Building the Perfect Daily Driver STI - Episode 1

[@michaelsanders5938]

Awwww.....Saturday morning. 8:00 am. Slightly overcast. The wife and kids are still asleep. A nice cup of coffee. And a new episode of Gears and Gasoline! Life is good.

[@niqbulseco3338]

Bro Im reading this as I sip on my hot chocolate. Life is indeed good!

[@MD-pz3cn]

Same here. Can't beat it! Like watching the Speed Channel on weekend mornings back in the day.

[@rjcayabyab8965]

I dont have wife and kids, but well said man 👍🏼

Watching this in my hammock listening to the birds. About 57F outside. Life is indeed good my friend.

[@or2wheels]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate these guys? Any other KZbinr would have made 16 different videos on the side skirts alone but in this single video we got suspension, wheels, interior, cosmetics, etc... So much content within 20 mins. Enjoyable to watch, straight to the point!

[@sprucewood4856]

yeah, a great channel, ive just been binge watching since yesterday

[@H2kPat0]

Love how all these small mods come together, looking forward to see you drive that car soon again Ben!

Hope you feel better Ben...i swear y'all have one of the most genuine automotive channels. And that STI is cleeeeen. Let's see some snow drifts this winter. Evo9MR vs WrxSTI winter driving. 😄

[@justace123]

Hope you’re recovering Ben! We need you out here! Additionally, when you go to sell this STI, I’m calling dibs! Lol

[@dylandarity8694]

ben..... we have the same car! you have inspired me so much through the years. I almost sti swapped my forester because of you but went into a offroad route with it. and now i have my 2016 whit sti for the street. cant wait to modify the cosmetics more. keeping the engine stock for now.

[@pandacoupe]

That steering wheel looks amazing. What a change from the standard one 👍👍

[@syedrehanfida]

GnG videos make me feel like I'm working on my own car, or racing my car. It's just a really good feeling watching you guys. I can't thank you enough! Thank you sooooo much for making me so happy!

[@lucasbenton123]

I definitely recommend getting some subiebro bumper plugs for the front end of the car to cover up the license plate holes! Definitely will make it look super clean!

[@areject17]

I love this sti considered buying one all stock but I can’t get over all the little problems people have with them especially with major problems in some cases. Got a 13 si two door. Love it! But I think your Subi is cool!

[@obliviousthunder]

im always impressed with the quality of Gears and Gasoline's videos, cant wait to see more of that STI. good job! :)

[@gcfittt]

Get better soon Ben, whole community is thinking of you. And Asian Ben, Luke and the rest of the team stay strong and what an amazing job still coming out with fire content despite being a man down!

short ben is in the hospital due to covid and pneumonia. its hit him pretty hard and he's in a critical condition

[@savageferria505]

I had a white 17 Sti and a 05 silver forester XT you make me miss both of those cars. The mods on yours cars are always super tasteful and clean . Love it!

[@gnomino]

7:00 Ben I hope you recover soon. ;)

[@pan17awa]

man, nothing better than an OEM+ car. i really love the way how you modify your car especially those small details like sti badges and trunk hook. wish you speedy recovery man!

[@herobrinenuno]

Keep fighting Ben, lets get back to the cars as soon as possible, stay strong!

[@marcomedina5344]

I have a 15 wrx I have had for about 5 1/2 years now as a daily. I love that car and seeing you do all these mods are very similar to what I have already done just makes me appreciate my ride that much more!

[@Heyyo_Friday]

07:03. Boy that has not aged well

[@STImachine]

Thank you so much for getting rid of those wing stabilizers! What an excellent set of modifications you've chosen!

[@itspique]

Get well soon Ben!

[@madbeat5]

Really nice and simple mods to make the car look a little bit better. Bronze wheels on white looks awesome. Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend, hope to see you soon.

