[@MyFavoriteHero99]

Jay R your detailing videos are SO satisfying. This video is preventing me from going nuts during this freaking quarantine. Happy to see when one of my favorite car KZbinrs post videos. So clean man 👌.

[@AoiHasukii]

I cleaned my engine bay myself after watching your video I felt confident enough to do it! Thanks a lot :)

[@Wdoogz]

The Bob Ross of WRXs here with that brush

[@exotic938]

Been waiting for this for a minute! So satisfying, thanks for this! 👌🏻👏🏻

[@ajsummers469]

Thanks to you I was able to confidently clean my engine bay lol keep up the great videos!

[@mikef2492]

Been cleaning mine by hand but knowing what you use and using a pressure washer helps a lot Thank you!

[@rhito68]

Great result. Love a clean engine bay

[@Mendozabmx]

I cant wait to start working & get money so i can clean my car like you ! You make me wanna clean my car everyday! I love your videos its a satisfying to watch & relaxing! Everything done right!! Hope to see your car in person one day!

[@allena5702]

SO CLEAN!! Very nice - thanks for the video and tips!

[@Jogans]

YES the best thing ever, I’m so late to this, but I’ve been so demotivated on getting this car!!! Because of work and this whole covid-19 problem.

[@LifeisbetterwithaMalinois]

Thxs man, I live on a farm, my wrx sees a lot of mud and dust 😊 as I fly past trucks on the gravel roads

[@khmerpunk]

Man Im loving these frequent uploads. Keep the good work.

[@michaelnoller8537]

Glad I saw this video. Less intimidating after you blasted the alternator 😂 just found the hyper dressing on sale at autozone. Definitely worth it. Did the sunroof rubber trim with it as well. Thanks man!

[@mybrokengoldwing]

Oh noo. Still dropped something when taking the shroud off! 🤦🏽‍♂️ lol. Thanks for the vid, man! Love it.

[@Jdm2005sti]

Yes !! . Just got my New battery and awaiting new battery tray. Thanks for videos and part feedback battery and tray twins. 🤙🏽

[@Kwonster321]

Yes, great timing. I really need to clean my bay.

[@juniorhernandez5857]

I can appreciate a good detailing 💎

[@ironmandingo1]

your car is a beautiful piece of art

[@mjs_ctr8521]

Great stuff as always Jay R! i always wondered if i should spray simple green all over and just hose it down! especially all those coolant i spilled doing an AOS install! this is a confidence booster! hahaha

[@snewstead1388]

Excellent video. I’m in Canada and I like to use a light degreaser for my engine bay with a higher focus on the radiator/front mount intake area(where most of the toad spray goes). Question, would you consider heavier gauge sway bars and endlinks? I know you have coil overs but I notice most overlook the sway bars. They make a huge difference.

[@D3ltal4mbda22]

Hey I have the same engine and have fried ignition coils with medium pressure water. My builder suggested that you NEVER use high pressure water and to be careful around the coils

[@islanderpride63]

If car shows were focused more on attention to detail than wild kits and bolt ons, you would be top 3 for sure!

[@raceyouhome]

Please send a link to where you got that hydronic lift

[@RyansRandomActs]

Lookin good bud. 💯 makes me wanna do mine now

[@truthseeker7084]

Man you braver than me I can honestly admit I do get skiddish spraying around the electronics, connectors, fuse box, hid ballast, etc. But then again I'm rocking the 02 bugeye and stuff isn't as fresh and sealed as yours but still nonetheless I keep it spotless. Just cover my air filter as well as my electric stuff. But good stuff my dude.

[@paulmarsdensr8199]

Great video 👍 man are you eating lumpia? One of my favorites. Lucky guy. Take care and stay safe. Great attention to detail video.

[@GeraldSimW]

On the market for a pressure washer what's do you use and can you do a review on the modes that you use etc?

[@jacobbalatbat153]

I have a 2018 wrx and my battery doesn’t have the positive cover like the ej motors do. How would I prevent damage to the battery without removing it?

[@thebeaststi4300]

Looking sharp!

[@hiramesensei3112]

thanks for the info on the VIS hood vs the Seibon

[@IlluztriousFlip]

Nice, wish my engine bay was this pristine. =(

[@ChiSpire]

Thanks a lot for the info

[@cliftonsargent1572]

What’s the brand of the cleaner my dude? That’s important, is the alternator and battery supposta get covered?

