Another perfect restoration with the result being the part looking like brand new. Plus, no one ever show how to clean the fins and restoring the cooling efficiency. Your work is amaizing!
Thank you so much :)
And he sounds like Collin McRaye
What media are you using in your vapor blast cabinet? @@RRCRestoration
To heck with Ocean waves, or Fountains, Babbling Brooks, etc., *this* is downright calming and soul soothing. Bravo to your channel and all your cool resto's man.
An audio & visual joy once again dude 🙏🙏🙏. And thanks for sharing the knowledge as well. Top job, as ever 👏👏👏. 😎
Great as always. You're the Bob Ross of restoration, it's very well made and relaxing to watch.
Underrated comment!!
I really enjoy these short videos on single component restorations in this Impreza series. And I think that adding some genuine RRC narration makes them both a bit more educational and also personal.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
I have to say that your accent makes the detailed work, feel more precise. I'm not sure why but I think it's soothing, mate. Cheers from Delaware USA . I greatly appreciate your painting experience and advice 🙏🤙🤘. Beautiful work
Great job on this intercooler, it looks brand new 👌
Thank you mister 😉
Well done Buddy,
Great work, clear precise commentary and a good bit of music to finish with. Your Videos just get better and better. I cannot think how long that must have taken, not just the work on the Intercooler but the video work, setting up the shots ( I still love the anonymity aspect) and the video editing. A real tour de force.
Another great rebuild. For years I have been using a screw driver that I’ve shaped for radiator cores. But now I’m using tweezers. Great job old mate.
Always very relaxing to watch (and of course, interesting). Thank you very much !
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
How in the world have I as a subscriber and a WRX owner myself completely missed this vid?!?!
Short, concise and clear. It's so fun watching your video. Looks like new stuff. Excellent work, man.
Much appreciated! :)
Te acompanho do Brasil há muito tempo, excelentíssimo trabalho, a tradução automática ajuda bastante. Parabéns pelo melhor canal de restauração de autos e bikes que eu conheço.
Sir you are an artist, it's a pleasure to see your works
Beautiful work as always!
I really need to get those pipes for mine. I havent really thought about it. Well done, as usual!
Beautiful, professional work as always man. Love it.
Cheers buddy :)
You always make a difference no matter what you do, thank you.
Cheers David :)
Another awesome job congratulations my friend
Another good job well done there Big Man👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Jon :)
for the first time come first!! excellent video as always!!!
Congratulations on being the first commenter :)
So pleasure to se you motor-videos. It is nice to see how accurate you do this. Im German and if I dont know I would say you too! Sometimes just difficult to understand because you speak little fast.
Moinmoin aus Oldenburg! Du kannst Untertitel nutzen in Deutsch und Englisch. Nach ca 25 Videos oder so hat man sich daran gewöhnt wie er spricht. Jetzt muss ich nur noch ab und zu mal reinschauen , wenn ich einen Motor Begriff nicht kenne oder akustisch nicht richtig verstehen kann. Einer der besten Kanäle auf TH-cam!

Great restoration. I was fooled by the thumbnail though - it made me think you were going to spray the STi logo on the fins.
Outstanding job sir.
A very good install brother. A nice touch with tweezers on the intercooler fins.
Cheers Paul :)
Ah yes the old Haynes Manual phrase "reassemly is the reverse of disassembly" 😂😂. Great Video as usual!
Turned out nice! Tweezing fins sounds mind-numbing!
Thank you, Yeah it is rather tedious but well worth the effort.
I like these mini restorations. Much better. Keep it going and then just a finished product compilation
Really happy to hear you are enjoying all of these smaller videos :)
It's spelled restorations dude you should've finished school 🏫
@Rodney Hopper I did. Just not in an English speaking country. Thanks for pointing out my mistake and I hope that it gave your life some meaning.
08:09 thanks mate :-)
Great work as usual - though one never gets used to your fantastic work.
Love those close-ups!
Love your work 👍
Great job as always, big man!
Howdy, enjoyed this video ( as always) , to be honest the vapor blaster stirs the rage of jealously😁. I have used plastic tool called a fin comb to straighten cooling fins in various radiators. Here ours get bent by 110kph+ impact with pre historic bugs. Tried flat blade screwdrivers, never tweezers though.😀
TIL petrol is a great solvent! Obviously you need the area to be well ventilated to avoid an explosive atmosphere, but it got that oil out beautifully!
Another awesome restoration, well timed too as im removing mine tomorrow so gave me some ideas, just waiting for an in depth video on how you zinc plate! and ofc the impreza resto
My OCD was very well satisfied with the cooling fin straightening, cheers 🍻😎.
Glad to be of service :) lol
great job as always lad keep up the good work
That comment for the algorithm😉
Always enjoying watching your vids!
Cheers buddy :)
TWEEZERS!!!!!! you are a genius. Screwdrivers just did not do the trick for me.
Before Go-Jo we used gas to wash the grease off our hands. Ya, Im old!
Great job as always!
Another fantastic restoration!!! I can’t wait for the next episode of this restoration. May I ask what was the solution you used in your ultrasonic cleaning unit? Thanks again for another entertaining and informative video. Cheers🥃
An air oil separator helps a ton with keeping oil out of the intake on boxer engine. I grabbed the IAG one, since it runs coolant through to keep the aos the same temperature as the engine. No condensation build up with the coolant running.
Cracking job again 👏
Thank you so much for your video
Let’s go! Another small but big restoration.
Really nice job👌🏻
Nah, you sneaked out and bought a new one didn't you 😜
Another fantastic restoration, after the cleaning I noticed the few bent fins and though hmm, what to do about those, but I had no worries when I saw the tweezers on the bench.
