“Building a STi swapped Widebody GC8 Impreza in 25 minutes” Built Not Bought #41

Building a STi swapped widebody GC8 Subaru Impreza can be a some what large project and mine was no exception. Fortunately for you I’ve made a build video that shows 2 years worth of work in only 25 minutes. Thank you Cameron Alford for putting this one together and good luck with your build.

Tony Hawks reaction says it all. Sick car dude

[@firstenemyslayer]

One of the absolute nicest gc8 on this planet and it's driven how it should be🤜🤛

Thank you

Not a GC8...

[@JamieBainbridge]

One minute you're a kid playing as this guy in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, next minute you're in your 30s and the algorithm is recommending you watch him build a car. Rad 😎

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Haha, crazy huh👊🏼😉

[@MikeyD64]

I know right!?

[@ZacWade]

I thought the same thing lol. I was heavy into skateboarding as a kid playing tony hawk and now I’m heavy into cars watching a character from the game build a Subaru lol

[@Propane_Flame]

whattttt!!!! I love these cars and my mom had an impreza one when I was born, I need to build one or have one built!!

[@RobertBrolo-l3q]

It's the Subie Wooo Clue 💪💪🏆🏆🏆​@@BuckyLasekOfficial

[@Davivd2]

That's probably the most complete rebuild I've ever seen of any car. Maybe 5 to 10 percent of the car is original. You are the ultimate Subaru fan.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thanks, it’s been such an amazing build with friends and one I’ll remember forever.

[@brinjoness3386]

​@@BuckyLasekOfficialhey Bucky, how you going man? How long have you been a subaru fan? 30 years for me. Good taste, love and respect from Australia

[@zodspeed]

I’m proud of myself for watching every single episode of this build 😂

I only watched when they bought the donor and this one lol

[@jimmorrison3715]

First you taught me how to drop in, now you have taught me how to do wheel well liners. I appreciate you

[@Slytheslayer]

Man, having been watching skateboarding since the early 90’s this warms my heart watching Buckey into cars as well! Love it!!

[@tonytherunner5455]

If the great Colin McRae was still around and came face to face with BuckYeah GC8 Subaru Impreza , I bet he’d give it a nod of approval.

[@glampstronzartonalbee3097]

bruh, he would be in that thing so quick with the pedal to the floor!!! This is such a killer build

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

It would be an honor to hand him the keys.

[@mcspeedypantsjr5713]

@@BuckyLasekOfficial based on how his cars looked at the end of a rally (stage 2), handing him the keys would be a mistake :)

BuckYeah been trying to find your channel again for months The 2 top comments say it best And salute to the daughter on the intro 👊 respect bro

[@MasterZero99]

Have never heard of Bucky Lasek until I started watching 2.5rs videos and THIS video came up on my feed. Seen this like 6 times already. Love it everytime!

[@dgarage9]

I always thought Bucky was the guy. This really shows he is all-time. Love the build and how relatable it is.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thank you

[@Black16STI]

Hands down best buld on KZbin. Congrats, you made every Subaru/WRC fans dream car, perfectly

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thank you

[@chipo280z]

One of the coolest and most entertaining builds on youtube for sure. Love every episode of it.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thanks for tuning in 👊🏼😉

[@phishbed]

I just finished the entire series and I have to say… 1. Netflix should pick this up! It’s arguably one of the best car shows I’ve ever seen! 2. Buck’s fab skills are indeed impressive. Not everyone can do that. 3. You can tell Bucky isn’t just a hotshot driver that Subaru brought in. He’s a true fan of the sport and the industry. 4. My favorite part was the tortoises.

[@bnmb676]

I'm preparing for the exact build right now and I'm so happy the I have found your channel! I can't tell you how equal I see every single mod and function of your car!! You are a true passionist and I celebrate your dedication and passion with all of my heart!! I hope, I will be as successful in my project, as you were/are... Keep on modding and having fun with your monster! Regards from Austria, Ben

[@ctf1537]

I recall going to a rally in S Wales where both Bertie and Mark Fisher (RIP to both) had each a GC8 rallying in the forests

[@theaveragejoebody]

Buck, You are a damn wizard. That car is something else man. Tony's reaction in the end was priceless.

