VA Bait to the MOON!

[@2018wrxaddict]

Two perfect smoke rings came out, as well, and floated to the heavens.

Smoke rings or smoke signals...

Without a hood it would've sent that rod to God

I don’t think this is what “pop the hood” means ….. head up bro, always great things to come from you and the team, bigger things to come. Keep being an inspiration to your team, if it means anything, your channel and videos motivated me to learn to build my own ej which i successfully completed recently after throwing a rod bearing….. was honestly gonna sell the car but had a change of heart on account of your content

[@Jonny_trans]

Lit weekend. I’m proud of my sideskirts #TeamBBR

[@inder.6091]

"my shits going home on the trailer" xD love the vids man cant wait for my tune on my new build with the BBR Stage 4 shortblock once shes ready to go!

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

Let's go BBR. All day baby. I purchased a 2020 STI Josh. My base model WRX shit a clutch @101K. I found a 2020 STI with only 9,421K on it from Escondido Carmax. Subies forever.

[@Visca_Motion_Pictures]

I seriously can’t even get mad when I see 3 ads. For all the hard work and dedication you put in and have for us , you deserve it all. This is by far my favorite channel on KZbin. When that new vid notification comes up on my Lock Screen, I know it’s a good day.

[@Visca_Motion_Pictures]

Kind of wish that other KZbinrs, wouldn’t have posted footage of the engine failure, before you got to explain everything. With all due respect.

[@brandonwarren2017]

Hell yeah Bader!! Super glad you're safe, keep that battle scar on the hood VA will be stronger! Love the transparency best in the game no doubt will be in the 8s soon

[@kylebickell9637]

New to the channel but this is one of my absolute favorites. Used to be huge into the Subaru scene and wish i found this years ago! Love to see Nate in the video too! Been off social media for a while so it’s good to see some of the faces i used to follow. Best of luck brother 🙌🏼🤘🏼

[@gar24407]

Just a thought. The fueltech can use distance to ground sensors to cut power when the front starts lifting. Could a similar set up cut spark to prevent sending rods to the moon when the car hops

[@_J_U_S_T_I_N_]

Alot of foreshadowing in that first minute haha. Props to you sending it all the way Josh. I'll buy some merch to try to help out with that expensive ass replacement block.

[@albertomarin7240]

I like how you knew you were bringing the car back not running. Still that first pass looked promising. Keep it up bader

[@SimonPhoenix2022]

Remember when V8 bait was a "street car"... man the sound inside the cabin is crazy.. All that clutch noise..

[@SimonPhoenix2022]

Ooh guess I missed the dog box video. 🐕 📦

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Yea she ain’t no quiet ride anymore lol

[@SubiSkank]

I’ve been waiting for this upload! I was really hoping this was your year after the struggles from last years TX2K. Here’s to next year boss! Congrats on the PB though!!

[@alorrick7546]

dude every time I've see an engine blow a perfect smoke ring its dead within a second! its kind of like the soul leaving to a better beyond! Crazy As for that hood scar as odd as it might sound I recently just come accost my first battle scar and I'm thinking about keeping it as it is replaceable and cosmetic. But has a story now and a lasting reminder or a wall hanger but we can't keep all junk. *maybe when the chassis dies? keep the hood on the wall?* till then leave it on the car?

[@alorrick7546]

sign and date the scar with Rodney came knockin!

[@alorrick7546]

add a mighty car mods Rodney sticker for each rod you toss! #MCM #MightyCarMods

[@craighendrix9719]

Motec ecu will do what it’s told to do and I guess it was told to “self destruct the engine” 🤣

[@almostJDM]

🤣🤣

[@dogdog4173]

leave the hood scar. It would be a cool story to tell.

[@aworkofart7110]

Sorry to see her go brother, looking forward to the rebuild and return of VA Bait 🤙🏻🍻

[@johanwoest8934]

Damn, was looking forward to seeing it get in to the 8's. KEEP THE HOOD. #BATTLESCARES

[@micko9111]

Hopefully your back on the track in no time.good to see you kept your cool as we’ll…the car looks bad ass btw,I have a 17 STI and I’ve learned a lot about the ej257 from your videos thank to you👌

[@SchreiLouisa]

VA bait suffered worst before ..keep it up man.. thumbs up!!

[@jefflang767]

Sad that she went boom, but damn if that isn't an amazing picture you got out of it 😂

[@golow88]

love your positive attitude man. Enjoy watching your channel!

[@kappy123]

God damn thumbnail's got me psyched!

[@canoPR]

Nice to meet you, well hell shit happens as we all know. Better luck next time

[@ladivalicious18]

Loved the video!! Crazy to have witnessed the whole thing hehe

[@TeeWRX]

Have you considered a2w? Nav's car has done great keeping intake temps in check with his system

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

TBH i have been considering it since ive always had nothing but issues with ATA.. I do have methanol for the car so that is up in the air as well. But then comes the learning curve of new fuel and needing to change to Black Aeromotive fuel pump.

[@bradleehill9662]

Are those straight cut gears in v.8 bait

[@boostedg215]

Sucks seeing it like this. But you were able to get a new pb with the car. I'm sure you'll come back stronger and faster.

[@nfsfanAndrew]

Can't wait for the teardown. Hope you can do one or at least a quick couple minute damage video.

[@igorushka]

Here we see ~ 65 psi of boost off the line. He says need to do peak boost gradually, not as soon as you let the clutch off.

[@float-v]

What happened to the STI that you got arrested in, in devins video?

[@boostedfrequency4695]

I am sorry for what happen I know it’s not just the money but the time to take all out and replace it. I think you should keep the hole and get a rod sticker and put it by the hole so the braided build history is well known 😊

[@BobbyB910]

Horry sheet @4:12 you definitely can see the future lol

[@PsychosiS012]

Good ol rodney decided to leave the chat. Gave him that one way trip to the moon. Rodney always wanting to leave the party to soon.

[@NathanElcoate]

Always sending it in the name of development!

[@ivtec4fun55]

"Yuh dun f*ed up". Hope it was fun!

[@slws14]

Make sure you do a tear down video of the carnage bader will make for a good spectacle lol.

[@thatrowdywrx5905]

My fa did that 😂😂 snaped my rod in half. And I have a hole exactly were that hole is

[@jasonelliott6985]

Would love to see you work on, manage and build a Road Track car... vs a straight line 1 and done car... i mean i get it... cramming as much HP in it to get it above 9 seconds... but personally i think thats boring.... (not you) but in general. I'm a sucker for track cars, time trials, touge racing, time attack, circuit tracks etc... where all driving fundamentals are at play vs just how much horsepower you have for a 9 second or better stop light performance.

[@R0cketRed]

Definitely leave the battle scar hood! Looks like it's been through the coals.

[@DrivewayDiscussions]

I watched va blow up. the amount of foreshadowing is insane in this video lmao
