In Qld. Oh have I been waiting for this. I have same colour and been wanting to see your upgrades. So beautiful, great minds think alike. Now this will help me convince the wifey. 😃
I love how the build is coming along dude!!!! I still dont understand why the VB isnt as beloved as the STI but with the potential of this engine I dont think an STI is necessary. I mean it is just as fast as an STI stock lol. anyways keep it up bortha!!!
I agree! I feel Like new wrx is a “sti” out of the box besides the gearbox and breaks but to be fair those are all things personally I don’t mind changing anyway since the chassis and FA engine are actually so goood. Appreciate the kind words bro!
Mate trying understand haters is like trying to understand them personally. Some idiots just needs to publicly announce their opinions & cars are superior to everyone else. These are cars ffs. Enjoy them & the community they bring & leave the haters where they belong.
@@ulyssesphani4770 really appreciate the kind words! Let Harry know I said hi haha and I’ll speak to them see if I can do some 10% discount or something for anyone that comes down there from my video.
My wing had installed by Dmaker. I can see the wing has vibration in the centre rear view mirror when the car drive on the rough road or drive on the bumpy road. Just wondering whether your wing got this issue?thanks
@@davidchow11 mine did. Actually in this video mine had a slight hairline fracture causing the issue. Just have a look over it to make sure there isn’t any cracks on it
@@7ol6athanks for the reply, I’ll check my one, Also I found actually there are two different part number for the trunk weather seal, one is 57532vc010 which is the car came with the sti wing in Japan. But in Australia the trunk weather seal part number is 57532vc000, this one only for the small spoiler. Better to change the trunk weather seal and adjust trunk lock otherwise the trunk lid gonna always hit the bumper when you driving on bumpy road.
@@7ol6a dang what about the spoiler?? Dare I say it looks better than some of these bigger companies like noble or aeroflowdynamics. Actually aeroflow is nice but I feel like the one on your car looks exactly how it’s supposed to! I may be trippin.. May I ask who it’s made by?
@@unclenick1968 honestly more personal taste. All will give slight downforce but for street use you won’t really feel a difference between them. If you’re tracking I would say something more along the lines of a GT Wing
@@zombielivesmatter7294 Again isn’t the point. Those are just what the parts are called. Although out of the box being a 2.4 with a what I believe better built chassis and the FA makes some decent torque / power over the ej. I would say slapping in a sti gearbox, LSD and Dccd would make for a better sti then a STI. Appreciate the comment tho!
@@7ol6a for sure not every car is for everyone, Subaru engineer at Willow event let us know and it's well documented that new VB is built on Forester and Ascent SUV chassis and drivetrain so it's more stronger safety and comfortable, as it should since it's SUV. But yeah, at least you admit STI is more superior, but not everyone has $10k for swapping that in to VB that barely cost $30, 1/3 of cost. But at least you're realistic about performance and know STI drivetrain is WAY superior. Many VB owners here in California straight out said their open front diff and open rear diff VB can outhandle AWD performance cars like the EVO or STI or my GTR with limited slip differentials front and rear. They lie and say they out perform a STI. Props to you for being one of the few non-delusional VB owners though, you admit STI drivetrain superior.
@@zombielivesmatter7294oh no I 100% agree with you. I kinda got into the WRX vb with the idea of going down that road. I want to do a few track days and see where the limit is and work from there
@@7ol6a Subaru just released their powerful VB build yesterday dubbed Project Midnight and Subaru THEMSELVES ditched the FA24 and put in a EJ207 built by Vermont Sportscars. This is SUBARU THEMSELVES, that should shut up FA enthusiasts for awhile.
@@zombielivesmatter7294 I just seen the article. I believe sometimes some classes of rally only accept 2.0L engines being the reason they would’ve done that. Just like how the Supra back in the days never ran the 2JZ and had to use the beams engine out of a Lexus. I believe so but I could be wrong
looks so good man. nice work. love it.
Almost a 10hr drive for me to make it to the Dmaker unit, wish I lived a little closer to the boys. Looking unreal, love it.
Well done, your Rex is looking great, the boot spoiler makes a nice improvement.. Thanks a nice video 👍 nsw
Oh man I agree! Works so well with everything

Looks so good bro!! Very aggressive 🔥
@@ThatCarLife Thank you brother !
The VB is really growing on me. Im after a new daily so this will be on the list
Going to copy your build, keep em coming, excellent vids!
That’s an awesome compliment! Wish you the best with your WRX
It’s true, it looks awesome. Your selections are great.
Thanks for sharing....with the kits and wing agree its more aggressive better looking VB...👍
Stock fenders look better. I wouldnt have went the with the wing but everything else is a masterpiece. Those ce28's are godly.
looks real clean man
Looks super tough. I’ve got the lips I’m just missing the wing. Now that I’ve seen your beast I’m going to visit dmaker for that wing.

What is that exact aero kit? Can't seem to find it.

Is that kit an exact replica of the STI OEM kit? Looks very close besides the badging
Exactly right man. It’s a direct replica but for almost quarter the price

@@waybach it’s a Dmaker bro. 👍
How do you decide on which wing kit to get? Is it personal taste, or is one wing better than the other?
@@unclenick1968 honestly more personal taste. All will give slight downforce but for street use you won’t really feel a difference between them.

Hi, i can't post a Reply could you check your settings, i have tried a few times now ? 🤔
@@robalexander7348 weird, let me check. Appreciate you letting me know
@@7ol6a OK Thanks
Any links for the kit?
Yes let me send that over. www.dmaker.com.au/search?q=vb&options%5Bprefix%5D=last
Seeing the spoiler in the rearview mirror gives you that STi, not WRX, feeling.
@@SonikJesus that’s the one. Appreciate the correction
who needs STI amazing handling of front LSD, center DCCD diff, and rear LSD when you can just get a STI wing, close enough right
