Few tips: - Click on the normalise audio when rendering a video, this will make the volume the same throughout the video -5db is a great volume to set it at. - To remove the spark plug you might want to use a 1/4" ratchet with a stepper and a 1" extension, this will get the perfect distance without using wobbles, because not destroying heads on doing a spark plug is cheaper than good tools. - Dont ever use a torque wrench on anything other than directly to socket, your values will be wildly off when using those extensions and wobbles. You did well. Other side is even easier, just needs 2 bolts for the airbox.
Thanks for the advice, will definitely try the normalise audio. And will look into the tools cause I don’t really want to fuck up the heads. Thanks a lot though!
Thank you for your car videos. I am sick and the calm talking and nature sounds with the sped up car work is perfect to sooth the pain of being fucked up because anything slightly too sensory overload is not comfortable anymore, this is just perfect❤ i hope your channel blows up bro
Maybe buying a subaru isn´t the best decision, but apart from the headaches it will cause, you might learn from it lot. Glad youtube recommended this one, keep it up
Came from your other Subaru video, love the laid back vibe to them :) Just noticed when you start up the engine at 10:41 it sounds like you might have loud a bearing potentially on its way out, maybe something belt driven. Recently found one about to go in my engine bay and it sounded similar, might be worth a check just in case
😎 I brought a set of plugs seven years ago when I got my car and still haven't fitted them. My mechanic just said that the cars running fine. I responded to your reply in your first video. Just food for thought regarding the belt. 👍
Hi mate I'm from the northeast UK, found your channel and love that your tackling this yourself I'm a freelance mechanic and have worked on tonnes of subarus and done most jobs on them, also work with a bodyshop who specialises in them and a breaker who also specialises in these cars, plus have one running 350bhp aswell so if you need any advise on anything or help with parts etc feel free to hit me up I'm always up for helping where I can Either way good luck and keep up the videos peace man Oh p.s the glow stick you referred to is known as a coil pack or ignition coil
@@its_aled8950 We all have to start somewhere bud. You've deffo given yourself a steep learning curve with a scooby. However the experience is super rewarding in the end. Just do your research speak to some of the guys in the scene and the knowledge will quickly sink in Hats off to you my man 💪
After you showing how you mount your camera really makes me appreciate how silly the long shots must look for people passing by haha. Love the content, you're great in front of a camera, especially for someone just starting. As someone from the States I'm also a sucker for that dry British humor lol
hey! enjoyed this video a lot. I'd say replacing your fuel filter may help with the gunk. Also, usually speaking, when you replace sparkplugs, you should replace all four haha. make sure to put high octane fuel and keep your fluid changes up!
Great to see another (seemingly) stock WRX being given some love! I've got an '03 wagon with a very similar reg number, so probably came from the same dealership as yours, and other than a panel filter and a few Prodrive bits I may one day get around to fitting I've kept it as standard. And good effort getting those plugs changed yourself so fast, when I did mine I roped a friend in to help :D
I like your style of video - keep it up, and massive kudos for being prepared to get stuck in. Will keep an eye out for your car next time I'm in Aber. ;)
Sweet video man, I bought a Mazda Speed 6 about three months ago and I'm going through the same process you are for the most part. The car is awesome but does have some problems, working on some turbo issues and fuel pressure stuff for the most part. Keep it going!
I'd recommend only using NGK plugs with the proper part number for you engine. NGK is the factory plug for these cars. I bought a subaru that had cheap plugs with improper gap. After switching to NGK, it made the engine run smoother, and my mpg increased.
Just to let you know that if you need to disarm the immobiliser after unlocking the car but not starting it put the key in, turn on the ignition and then press the button on the key. No need to lock it and unlock it again 👍
go ahead and change the other 2 plugs lol... i wouldnt worry about the grime in the hole, probably 15+ years of dirt build up. wipe it out with a microfiber everything seems fine with your car, should be sweet.
enjoying the 2 vid's i'v seen so far, and love a scooby, always wanted one, I hate hate hate those dual tips on the exhaust mind xD always wanted one with a fat boy at the end
nice one, always wanted a Subaru but I ended up getting a mini which I'm happy with, out of interest how much did you pay for it and how much was insurance? o.O about to subscribe now lol
@@its_aled8950 jeez you got lucky, I looked up the same car and the cheapest quote is 4215 with admiral, 2 years driving and I'm 20 lol how many years have you been driving for? o.O
Can I just say I can hear an audible knock , I have blown Subaru engines many times and have experienced a lot ha ha , that car 1000% if u keep the revs at 3k u will hear very closely an audible knock coming from centre of the block , try using a long screw driver and put your ear on it

Brother is the most British British to ever British and I’m on board for it
Haha, I don’t think I’m quite that British. Appreciate it though!
its always nice to watch someone work on a car after doing 20 hours of work on my 530i 5 speed lol
Good god, 20 hours. What were you doing?
hope you made it a 6 speed xD

Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed. I’m gonna try to keep the vibe of the video the same as much as I can
Nothing better than the relief of an issue not being as big as you originally thought!
I know right!
Maybe buying a subaru isn´t the best decision, but apart from the headaches it will cause, you might learn from it lot. Glad youtube recommended this one, keep it up
I fully agree, buying a Subaru is a terrible decision. But i love it so hopefully I can keep it road worthy and learn a lot
so glad to see another video, really enjoyed the first one keep it up!
Thanks, will do!