Nice video as always. HIghlight of my week when RRC videos are on my playlist!
Quick question:
How do you know to apply grease on threads of bolts? Do you have a manual?
It sounds like a good idea to clean ANY still functioning Inter-Cooler that is found on these cars or any car for that Matter . It was amazing how much oil was inside this cooler .
Two flathead screwdrivers are beat for straightening the for perfectly and swiftly
Another gorgeous restoration 👍 id be ditching that bov entirely, but its personal preference. Itll be better than factory by the time youre done with it 😊
Love the restoration. I was a little behind on videos but already caught up. Although I am a little disappointed that there was no testing of the intercooler to check the arp sound.
Perfect, as always. Need you for my boat restoration.
Cheers buddy, I've never really been involved with boats id probably be a bit out of my depth so to speak haha what kind of boat do you have?
@@RRCRestoration its a Formula 31 PC from 1998 and there is a lot of work to do. New canvas, new ceiling, cleaning the engine bay. Sometimes i wish i could do all this work as perfect as you. But my job allows me not to spend so much time with it.
Be sure youre my insperation
I notice this is the way to cold brew coffee and piano tuning!😁
Cant wait build it already lol but serious every thing you do is brilliant
Thank you :)
Good tae see another Scot who loves makin tha engine an bay look brilliant
Cheers Cora :)
Need to take up some spelling lessons
@@rodneyhopper22 An ye need tae no be rude fer ye ken anythin bout someone an their culture. It's okie, ye only care bout yer sel an yer own culture. Thas how entitled "sovereign" toxic americans are. Of which ye obviously are. Ah love ma sel when ah go tae bed at night. 💕 Can ye say tha same? Cheers! 😋
Like a hit job on the radiator with Maria style preparation.
Zip ties or cable ties whichever you choose to call them are great for straightening the metal fins
Love your channel! Curious how many different camera you use at once? Your videos give the impression that there are many cameras involved!
Your voice and voice-over reminds me of playing the PS1 Colin McRae intro level - good times 👍🏻
good to see my friend the towel in this episode, he's cool and strong
great job
Those intercoolers are handy tool trays, hence the bent fins 😁
From the thumbnail I was wondering how the heck you got the fins so clean. low pressure vapor blasting makes sense! I really want to find some kind of rubber tipped perfectly sized and shaped tool to straighten fins. They never seen to come out just right even with the combs I have. I do have a 3D printer now. Maybe I should just make something. Great work!
I've been told to use wooden skewers in the past.
I don't envy you straightening those fins!
Nice job men
Enjoy this so much. Lets me know the pain of some of the work I gotta do lol. Curious to know the Y pipe upgrade you got. Ive seen many silicon ones, but never metal. And I would prefer that.
Super travail 😇👍🤩
More fantastic work, this is going to be an amazing example of an Impreza once its done.
Can I ask what you use to seal the aluminium?
"Can I ask what you use to seal the aluminium?"
That is the big question.
Cheers.
Thank you for the video.
Can you tell us what sealent you used for the aluminium?
I would like to know as well :)
Love this series but cant wait for a bike one .
I would love for you to do an first generation Superbike again
I feel exactly the same way, as much as i like working on the scooby i cant wait to get cracking on another bike restoration :)
@@RRCRestoration i love all your work because of the way you explain what you do in a fun and interesting way .
Your also one of the few youtubers that responds .
Would love to see an srad rebuild ( mine finally runs after a carb rebuild )
great video as usual
Good job
Awesome 🤙
There is a specific tool for doing those radiator fins. I once had a blocked rad while in Cornwall and the place I went to took off the header and bottom, unclogged the core and resoldered it, then straightened all the fins with the tool.
SO GOOD! :)
Как всегда отличная работа 👍👍🤔
Ayeee perfect-o!! 👌🏻👌🏻
Great video! Given its an Impreza, no prizes for guessing how that oil got in there 😂 also, do you have any recommendations for sealant clearcoats to use on stainless?
Congratulations. Because there is a need in the world for people who really do their job and who are not afraid to explain and show their work. A person who really does his job does not show off and does not wander around saying "me, me, me". There is nothing worse in life than applauding yourself. For example; It is not possible for a theater actor to stand in front of the audience and applaud himself after his play is over. If it happens, the audience will not come again. You explain and guide like a good teacher. I congratulate and applaud you again. You show how what should be and what is right should not be in this unreliable and incredible capitalist world. Please continue like this. People and humanity need it. Because they don't explain what was done and humanity always pays the price.
choice of lubricant type when reassembling the recirc valve piston?
so ive dealt with turbo honda everything from D to K ..... 1 question was that bov bolted to the inter cooler?
What sealant did you use on the IC to keep it from oxidizing?
What ultrasonic cleaning solution do you use RRC?
What type of clear coat did you use? How has it held up so far? I'm actually in the process of restoring an STi intercooler myself!
Does the coating on yhe aluminium effect perfotof the intercooler?
What kind of sealer do you use?? What brand is the wapor cabinet?
Options if you dont have a vapor blaster to restore the corroded outside?
Love the vapor blaster, is that new?
Looks nice. Surprised that you didn't straighten the fins before cleaning the core and that you didn't replace cheap clamps with good Norma clamps.
Did you use heat proof laquer to seal the alloy cooller please
Perfect restoration, as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
what fluid did you use for clean in ultrasonic cleaner ?
Nice job. Must take a lot of patience to do all the straightening.
What sealer did you use?
What sealer did you use? Is it clear coat? Because that would inhibit it's cooling ability.
The BOV is on the intercooler? Thats pretty neat!
good👍👍
What sealer is used please?
Was that Irn-Blu in the ultrasonic cleaner? 😅
Really though, what are you using?