[@yumee19]

What specs are your nt03s man ☹ looks really really good. I heard most nt03s doesnt clear our brembos

[@eduardosantiago4324]

🙌🏻 finally! Jk thanks for this video 🤙🏻

[@misztal2112]

2:59 was waiting for that ahaha

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

Nice 80s music 😎

[@Cbob222]

Sometimes side pieces get in the way of life 🤣 clever man.

[@MrRyuken22]

Hey whats the weight difference of those wheels compare to stock wheels?

[@waybach]

What’s the purpose of the fender shrouds?

[@kristianbrown358]

Noti squad

[@alex77586]

Jeez, these videos are just so well done. By far best Subaru content out there. I’m loving the longer videos. Would love an asmr exhaust video like your asmr detailing video

[@QuantumMuch]

Yo pro tip from a Subaru owner, I found when I did this process I have to use a air gun to dry because sitting water on the bolts on the bottom of the car wash will start to make a surface rust. When I saw this I wanted to cry haha but it’s just a small thing to address. Just be cautious with sitting water :(

[@Stiwave]

What’s your wheel specs, tires too

[@ronfromportland]

3:04 “sometimes side pieces get in the way of life, so you just gotta get them out the way” 💀

[@rx55ex]

Where are your fog light bezels from please

[@tfrancisdo1]

That extra spray on the alternator 😂

[@CarsWithJR]

😂Yeah, I had to...people freak out when you spray the alternator or battery with water.

[@oppositedirection9935]

My WRX Channel battery ok. But not alternator , starter & electric box (fuse box, ecu or sensor).

[@final3119]

Yo what is that car jack?

[@alexwade8040]

whered you get that pressure washer gun?

[@betorea8902]

What about battery? Anything special to do?

[@arvinculala9924]

What kind of jack are you using?

[@sanluu]

Where you get your pulley cover?

[@cucutzul]

With all the modifications you void the warranty?

[@justWilly6]

I like those tail lights, where can I get em?

[@f_ngan89]

That spring roll tho.

[@woodyscrappyopenings5707]

You saw my comment on subispeed's video and made this video for me lmao

[@JacksonStrain]

Anyone else notice it says engine baby in the thumbnail or just me? Great video though, I recently made this video on my channel for cleaning Evo X engine bays and was basically the same process you used here

[@HJ-sn5gt]

Great video thanks

[@CarsWithJR]

No problem 👍

[@goldenghost7529]

What kind lift is that?

[@GolfCoyote]

You should do a video on how to wash and care for your car care products. Sounds dumb but could be informative for guys looking to take detailing more seriously.

[@garrychickery832]

Great video! What pressure washer so you have? Looking to start a channel about my wrx whenever I’m allowed to leave from this deployment and finally get home. Take care and keep up the great content!

[@CarsWithJR]

I can’t remember the exact model, but it’s a Greenworks model from Lowe’s.

[@jt.8144]

2023. If you have all the confidence to do that on an STI. Then it's all good for the Rest of the Subaru line up of vehicles.

[@markburroughs4955]

That Lumpia you eating in the beginning of video?

[@AlboAl8]

Why no optima batter??

[@Jesssxox]

Great video I’m going to clean my engine bay soon and Do you have a link for under bonnet cover because I cannot find the one because I really want to get ride of the felt because it looks ugly

[@CarsWithJR]

Here's the link to the one I have....visracing.com/i-30498955-carbon-fiber-hood-vs-2-style-for-subaru-wrx-4dr-2015-2020.html

[@Jesssxox]

My WRX Channel thank you 😊

[@coreymahoney4157]

What would you recommend with the aluminum bits that start to show oxidization?

[@alexhasselbring9831]

dremel with a wire wheel

[@sengchang2436]

I was wandering if using a leaf blower to dry engine bay a good idea? I dont like using dressing on my engine bay. Just wanna clean it with some cleaning base solvent then wash it off.

[@CarsWithJR]

It shouldn't be an issue at all.

[@Jay_533]

I want to do this but I’m afraid to hose down the engine bay

[@liveimpossible829]

What's the lift called?

[@chongyang4493]

Very clean engine bay. Sexy car bro keep it up.

[@CT0822]

Just curious, what intake your using? 🤔 I just parked up a 2020 sti. Looking to do a small performance change. Any suggestions before grabbing an intake. I already put my HKS cat back exhaust that I was using on my 17 wrx on.