[@jank1464]

I'm speaking on everyone's behalf when I say this.... MORE VIDEOS PLEASE! 😁

[@DENDENMUSHIFROMZOU]

Hope you get well soon Ben! What song was at 11:47? That shit hit my soul.

[@dervwfahrer]

I also search for that Track. Cold not find it. Please Tag me if you got it.

[@PoderosoXavao]

My Shazam says its "freewhelling inside tracks" but i cant find this track, if you guys find let me know as well.

[@adamchoi8136]

“It’s a beautiful machine. Somebody put in the wrench time”. Love the car and looks. Didn’t realize oil change and filter was underneath.

[@ninjatacoshark]

Old ejs have the oil filter right between the headers so thats always fun if you were driving it before hand. Also doesn't leave a lot of room to get torque on it with your hand so I usually just mangle it with some channel locks lol

[@andrejcupac7359]

I love how this is a daily, but I can't even afford a single thing on this list for my track car 😅

[@kpokfposkf]

Hopefully, we can see a Honda FIT GK5 series in the future, those are decent platforms to mod with for track.

May I say one slight critique with your awesome content? The music is way louder than the speech. It's kinda tough for people who watch with a sound system from the TV. Get well soon Ben!

[@dmk0210]

Sweet STI. Nice tasteful mods. I'm not usually a fan of white, but on this body style it looks great especially with those wheels. I'm running those same tires on my Wrex. I really love them on the back roads.

[@THEONLYNIKOMATH]

I love my dws 06 tires. Already on the second set and I couldn't be happier living in an area with lots of rain. Never had more confidence in the wet.

Glad you guys liked the wheels. Enjoy them. Speedy recovery man!

[@alessandropru]

This video hit differently knowing Ben is in the hospital. His OCD with OEM+ modifications and goofy demeanor kind of hit me in the feels. Wishing you a full recovery. Hang In there Ben!

[@rickyeligio1674]

Thank you for getting rid of those pieces on the rear wing, hate seeing sti’s with that crap on, wishing you a speedy recovery ben

[@DEADPEDAL]

Rootin' for you, Ben!

[@SandyNickk]

I really like the direction you’ve taken this thing: simple, clean, and QUALITY. Its really, really easy to overdo a VA chassis in todays world, this one is a perfect fun daily driver/street car. The only thing I would have done differently is kept the wing stiffies, but I get that in an OEM+ scenario, maybe they don’t look as good as just a stock wing. Either way, its turning out great!

[@TheBurton147]

Wishing Ben health and a quick recovery. We love you Ben!

[@waderushton9750]

Hi Mate, I just wanted to say this was a really cool, chill, explanatory video that I found REALLY enjoyable. I love your narration, comments and video work. Its really cool and inspires me to do stuff to my MY18 STI! Thank you!

[@felipeszeibl]

Guys you are awesome! Ben please getting well soon, we are praying for you.

[@AwholvNation]

Perfect is a relative term, glad you're enjoying it.

[@haku_3713]

this setup is very clean and crisp and tbh I would want to the exact same, parts and everything. It's nice to drive your car hard but honestly like you said, I'd rather much daily it nice and just vibe everytime I drive. Always dreaming of owning a subi like this i am inspired.

[@idabellucas320]

WOW , brought a big smile to my face after the outcome. Love it

[@baileywilson948]

Gotta say watching these videos made me want a Subaru and now that I have one man there a blast to drive thanks for getting me into these amazing machines

[@vitico160]

Sending prayers Ben’s way! Hopping he get well soon! Keep fighting buddy!!! 💪🏼🙏

[@jaims2785]

Whole reason i got the 2019 sti is the improved strengthened engine, the 2019 sti has the 2018 STI S209 RA parts, so they took the improved parts from the S209 and put them in the normal 2019 sti. But still my plan is to put fortune auto and some reliability mods/cosmetic and fun mods. So glad to see the subaru sti love! Looking great man i would kill for those parts lol, great work

[@VictorSchofield]

You got this Small Ben! We're all waiting for you! ♥
