How Did I Miss This Issue On The STi Project?! Oh Boy! More Damage Found Underneath!

[@toddb930]

Man, you're a wizard of getting everything lined up again.

[@liketolearn141]

I like the quiet work for some reason, it's my favorite part of your videos. Most I've learned from videos come from your work from over all the years

[@spelunkerd]

I'm always amazed at how a guy with your experience and skill set is still rolling around in the gravel, rather than finding a way to build yourself a garage with a lift. Man, you deserve it.

[@wim0104]

he wants a big-ass building, but also: most of us here are rolling around under the car just the same.

[@MrSubaru1387]

As soon as I find that spare $150-200k lol

[@mrphiscal]

⁠@@MrSubaru1387. Quickjack sponsors this guy !!!! (7000tl )

[@CLK156BS]

Lifts cost about 5-7 Gs

[@tyree9055]

Rolling around in the grass is much better. Just make sure that you have something solid underneath the car before lifting it (or it might just sink into the ground)! 🤣👍

[@jmur3040]

Bought a '17 STI in early January. Still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I'm sure I'll need your future videos on this to do maintenance on mine.

[@louisgara8754]

Thanks for another great video. You do a fantastic job of getting the work clearly captured on video. I can't think of any of your videos where I felt like I could not see what you are doing. And you pretty much always say the wrench/socket size and the torque specifications and usually explain the difficulty and nuances of getting something done, like getting that crushed/bent control arm off and getting the new one in. I always look forward to the next MrSubaru1387 video. All that to say these are very useful videos and I learn from each and every one of them.

[@thewiredfox2691]

I am not a trained professional, but recently changed my rear struts. Putting a little upward tension on the inward bolt for removal first, swings the arm downward and lets the other bolts come out easier. Then reverse it to the inward last during install. Use a trans or bottle jack to push the inward back up.

[@jonherdman6282]

Looks like you went with a KoyoRad. Chefs kiss.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Definitely. My first. Highly impressed with the quality of it.

[@jerryq1000]

I thoroughly enjoy watching you make the repairs...you make it look way too easy!

[@MrSubaru1387]

Thanks 👍

[@Oodlenoots]

14:10 As the Germans say, Güdentight

[@NateASE]

It’s going to be sweet when you get r all done! Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@MrSubaru1387]

You and me both!

[@MikeFicsacardi]

So good to see this car come together! Nice job!

[@melissavines4153]

Love watching you work.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Thank you!

[@jamesshirley5875]

The secret to the sway bar end link is take it loose from the sway bar, then when you are installing it you loosely attach it to the new arm and get it all back together before you tighten it

[@BWGPEI]

Makes me downright jealous - but nice work all the same. I do hope you enjoy the test drive.

[@manhoot]

Mr Subaru -san no worries. Sensei Nakajima spirit is with you

[@WholeCosmos]

where is the drive portion? Great job fixing up an STI.

[@jasonleatherwood2172]

This is why i rarely wanna mess with totaled cars its always more than expected

[@SonikJesus]

Replacing the control arm wasn’t bad at all, though.

[@Crazy8ts]

STI's are easy to work on..part of the original Rally Hertiage carried over to the entire 2004 to 2020 US spec STI model line up engineered for relatvely easy parts replacement that needed to be done efficiently learned during rally era racing these cars

[@brokeeastmeet]

So VERY Close!

[@richroj]

nice job again Mr. Subaru 👍

[@CourtesyToot]

Very cool project, would love to see the rear diff and subframe reinforced, and maybe an axle back :) wonder if that diff oil got changed or not. Looking forward to the new wheels and bumpers

[@MrSubaru1387]

SPT exhaust coming soon!

[@craigmoe5300]

Did Subaru change the torque specification for the lug nuts in the last few years? The owner's manual and my copy of the FSM for my '09 STI, calls for 100 N*m of torque on the lug nuts. I believe I heard you say 120 N*m in the video.

[@MrSubaru1387]

I’ve always seen 120NM across the board on Subaru. Not sure.

