Honestly watching this build come together has been my favorite “series” on your channel. It gives me a bunch of ideas I can do to my hatch and honestly. I love it. I love it all! Watching you build your hatch has given me inspiration to try new things with my own WRX hatch and dive into things I wouldn’t have attempted before. Now seeing as you’ve done “X,Y, or Z” with your hatch really makes me feel more confident to continue to build mine for the future. Love the content as always and thanks for putting your heart and soul into these builds it’s what makes them so worth it in the end :)

[@rishipopuri6261]

It makes me happy to know that this man will one day have millions of subscribers and i was there to witness it. Here is a poem I titled the Ballad of Smeedia: In the world of KZbin, a name we know Smeedia, the KZbinr, with a passion to show His love for Subarus, he decided to fix No knowledge to start, just determination and tricks He started from scratch, with no skills to call But with each fix, he learned, and he stood tall His dream was to build the fastest Subaru With an EG33 swapped engine, it would surely do He poured his heart and soul into the build Every part, every hole, carefully filled The engine roared to life, a symphony to hear The fastest Subaru, the vision was near On the track it flew, like a bolt of lightning Every turn, every twist, Tanner's hard work was shining He shares his journey, with the world to see From a novice to an expert, that's who he'll be So let's raise a glass, to Smeedia the star With a Subaru passion, that's taken him far His dreams and hard work, an inspiration to all On the road to success, he'll never fall.

Love to see the build and to see you so excited about how great the WRX has become :) C Log looks like it doesn't have enough contrast, everything has a photographic cast which could be neat stylistically, but channel-wise, I prefer look of the time lapses in this vid.

[@Smeedia]

C LOG Will not be making a comeback 😅🤝

[@mattmc0717]

"If I could change anything I would want the tires to be out more, like more flusher with the front fenders and rear fenders. But thatd be with coilovers and not air ride", still gorgeous as all heck tho man. I love ur energy and positivity, been following u for years on all ur socials! ur a dope person just know that homie

[@Smeedia]

Thank you Matt 🥳 I've debated swapping back to coils but after getting the air ride dialed in a but I've been suuuper happy with it 🔥

In all the cars along the way from all the years back of me asking you for a tuner recommend local to us here in Washington and back then not being Josh. To following you along the way and my build taking longer than I wanted with real life happening. I couldn’t be happier to watch you be this proud and happy with one of your builds. Congrats, thank you, and all the respect in the world for your hard work. Can’t wait for what’s in the future. The best is yet to come. Let’s go!

Alqays appreciate the support and the kind words Kevin 🥳❤️

[@Paddy_Badger]

Answers to your questions. Wheels are A1, negative on the color grading, the paint is my only thing I'd change on the Rex. I can see the genuine pleasure on your face talking about the Rex. So good to see. 😎😎😎

[@Smeedia]

Going back tk the normal color for videos 😅🔥

[@crysisgaming2695]

The fact that I keep seeing this car on his insta and hearing him say: “this is what I wanted since I was younger” is exactly how I feel with mine too right now.

[@jptothetree]

There's something so special about white wheels ( _especially TE37's_ ) on ISM. I'm currently running bronze, but you've definitely inspired me to go white on my next set of aftermarket wheels on my ISM 2020 WRX. I absolutely love the build, my man. Fucking congrats!!! Since you asked, I'm personally not a fan of the C Log look, but that's just me!

[@Smeedia]

No more C log 🤝😅 figured I'd at least give it a try once 😅🫡

[@strongislandautoenthusiast841]

The white wheels are dope and match almost anything.

[@DJ_Driven]

Congrats on those Badass volks!!! I guess the wheels and color. Seriously, I think you did everything absolutely perfect on this build. I really wouldn't change anything.

