This. THIS is why I started watching MCM so many years ago. Builds like these really tickle my fancy, taking a slow car and throwing the book at it and making it fast. So excited to see how this turns out!
I had this discussion with a Subaru salesman. I asked why can't I have a turbo manual wagon, The salesman just shook his head and said "I don't know man but I'd love one"
Probably in-between the epa(or your country variation of it) and crash testing because the different transmissions need separate crash tests at least in the usa so not much room for profit
@@davidf2392 Don't know where you're from. But in Australia the Manual WRX and BRZ are significantly "less safe" because the automatics come with all sort of sensors that increased fuel safety rating I'd imagine selling a "Family car" with a shit safety rating would be difficult
@@Boofhead-gs8kk I've heard that excuse from manufacturers before, but as a mechanic it's complete horseshit. The sensors the active electronic safety systems use are built into the wiring of the manual cars already. The already have the wheel speeds from the ABS sensors, the steering angle sensor from the steering column, the brake fluid pressure level from the sensor that's already in the ABS module, the vehicle roll, pitch, and yaw from the g-meter/accelerometer sensor that's already in the harness, and even most modern manual transmissions have gear position sensors in them as well if they wanted that for any reason.
This is most likely a business decision as Toyota owns part of Subaru. To have standardised CVT transmissions across the whole range to reduces production cost.
It's HILARIOUS how chill Marty is on the track. Normally the cars just make you laugh and this one sounds like you're driving a sofa. Like, how much different would taking a minivan around the track be?
Bet a Odyssey or Sienna (US spec with big V6es) would actually lap faster than the Levorg (given the same tires), though brakes would also be a limiting factor.
14:43 🤣 Poor guy learned the hard way that he's not beating a Megane/Clio RS on track without a whole lot of power; and even then I think they'd still win. They're built for the track.
Thank you guys for doing this. I am very sad that subaru canceled the new STI but this video is now inspiring me to just create my own new STI. Subaru is slowly loosing the interest of car enthusiasts and I really hope they realize that and start to rethink some of their decisions. We need the STI back!
@@chonglers1513 they should standardize to the sti platform, change the body and turbo for mid range stuff. Save all kinds of money in production with the drive train being pretty much the same
They are majority owned by Toyota. Look at what Toyota did. They stepped away from enthusiast cars for almost 2 decades now you are seeing a resurgence of fun cars from them. I'm hoping Subaru follows suit.
Oh, dude, if you haven't, you need to go back and watch the Super Gramps series. The ultimate wagon. There's also a series on MCMTV2 building a Nissan Stagea that was sick af.
Dutch guy here, I went to Australia with my dad 18 years ago. We planned to travel on the east coast for a month, but ended up staying in Byron Bay for 2 weeks. So ur intro "go to Byron Bay" is spot on! I keep watching the video now to check the car tho 😅
Fuck yes. Thank you MCM for making this series!! I own a 2.0L Levorg and have always wondered what would be involved getting an EJ25 manual in it! 😍 CANT WAIT
This feels like classic Marty and Moog shenanigans... can't wait to see the build and also see what Moog is going to counter it with! The back and forth with "well flatten it"..."IT'S FLAT!" had me cracking up
@@oler777 Go watch Skid Factory, street machine or anything else if you’re bored stooge! There’s plenty of variety out there… or you could stay here and watch the best 4wd channel in the world whilst having a disrespected nose purified right in front of your face balls.

