The 250 hours includes everything you see done along with assembling the engine from a bare short block. I built the engine 3 years prior before I was youtubing. So I only have pictures of it going together.
Seats are custom from 06 LGT, fully functioning duel power seats. No air bag light as I essentially swapped all the original wrx equipment under the seats.
Leather door cards from leather model impreza along with rear leather seat.
To watch full length versions of this build please see ultimate hawkeye build!

Nice work Jesse

You be doing God’s work; she turned out fantastic. Hard not to be jealous of that Subie!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thanks brother

[@RoadPatina]

Beautiful! The underside, details, and that trans, pure artwork!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thanks brother! Young walter was the master mind in colour choice. He says this is his car for when he gets big. Im thinking when he gets to go home it might be cool to pick him up in this.

[@RoadPatina]

@@TheSubieSanctuary so cool, he would love it! Great first car too if you can swing it. Well except for potential shenanigans.

Hi dad

[@SpendioGarage]

It’s really so simple such a sick process I want to achieve one day with my own

[@jarredstorer8998]

love your videos, wish I had the money to send my Subaru to you guys for the works

[@thesniperofcs]

Good job 👏🏻 I loved everything you did on this STI It’s time for clear JDM tail lights and STI wing 🤠✌🏻

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

I dont think I could do the wing, im too old 😂 These are the 04/05 tails with the white paint tinted amber. I dont much like the 06/07 tails

[@thesniperofcs]

@@TheSubieSanctuary Trust me, you will need a wing/spoiler for stability and downforce especially when cornering I bought a spoiler from a 98’ legacy for my 2002 legacy, both are sedans, I couldn’t believe how the car performed after that, in the meantime it didn’t look as good as if I put a 2002 spoiler, but I didn’t find a used one that time My brother did the same thing on his 09’ impreza, he installed a 07’ impreza spoiler and it performed better For the tail lights I like the OEM JDM tail lights, all of them 🤠 i owned a 07’ impreza with a sunroof, manual transmission, EJ20 NA engine for two weeks but couldn’t finish the safety test for it and the previous owner decided to take it back with full refund including full tank of gas and for everything I fixed and replaced Found it few months later on the junkyard and it was in a horrible accident I got a lot of parts from that car The transmission for my brother’s 09’ impreza The seats for my 02’ legacy And many other good parts that I can’t remember 🤠 i sold my 02’ legacy and I saw it listed for sale few times and it is still clean and beautiful and well maintained ♥️🤠 Hopefully in the future I will be able to transfer a whole impreza 07’ interior, engine and other stuff into a 03’ legacy I’m a big fan of the dashboard honestly 🤠♥️

[@ChirsSmedely]

@@thesniperofcs I like the enthusiasm but the sti wing (or basically any subaru factory wing) doesn’t add any real downforce. It’s measured at 50 pounds downforce at 160km/h(100mph) which on a 3200lb car wouldn’t be noticeable. I think they look cool but sadly anything you’d feel is just a placebo. Didn’t stop me from getting one because I’m mentally 14 years old.

[@WhistlinDieselClips]

Would you be able to do rockers and a little patch in the floor when my cars running again?

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thats what we do! Just let me know

[@acidfrogs10]

Now lets hear how she sounds :)

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Yes 🙌 Ive been doing some road break in. Going to book a dyno soon. Will definitely post a vid as a follow up!

[@yamilmelendez2667]

Broooo I truly loved this video I wish I had the money and the time and allll the knowledge to do all this. i did swapped my RS engine with all the harness and fuel system and tank from one side to the other but this is to much. Loce it

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thanks so much, It was a lot work. But it sounds like your very capable too!

[@yamilmelendez2667]

@@TheSubieSanctuary well thats at least what I’d like to think myself 😂😂 cause I do love cars and doing things myself but I’m still not a license mechanic and never studied anything just all learning while watching videos and doing things myself but hope in the future I could do things like u cause I still don’t dare too open a engine though 😂😂 it scares me to screw up on the timing and lose a whole lot of money just for one teeth on the timing.😂😂

[@bladedgerm2534]

hey I'm from sourthern Ontario and was wondering how you got the templates for the side skits? aka "sube savers"

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

We actually just use a paint marker on the very tip of the side mounting clips. It leaves a mark on rocker, then drill. Attach first clip and work your way back

[@rebel.mma.youtube]

Would of loved this way slower ❤❤ thanks though

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thanks brother! I actually have a whole playlist on it going through whole process in normal’ish speed. kzbin.info/aero/PLpilxVRNe2NOGIp_6sAFk4KLh9YckWUn0&si=0BLTskS1TqBYaNQo

[@rebel.mma.youtube]

@@TheSubieSanctuary thanks. All I think about is doing this to my bugeye wrx I have 6 speed ready to go it. And I want to rebuild block as it got 130k miles still going well but cylinder 1 is 125 when rest is 145 equally. If I remove engine and gear box I'm think might as well do petrol tank. I can do it all myself too. Then I think about repainting underneath. Rust wise it good so thinking to paint over original underseal. Thinking white but can't decide colour. Then I want to roll cage the car so want to do weight saving mods to interior etc.

[@rebel.mma.youtube]

@@TheSubieSanctuary gonna watch

[@jmccastillon5400]

Awesome work! Curious on how much a job of this magnitude would cost roughly.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

That is a good question, years ago the engine that went in was completely rebuilt as well. Lots of mods added as well so i dont know if that totally counts. But 250 hours $15 - $20k in labour and bushings and powder coating another $4k

[@kw2519]

All of it.

[@masterchief7590]

what brand are those headlights?

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Spyder www.ebay.ca/itm/Spyder-for-Subaru-WRX-2006-2007-Projector-Headlights-Halogen-Only-Black-/354039953058?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[@ReefyBmx]

What if I sent my car to you guys for you guys to finish my build? How much will it cost?

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Depending on what we doing, it currently ranges from $60-$90/hr. Just depends if it falls under body or mechanical.

[@brandonholloman6835]

What year is this Subaru BRZ???

[@TheSubieSanctuary]