I’ll try and have a look, thanks for the advice. Glad to hear you enjoy the content!
Keep up the good work. Love seeing young lads getting their hands dirty and learning about SUBARU. Once you are a fan you are stuck for life.
I think I’ve got the Subaru bug!

Keep making them , really enjoy your vids . Gotta start somewhere
Thanks, will do!
Just got my wrx roughly 3 weeks ago. She burns oil. To be expected but oof HERE WE GOO
Of course, very standard Subaru behaviour. Good luck my dude!
@@its_aled8950 lol thanks. Now my second car might have bottom end knock :D

Thanks for the tips, I always do put premium fuel in it too.
Love how you are straight to the point without any unnecessary edits and all that. Hope you grow even more.
Thanks a bunch!

Keep it up lad, we'll be here to support you 💪🏼
Thanks, that means a lot!
Dope video bro much love from Caernarfon
Thanks my dude, great to hear from someone who’s somewhat local!

Thanks for the heads up my dude, will look into it
13:48 must be the best outro of any car related video ive ever seen, other than the fast and the furious 1 outro hehe😎
Haha, you over exaggerate
Just to let you know that if you need to disarm the immobiliser after unlocking the car but not starting it put the key in, turn on the ignition and then press the button on the key. No need to lock it and unlock it again 👍
Holy shit, thank you so much
I figured this out in my impreza the other day after locking and unlocking for a good year or so, and I'm so annoyed I didn't learn it sooner!
12:45 this is such a vibe
Hey you should do an oil change DIY video!!! Great video man 🤙
That’ll most likely be my next video
This is very inspiring, i subbed :).
Thanks for subbing!
Good stuff keep it up!
Thanks boss man!
Love this!
Thanks bossman!
Good video. Would love a wrx
Thanks my dude, they’re good cars!
go ahead and change the other 2 plugs lol...
i wouldnt worry about the grime in the hole, probably 15+ years of dirt build up. wipe it out with a microfiber
everything seems fine with your car, should be sweet.
Thanks, i was quite worried about what it could be
enjoying the 2 vid's i'v seen so far, and love a scooby, always wanted one, I hate hate hate those dual tips on the exhaust mind xD always wanted one with a fat boy at the end
I want to change it so bad, it’s so fugly
The odometer at 10:49 read 123456 omg
Are you from the UK , first time on ur channel. From America. Is it rare to see a subaru in the UK?
It’s not too rare to see Subarus around where I live. For example in the town I live in with around 9000 people, there are three blobeyes
yes
I have to change the timing belt on my Audi soon, with very limited tools and on my driveway👺
Wish me luck boyyysssss
O no, not a German timing belt. Good luck soldier 🫡
nice one, always wanted a Subaru but I ended up getting a mini which I'm happy with, out of interest how much did you pay for it and how much was insurance? o.O
about to subscribe now lol
I payed £4200, and the insurance is £1600 a year with admiral
@@its_aled8950 jeez you got lucky, I looked up the same car and the cheapest quote is 4215 with admiral, 2 years driving and I'm 20 lol
how many years have you been driving for? o.O
I could be wrong but I thought those wheels came standard on the 06-07 WRX which had 5x114 bolt pattern. how do they fit on your blob eye?
The car came with these rims, so I don’t quite know enough about them. There’s no adapters or spacers on the wheels though
123456 WHAT. 10:50
your engine is not knocking lol, that sounds healthy, could just need a retune
I might take it for a retune after I put a new downpipe on
Sounds good normal subaru 😂
What, it needs constant maintenance?
@@its_aled8950 change oil every 3 thou wait till everything warm before giving it some boost and dont be a tosser and you will be good .
sweetcool
10:50 tape on dashboard?
Previous owner decided to tape over the engine warning light, always a great sign
Can I just say I can hear an audible knock , I have blown Subaru engines many times and have experienced a lot ha ha , that car 1000% if u keep the revs at 3k u will hear very closely an audible knock coming from centre of the block , try using a long screw driver and put your ear on it
I’ll try and have a listen if I feel brave enough!
yew boiii
Hell yeah
