I follow this car on Instagram, I always thought he was insane for driving a WRC car on road given its value but on closer inspection and based on the info on the video its obviously had a real hard life and not much is left from its time with the Subaru WRC team. I actually love how its rough and battle damaged. It tells a story unlike a mint replica. Fantastic and thanks for sharing
@@buckorooster nah, the 031 chassis is a hill climb car still in New Zealand, it was driven by Alister Mcrae last month to victory at Leadfoot festival.
Guy speaks better English than 99% of the UK population. Great videos, really enjoying the content. Genuine interest in the cars he reviews and very knowledgeable , unlike most of the British motoring TH-camrs. This is how its done.
Dont listen to the complaints of your videos being too long. This is excellent quality content. Very informative and in depth. Love it. Your channel is definitely one of my favorites. Can we perhaps have a video on the Nissan 180sx? Would love to learn more on this beauty.
Yeah, it was awesome, woke my girlfriend up and she was pissed! "I said wear your headphones if you're gonna watch your stupid rally videos!" Oops, lol
As a British P1 owner for past 20 years i can honestly say you two chaps are absolute heroes to the brand! Fascinating video for any Subaru or rally fans!
Love the owner’s enthusiasm at the end talking about his car, despite all the ‘faults’ which are basically adding character, he clearly loves his car having put so much work and time into it, great watch.
@@Leonidae couldn't agree more. Dirt, trees and miles of blind road. Proper racing. Mate sat next to ya shouting what he thinks up ahead may be like. No real set surface or camber to dial the car and ya senses to. Just what ever the weather and location throws at the car and driver that day. Sand, Ice, Mud, gravel, snow, woodland Dirt.... All of the above on some stages. Also JUMPS. Mid stage. Crest crest crest flat 130 straight stay left. Road rally is always fun and go go go. Maximum respect to it in fact but real rally. Real rally. Well it certain grips me more on dirt it seems. Any surface is best I guess. Excluding dirt from rally I think is more where I have an issue 🤣🤣✌✌🤘🤘
And from italy, the only country which produced rally cars that could hold a candle to japanese. (I love and daily drive an sti but lancia delta hf evo is bae)
This brings memories of my 15 year old self having wet dreams of owning such a car... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. HUGE ... like HUGE props to the owner ... For making this car a reality! And it should be driven!
This channel is amazing. Extremely technically detailed, you go into all the information that the other channels tend to glaze over. Thank you kindly. Very good to watch.
As a kid. I was a diehard Subaru fan. My dad drove a 92 RS Liberty Turbo. It wasnt until 2005 when his friend (who also owned a Subaru Brumby with a S204 from Japan - that thing was a fucking weapon) got a brand new Evo 9. He took us for a spin in that, and that was the day I swapped teams. Im glad I did. I currently own a 400HP Evo 10. But I can really appreciate this video so much, with the knowledge I have on Subarus already, you really taught me some quircky things about this body shape that I never knew. Thanks for the video brother! Awesome car!
This car... This is an endgame. Absolute masterpiece. Whole 45 minutes I was sitting in front of my monitor completely breathless. Thank you for what are you doing. :)
I know this car. It was run in Northern Ireland for some years in the mid 2000’s I think. I local driver used it and I watched it many times. Good to know it’s still on the road and being used.
Wow, Amazing camera angles and transitions! And what a beautiful historic car! also i love how your magazine collection really comes in handy with showing exactly what you are explaining! Thanks again for another great video.