Grovel: "lie or crawl abjectly on the ground with one's face downwards" which, metaphorically, is what Marty was doing to Moog through the start of this. glad you came up to this part of the world and scored a "sports wagon". I do look forward to what becomes of it. make the North Coast people proud!
Super excited for this build series. As many other commenters have said, Super Gramps and the other builds are huge reasons why I became such a loyal MCM fan. Thanks for posting such high quality entertainment!
Haven't been this excited for a MCM build in a long time! Part of my love for Subarus goes way back when I watched Marty chop Moog's S15 and all these years later I'm building my own STI themed SG 08 Forester XT Sport. We didn't get the STI Forester here in the states so I'm building my own. So excited, keep up the great work guys!
I’m exited for this one. They used to have a Levorg in the British Touring Car Championship and it won a few years ago too. But same as you I wanted them to build the STI version that was always rumoured and then I would have bought one.
Watching this after the Brumby video is so funny because suddenly they go from "We love you Subawu" to "THEY WERE LAZY" Moog turning the antics dial to 11 for this one and I love it
They used the Levorg here in the British Touring Cars last season but that was rear drive only and it didn't fare too well either. It looked good covered in racing decals though. Transferring the gubbins from that wrecked STi will be epic. Bring it on
Not normally, but his concerns aren't entirely unfounded, check the report for Air Canada Jazz JZA8481 in Edmonton Canada. Either way, a good reason not to sit in those rows is the prop noise.
at first i thought this was going to be a boring project, but when moog brought the sti, my perception has changed .. cant wait for the next episodes of this build series .. well done (as always) boys .. i should never have doubted mr old search now buy now cheapest
I'm excited for this one, lots of transplanting into a wagon! Super cheap acquisition of an STi engine and drivetrain, and wheels, and brakes. I hope the front driver side is in good shape.
One year on, i still love watching it...i used to own a L series wagon as i loved 4wding but on a few car cruises id pop the bonnet for shit and giggles as it had the spare in the engine bay 😂😂😂
I know I will love this build! Plus, as usual, prices of Levorgs and STis have gone up 5% here in New Zealand since the release of this video. Thank you MCM! hehehehe
This makes me happy as hell and excited for this. I’m currently 2 years deep in a 2008 forester body / 2007 sti drivetrain swap. All I can say is good luck. A lot of parts they say will just swap over normally don’t.
I think 2006 was when the whole “you can fit everything from an STI into a Forester” ended. 2007, some parts could but not everything. Still, do your homework first and ensure what you’re trying to do is even feasible.
YES! You guys are spot on here. This is exactly what the levorg needs. I was looking to buy one because the bonnet scoop made it look like it had a bit of meat inside and I was so disappointed at the pathetic drivertain options at the time it put me off entirely. Can't wait to see the end result. Check out the BTCC Levorg if you need some inspiration.
For a point for comparison, Most Glorious did a 1:57 around Sydney Motorsport Park. For those playing along at home it is an stripped and caged Gen 4 outback (BP) with an stock EZ30, 5 speed manual, Coilovers and Hankook RS4's tyres.
Great to see you doing this. I've been wanting to do a swap since i bought my Levorg. But the cost and some knowledge is what's stopping me at the moment. And it's not so easy to find a crashed one to take parts from here. I bet i'm gonna get the knowledge part from this series witch leaves the cost and the fact to find a parts car the only thing stopping me. I really hope you find a way to deal with with the eyesight. Good luck!
Like Moog driving the LEVORG. LET'S GO ALREADY!? So stoked for this series! Throwback to the original Supergramps ( multiple! 😅 ) build series!. Tuuuurbooo Yooodaaaaaa. This is going to be awesome!
I feel like Marty, when I love something everyone just talks mad shit lmfao I support it man! Subaru hatchbacks are legendary! You didn't buy a race car, you bought a car to turn into a race car, all love here Brother... I'm glad we have gone back to subaru for another series!
Thank you for taking an another Subaru project. As the original owner of a 2014 WRX STi that I really enjoy, I will be watching this project closely. When I was in Japan on vacation I saw a couple of Subaru Levorgs that had STi badges on them. I do not know if the owners just stuck them on their Levorgs or if Subaru actually made an STi version of the Levorg for the Japanese market. Unfortunately, I just saw the cars parked and their owners were not around so I did not get the chance to ask them about their "Levorg STis."
@@caffeinejunky9355 You'll still have the problem is a heavy car and an engine with low torque. Check the specs of the Subaru engine against Toyota, VW, Mazda, Hyundai etc. Subaru engines are horrible for torque.
When you guys were driving the Levorg around and on the track I was saying to myself "please be an STI swap, please be an STI swap, PLEASE BE AN STI SWAP!!!" This is going to be epic! I can't wait to see the end result.
This has been an awesome project, Mr Big Boss of Subaru may have been unsure about the colour, but it’s perfect. I came away from my first trip to Oz wanting to move out there, and I really wish I had as it would be the only way I’d stand a chance of winning this beaut yute!!
A STI Levorg wagon would be about as elite as a wagon could get. Would love to see your finished product go up against a MK7 R Estate. Now that would be a maaaad battle! Looking forward to this build!!
The top trim level came with the STI suspension. Can tell you that thing don´t lean in the corners, and the leather interior is nice AF. You got the wrong Levorg mate! ;)(all while geting the perfect donor)
I dig the Impreza, and I actually like the older ones more. Then again, I remember when the Impreza 1st came to the US, before we got the WRX, and LONG before we got the STI. A buddy of mine had an "STI wagon" built as the ultimate sleeper.
The boys delivering once again. Of course i choose the month they build my dream car to jump off TH-cam and miss arguably their best series to date. Marty fixing Subaru's and their problems till the day he cant turn a wrench anymore. Absolutely loving this whole project boys!
Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Subaru should have done more with the Levorg. I can’t wait to see what you guys do with this car to turn it into a real successor of the factory Subaru Gen 4 Liberty ‘Tuned by STI’ 6 speed manual Wagon and I’d be happy to bring mine along for comparisons.
THIS! this is absolutely tickles my balls as a subaru fanboy and a mcm fan for a long time :) been waiting for someone to do something to the levorg. Make it xtreme gramps :)
Nice. In south Africa, we never got the e46 330i wagon. So I done the same thing with my non motorsport 325i and converted it into a motorsport 330i with 6speed manual with all the 330i bits. Also bought a donor sedan 330i
Hope you enjoy this video, a whole build is coming at you in the coming days! Smash the like button and subscribe if you aren’t already for more

