I just would like to mention: I knew someone who owned a `08 wrx. I drove it.... loved it! But these are high maintenance machines, if you CHOOSE to drive them hard. My dad used to race. Every season, he pulled the engine, overhauled it then put it back together, reinstall engine, win races. He went through many engines. He rebuilt them until they were scrap. There is never going to be a truly happy marriage between a commuter and a race car. Only the determination of the driver.

Yeah, the stock WRX 5-speed transmission is good for about 350-380Hp. It was inevitable. The STI 6-speed transmission on the other hand, is good for about 500-520 Hp. I have a 2002 Bugeye WRX. Absolutely love it and it is the 2.0L variant, not the 2.5L, so I don't have to fear for blown head gasket even with 300Hp. Stock internals, except for the baffled oil tray, stronger oil pick-up (stock is trash brazed one, mine is welded with additional support arm) and bigger oil pump. No problems even after 10000 miles of daily driving. Constant oil and water checks and oil change at 6k miles, next is at 12k miles.

[@realtalk9195]

I'm buying a 2003 blob eye wrx think it's the 2.0 version off a friend in a few weeks for £15,000 but I'm unsure exactly what's been done to it. as he's a bit of a bullshiter. He told me in the past that it's 500bhp but I'm pretty sure that wrx can't really get to that bhp but sti can. I don't know too much about cars but I do really want it as it looks sick and got the wide body kit.. things I know about it is that it's got 36,000 miles as he had a new engine a few years back an it's got 3 gauges on front dash including the oil pressure. And a boost gauge on the front pillar.. it's ridiculously loud and pops n bangs really well which I love. I googled common faults an seems like it might be a good idea to get it compression tested to make sure the cylinders are ok. Would you say that's the main thing worth checking before buying? I know he's spent load's of money on it but want to know that the engine is good before I commit.

[@leonthalion]

would be an interesting addition to the Hi vs Low series, perhaps having a pre purchase inspection to be part of the show. Not only could it limit some lemons from getting through (requiring engine swaps etc, as in this case), but it would also show the value in pre purchase inspections in general. All the way from top tier comprehensive inspections (where they check literally everything) down to cheap and basic inspections. This would not also show the benefits of having even just a basic pre purchase inspection, as well as the lengths they go to in the more expensive and comprehensive inspections. Those exact comprehensive, yet expensive, inspections saved me from buying lemons on two occasions (R34 GTST and ironically, a WRX), both of which had basic inspections and passed with flying colors, where the more expensive services quickly found that in both instances, the vehicles had been in major accidents (R34 had a huge rear end collision, WRX must have been T-boned), however the shops that did the repairs the cars must have been very good, as any visible damage was cleverly hidden in a way that would fool just about anyone. They only started suspected something was off when their fancy laser measuring blah blah system picked up slight chassis twisting in both cases (the suspension, arms, toe, camber etc had all been realigned, effectively hiding the damage), to confirm their suspicions they then had a way of testing for weaknesses in the steel body work (don't ask me how) that showed stress points in the exact places you would expect given the accidents they were involved in. In the end I found a great bug-eye WRX that I got for a steal, the thing ran flawlessly for 6 years, only had about 450 at the wheels but she was a fun and reliable sleeper.

I love this car and it's history and commercial failure is a good story. Love what you guys do! And yes, I vape Jewel Mint flavor 😂.

[@BamMadness]

This series is amazing. I would consider moving to another bigger platform with huge Hi-Low differences like Mustangs. Mustangs and civics are like the two biggest aftermarket communities for these types of things. Seems to me like a lot less headache for your troubles too.

[@awgolasplowing]

I would say mustang's of the 1999-2004 generation. You can beat the crap out of them and they keep coming back for more. Turbo, supercharger, or nitrous you cant go wrong. The range between hi and low is huge too, so you can really show the contrast. Great series boys!

[@XxTECxgamers]

I’m not a Mustang fan myself, but I’d love to see them do a long series with something like the Mustang, I want to see them do Hi & Low with something American Muscle for sure since they have done Toyota, Nissan and Subaru. Something American or even European would be neat to see

Gotta stay loose and calm. If you tighten up, that's how bones start to break

[@SIRUNOWN]

@Le Floch Sometimes, but holding on tight is the reason I'm still around. Mind you, that was in an 84 Toyota pickup with a bench seat and only *mostly* functional seat belts in a roll-over. In a modern car with airbags and bucket seats, you're probably better off staying loose, less muscle and tissue damage too

Getting off at a racetrack is not the same as falling in a ditch on the roads. But seeing the car behind him have to go off track did get me worried!

[@garrette2999]

I'm not sure if Donut has plans for a HiLow season 4, but I think finding two matching rwd cars for turning into weekend drift car that you can still drive on the street. I think two 2000s 4.6l Mustangs or a pair of 98' or 99' LS400s would be awesome to see. I also think a drag car HiLow season would be fun to watch.

[@zachsmith6279]

[@ritzieabrera3161]

I love hi/low car series!! More please!!!!

[@dcoy158]

I’m still thinking you guys should do a money pit series on an old school Honda. You can use the EG hatch that Nolan got for $500. That way you can take your time building up a really nice setup. The cherry on top would be that you don’t need to worry about blowing the engine.

[@xexecuterxx]

the d series means that car is useless and a b or k swap is a big thing compared to turboing a miata

[@elbertstacy9602]

J swap it

[@christianjones3258]

@xexecuterxx turbo vitara build is sub$1000 and the d16 would make some serious hps, also a B swap in an EG chasis specifically is really easy so it would be viable if Nolan did single camD and James did Dual cam B

Yes the overall performance initially won't be much, but the reliability of good parts over time is what is key. Being able to run the exact same time lap after lap in 100+ degree weather is a plus. I love this comparison and glad you guys do this. Definitely like how you show what matters and what you can go cheap on and it will never really matter. This definitely helps with my car upgrades. Thanks! Oh and I learned not to buy a 2007 subaru wrx. Ever.

[@oftankoftan]

except it's the expensive car that wasn't reliable 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

@Donutmedia Love you're hi low series, along with many others. That being said I have a suggestion for another hi low build. How about a tow rig build? Maybe some 3/4 ton trucks or something that would totally benefit the Donut shop when the inevitable subie breakdown occurs. Not only that, but it would be an awesome mini series!

[@Grafights]

Looked like a lot of pain, but great fun to watch - thanks for making it (and I have no interest in cars whatsoever, but you guys piqued my interested with this. I'm off to watch the Z-Series now)

[@EnglishGamer2019]

This is for Low Car and your video editor The one eyed headlight The Blue wrap The DIY route to use parts (remember that low Z had a bottle for an oil catch can and welded diff) The Grey Silverback (you guys just happen to come across a silver WRX as low car) AND FINALLY, THE MUSIC TO MARK THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY IN THIS SERIES All these little bits and details really makes me appreciate all the work you’ve done so far (for the editor) on this channel. Keep it up 👍

[@Misterfairweather]

This series was super satisfying. Welcome to the pain of building a road course car, truth is sticky tires and good grip are somewhat your enemy when it comes to survivability but they're so much fun. I usually tell folks to target reliability upgrades and instruction before they go for performance upgrades but I think you gave folks a pretty fair perspective on the path a lot of folks take!
