc/gm representing today!!! Keep up the great work eddie!
Chenchar Xiong Have to appreciate the OG Subaru platform. & thanks for the encouragement!
Oh man iam so glad you didnt do the whole gm chassis nazi code thing. Yes we all know its gm but most dont.
I just had an epic battle with an EVO 8 in my '99 Version 5 Type RA V Ltd, left him for DEAD! 5 minutes of dominating a twisty mountain Rd. It was like his handbrake was stuck on! Not bad for a stock WRX!
Such a clean tasteful build. So rare
One of my favs!
Respect for keeping a classic alive and fresh. 👍
What a totally perfect looking soobie and the paint looks like liquid. Flawless my friend, thank you for sharing with us
It’s a perfect build
Awesome modification.Most beautifull subaru i ever seen.100/10
It’s super clean!

Straight facts! I love this model
Absolutely nailed it with those wheels
love how this one is actually properly build and doesnt have hot air intake as most tuned cars, but a proper airbox ♥
Those headlights are sick. This car is sick. Well done
your gc8 is a pretty beast ,seeing this just make me want to prep mine a bit more
This car is awesome & hopefully it gets back on the channel again
made me lookup local listings. Great build. Great sound. Just Grrrrrreat

There are people who care more about how there car performs and not give a toss how it looks. They tend to call it function over form.
