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.
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!
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 👌
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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 !!!!
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
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
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!
I love this build! Got a 01 coupe myself and I love it so much!! Can someone explain to me what he did for the front LED and to make the turn signal like that? And also explain the back lights. Man I would put all the money down to make it look exactly like the front and back lights! Thank you
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.
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
Please help me. I have a GC8 and i need to get the full body kit on this car. Also, at the time of this video, what Turbo was running on the car ? Can we get a list of the full mods made. Thank you
That is a beautiful car. With what you're making to the wheels on a conservative Mustang dyno, any estimate of engine power? I'd imagine AWD drivetrain loss to be 25%?
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.
Thats a great question. There is value in a shell, finding parts for these cars are very attainable and it allows for custom building. There is no meat left on the bone with these cars lol
Love this video, and the car! Is there a build thread or any other details online about the build? I saw the list of parts used in the description, but didn’t see anything linking to build details
Thanks for watching the channel! I’m not sure if there’s a build thread, but he also makes TH-cam videos & has an Instagram. Check out the links in description :D
Thanks! Yes I saw the link to his profile, checked out his IG / TH-cam pages. Just wanted to say again how well done this video is, the quality and enjoyability of watching is outstanding. Keep up the good work, I'll be keeping an eye on the channel! @@EddieNuffSaid
380 hp and 380 torque ???? I got the ej25 wich does 290 hp peak and has 485 nm torque only on the mapping. Wich is still on the safe side. Very nice impreza though

How all Subarus should be...so tired of seeing them slammed :’(

Maybe because I live in PA, I rarely see them slammed
We dont lower our Subies in Canada.

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

This reminds me of gears and gasoline, the editing and filming in this video is amazing, keep up the awesome work 👍

Always liked the 2 doors over the 4 doors and hatch models

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 :)

such a clean and unassuming build. just like your video. i like them both very much.

Im super excited for his!

I love how the lights kinda gives the hawk eye vibe🥰
Absolutely nailed it with those wheels
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
Dude your cinematography is on point nice job
Thank you! 😊
Respect for keeping a classic alive and fresh. 👍
your gc8 is a pretty beast ,seeing this just make me want to prep mine a bit more