Most beautiful WRC Car ever! This one in particular has a special place in my heart! Was with him from the first tests up to the two first full seasons in Madeira Island. Got ths luck to ride in it back in 2000.
I know the owner want to retain as much as the original car as possible including the "patina", but he should really get those rust spots fixed as it will literally eat away at the entire car.
This channel is KILLING it at the moment! What an awesome video with a true true enthusiast talking about a truly special car. Love the attention to detail in these car showcase videos. Also, using a 34 gtr as a chase camera car is just perfect
25:51 photo on the right from Sanremo, it's a polish team and a polish rally legend - Krzysztof Hołowczyc. Stomil Olsztyn was a sponsor and a producer of tires. Greetings from Poland!
I love seeing how this channel grows so fast! You put a lot of effort in every video and I hope you can get more opportunities like this one in the future🙌🏻
This has been my favorite car in the entire world since the first time I saw it in an article. Absolutely nothing better than this for a Subaru nut like me.
First time I've come across this channel and what a treat to view this beautiful WR car as a first video! just checked out your other videos. Its a 90's kids dream! Going to spend many hours on this channel for sure!
Rally cars are _nominally_ street-legal especially as they're registered, taxed and insured, but I guess there's some extra work needed if you want one as a daily driver.
Love all STI Subies , after several Subaru turbos I realized that the way to get what you want is buy you're favourite Gc or Gd body and build away , engines of every description are available here in Canada they'll put it right in you're garage in two days .I built a STI bugeye which you couldn't get in North America , got part's from 12 different cars ! $10k all done 90k enjine twin scroll ej-207 and s203 6 speed ......happy camper !
This is a beast of a car. I once owned a GC8 Sti conversion and I surely miss it. I sold it because I didn't want to wreck the thing. I needed a car I could rally without worrying about a crash! Thank you for the great presentation!
Perfect! Now I know what to say about all the rust on my car! "Battle damage from all the rallying"! I was about to say "neglect", before you spoke, but what you said is cooler! Thank you!
Man just the sound and visuals of how raw this car is, I actually teared up a bit at one point. You lived out my dream, and whilst I wish it was me that was in your place, I'm at least grateful you shared this with us. Your work is really amazing, and I wish you all the success possible!
I really love your descriptive videos. keep up the good work. can't wait to go back to japan and visit my wife's family in kyoto once all of this coronavirus starts to mello down. you just win yourself a new subscriber.
Wonderful car, what a pleasure it must be to be behind the steering wheel! Thank you very much for having detailed it so well. I'm a great fan, well done Junya !! 👍👍👍
Fantastic! Having been in a gc8 type-r with a 6 speed dccd swaped in, and a bit bigger turbo, that was so exhilarating! I have a 05 wrx as a daily driver ( and it is really good, has coilovers, intake+exhaust and tune) but it is nowhere near that type-r. Great video!
Love this video man! Keep up the great work and editing! 45 minutes is awesome because this car is sooo special huge fan of these subies! I have a 2000 impreza and thia just makes me smile. More JDM cars like this and your channel will blow up hecause here in the usa we cant get these cars 😔
17:35 To be precise, this is NOT reinforcement. As You mentioned, in the trunk the fuel tank used to be. The plate is actually a firewall, to protect crew compartement to be flooded by fuel (or in worse case burning fuel) if accident happen.
This video was awesome! I really like all the details and historical information about the car. Definitely subscribing. Man that car is enough to bring a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful.
You are doing a fantastic job presenting us the true gems of JDM. I only visited Japan once, but am the Lexus-driving fan of Japanese cars from Poland. Keep the great job going!
I am from Madeira Island i seen the R30WRC racing many many times in the ralies back home, is one of the cars that i loved most, because how amazing it was and the story. The pilot Victor Sá fulminanted the competition with that Scoobie..❤❤
Hello capt great video as always but i think i'd better when the owner talked by japanese you can add the subtitle on the video so we can more knowing about the personal impression of his car
Sounds like a legit equal header setup. And yes, Prodrive is the MASTER of subaru suspension and drivetrain modification. I have replica Prodrive springs (P11L) and normal kyb struts on my impreza and it's unreal how much better the car handles and rides.

There's something off, because famous Subaru works driver Possum Bourne owned 98/ 031. His car is still in New Zealand.

This is the best channel on YT. Great work! I love seeing new videos pop up from you.
two dream cars - Impreza GC8 WRC and the Skyline GTR R34 lurking/filming around. Guys - you've nailed it perfectly I have to admit. Respect!
The 2 door impreza is the most beautiful impreza ever. I'd say the evo III-VI compare but still not as great
Agree with every word
Thanks for telling this in english, I'm following this on instagram, and It's very nice to get information about the car! Keep up the good work! 👍