[@urbanizeddreams]

If you do a intake, you'll need a tune, so your little performance change will be much more costly ^__~ ~ A popular choice is the Cobb Intake since you can use there OTS tune by buying the access-port and flashing to stage 1+....however you will lose your I S S+ throttle response and the pedal will feel more like between I & S. I'd just keep it stock personally since the stock intake is very good. ^__^

[@CT0822]

Urbanized Dreams I have an accessport already. Just don’t know what’s the best intake to use

[@slickrick876]

So everything under the hood can get wet except the filter?

[@cliftonsargent1572]

I was gonna ask that, I keep hearing cover the battery and the alternator but then others don’t?

[@Haylem]

same lol

[@coooolsmurffff]

This may be a dumb question but I can wash my wrx engine bay even with the top mount intercooler? Is the water gonna pool or increases risk of getting in the engine?

[@CarsWithJR]

Yes. Your TMIC gets wet when it rains.

[@Ice_Silver_WRX]

Should you worry about electrical component damage and corrosion from spraying water in the engine bay?

[@boost331]

Everything there is designed to get wet. You would be surprised to see how soaked everything in there gets just from driving in the rain. The wheel wells and underbody are sealed off but plenty of water passes through the radiator. The fan slings it all over.

[@DustinB855]

Nice my engine bay looks like death from having to spray everything to keep rabbits away from destroying my wiring since already had to fix a few wires on the car so just accepted that it will always look like crap until I get garage

[@cameronbeyer7687]

When you say all propose cleaner... green soap work? 😂

[@bankruptsee]

Lol the thumbnail says "How I clean my engine baby"

[@oppositedirection9935]

Secret Label maybe for clickbait 🤣

[@Smeedia]

Don't look in my engine bay.......

[@loxyy1]

lets see it in the next vid :D

[@ceetee69]

You should also do an engine bay cleaning on your sti.

[@christianmariano3278]

are those lumpia you eating?

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

Being clean is a sign of spiritual purity or goodness apparently. So if indeed cleanliness is next to Godliness you are truly in rarified company 😇🤣. Nice tips I will keep them in mind. Heaven knows being ultra clean 🧼 is a "critical" thing now, why not for the engine bay too. A lot of us have the "mandated" spare time now!

[@jdm4087]

Man, I can't wait until I have my own house. Living in an apartment is so limited since you can't really work on your car properly.

[@5UP3RB4GG13]

Kinda new to this channel but uhh.. did you ever show a face reveal? 🤔

[@chico4738]

What power washer are you using? Sounds electric and I need one!

[@CarsWithJR]

Got it on sale at Lowe’s. I can’t remember the exact model though.

[@chico4738]

My WRX Channel no worries! Thanks for the reply, I’m gonna check them out

[@CalHenders0n]

Tasty engine bay

[@walterfalls338]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@illestone6860]

Pass the lumpia my g lol

[@Mr_Ja3]

Did I catch a Lumpia in the intro? Lol

[@kevinbautista7835]

Side peace huh I wonder what you meant by that🤔😂

[@sartajs6405]

Very clean and sexy Subi! Love it. Fellow Washingtonian. :)

[@skunkiiee7333]

this is scary :( how about the electric cables? the battery is not even disconnected :( im scared

[@xsliick]

Why'd you recently take away the ratings (Likes/Dislikes)

[@Castiel_Pr]

👍🏻🔰

[@SpencerHogg]

Engine bay so clean I’ll eat a Canadian poutine right off I t

[@CarsWithJR]

Hope all is well with the new Taco!

[@3twelves]

You keep talking about "agitate, agitate" Wouldn't it be easier if I just called my wife out when it's time for all of that?😆😆😆

[@kansai555]

How often do you clean the engine bay?

[@CarsWithJR]

Not very often. Maybe once or twice a year.

[@equalizer7775]

I thought I had OCD,lol

[@cre8tivegarage157]

My engine bay is filthy 👀

[@polloi84]

Please normalize your audio. I have to turn volume way up to hear you speak and then way down during parts w/ music. Otherwise great videos, I just hate blasting my neighbors with mega loud music when the scene cuts.

[@PoChang67]

Mm jam that lumpia bro

[@CarsWithJR]

😂😂😂Hell yeah bro!

[@silvia12319]

lool washing engine bay with electrical items, face palm
