So many videos on engine modifications, nice to see driveline one 👍. What is increased power good for if you can't get to the ground? Been looking at Cusco and Beatrush rear Diff carrier but the CNC aluminum of Torque Solutions looks superior and should be lighter. Welds can break and rust. Have you considered a carbon fiber driveshaft? Put a PST one on my WRX, $$$ but there is a mod that gets power to the ground.
I've looked into them but right now can't justify getting a new driveshaft. The ROI is not quite there yet. Exactly I'm big on the drivetrain and suspension aspects of a car so wanted to get them out there. The Torque solutions carrier made a noticable difference and glad I got it. I was also looking at the Cusco but figured a machined 1 piece unit would be better.
Very cool👍🏻👍🏻 well...... just saw something else I’m gonna have to get hahaha. Definitely do some drive alongs or POV’s for sure. I’m sure you’ve read in past video comments, you’re definitely the (go to) channel for Subie mods and info. Keep them coming man!!!!
I enjoyed the drive along just needed to put some trust in that camera mount 🤣 you know I appreciate that support 😉 lol have all sorts of good stuff coming!
Thanks for this. Haven't gotten to install mine yet. Hoping to see a difference with the IAG trans mount and the T.S. diff mount when i install them. I want that raw dog feel! Probably need a lot of bushings too?
Shouldent need too much the main differences you'll see will be from the mounts themselves. Super easy to install and you'll love it! 😁 will feel nice on that RA 😉
Hey Smeedia, you may have addressed this in a previous video, but are your rain guards the ones you buy from Subaru or from a different brand? Keep up the great videos, always looking forward to em!
Mate great video, good info on them, I have started using some extra features because of your videos. Just one thing puzzles me about your driving. Why are you sitting so close to the steering wheel????? I need to know
Lol I'm 5 for 7 and I like to be able to have full pedal travel with the car, also sitting closer makes you sit more straight and your more reaponsive with reaction times. I use to sit farther away then when I syarted racing a few years back moved to this seating position 😅
@@Smeedia I just got a 2017 WRX in White. Don't even have plates yet. Before that I was in a 2001 white Legacy with a rack and MCM sticker. I am Brian BTW.
@@Brisky86 I may have seen the legacy around, I'll have to keep an eye out for ya 👀 good to meet you Brian! Well virtually I guess lol of you ever see me around feel free to say hey!
I think you should try and sit closer to the wheel... ;) The ride along video from that potion is interesting, but I think you had too wide of a shot. That is one of the hardest things to do in video production with the constantly changing background and lighting conditions. (BTW, I've been working in the TV production industry for the past 27 years and have done this sort of thing many times. It's always hard.) But your wider shot makes your camera's (which Canon DSLR are you using?) metering system go nuts. The only trick that really works is to find a direction you can drive where there is no direct light coming in through the windshield and the background is in the shade. So driving North helps a lot or if its in the morning then driving West, but that puts the camera facing South from that position in the car. Like I said, In-car video is just hard. At least you are using a camera with changeable lenses. Thanks for yet another fun video!
Appreciate the feedback! I forgot my VND at home when going out on this one lol I use a Canon EOS R with the 15-35mm for the most part, every now and then I'll swap to my 24-70. Before the sun came out and washed everything away it looked alright on my Atomos. I'll make sure to grab the VND next time so nothing gets co outlet washed out 😅 been learning videography for about 6 months now, along with editing (currently using premier pro). But theres so much to learn I love it! Always open to taking tips and tricks when it comes to shooting! 😁
@@Smeedia I shared the video to my friend joe & told him to sub. He says he already was subbed and he said youre from louisiana as well. Small damn world mayne.
How much difference does it make with just this differential carrier vs bushing inserts and subframe? Planning to do just the carrier without doing the inserts. Awesome videos man! Support!
The carrier made a diffrence with stop and go. The rear end wouldn't try to hop as much if I was getting on it from a stop. I've ran both just the bushings and carrier and the carrier definitely made a bigger impact
How'd you break the outer nuts on the diff carrier? Mine's just stuck like hell. I can't get a breaker bar long enough under the car and the nut just won't budge. I feel like I might round it off at that point so I'll just save that one for another day 😬
So now that the new has worn off and you've got some serious miles on your car tell me: how do you like it? Does it really offer anything over the OEM to justify the price tag?
I actually have both, the carrier is the actually aupport brace while the white line bushings press into the ears of the diff. The bushings alone help a tremendous amount
@@Smeedia Thank you the 500whp is the goal I've got the mods for it from the research I've done. I hand the inserts and bushings as well plus crossmember bushings. I am glad that you found the tq solution rear diff brace to be a good and noticeable difference it should really help support the back end with the power I should be at.

