    Did I just sit through an hour long video showing things I already know how to do? Yes.
    Did I love every minute of it? Yes.
    Do I want more? Yes.

      @@davidbarber2010 tell me you've never built race cars without telling me you've never built race cars. Anytime you do power mods outside of factory spec on any car you lose reliability until you beef up all supporting components. I managed a open class Volvo 740 rally car; the motor has more money than the car, the cage, suspension, and the dog box combined.

    This might be a hassle for you as I'm not sure how it works, but one idea I had was that you could make a playlist and put all of your videos on how to DIY maintenance together. Not sure if it'd be worth the effort or night, but I personally would love that playlist so I know exactly where to go to find the references. Love the videos and guides man!

    Watched the entire thing and I can say this seems so easy to you now, the most that I’ve done about a year ago before starting my engine teardown was a timechain cover. I can say this was a big undertaking to rebuild an engine from scratch . My STI is very rusted so I broke many fasteners, it was a pain. I estimate I worked on my car about 18hrs a week for a year almost so almost 1,000hrs!!! Today is the third day I drive it and le me say this is the smoothest STI I’ve ever driven, no CEL fully stock with all emission control, the rpm is at a solid standstill at idle. After all this work this is so rewarding and I love it. Thank you for the help friend!!

    Think about it this way too: you can drive more memberships by making those videos a membership feature. And anyone who has YT Premium (like myself) gives you good revenue per minute watched cuz that's how premium pays. Fairly confident it would make you some extra $

    man it would be so nice to find a list of all of these parts, with numbers and qty. or something even close. Heck even a common bolt size/thread chart.
    Love the vids!

    Really appreciate this vid. As an owner of a 20+ year old Impreza, I'm aware that more and more things are starting to need attention. Videos like this, that are systematic and properly narrated/explained go a long way to reduce the level of intimidation I feel when I pop the hood lol. Thank you!

    Thanks to you and videos like this I have learned so much about my car, and become confident enough to take on a transmission swap. Thank you for everything, and I hope you keep making these ridiculous walkthroughs once in a while.

    back in 2018 i had to replace the engine in my bugeye. my budget limited me to buying a used jdm ej205. ever since then i always enjoy watching engine pull videos. knowing more now than i did back then, i wish i had built a 205/257 hybrid. just waiting for this used engine to die off now lol.

    I scored a good set of case halves from a replacement I did recently where the rod bearings decided to leave the chat. Had to toss the D25 heads, cams and crank. Tossed the rods and pistons too since I plan to get forged. I'm keeping this video in my liked, faves, list, and all the right places, thank you for the time and effort you give to the community 🙌

      Failed oil pump, and the customer replaced it and only got so far before falling in my lap, it kinda ran 😂

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Tbh I'm impressed it kept going after a failed oil pump 😅

    • @KoryBrooks
      @KoryBrooks ปีที่แล้ว

      He was not a car guy, neither was the previous mechanic who just slapped an oil pump and let it go like that😅 hes good now, short block and heads are new

    Tanner I just wanted to give you a huge shoutout. I’ve been subscribed, watching and following the builds for awhile now. Love your enthusiasm and motivation with all the different projects from the gd chassis, to blue and even the rx7. Having a 02’ wrb bugeye (I regretted selling after developing rod knock) to my most recent dream car find in TX of a running wrb one owner all stock clean 04’ sti I got for $16k and drove home, I’m looking forward to taking things apart and refreshing the car as it needs it and one day maybe be at 400 whp. I’m stoked to see the progress on the customers 05’ sti (btw I enjoyed the longer step by step tare down) and what you end up doing with your new 07’ sti. Keep it up man I love the content on all the cars and congrats on the new shop it’s looking pretty sweet. Cheers bud from south FL.
    Ps- Any particular reason why you’d want to go with a stock turbo inlet vs say a Perrin silicone one? Also curious if you got the new RA short block from flatirons?
