Building ANOTHER Subaru R-STI

[@JCMMA555]

this is currently my favorite season of the smeedia show

[@Smeedia]

All the old Imprezas 😂

[@boosTiMon]

Tis the smeeson

[@jp_youngin_5035]

@@SmeediaI’m applying it to my newer XT😂your a good teacher Tnnaer👏

[@angusddog]

Who else is curious what other treasures he’s hiding in the other indoor unit?

[@Smeedia]

All sorts of goodies over there 👀

[@followtheornghat]

I am highly curious 🤔

[@Christosan88]

I wish I was on your team to prep engine bay, paint the dash bar, clean /paint suspension, etc. Congrats man, living a dream.

[@codyhendrickson7735]

The white Impreza is going to be looking good after she's freshly painted, especially with the silver STI BBS wheels. They suit the car really well.

[@Smeedia]

Yessssir, he’s getting it repainted the factory Acadia green again 🔥

[@scottphillips364]

Wooo! So stoked! Good work! Save the coupes!

[@Smeedia]

Yessir! Your car should be gnarly when done!

[@AudioHead809]

Seeing the engine bay with nothing but the long block and intake manifold sitting in there really makes you appreciate how low those engines sit. It definitely makes sense why Subarus handle well when you see it like that lol. Another banger video like always

[@Smeedia]

The sit realllllllly low, and with so little on it right now there is plenty of room for activities 😅

[@EverySingleSunday]

We’re happy for a break from bodywork also :)

[@Smeedia]

The body work is so time consuming 😂

[@talmonclear7502]

Driveshaft sitting in the passenger seat like it's about to reminisce about when they first created chocolate

[@Smeedia]

😂😂😂😂

[@AudioHead809]

Lmao that’s insane 😂😂

[@h2obelow1]

This is exactly what we are doing to my sons gf. Changing colour from silver to world rally blues as well. (doing all the painting m,yself even though im not a painter) wish i could share photos though i have only done engine bay so far.

[@Smeedia]

How’s the paint coming out so far? 👀 I mean I’m not a painter either but I still go for it 😅

[@h2obelow1]

@@Smeedia cant post a photo but i just followed you on insta (ummm dunno how to give you my insta without thinking i am trying to get followers lol)

[@pwnzama9403]

At this rate with you doing these swaps and 22b clones instead of Prodriveyou should call yourself Brodrive.The Brodrive factory.

[@HeidiFegles]

Solution is modify the car to fit the motor in with the header and turbo installed. Well worth it. I did that to my 85 rx turbo swap. Removable top rad support.

[@Smeedia]

It is doable, but you’d have the make the front lower core support come out 😅

[@HeidiFegles]

@@Smeedia my car had some rust issues so that cut/ modify came easy.. hard to chop a solid car but when she’s got rust issues. Or a crash like the clone chopping and customizing is the right thing to do.

[@swoosh8474]

Bro, I got sooo many subaru build ideas, but I need to find a way to make money building them (or at least break even). It's a ton of fun watching you build subis, it inspires me for my future ideas.

[@da9pauly]

Do you have a video of what parts are needed ( besides the obvious parts) for STI conversion of transmission, suspension and hubs for my Forester???

[@travisquire3386]

Can’t wait to see the 22B clone done. Question brother… what grease do you use to lube the clutch fork/TOB? About to do my clutch soon.

[@Smeedia]

I use Moly Grease on them all 🫡

[@travisquire3386]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Can’t get the Subaru recommended Nichomoly N130 In the states.

[@Owensti]

Man there’s a Rs for $700 local to me. I’m so close to just buying it and Wrx swapping it. The more I see them the more they grow on me! 😭👍

[@Smeedia]

SEND IT!!! $700 is a steal for a decent chassis

[@Quillasious]

hell yeah

[@Smeedia]

🎉🎉🎉

[@dennissterner3350]

Looks good

[@Smeedia]

This info should be a solid little car when done 🎉

[@tw1st3dw1ll7]

How long out for 22Bish roof plug?

[@Smeedia]

Prob two months or so 👀 will be doing a graphic run for 15 units or so

[@jmfox1987]

I have two extra Jesus bolts if you need them. had the USPS lose my package so I had to reorder a bunch

[@Smeedia]

I have some in order but appreciate it 🥳🫶

[@Dr._Brian]

Tanner- i have a problem. I have a bugeye that's been giving me starting issues. Fairly new battery, fairly new alternator, brand new starter (it still gave me problems after replacing it) i found the relay set, under the dash, but NONE of them are marked... and i can't find any clear answers 😖🔫

[@Smeedia]

Is the car cranking over at all or is the start just not doing anything?

[@Dr._Brian]

@ the starter doesn't even click. I can hear the fuel pumps going n a few other little things... but not the click from the starter...

[@Dr._Brian]

@@Smeedia 👆🏼😖

[@alfozinsavage4875]

Another mean ass build. Luv it 💪🏽

[@mooseinabox6321]

beyond lucky to have found a prefacelift with black interior. those door cards are impossible to find

[@omialmanza1900]

These ol'subies tho👍🏽 Awesome video!

[@Smeedia]

apparently we doing all the old ones now 😂

[@AKGWolf]

have you had any experience with the jdm twin scroll setups, im hoping for 300hp on a 2.0L and to have a really fun daily

[@Smeedia]

I have not, they don’t pop up too often and they’re typically overpriced for what they are imo

[@AKGWolf]

@Smeedia I'm getting another 20x and I can give you a turbo and headers because I already have some, you can have it for whatever it's worth to you I dont really care I won't use them.

[@HeidiFegles]

Be careful under those dashes the metal is razor sharp I cut my wrist bad pulling a dash out right between the glove and the sleeve. Now I wear tig welding gloves to do it no matter how dumb I look doing it.

[@Smeedia]

I haven’t had em slice me yet 😅 but definitely some sharp metal off the dash bar and some of those brackets

[@HeidiFegles]

@ gotta scar for life to talk about now bro.

[@mr.baconman956]

What red do you use for the manifolds? I’m trying to get my sti manifold repowder coated

[@Thechaoscrusadors]

Amazing video as always!! Eager to see your 22b rip!!! Weord question. Do i need amy special tools for a brake pad swap on my va sti? I know i can google it or check forums. But i like to ask people directly. Also i have finally started weekly videos!!! Theyre not great but theyre progress!! Thanks againnfor being an inspiration point and always putting out amazing content!!!

[@Smeedia]

I’ll check em out! And no special tools should be needed for the brake pads 🫡🫡🫡

[@Thechaoscrusadors]

@Smeedia dooope!! New brakes next week then!!! Noooooooooo!!! Ill let you know when i am not unhappy with my videos 🤣

[@professorlife1619]

I guess no painting the engine bay, seems that’s oem color

[@Smeedia]

It’s being paint Acadia green a green. Should be headed to the paint shop soon 🫡

[@EvynJoey5]

What lift are you using?

[@mikeymars3389]

Is there a way to make a stock Va wrx give me just a little louder turbo sound

[@stormtrooperjetta9585]

Let’s goo

Tbh, no 😅

[@notsponsored103]

In Australia we dont have Jesus bolts, we have Lazarus bolts. We just look at them and say "Lazarus! Come out!" and they come out.

I will always write this: keep the GD tophats there is no disadvantage, you can give more castor.
