Do as you please man don’t be scared to try new shit if it ends out turning good then great if it doesn’t do too well then shit it’s a learning experience regardless the real ones will stay & support you with what you choose
Time for an F80 M3. I had an 11 STI and a 19 STI. Sold them for the M3. You’re going to be way happier with the M3. I built my 11 to 500whp an it cost me a ton!!! Got a only a tune and the M3 was 500whp. Better performance. Better reliability. Better handling. And most of all, better all around comfort features. Trust me Chris. I sent it and I’ve been watching you for years and drove into it. It’s the right move all day brother.
Was about to say the same thing. The amount of money it takes to make any Subaru fast while still retaining some sense of reliability just isn’t worth it unless you have money like that
@@chris_borges crankhub is a must right away and then I’d go mhd tune and downpipes good tuner would be F80 Paul for S55. You pretty much can go full E85 with custom tune and downpipes
If you’re only buying an f80 for content purposes you will be disappointed. EVERY TH-camr is doing f80/82 G80/82. It’s genuinely overplayed and becoming boring to watch and hear as a “reveal”. It’s such a predictable path. I enjoy your channel because everything you do to your cars sets you apart from other enthusiasts. Explore ALL of your options before going with the generic m car. Keep being you Chris!!
I have an STI making like 600 wheel on stock block. It is a ticking time bomb, BUT always remember the reason you got the car. I been watching for a while and I remember when you got the WRX then sold it. I saw sad. BUT THEN YOU GOT THE STI! And man honestly most important thing is what makes you happy.
I’m an old ass tuner guy. I live in your area! Love your channel cause I see my “older days” and how hungry and dedicated you are to automotive customization. My opinion, be bold and don’t be afraid to be different. You got style, so trust yourself and go into uncharted territory. I did. I got a build Im proud of. I don’t go looking for recognition, but my builds speak for themselves. I’m appreciative and humble for it. I get a lot of self satisfaction out of that. Dare to be different.
bruh the end of this video was literally killing me with the basketball shit 😂def gotta add some more random chill stuff like that in the upcoming vlogs!
A couple things to note: 1. It’s the last STI 2. It’s the last EJ25 powered car 3. If you build the FA in the BRZ, you could build the EJ in the STI and have both motors done up all crazy. Im team keep the STI, you have a loyal fan base and we’ll watch whatever you put out there but the STI is just sick. (Also I’m biased because I also have a silver VA and I love your build😂)
I love your STI. You and your channel is definitely a big reason why I bought one and own one currently, but you do what’s best for you Chris. Keep up the content as always!
I love the VA STI.. you were the reason why I got one after getting into an accident with the bugeye (my profile picture). Would love to see you build the STI to push power. At the end of the day can’t force you to do anything, do what you want to do. For a different build would love to see you build either a F80 or maybe even a mustang you’ve been hinting at! Like always much love Chris! 🫶🏽
Honestly I love love love the STI and I’ve been wanting one for years. It would be sad to see it go but buying an M3 or M4 would bring a lot of new subscribers that maybe aren’t into Subarus. I feel that it would help the channel and get new viewers
Hmmm, I dig ALL the cars and mods that you put out! Remember why you're doing THIS in the 1st place Chris. YOUR cars are an Expression of You and what YOU like, no matter what We want to see. It's got to be what you'll enjoy!😁 We'll enjoy it too, when we tune in! IF someone doesn't Care for your content on whatever car you choose, that's their choice and they can watch something else.😊👍💯
Man it’s such a tough decision. I came across your videos because I had a 2020 WRX. I bought it bone stock and did so much to it. I ended up selling it a year later only because I took on a new career and wanted to have cushion for my family. My new career went better than planned and didn’t need the cushion so I sold the car for nothing. I regret that every single day. My 6 year old at the time cried when I sold it because he actually got out there and helped me work on it. I have pics of him reinstalling the headlights. Unfortunately I can’t get that car back as much as I wish I could. I tell you this because I know it might be easy to think you want to let something go but think long and hard about it. If I would have done that, then I would still have my WRX. Unfortunately loosing that car caused me to lose a lot of interest in cars and the car scene which has always been my get away from life’s hardships. Regardless of what you choose bro, I look forward to seeing what’s next!
