"just hit the rev limiter, that's what it's for" - this guy rallies
I'd love to see it completely stock BUT with better tyres.
Then maybe removing weight, tuning lag away as much as possible, and giving it better suspensions.
Simple basic mods, to see how much difference they can make.
We will be making more content with this vehicle and making minor modifications... stay tuned!
Great 👍
YES LETS GO!! @@Teamoneilrally
Agree, to see how much tires would do will be interesting.
there's not much lag as it's twin scroll, low boost, and larger displacement. Tires will make the biggest difference.
You need to find another GR Corolla for a spring/summer lap. I also want to see you jump it.
We are working on it.
@@TeamoneilrallyMight as well put one of your guys’ training WRXs up against it too
I agree, I’d love to see how it’d compare to the wrx!
@@Teamoneilrally Have you found a cure for the overheating diff?
@@Teamoneilrallypersonally, I'm dying to see how it compares to the VA STI.
Also I'd love to see how it does with a tire change. Throw some cheap snows on it and see how the budget dirt tires do vs the OE summers.
That POV camera was an intelligent adition to the channel.
I'm surprised at how quick the car is when so many people were doubting it. I liked the previous video as well where you try to communicate the differences of a 'reduction of technology' with the car translating into a great driving experience. I'd love to see more! Maybe in a series where the car goes down a wise upgrade path to show what really makes a difference in times and do some laps in between to show that difference. "Wise" being the upgrades that make the greatest difference per dollar. Thanks for the fun vids!
Thanks for checking us out!
Well the most bang for your buck is 100% going to start with tires.
Would love to see more with this series!
Plenty more coming... stick around.
"Im not gonna talk, i just want to focus" two seconds in and you're scolding yourself 😂
Please keep posting wrx videos
We will.
Pushing that thing to the end! Nice moves Wyatt and thank you Team O’Neal
Thanks for watching!
I think the ultimate collab would be a Grand Tour/Team O'Neil crossover episode of the Grand Tour. Where the 3 GT hosts take a rally class with Wyatt.
That would be an epic collaboration indeed!
You can contact the grand tour I believe
Thanks for the VB Wrx content many are sleeping or unaware of this great new platform from Subaru!
doesn't help that it isn't sold in Europe because it doesn't meet emission standards
This cars weakest link is the insanely short gears. I came so close to purchasing but I couldn’t get over the fact that the boost felt like it was over tight as it started in every gear.
@@TandyTerrisonnot sure if thats the gearing. This engine is purposely tuned for low end torque. Partially due to emissions too
@@TandyTerrison I didn't find the gears were that short or close, but that the 6100 redline is too low. Easy fix with a tune, I've heard of it being turned up to 7k without much issue.
@@TandyTerrison Assuming you buy this car to tune it, it's a non issue. Raising the redline with a tune to 6500 is the key.
Would love to see you modify it with $0, $100, $1000, etc.. and run it again each time to see the improvements. You could also compare different recipes at each price point.
Also, I love the forehead mounted shots because it shows your steering inputs, but didnt like that flow being inturrupted with the outside spoiler-mounted shots.
It would also be great to add a small picture-in-picture of your footwork in the corner so we can see the timing and coordination better relative to corner apex.
Thank you for the feedback, all great ideas for next time. We will take all of them into consideration.
Ugh, I need to go do this rally school.
We operate all year. Come visit any time.
"Just hit the Rev limiter. That's what it's there for" fav quote
I don't usually comment on things, but I feel like the comments and likes are what will get us some more VB content, that being said, id love to see with some other small modifications as well as tires!
Do a lap with just changing the tires to a gravel tire. Would be interesting to see the delta of only that change.
I own a '23 WRX. I would love to see it at its full potential.
Id also love to see more with this car! Thanks for doing it!!
More coming soon.
It would be so cool to see WRX, Golf R, Corolla GR and new JCW Countryman together on this track!
i knew after the first episode you couldn't help but to give it another go! well done!
I was just binge watching your previous VB WRX video lol, being impressed by how well sorted the chassis and suspension is 😂
I just purchased a 22 WRX and just discovered this channel. Im very interested in this series. Keep it up.
Great purchase my guy
That camera angle is awesome. Please do more videos with this car!
Good stuff! More WRX content please.
I have a 22 WRX, many improvements to the new VB generation compared to my 20 WRX that I had.
As a new ‘23 owner, I really love seeing what the VB can do.
The last focused run was awesome. Would be a sweet addition to the future videos. Without music that is
Love the POV footage on these runs! Someone talented in Blender really needs to make this Team O'Neil test stage in Richard Burns Rally so us mere mortals can have a go at this from home!
From the BC Legacy RS-RA to the VB WRX, AWD Subarus have a long history of playing in the dirt. Even in this day and age, the Rally heritage of the Subaru shines through.