That big-to-littler you refer to, some of us call a half-to-3/8 adapter but great video.
That's the offical name! Lol totally slipped my mind when recording lol thank you!
Can't thank you enough for your help Tanna. UK subaru 💯🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

You should do a 30k mile service tutorial! I’m almost due for mine lol
I'm at 26K miles so it's coming up 😅
I am at 34k miles so I could use it too.
Damn i just hit 50k lol 18 sti
Great video. Cant wait to see what else is to come. I think the ride along video was great. Do you think you will do more?
Yes, that was the first time testing the mount so I needed to put some trust into it before committing to it 😅
Great vid, thanks for sharing and taking the time. Like the Leather package too
Thank you! And the leather is nice in the winter but the summer time I stick to it 😅
@@Smeedia its all in the small touches and details!! Yes I'm sure it gets warm lol

Smeedia yep, gonna be a good year!!!!
can you do a general info vid on the cobb ap and things to keep an eye on etc and what each gauge means ie:what it does etc
Yeah, not a bad idea and would help out some newer owners 😁

Thanks for the love! They are the OEM rain guards, if there is an OEM Version of a part I always get the factory set 😁

Another nice vid on something I'll probably do at some point. Hey are you going to do any content on installing an up pipe and down pipe?
I've already made one on a downpipe, one of my first videos (not the best) but I will be doing a up pipe with EWG soon
@@Smeedia awesome, look forward to it.
Dude you must live super close to me. I recognize the coffee shop by Five Guys and Fred Meyer in Puyallup. I am in Fife if you ever need a hand.
Good to know! I'm over in downtown puyallup so not far at all! What do you drive? Curious if I've seen you around 👀

ALL OF THE ANGLES

@@admireinspire I use to live in Louisiana moved back up to Washinton in 2015, but indeed it is a small world! Lol also thanks for sharing 😉
Why did u choose torquesolution over cusco ? Just curious ... and I also bought inserts and am currently waiting for ur next video!
I did not even see the cusco one so got this one, no complaints though lol gets the job done! And probably next weeks upload will be the inserts 😁😁
How much difference does it make with just this differential carrier vs bushing inserts and subframe? Planning to do just the carrier without doing the inserts.
Awesome videos man! Support!
The carrier made a diffrence with stop and go. The rear end wouldn't try to hop as much if I was getting on it from a stop. I've ran both just the bushings and carrier and the carrier definitely made a bigger impact
If you don’t mind, what state are you in? I really enjoy your vids
I am in Washington State, And thank you! Glad that they are helping out and being enjoyable!
@@Smeedia Vancouver?
Tacoma / Puyallup Area 👀
What are you using to hold you gauge on your dash. Looks clean!
For the AFR and Boost gauge it is the SMY Gauge cluster 😁
Great vid!
Thank you!
How'd you break the outer nuts on the diff carrier? Mine's just stuck like hell. I can't get a breaker bar long enough under the car and the nut just won't budge. I feel like I might round it off at that point so I'll just save that one for another day 😬
Let is soak in some PB blaster for a bit 🤝
The stock mount is made of aluminum. If it was made of iron it would be rusted...
So now that the new has worn off and you've got some serious miles on your car tell me: how do you like it? Does it really offer anything over the OEM to justify the price tag?
Feels much better TBH, when the car was making over 400WHP it definitely helped to keep the power to the wheels
Yes those rumbles 🤤
I have stock 18 STI, will CObb access port, do anything, I heard it wakes up the Sti ?
I wouldn't say it makes it up but it is smoother than the OEM Tune and gives like a 10WHP bump
hey is there a difference between whiteline rear diff bushing vs torque solution Carrier?
I actually have both, the carrier is the actually aupport brace while the white line bushings press into the ears of the diff. The bushings alone help a tremendous amount
I call it a "reducer"...anyways great video
What dash cam do you recommend buying brotha?
I got you 😉 already made a video on it lol but the black vue 2 way.

BIG TO LITTLER'S 😍🤣🤣🤣
🔥🙌😁
Is this a complete aftermarket steering wheel or a wrap ? looks nice.
That is the OEM Type RA alcantera steering wheel. It was around $400 or so but honestly well worth it
@@Smeedia I am waiting for a pre cut wrap I hope it will feel good. I am focusing on performance for now no much attention to cosmetics :D
Wooo Haaa Hooo
YASSSSSS
How do you like it? I'm putting that on my fa20dit build wit billet bushings. But I'm also going to 500whp
That 500WHP will be fun! I love it, really helps support the rear end I've got the bushing inserts that I still need to put in also 😅
@@Smeedia Thank you the 500whp is the goal I've got the mods for it from the research I've done. I hand the inserts and bushings as well plus crossmember bushings. I am glad that you found the tq solution rear diff brace to be a good and noticeable difference it should really help support the back end with the power I should be at.
The word on the street is that bug told his friends about you trying to kill him and they are all gonna be in your car next time lmao
Lol they swarm my garage, bring them on I'll take them all out 😅
Lol lower that steering wheel and slide the seat back son!
Thats how I drive! Lol gives better feedback for me for what the car is doing 😅
@@Smeedia lol. Hey to each their own.
Would those torque specs work with a 19 wrx?
Yes they would 🙏