Definitely see you in a manual black sapphire metallic F82 M4. WRX/STI viewers will always follow the content you create because of your character, not only cars. I have an E92 335i and watch all your videos and it will be the same the other way around with your followers if you were to sell. BMW community is huge and will most definitely grow your channel big time
@@chris_borges why not sell the frs or brz? theyre practically the same car. same chassis, two door, rwd, same engines. if you sell the sti, its like youre selling your only car thats different from the other ones
That STI is money in the bank if you can afford to garage it for 5-10 years. A ground up resto/custom of something older and cool would be interesting. And showing us where all these shops are we can send our stuff to get work done would be cool.
I started watching because of your original red wrx but I stayed watching because of you Chris. That being said I think an m3 (e9x,f80, or g80) would broaden your horizon so much and expand your content to a whole new audience. You should sell the STI and get an m3
I think with frs/brz in the rotation you’ll have the main audience still in your pocket and you can go crazy on those builds while moving on from the sti maybe a Supra/240i or m3
Imo, you have the frs and the brz to keep the core fan base satisfied. You can go crazy on those builds. Sell the sti and have new cars in rotation to keep it fresh.
I don't know if the community is that decisive either way though it's your car's your builds and your story to tell. Stay authentic to that and yes people will come and go but as long as when you are in 40s 50s etc and you forged a story you are content with then there will be less regrets in that journey. Also if you are not passionate or excited to dump boatloads into a chassis to make it do or look a certain way that's a sign to sell.
Mad respect Chris. One of the best TH-cam personalities for car content out there. Consider a C5 or C6 Z06. Pretty affordable, fast, and you can make them look SIIIIIIIIIICK. Not to mention considering exhaust and wheel set ups, the sky is the limit.
Means a lot bro! I’ve actually considered these cars! I’m mainly looking for a 4 door replacement for the STI if it were to happen so kinda on edge about getting another coupe.
@@chris_borges they make a 4 door Mustang? lol All jokes aside, for 4 door there are some dope options. Pontiac G8 GXP, Chevy SS, Hellcat Charger, Dodge Magnum SRT (very underrated), CTS V, Evo, Audi S8. Lots to choose from
Listen CHRIS I have a WRX 2015 FA20 and this is coming from a WRX owner. If you want to start a new build, follow your heart WRX owners are still going to watch we’re going along for the ride till the wheels fall off. We watch you for the quality content that you put out. We love your cars too don’t get me wrong but do you bro.💯
You should definitely keep the sti since they are discontinued and the value will only keep going up over time. Yeah you can always get another one down the road but to find out that inside clapped out would be hard. I’m glad I got my evo at the perfect time before the market in blew up. I’ve also had homies sell their Evo’s or Sti’s for m3’s and always end up coming back to either the Evo seen or subie seen.
Year of the BMW, findingnick as you know just got his G80 and I am looking around for a M340i. Would to love to see your vision on a euro platform. Tons of modding capabilities!!
Have been watching you for a while now and I own a WRX, I got even more hooked to your content when you dove into the VA WRX/STI platform. In my opinion, you should consider the new FL5 Type R, still a new platform and gives you an opportunity to be different. I feel that BMW content is overplayed and doesn’t really interest me. I’ll still be supporting no matter what you decide to do so do what you think will elevate the channel to the next level!
I would personally keep your subaru sti my G. Continue to invest in it and build it correctly. It is worth keeping for sure. I would be honored to have a subaru sti like yours. You should pray to God and follow your heart.
It’s on you but I understand doing something different and how TH-cam works. To me I would keep the sti they aren’t making them anymore and getting rare by the day and the German seen is different. I got rid of my sti as you got yours 😂 now I own a 20 wrx and can’t be happier.
would suck to see the STI go but at the end of the day bro, you gotta do you and grow and keep it pushin.. I'm here for it just love the content your putting out.
I'd keep the STI! Being the last "STI" is pretty awesome. Maybe change things up and take it to the track! That would be a fun journey to follow! This is what the STI is marketed for.
Keeping the STI and building it up with power would be appreciated by a lot of people since there’s no real subaru TH-camrs like that beside smeedia and Devin nimela, but nobody with your kind of style🔥 A bmw would bring you a new audience though and would be good for views 😢 maybe a m340i would be good with b58 hype rn
Hey bro honestly you have a good canvas on the new brz. If you wanna try to do performance mods i think the 2022 brz is good for it since youre already putting a turbo in. I feel like getting the f80 m3 would be a better choice than making the STI faster. More content and its something new to you and the channel. What if the f80 m3 is what leads you to your next goal and youre never going to know until you try. Take risks and never look back until you make it
Don’t get me wrong, the sti is dope, but I feel like a new build that isn’t Subaru/JDM would be very good and interesting for the channel. Since you have a bigger following now, I feel like more people will be engaged and support a new build that is out of your comfort zone. The BMW scene sounds interesting, and I know a mustang in your dream car. I understand this TH-cam thing is a business, but with whatever makes you happy I’ll always be here to watch and support your videos/brand 🙌🤝
I have a STI Hatch power will cost you either stock location or rotated. I think e90 or e92 M3 to do your V8 wants. So much love man the content is great!!