That despite them not even competing at the WRC level for over 15 years!! 👍
@@nofascistsonmywatch they have strong history in ARA they dont need WRC but it would be cool to see them enter again.
Definitely want to see some gravel tires and suspension if its this fast on summer tires. A video series on taking a road car like this and optimizing it further for rallying within a realistic budget would be interesting.
Subscribed to see more VB wrx stuff. I would watch a rally prep build for this platform as well.
Thank you! Hopefully we can do some rally car building soon.
I support you guys modding this into a more off-road build. I would love to see it in the hands of an expert so I have something to aspire to and learn from. Then ill bring my WRX down there and we can race. 🤘
HMWRX you’re a legend dude. I’d love to see this happen.
It blows my mind you can do this fast of an off road lap with the dunlops on it 😂 amazing driving. Would love to see some more of this.
I'm glad you did this. It makes it so your leader board is based on the car's performance instead of the driver's
New respect found for the VB platform.
I couldn't be more interested in seeing you modify the VB and continuing to push it! Really awesome laps!
A rallycross prepared class type build would be interesting to see. No need for engine mods, just some cheaper rally suspension and rally tires. Maybe a front and rear LSD as well. It would be really cool to see what difference a rear then front LSD makes compared to the open diffs.
Yalls are maniacs. I LOVE it !
OMG YES!
Just please make a single change per similar condition lap so we can get a sorta decent idea of how much each mod helps.
My bet is that tires, weight loss, bolt-ons make the difference in that order.
I would love to see how the 22 subaru CVT rally's !!
😂😂😂😂🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Awesome, I actually like the POV long shots a lot more than the usual style with lots of cuts. I am interested to see what this car can do with a basic tires, dampers and brakes package. Things that are cheap and easy to install while still keeping the car livable as a daily.
Yes! Again! Love this series!!!
More coming soon.
Watching this from a GoPro looks absolutely terrifying lmao. Meanwhile you talked the whole first run like it was nothing. Rally drivers are wild
My 2011 is at $7000 and counting on it's repair bill right now, as I watch this. I've driven her off road a LOT, and wow, this bill is showing it and I am not even doing all that needs to be replaced. The car can handle it, but expect to wear out a lot of bushings and other wear parts!
Time for a trade up. You can get a base 22-23 for under 30k easy
Keep it coming. Make a lap run after every changes made. Can't wait to see it's full potential.
Definitely do a suspension and some AT/Snow tires on a smaller wheel! Would love to see a rally build on this beast and see what you could do!
Please do more with this series!
We will.
Would you consider doing a comparison run with the old blobeye that set the winter time in these same circumstances. Would love to see how old vs. new stack up.
Yes please!
Yes, we should!
RUN IT AGAINNNN!!!!!! Rally tires babyyyyyyy
Well done! I'm sure the VB haters are seething 😅
For sure! But but the cladding is ugly!!😂
@@22.250Rem cladding all day every day 💯
Not a hater. It's just ugly and I prefer my VA STi. Would like to drive one though just to see. I thought the VA WRX was underwhelming, and I test drove one before the STi. But from what I hear the VB is a marked improvement to the previous WRX.
Shame about that hideous ass it has.
@@ZakTheRipper18 STI is an awesome ride 👍
@@ZakTheRipper18who cares what it looks like, you can’t see the outside when you’re in it
Damn this guy can drive
It would be cool to see an older Volkswagen Jetta on this series, a TDI (diesel) one especially. and by older I mean early 2000s. Great video as always!!
There used to be a black Mk4 Jetta VR6 running in Michigan events. Always fun to hear. I don't see the point in trying the TDI though
@@SvenDansk7
That would be the late great legendary Al Dantes Jr. In that Jetta. He moved on to a 2nd Gen rx7 with a LS swap. Sadly he passed away in 22 in a freak accident the night before LSPR.
@@SvenDansk7 I just love the TDIs and thought it would be neat to see one rally.
Love your Content! Appreciate ya man
Keep up the great work.. and looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you!
Insane performance for 30k with a warranty. High tuning potential as well and mostly reliable, I can't see a better deal on the market overall. Too bad the cladding isn't color matched from the factory or else more people would agree
The cladding looks way worse when it's color matched.
@@jasonmoyernah
Bought mine in black, she looks so mean. So happy with it
Same black all the way
@@Alex-sh7qwya it really does
I would love to watch what it can do with a proper suspension and some tyres.
Loving the series so far!
2:45 was the most accurate part of the video 😂
If you guys ever get your hands on a GR Yaris I'd love to see it go through here. Bonus points if you find one tuned with anti-lag, such capable cars.
That would be next to impossible to do, given they cannot be sold in, or brought into this country.
Maybe some privateer running in the ARA series will eventually bring in a Rally 2 spec/prepped Yaris GR (now that they exist in Rally 2 form), and let them wring it's neck on this test stage road. 😉
(They get that 'competition car' exemption for ONLY one year of motorsport use here from the DOT/NHSTA, yes, even though they are driven on public roads for the transits.)
