"he wants to fix it up..." That BMW will not be touched lol
Factssss
Exactly what I thought. Just gonna continue to sit and rot
As an STI owner, I would personally recommend getting either a Killer B Oil Pickup and Baffle or an IAG Oil Pickup and Baffle kit as a reliability mod for this car because the EJ series engines are known to have bad oil pickups from the factory, especially knowing you guys are going to track the car. Just a heads up, but nice choice for the car, I know you guys are gonna kill it with the build 👍🏽
Does mIsHiTo make it? Otherwise it ain't going on the car lol
Everytime Ricky reckons "That's not gonna fit...", Quinn just walks up & slaps it on! Every. Time.
Yall please go back for the forester 😂 I’d love to see yall build one!!
Same here! Imma have to look at that place in SD they went to.
Please
and Sti forester will be sick. bring back a stick and turbo forester which subaru not making anymore
@@scoutroyhk the closest thing we’ve gotten is the 22-23 manual crosstrek smh
5:11 the infamous eclipse spin out!!! The reverse lights 💡 are ON!
The bad stigma around sti and evos is sad because these car’s phenomenal if taken care of . I’ve had multiple and last year bought a (21 ) sti and man I beat that car so hard but my maintenance is perfect . That’s the key to these two cars , the car is only as reliable as their owners . The owners are the ones always as fault for the cars failing prematurely.
Can’t just start throwing new power adders to them without the proper supporting modifications! Had an 06 Hawkeye and that thing ran like a champ!
We LS swap all Scoobies down here in the south. Volkswagen copy cats😂
Hating on the WS6 is wild.
They’re such badass cars and that LS1 can take some abuse and can make TREMENDOUS amounts of healthy power and torque on a budget. Functional Ram air, T56 6spd transmission, 325hp/345ft lbs, 13.5 1/4 mile @107 stock, and weighing roughly 3400ish lbs. made them a menace back in the day.
I used to have one, '98. It was my Dad's when I was in highschool, bought it off him years later, engine finally went ka-putz @ 297k miles. If I'd had the money at the time I woulda dropped in another LS1 n kept it. Regret having to sell it, as I do with most of my prev vehicles lol. GREAT underappreciated car tho! Under those curves its like +90% C5 Vette with a back seat. Sits right btwn a base and Z06, performance wise.
I had white Hawkeye 07 - the car was sick AF and sounded insane with a Tomei exhaust 👌🏼
This is going to be an amazing build ...pretty brutal dent in that titanium mid-pipe at 13:47 though :D
I noticed that too. I've had a few exhausts for my 04 that would always rattle on the driveshaft carrier bearing (depending on what brand/length of hangers you use) , and would require a bit of hammer time to fix. But I can't recall which part of the midpipe haha
I hope you buy a Mitsubishi GTO for the second time and modify it to be used on the race track perfectly, that would be really cool 🔥
One of the most sought after STIs due to the longer gear ratio! I've had 52 Subarus now. Stoked to see what you guys do with this one!
I love that you guys did all the paint work ahead of time and waited to introduce the project until TPC was done with it.
EJ25 is the name of the motor collectively. Specifically the EJ257 is the STi exclusive 2.5L motor. The EJ255 was another sought after block for it came in the Legacy GT and WRX and the differences were pistons internally and minor bolt on changes.
The hood has to be my favorite part so far! I can't wait to see the wheels! I expect a rickieleakz in the vip grouppp
I'm just curious how much work it took for them to get that hood aligned and fitting before they painted it. Every Seibon hood I've ever seen has fit like total garbage.
tf happend to the E36
just being a part of this company even for a cleaning guy is a dream come true if you are a car guy
Hey throtl im looking for a job, fly me there to your garage
Lmao the least you can do, if fly YOURSELF to them
Would you all ever be willing to do a completely different car? Don’t laugh but a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited? I’ve been into cars my entire life and have lightly modded a couple 97 and a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I’ve always wanted a fast fun car. Circumstances in my life have made it more than challenging and at the end of the day my cars turned into getting me from point A to point B. Despite this I took immaculate care of my cars. They are family. You Al should consider a car completely out of your normal. I would love to see a four door sedan family car be turned into the ultimate sleeper. I LOVE the channel and thanks for all the AMAZING informative fun content. Always a nice escape from reality. Sending as always great energy and tons of support!!