I'm with you on that I'm more about eye candy I don't care about speed I mean honestly 350 is plenty I see people on here want 600 800 horsepower and that's fine I guess if you're going to race it and I'm sure a lot of them do but I'm more impressed with how you make the car look and not overdo it a lot of people overdo the eye candy like a wing the size of the car that's just ridiculous
To me, it would be cool to see you get a older JDM car and building it. Also you talk about the Mustang a lot, go get that dream car and build it how you want!
What’s your gut feeling? What do YOU want to do? I know you’re torn but you have to decide in the end. Can’t say I understand what running a TH-cam channel is like but I know you regretted selling the wrx. Something new is always fun but once the “new” wears off and you realize all the things you sacrificed will it be worth it then? Honestly, build the STi keep it and upgrade that block, upgrade the turbo, build the internals, you’ll be surprised how different it feels with some engine upgrades. EJ’s are a lot different than the fa motors. But that’s just my opinion 2 cents. Appreciate the transparency, but bro, don’t do it for content, do it for you. We’re here because we dig what you do, do your thing, the real ones will stick around regardless. 🤙🏻
I feel like I can speak for most people. Get rid of it for a bmw whether it’s a f80 or g80 but I wouldn’t suggest getting rid of it for a mustang I much rather see it get fully built than seeing a mustang build.
Bro I know its good to be different and unique but a lot of Car youtubers buying BMW's gotta follow the trend to gain the channel like you said its for business but at the same time BMW are fun to drive especially a Manual spec
Aye yooo chris!!! Check between the frs and sti would would be the most profitable and also compare whats more feasible for future content. Personally i do say sell the frs.. you have had the car for yearssss.. and there isnt much you can other than motor swap and fully race/track build
Honestly Chris maybe venture into doing a project car series? Maybe an older Evo, S14/S15, r32-r34. Some form of older jdm rhd car. As much as I love the f80, bmw content as a whole is over saturated right now.
Personally, as you have said you’ve wanted to be a bit different. I’ve been watching you for 3 years now and yeah it’s the same cosmetic stuff with some performance content. I think best for you would be get into performance. It’ll build your portfolio as a car guy and it’ll help me and others also get ideas who are focusing on performance. The Sti is the last sti subaru will build so you also hold a piece of history. Up to you tho
I would say keep the sti big turbo and a wastegate would be fun and would sound crazy or you can keep the sti how it is and just spend the money on a new build.
i love the STi and personally i think you should start building it in performance but we all know you can get a LOOOTTTT more out of a M3 with a lot less work. plus you really want a new platform to build so i say, for you and your goals, sell STi, get M3
I know this is a LOT different than what you’re used to but a cool off-road build would be so interesting to watch! I’d be down for some nice scenic vlogs too😌
Finally watched this video! I was busying! Sti is great for investment so it would be hard to let it go, but bmw content will be great investment especially the views that you would never know once u get f80 so fk it jump to bmw 😭😭 up to you! LOVE YOUR VIDEOOO
My opinion! Try going for something new BMW is on every car TH-cam channel.. And mustang you already had, obviously it will be a different BMW/Mustang… all I’m saying is try Honda 👀😂 do you Chris love watching no matter what!
Look man I don't even own any of the cars you own I drive a Z 09😅 but I like your channel because you are a positive car guy and I like what you do I say keep it is your vehicle I used to own a mustang myself and would love to see a mustang build but I enjoy the vehicles you own as well 💯
I think you should get rid of one of the 86’s bro. If you threw alittle power at the STi, maybe going flex fuel , you would love it! Supporting no matter what decision you make bro!!
I’m pretty much done with the wrx and sti platform after owning them for 4 years or so. I have mine for sale for a f82 or f80. My sti and wrx just eat up money and it doesn’t get any better when going for power. I’d rather spend the money on a faster more luxury car than put 20k into a Subaru not including the price of the car.