[@DollyRoos]

man you are a fantastic person, your car is getting more beautiful, and the video is excellent....but the best part of the video was your 4:04 fall. 👍😃❤️🤣👍😃❤️🤣... success always friend.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thank you and stoked you enjoyed the video.

[@joshstancil1455]

that made the build look so much easier then it really is!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Maybe a little.

[@K03sport]

If we only knew the real amount of man-hours/time.... 🕟

[@mrwilson7769]

By far the best GC8 build iv seen

[@jaredpotts5275]

after keeping up with the whole series its nice to watch a recap this car is a gem

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

👊🏼😉

[@rigelparker3802]

Phenomenal build! White is such an elegant, underrated color on these cars. I love how it looks on my Impreza RS wagon.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Couldn't agree more!

[@КонстантинН-щ2ю]

Прекрасная работа! Особенно мне понравилось, что Вы антикоррозийную обработку машине сделали и самодельные локеры (подкрылки) установили. У нас такого листового материала нет, к сожалению. У меня Impreza GF-8 , 1999 года. И она почти как новая в моих руках. Я тоже люблю Subaru. Thanks!

[@victoralexanderkangas8756]

Beautiful! A bit more HP than necessary but that is just a side note. Congratulations on a very special vehicle build!

[@75sti75]

Inspiring! That’s how you build your dream car. Buck yeah!!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

You bet!

[@SixthyGTi]

Enjoy it my m8... Glad to see old pals still together (I loved Tony Hawk's pro skater on PS1)... :)

[@dorianleclair7390]

Damn I did not know Bucky built cars. Awesome work bro. Been a big fan since early skate board years.

[@donovansalgado8098]

Buck Wild time!

[@HugoHardinge]

If this is not the definition of "built not bought" then I don't know what is. Great job as always Bucky. Sweet to see Cameron Alford putting this together for you (the video) I love his channel and brand.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

👊🏼

[@josha3532]

This is one of my favorite videos on KZbin now. Awesome. Also I'm pretty much amazed when people can do it all. I can do the nuts and bolts mechanical stuff but watching Bucky do all that AND talented body work and paint as well. Incredible.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Thanks, stoked you enjoy the process because it’s definitely a lot of work.

[@OptimusBlaine]

No Bucky your a diamond in the rough. Killer video bro.

[@aaronredbaron]

I was stuck and frustrated on my swap, watched this video for inspiration and then I was able to make some progress! Thanks Bucky!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Rad!

[@aaronredbaron]

...And now my car is running and driving with the swap, thanks to your inspiration and a merge from iwire. Every time I speak with someone about my car and they ask why I built it, I send them back to this video to explain my inspiration!

[@CollinRowles]

No words can describe how sick this build is, awesome job Bucky!

[@GRANATBOARDS]

Such a sick build! I’m getting prepped for mine pretty soon. I have a 2000 2.5rs and the donor already which is an 05 sti. I always come back to these vids to get some more inspiration.

Sick!!

It really is 🔥

[@boofingenthusiast]

As an VAG diehard... I am jealous. Not going to lie, I love my Mom's Atlas. Wild how efficient those boxers are. My near 60 year old mom's SUV makes 50 more HP than my MK7 GTI did stock (both 2.0T 4 bangers). Driving a 3 series inline 6 now but man I won't lie... wish my VW made subaru power.

Cool! Porsche hunting and a Hawk sighting! Ride is beautiful!

[@alexmartinez280]

I’ve been saying since 2001 that it’s a great looking car and my opinion has only gotten stronger. We only got the 2.5RS here in the states and I would have loved to have one back then. This wide body build is just next level and looks so good. That 555 Rallye car wide body generation is still Subaru’s best model design.

[@albegt98]

[@occamsrazor1285]

Indeed. It was Subaru (and Subaru USA) dipping their toe in the water, so to speak. The 2.5RS is what convinced Subaru to bring the WRX, which in turn convinced them to bring the STI.