I miss my 2015 STI. You guys should build another one and drop an IAG crate engine in, rotated turbo setup for big boost, full engine back exhaust, fuel system, E85 and just make a huge power STI. IAG's blocks hold insane power
They said they only do emission compliant builds so it’s not a headache for the future owner
The 2002 Trans Am and Camaro are so overlooked🔥
Quin bro, the ej25 and the ej255 is exactly the same, just the 255 is a wrx and the 257 is sti same as the the ej20 the ej205 is wrx and ej207 is sti. Hope it helps
Depends on the years but early EJ255's had B25 heads and later EJ255's had D25 heads, where as all 257's had B25 heads. The turbos on the 255's differed from 257 as well.
@@chandlerbraaten847 yeah true but in they’re case it’s a ej257 do we know the heads no so I just said that just so It don’t cause confusion 😁
207 has some stronger internals 257 does not
13:33 my mind just locked up when Quinn picked up that titanium pipe like it was paper
Sweeeeet blessing on Friday. The paint job looks amazing. Let's go new giveaway!!
Bought a 2015 sti from that dealership a few months ago. Great spot for redone subies 🤟
No more before and after right in the beginning?! YESS! Now i can enjoy a car build without spoilers!
There's a bunch of differences between the engines depending on the years but the basic thing is EJ255 is the non STi engine. The EJ257 got different heads, slightly higher compression ratio, and then it gets a little fuzzy depending on the year of revision afterward - I think the 257 then got more updates to the crank, pistons, camshafts...
Nice subaru Impreza wrx sti and nice hood really cool 😎
I bought my Hawkeye there almost 10 years ago! Excited to see the build 👍
Thank you soo much for doing this video❤ for years I’ve been waiting for this😅😊
I used to talk shit on Subarus until I recently got my 05 STI and I’m in love. I’m so mad I never got one sooner. I’ve already spent over 10k on bigger turbo and all supporting mods not including my volk Ze40s and suspension and I’ve only had it 3 months😂
Made my Friday thanks guys!
I freaky love you guys for finally doing a subie build
Can I just say I love the fact that whenever it comes to cooling I know it’s gonna be Mishimoto.
Just what I needed on a Friday morning 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let’s gooo. Hawkeye sti sweepstakes ftw
Ever since I saw the movie Baby Driver I've always wanted a Subaru like the red one in the movie but I can't afford one 😞
Looking clean! Can’t wait to see what throtl does with this beauty! 🔥💯 #VIPSQUAD
So excited for this one! It's going to turn out so friggin awesome!
Amazing choice!
Throtl building a head gasket destroyer 3000! Nice!
Nice! Looking forward to Part 2 and 3
You guys always do the best cars imo
Your ideas are always so unique and interesting. Thank you for your creativity!🎓🍰🥤
Yo 😂😂 at 14:32 Ricky made me think of that Internet prairie dog named pippy that goes woo!!! on command! 🤣
Geez I want my 06 STI to get this kind of love!
It was only right to do a Subie after the Evo. I'm team Mitsu but really looking forward to this!
Need to get a baffled oil pan or at the very least a windage tray if you plan on tracking it. Aftermarket pickup is highly recommended as well. -2009 WRX Hatch owner
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH
4:17 supra just chilling in the back
so appropriate to do a subaru right after a Mitsubishi also it's an ej257!
Subaru WRX é o melhor carro do século !!!!!!! e bonito por natureza!!!!!!! forte abraço do Brasil Amigos !!!!!!