I think you should def dive into a BMW like others have said you still have the FRS and BRZ that we all love but it would be exciting to see what you would bring to the BMW scene I can definitely see you taking a route most M owners don’t you have a taste that could be refreshing for that whole scene
Honestly bro as much as I love the sti, and when I say I love this build I really do. BUT you kinda tell you kinda lost the love for the sti. And as much as I would love to see you do a high hp sti, it would be cheaper to just buy a m3, m4 and do a down pipe and tune and you'll be at double the power the only con is that this might be the last sti and value might go up in the future but aye you lose something to gain more in the future either way Ima still support no matter what 🤞🏻🔥🔥🔥
You should sell the FRS and STI & get a BMW or a Mustang I know you put a lot of money in the Frs and Sti but they just parked or when it get move it just get the same parts change
@@chris_borges very slept on 4 door cars are the 2016+ m550i and 750i. I been looking at em cuz prices are good, they're fast, every feature in the world, and super comfy for a cool vip build.
Like this comment if I should KEEP it and build it even better! 👀
Make it fast!!!
Yesssur
I think make it fast with a big turbo set up
sell one of the brz/frs cuz they are the same chassis. The sti is the best car you have :(
No. Get a Beamer or mustang 🥲

So much love man the content is great!!
Decisions. 😭😭😭
I’ve always been a JDM guy but I’ve been looking into the Dodge Challenger. Would be amazing to see an interesting channel built one of those.
Bro u gotta do a mustang build and I feel your pain on the underglow same thing happen to me now I gotta get mine replaced
I'm with you on that I'm more about eye candy I don't care about speed I mean honestly 350 is plenty I see people on here want 600 800 horsepower and that's fine I guess if you're going to race it and I'm sure a lot of them do but I'm more impressed with how you make the car look and not overdo it a lot of people overdo the eye candy like a wing the size of the car that's just ridiculous
To me, it would be cool to see you get a older JDM car and building it. Also you talk about the Mustang a lot, go get that dream car and build it how you want!
What’s your gut feeling? What do YOU want to do? I know you’re torn but you have to decide in the end. Can’t say I understand what running a TH-cam channel is like but I know you regretted selling the wrx. Something new is always fun but once the “new” wears off and you realize all the things you sacrificed will it be worth it then? Honestly, build the STi keep it and upgrade that block, upgrade the turbo, build the internals, you’ll be surprised how different it feels with some engine upgrades. EJ’s are a lot different than the fa motors. But that’s just my opinion 2 cents. Appreciate the transparency, but bro, don’t do it for content, do it for you. We’re here because we dig what you do, do your thing, the real ones will stick around regardless. 🤙🏻
i'd say you should keep the brz for more show car, start power building the STI, and then have an M3 for somewhat show/street build!
Same here im thinking to buy a lexus is 350 f sport
W video Chris, can't wait for the BRZ merch drop! 🔥🔥
Couple days away!
I feel like I can speak for most people. Get rid of it for a bmw whether it’s a f80 or g80 but I wouldn’t suggest getting rid of it for a mustang I much rather see it get fully built than seeing a mustang build.
I wanna see an m3 with your taste and the quality of builds I think an m3 would be insane and probably one if not the cleanest out of you built one
Don't sell it, your content is unique honestly ur car collection is cool and i love what' you've done to them.
The M3-M4 will hands down be the best choice for a new build and even BIGGER audience
Agreed! 👏🏻
Bro I know its good to be different and unique but a lot of Car youtubers buying BMW's gotta follow the trend to gain the channel like you said its for business but at the same time BMW are fun to drive especially a Manual spec
Aye yooo chris!!! Check between the frs and sti would would be the most profitable and also compare whats more feasible for future content. Personally i do say sell the frs.. you have had the car for yearssss.. and there isnt much you can other than motor swap and fully race/track build
I’ve thought on it. That car is my baby though. So much sentimental value to me it would be realllyyyy hard.
Honestly Chris maybe venture into doing a project car series? Maybe an older Evo, S14/S15, r32-r34. Some form of older jdm rhd car. As much as I love the f80, bmw content as a whole is over saturated right now.
All bug automotive you tubers have a diverse collection of car content, it would definitely help your channel grow.
💯💯💯💯
haters will say the ending is fake
😂😂😂😂😂
M time maneeeee👀🙏
build a focus st or rs. A m3 would also be sick!!
definitely get another platform, 3 suabrus is cool but mixing it up would be a nice change.
Facts. Definitely time for something new!