@@nofascistsonmywatch why are they not allowed in the US? I thought people brought them in Mexico and imported them across the broder? Is it some safety or chassis regulations?
1:21 "just hit the rev limiter that's what it's there for" lmao
i love the POV camera! sweet video
Impressive runs, Wyatt! Really enjoyed the headcam and the way it showed how much harder you were pushing it on the second run. Looking forward to seeing more runs with this WRX modded too!
Liking the POV cam!
Would love to see it with rally tires. Compare a used set versus a new set too!
Would love to see you mod it over time and make it a full series of its own!
I’d love to see an 8V Audi A3 2.0T Quattro run through this!!
This has me wanting a wrx again.
With proper rally tires!!! just do it.
A mini build series would be cool. Put a number on what each upgrade gets you in terms of time. just simple stuff tires sway bars maybe coil overs, different alignment.
That’s as fast as I’m comfortable with you going today 😬😝
Have a white WRX VB, fun to watch “my car” rallying without actually risking putting it into a tree. Would be interesting to see what it does ion tires better suited to rallying.
It would be awesome to see some runs, after upgrades.
Be cool to do it as a daily driver, but weekend racer build. Get a dedicated track tire on it and sensible upgrades
Would have been interesting with the pedal cam, to better understand how you were turning it without the handbrake!
Love the direction this is going. As someone who sometimes bottoms out just like in this video, I'm very interested in where you go with suspension.
That was awesome!
I would definitely love to see more laps with better tires suited for gravel. And possibly the STI short shifter. I would really enjoy seeing how the STI accessories for the VB hold up rallying.
Would be awesome to see how a newer, manual, Subaru Crosstrek would perform on this track! Ive got a 23 in a 6spd and gotten it to break loose on gravel a few times, would be awesome to see a professional behind the wheel of one
So glad you ended up making this video. Now I wanna see you drive the new yaris gt
more of this vehicle pls
I really want to see you take a Land Cruiser or a Raptor R for a full send on the track it would be really interesting
You don't need background music just the raw sound
Awesome video, love this series! Silly question, what model Casio G-Shock watch is Wyatt using to time his runs?
I love these types of videos and would like to see more. Another video idea: Interested to see what time you could get this stock WRX down to with some budget M&S tires (Or just winter tires) as the only modification. For road and track applications tires are almost everything (behind driving). Is the same true for rally?
Excellent idea we hope we can do some content with different tires types. Tires absolutely make a big difference in rally.
Do a run with just good daily usable winter tires or all terrains!
This is sick do a full rallye build
Im curious to know which fuses you remove for that test! Great vid man keep up the good work 🤟🤟
Last show, he said they removed the stability control fuse.
Let's see how an Elantra N would fair on this course, I bet it would really struggle with putting the power down, since the suspension setup on that car is so focused on handling well on dry tarmac.
Do you use the video to time and your watch just to know while recording?
This is the video I wanted after the first one... and yes we want to see you push the car even more :) I think it would make sense to upgrade based on the order people should and show the incremental differences for each upgrade with a focus on daily + weekend track. ie start with tires, don't remove seats so ppl can still daily but maybe change suspension, power, etc.
Loved seeing external shots, especially while transferring weight it helped showed the technique. Need a footwork cam :)
I'd love to see what real rally tires would do for the time, and then if you can find some mud terrains or something that fit on there, see what those do by comparison!
a man has to.know his limits. very nice driving
more mods! more tests! can't wait to see it! woo!
I’d love to see what difference a set of tires can make. Might be fun to compare chunky winters vs some of the baby A/T (trail) tires that are out there and/or competition spec gravel tires.
I’m also curious if there’s an off the shelf suspension solution that would work well for this sort of driving, not just appeasing the MOAR LOW crowd. I know Ohlins makes (made?) a gravel setup for the VA chassis and I considered it for mine briefly but $10k is a bitter pill to swallow there. Maybe Flatout suspension or Feal can provide something. I considered both for my car but I found reliable info/feedback scarce when I was shopping.
I'm amazed at how it performed on those summer tires. Would love to see a lap with different tires. Maybe one set of "mainstream" tire you recommend for this car and one lap with proper rally tires like zdm3. Would be very informative 🤩
Thank you so much, this was great! I think different tires would shave some time for sure!
would love to see more runs with upgrades!
would love to see some improvements on this car and more tries
You could use Pirelli Scorpian at for the Subaru really good tires
I would love to see this compared to an 05 STi. I'd be curious if the older cars were faster.
So happy to see more content with the WRX. Just a question, which trim r u running? (Premium, GT, TR?)
Premium.
Happy to see these vb videos! Id be interested to see how some mods will improve the time
Wheels, tires, suspension, and braking. Maybe a tune on e85. The subie might be unbeatable for the price.