I do love these STI's
The the EJ250 is the non turbo engine, weak internals, common to blow head gaskets, Ej255 turbo engine slightly stronger internals better flowing heads comes in the wrx and forester xt, Ej257 is the STI engine, factory forged internals expect for the pistons, ring land failure is the first thing to go on engines when you try to push for more power
If the car is going to be track focused, you MUST upgrade the oil pan! Otherwise, the engine is at risk of oil starving! 💥KillerB has a very good one.
Get as many IAG parts as possible. IAG block closed deck, long block or also new heads, IAG Competition oil pan, GetADomTune cylinder 4 cooling mod, Cobb everything fueling and tuning, Protune, full exhaust… plus more Subarus are expense just do it right to begin with.
Nice Hawkeye pick up; the 07’s have slightly taller gear ratio so that’s pretty cool. You guys are really making me miss my 06 Hawkeye…are you guys going to add a downpipe? Better sound and decent power gains from that/tune. Love it!
Need to do the j pipe as well. Really bring out the sound!
Quinn is like, doing his thing and every body appreciate it but, His friend Ricky has to be there.
Absolutely love this car!!! This should be a giveaway!!!
This is my dream car build for a subaru. Can't believe it. If the wheels are gold I'm going to flip
I'm having Colin Mcrae Rally vibes on the PlayStation 1 here with this car 🤘🏼😍
Do another IS !! The last one was so clean ! But this the wagon
Working with you guys is my dream
Hey... clean up the diff ground contact and the diff light will go out. Aka the wire going to the top fill plug of the rear diff, the contact gets a little rusty
either the Forester or the GC….!! 😍😍
Yesssss! Another Subie! 🔥🔥🔥
Excited to follow along for this one! GD gang 4 life!
A trans am would be a sick build !
Save that E36. As a former E36 M3 owner, it's painful to see that. They're going to keep on rising boysss.
Best sti ever built look wise
Ricky working under the car: “right now Quinn is upstairs” 😂
Karlton flares is a throwback. Those were rare for a while when be quit the scene lol. Looks like the car comes with the 6 pot sti upgrade already too. Surprised you have a Cobb package with no downpipe though..
I'd love to see a WS6 build, that would be dope
Yall got my dream car
The eJ255 and EJ257 are both turbo engines they just come in different models like wrx and Forester XT
The EJ255 is in the same generation WRX’s (and maybe forester XT’s) this generation of STi has the EJ257
Buying that Trans Am would be dope
Yall need to do a sick forester build next 👀
Quinn and Ricky squaring up like siblings hahaha
18 05 pm south africa ❤
Really want to see either an s60r or v70r on this channel.
Missed opportunity when doing the short shifter to really take things to the next level and put a Delta Ti shifter u-joint in there.
you should for sure do a wagon...maybe an older
Legacy
This is my dream car! Let's go!
1:03 LMAO!!!
get some plates for Rickie’s rotary!
Now then, we're talking....had a scooby _doo...s.t.i....in black ⚫️, with gold motor_sports....all fresh import....full j.d.m......looked like something else...F/F...style....respect...
Ricky asking what ya'll see in the M3 is crazy, it honestly makes me view him differently and disgusting.
This baby has a brand new engine. All it needs is a new engine. All joking aside get a IAG oil pan / baffle. Basically just buy the whole IAG catalog while your at it.
Please do a 2021 VW GTI Autobahn, I need motivation.
I’m praying that it’ll happen but it probably won’t 🤪🫠
Dream Project car
Blob>hawk
put the clear hawkeye tail lights back on!
Yo do a makeover on a geo metro pre 94. That would be awesome!!!
nice Projekt😌
This what I been waiting for 😈
I would happily restore the e36 no problem
"These exhaust hangers are too small" ... Diddy would disagree
Ej255 is the 2.5 motor they put in the 2008-2014 wrx, they sti technically has an ej257
Plz go sequential gearbox
Switched off at the flares.