[@craigmoe5300]

@@MrSubaru1387 yeah I've owned and worked on Subarus (not professionally) since the mid 90's and everything I've read that's been published by SOA has said 100Nm. This includes FSMs going back to the 70's. So when you said 120Nm in the video it got me curious. The only reasons I can think of for an increase in the torque specification, is a chance in stud diameter, or stud material, resulting in a higher proof stress of the stud.

[@michaelbutler9528]

Moving to SC....................

[@HighTunnelsGardeningBioChar]

Looking at 2024 Ascent. Our salesman didn’t mention anything about $1500. USD 30k inspections every 30k. Do you have any videos on what to expect when purchasing new Subaru from dealers?

[@nealgold8442]

Great video and very informative.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pauljennings4248]

Would you be able to assist me in locating information on 1981 Subaru 1.6 DL. Especially Wiring Diagram that maybe like AlData style. I would appreciate any info you can provide. I bought this car new in 1981. Thanks Paul

[@rachelharris5768]

I love to pick your brain a bit. I had to replace all the driver side curtains bags sensors with the help of my uncle and his welder, but now it needs head gaskets. Please help! everyone I call wants to replace the engine all together because they say it’s aluminum and the heads most likely warped. Need someone in Tennessee or a little advise. Maybe I have some for you too who knows.

[@sproutpits]

I guess Newton-meters makes sense if you're making vehicles that operate in environments that aren't consistently 1-g, but it's a little weird for cars, IMO. Yes, a pound is a measurement of weight, not mass, but that isn't all that relevant on the earth's surface lol -- or not enough to matter when it comes to torqueing bolts.

[@rorog6187]

I think the tow truck guy, bent that control arm🤔😬

[@MrSubaru1387]

Could be! 🤔

[@petergarofolo9385]

Excellent video 👍 👍

[@archeo289]

The popup ads that you have to click to disappear, then another comes up are really irritating. It blocks the video.

[@wim0104]

get youtube premium, and live the easy life

[@MrSubaru1387]

KZbin put two back to back?!

[@raymondorama9140]

Mr Subaru your videos are very helpful, i watching all the time, my question is off topic i apologize for that,.. i have a 2012 Subaru Impreza premium ,..I purchased 4 aftermarket rims,..can I still use the air pressure sensors from the original rims on the aftermarket rims,???.. thank you in advance for your help....

[@MrSubaru1387]

Yes

[@RallyBobSTI]

Nice work! I know when I replaced my rear struts on my Forester OEM says the nuts are a one time use only. Will the Locktite hold with that amount of stress? Thanks I love the channel.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Right, as I stated they have a crimp in them and are meant to be used once and discarded, but, loctite should chemically recreate that small locking function of the new fastener.

[@ScottPlude]

headlight leveler. Interesting. I don't think my 18 trek has that.

[@MrSubaru1387]

For the auto leveling LEDs on the STi.

[@timbrown9731]

1:46 oh snap RLCA is toasted…

[@SonikJesus]

Does this require an alignment after replacing it?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Not necessarily, but I want to make sure there’s no other issues.

[@copelandingadventures]

Can you help me. What Aisin timing belt kit do I get for EJ253 2005 outback 2.5 i

[@ToddS50]

do you already have a buyer for this lined up?

[@ecopennylife]

Glad you got it sorted, hopefully no more surprises. Would you need to do the other side for balance or is replacing one side ok?

[@MrSubaru1387]

One side is fine since it was physical damage.

[@cptrfwright]

can someone tell me what is the black cylindrical box to the right of the A/C compressor is? It must be specific to the turbo models, but i have no idea what it could be...

[@MrSubaru1387]

Air pump. For emissions.

[@gsaegerjr]

it looks to me like the control arm was bent buy the tow truck driver. it's doesn't seem to me like it's been that way for a while.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Didn’t think about that… could’ve been.

[@timbrown9731]

1:09 yeah, I can see it through the video you got some crazy toe on the back wonder what happened

[@MrDvirpariente]

Pro❤no lift?

[@briancriggs2199]

Do you work on just your stuff or do you work on other peoples Subarus?

[@MrSubaru1387]

I take customer work, case by case.

[@cliffyb5896]

Maybe tow truck damage?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Possibly

[@wim0104]

have we heard the engine yet?

[@MrSubaru1387]

Not sure. 🤔

[@dave11686]

Uh oh spaghettios