Yeah, but I would like to see a Levord build one day however!
When will we be seeing the new golf r getting a new upgrade are modication again?
I've never been so excited abt a levorg. 😅
Out of all the things Mighty Car Mods does... projects like this are the core reason of why i watch them. True car enthousiast stuff!
Feels like its been a very long time since a build like this. Cant wait!
I’m as excited as a dog with two tails about this build

You're not excited? Two cancel each other out.
And the tails becomes helicopter helicopter
And I'm "busier than a dog with two fcking dicks raghraghr"

Are these tails side-by-side where they hit each other or are they on opposite sides of the whole body? These are very important questions to know
Can't believe Moog crashed into a guy's Subaru just so he could buy it for cheap. His dedication never ceases to amaze me!

omg this is awesome! So hyped for this serie!
Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Subaru should have done more with the Levorg. I can’t wait to see what you guys do with this car to turn it into a real successor of the factory Subaru Gen 4 Liberty ‘Tuned by STI’ 6 speed manual Wagon and I’d be happy to bring mine along for comparisons.
Haha, that thought about the propeller... exactly what I was thinking when I was sitting in a similar plane and similar seat.
This is going to be rad!
THIS! this is absolutely tickles my balls as a subaru fanboy and a mcm fan for a long time :) been waiting for someone to do something to the levorg. Make it xtreme gramps :)
Love this channel! Cheers from Spain!
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice. In south Africa, we never got the e46 330i wagon. So I done the same thing with my non motorsport 325i and converted it into a motorsport 330i with 6speed manual with all the 330i bits. Also bought a donor sedan 330i
I love the in car banter, these two are amazing
You guys are gonna drag so many old subs back with this build. Genius.
love to see this project! Its been a long time since i last keep up with a mighty car mod project! SUper Gramps vibes all the way
Love that this popped up as I’m currently trying to do this kind of build with my Impreza sport
The entire first five minutes i spent questioning why would you get the 1.6.. a aha genius.. Very looking forward to seeing results of this build..
Definitely a Cool conversion. 👍👍and good value at the end of the day.