E92 M3 :)) Love the vids broo🔥
M3 is my dream car 💯🔥 that v8 just does something to my heart ❤️
Tbh, I have those JLs, they’re alright. I would’ve gone with DS18. I’m going with Hertz for my next door speakers
Personally, as you have said you’ve wanted to be a bit different. I’ve been watching you for 3 years now and yeah it’s the same cosmetic stuff with some performance content. I think best for you would be get into performance. It’ll build your portfolio as a car guy and it’ll help me and others also get ideas who are focusing on performance. The Sti is the last sti subaru will build so you also hold a piece of history. Up to you tho
I would say keep the sti big turbo and a wastegate would be fun and would sound crazy or you can keep the sti how it is and just spend the money on a new build.
i love the STi and personally i think you should start building it in performance but we all know you can get a LOOOTTTT more out of a M3 with a lot less work. plus you really want a new platform to build so i say, for you and your goals, sell STi, get M3
I know this is a LOT different than what you’re used to but a cool off-road build would be so interesting to watch! I’d be down for some nice scenic vlogs too😌
This would be a vibe 👏🏻
Get a budget car and do a budget static stance build series
Thought about this!! Def would be so down. 😉
Finally watched this video! I was busying! Sti is great for investment so it would be hard to let it go, but bmw content will be great investment especially the views that you would never know once u get f80 so fk it jump to bmw 😭😭 up to you! LOVE YOUR VIDEOOO
M3 it’s something different you had a stang already you got 2jdm go for a euro spec m3
What’s the point of having the brz and Frs, I would sell one of those since it’s basically the same car
My opinion!
Try going for something new BMW is on every car TH-cam channel.. And mustang you already had, obviously it will be a different BMW/Mustang… all I’m saying is try Honda 👀😂 do you Chris love watching no matter what!
Look man I don't even own any of the cars you own I drive a Z 09😅 but I like your channel because you are a positive car guy and I like what you do I say keep it is your vehicle I used to own a mustang myself and would love to see a mustang build but I enjoy the vehicles you own as well 💯
I think you should get rid of one of the 86’s bro. If you threw alittle power at the STi, maybe going flex fuel , you would love it! Supporting no matter what decision you make bro!!
Mannn it would be hard to let go of the FRS..
Tbh I could really see Chris do a BMW M3 or M4. The stang is cool but doing something entirely brand new I think would bring a new exciting challenge.
I’m pretty much done with the wrx and sti platform after owning them for 4 years or so. I have mine for sale for a f82 or f80. My sti and wrx just eat up money and it doesn’t get any better when going for power. I’d rather spend the money on a faster more luxury car than put 20k into a Subaru not including the price of the car.
STI Prices are going up, I Just got a 2016 STI here in Australia
Idk why but I feel like if he gets a type r he will make that thing look sick. 🔥🔥something different for this channel
I'd love to see a F80 M3 or F30 340i, but a Civic Type R is a great car you could potentially move to as well.
I think you should def dive into a BMW like others have said you still have the FRS and BRZ that we all love but it would be exciting to see what you would bring to the BMW scene I can definitely see you taking a route most M owners don’t you have a taste that could be refreshing for that whole scene
Def would be down to spice it up for the BMW community 👀
Honestly bro as much as I love the sti, and when I say I love this build I really do. BUT you kinda tell you kinda lost the love for the sti. And as much as I would love to see you do a high hp sti, it would be cheaper to just buy a m3, m4 and do a down pipe and tune and you'll be at double the power the only con is that this might be the last sti and value might go up in the future but aye you lose something to gain more in the future either way Ima still support no matter what 🤞🏻🔥🔥🔥
You should sell the FRS and STI & get a BMW or a Mustang I know you put a lot of money in the Frs and Sti but they just parked or when it get move it just get the same parts change
Keep the STI to track and actually use(obviously revert to more of a track build). But a M4 would be nice 👀👀
Gotta get rid of one of the cars 😭
Get a Honda civic SI or type R I can see you in both
Any car you choose next it will still be good content 👍🏼 you make it worth watching! 🙌🏼
I’m biased towards the FRS/BRZ so I say drop the STI for something new. I’d love to see a S650 or M3 on the channel for sure.
Put the mic in the engine bay for turbo noises
Been wanting to try this!
Keep it bro!
F8x, g8x, or another mustang next.
Can also consider a vette. C6 or c7 is for you. Can fit HUGE wheels. They look sick. Fast as fcuk. Etc
I’ve considered a vette but def wanna keep a 4 door in the fleet!
@@chris_borges very slept on 4 door cars are the 2016+ m550i and 750i. I been looking at em cuz prices are good, they're fast, every feature in the world, and super comfy for a cool vip build.
bros so wholesome like how can you hate this guy