[@Smeedia]

Thanks buddy! Came out exactly how I invisioned it 😍

[@thisjustanother]

Having to have my car in storage for near 3 years, your videos are excited to get back to my 2016 wrx 9ne day and get a new engine built into it. Keep up the great work

[@jacobmcfarland3117]

The WRX is an absolute beast! Im so glad you really dig it, cause it literally is the perfect car man. On a side note, Id leave the color correction off, Ive always appreciated how crisp your vids are and I think it takes away from that. Keep killin it man!

[@Smeedia]

C log will not be making a return 😅🔥 figured I'd at least give it a try lol

[@kaercc5923]

I love how your emotion translates 100% through video! When you said TE37 I could feel that excitement and passion.

[@roddyhaley3005]

Just copped a set of dark bronze rays too, literally can't be beat. They're so perfect

[@dalereed6985]

I love the WRX Hatch . It is by far my favorite car you have done so far . There is only one thing I would change and that’s the suspension . With the hp it has 730 and I know it’s not at that all time . I would get rid of the bags even you said it was a bit sketchy under power. Like you said the Hatch is PERFECT great job Tanner

Wow, what great transformation on the WRX man. Silver sounds and looks awesome 👌

[@Smeedia]

Thank you Paul 🥳

[@ivtec4fun55]

One of the first nice days here in good ol Warshinton this year! Cheers, she looks awesome. Wheels are THE toughest thing to choose on a car for me. RPF1's were my favorite on the Integra. TE37's also very much in my Top 3 as well (for big boy wheels). I'm on the replica train nowadays.

[@Smeedia]

RPF1s are a go to for affordablability, durability and looks. Can't go wrong with them 🔥

[@Carlos.Rivera]

For me is not worth $2k wheels where it will get scuffed, scratch and even bend

Love the car! As a pro photographer and video guy I like your grade work. Time-lapses are a bit more contrasty but I prefer the unsaturated look. Maybe clipping highlights a bit at 15:05 on your hand? Top drawer man!

Thank you Jack! Ans nothing wrong with taking time 🙏 never a rush to build anything. We have all been there 🫡

[@nicky8866]

i agree with the fenderist kit. one thing id change is the headlights, they look like the right colour film , but they're a bit hazy. needs to look brand new. like full transparent , but still the same tint. nice and shiny

[@paulvina1974]

The picture quality is SIGNIFICANTLY better with C LOG off. With the filter on it mutes all the color and kills some detail. The TEs look SICK! I've been wanting to pick up a set for my GTI for a while and it might be time to pull the trigger

Congrats on the TE's! You never forget your first set. It sounds weird as hell, but it's true. Worth it.

I think to be the perfect WRX, an actual authentic Varis rear spoiler. A Varis runduce front bumper would really go with the wing. I'm not a fan of black wrapped mirrors and roof, I'd find a set of Ganador mirrors for it.

I like the way the WRX turned out. A nice clean build. The only change I'd make is remove all aftermarket branding in the engine bay. The WRX is a keeper.

Sick WRX!!! I wouldn’t do bags, personal preference but I don’t see the benefit in them vs coils. But you’ve got a killer hatch there. Good job! As for video quality, I think with that color grade it looked a little dull. Not that I know anything about videography, and really didn’t notice until you said something, but just didn’t look as crisp as the time lapses or other videos. Regardless, you keep on putting out content the way you want and I’ll keep on enjoying the footage of sweet subies. 🤘🏻

the old color filter made stuff a bit more crisp, the new one is good for montages and what not but for regular video i think the old one conveys more detail are you going to be wrapping the wrx again? if so a metallic orange or red could be sweet i think but i suppose that depends on how much of a hot boy look you are going for. keep up the great work Tanner

[@da9pauly]

I love the WRX if it was my car I’d have coil overs, blue vinyl wrap and white rims would drive me crazy to try and keep clean so the rims would be bronze or gunship gray with a polished lip.

Which airbag system do you recommend? Also, where'd you get the screw on coil funnel? When you buy an Exedy clutch, you need to buy a new throwout/pilot bearing. It doesn't come with one like the ACT clutches do. I recommend more saturation on the color grade. It's still pretty flat.
