Today we're looking for the 02-07 GD Subaru WRX, be it in bugeye, blobeye, or hawkeye form, come across a bunch of sport wagons, discuss sunroof vs. moonroof, and question Harbor Freight's place in the world in 2023, joined by the Subaru god himself MrSubaru1387.

[@ctrl-alt-bingo]

Sweet, you guys actually looked at cars instead of interviewing him, lol, but fr, it's cool you guys are getting such dope guests

[@believeinmatter]

They did that already, a week ago

[@emmanuelrebolledo7092]

My rule of thumb for not over doing mods is that I should be able to recall the mod and parts and the time I did it or the price I paid for it without looking at a list

[@tylerwood67]

Tried convincing my parents for an 05 WRX wagon, but they weren’t going for it. Ended up with a legacy GT wagon with a 5 speed.

[@damienlee1165]

Arguably more based than the wrx Imo.

[@coreyblitz2000]

Fuck yea dude!! What year legacy?? And don't be mad about it the legacy is sick and has a way better community than the wrx/sti. You got an Instagram for it??

[@TheReaper42069]

Way better than a WRX

[@dannyjacob9617]

Based manual legacy purchase. Treat it well

[@chodiusmaximus4042]

sad news everyone, i am answering on his behalf, his motor blew because they thought it was ok to keep banging off redline like a honda.

[@huntermcentire]

Mr Subaru should be on the show more!

[@natesalaa6810]

Honestly glad you looked at cars with him instead of doing an interview, interviews can be very dull and feel very one sided, but this way you’re actually talking to him and he’s included in the fun too. Cool video, this was awesome

[@adamgroszkiewicz814]

Can't tell you how many times I've heard "yeah an intake really risks destroying XXX Subaru motor"...which to me really means "don't buy this car is was engineered with zero overhead"

[@Nick-ue7iw]

Or "stop playing engineer with your $30k vehicle".

I always thought it was that sunroof is just the one that moves, and moon roof is just basically a car skylight and doesn't move

[@slyck_]

I almost had one of these as my first car solely because need for speed and its got 4 doors.

[@DarkSwordsman]

Sun roofs open, moon roofs don't open, was my understanding. There's a lot of cars that have glass roofs that do not open, despite it technically being the same size as a sun roof.

[@ruthless_auto]

My Cadillac has a moonroof and it opens and is marketed as a moon roof every car I seen with a “moonroof” it’s much larger than a “sunroof” moon roof is over front and back seats sun roof is only over the front seats

[@paulyC]

8:17 "Vacuum Leak". How in the world does he know that just by listening?

[@jooooohn401]

Probably because the idle was chopping like a v8 with a cam lol

[@coonyman10]

Subarus shouldn't idle like that...

[@Chilipotamus]

Found you guys via Cars Against Humanity and have been enjoying all of the content. As someone who grew up listening to Car Talk with Click and Clack, you guys are really scratching that itch for me. Mostly unfiltered banter with some good advice peppered in for good measure. Keep up the good work gents

So true lmao 😂

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

Notice how correct mr Subaru is about the 05 blobeye being the best. Considering he's got the most knowledge by far, it checks out

[@nickgiampa5531]

I used to hate hearing Mr subaru. That was before I actually listened to him outside of instagram or TikTok. Listening to him on here my opinion has changed and will be tuned into him more

[@mini_always_taken]

I love when people say the bug eye doesn’t look terrible. I only know people who say it is the worst.

[@thatloserwhoplays]

Bug eye > bleh (blob) eye

[@zachogdahl210]

On the tool discussion, i always loved proto.

[@nunyabusiness896]

Taiwan stuff is actually good, they’re like Japan Lite. It’s basically all the people that fled China when China became communist and went to sht. Taiwan is good people, don’t feel bad supporting them.

[@803scsubie]

True. I’ve seen it in the knife industry, as well. Spyderco, which is an American company, has a factory in Taichung Taiwan, and some would argue the knives coming from that factory are of better quality and have closer tolerances than the knives leaving the American factory in Golden, Colorado. Both produce exceptionally well made knives, but some do find the Taichung Spydies better… …They also have a factory in China, which to no surprise makes their cheapest knives.

[@charlesleist552]

MrSubaru is 100% right. I'm an industrial mechanic, and I went through 2 Craftsman 3/8" drive, 1 Craftsman 1/4" drive, and a Kobalt 3/8" drive in the span of ~6 months; no breaker bar "extensions." We convinced management to buy us some Snap-On, and they're still perfect 18 months later. Even if the mechanism starts to fail, the rebuild kit is pretty easy to rebuild and maintain. If you're doing serious work, it's so worth it. Buy once, cry once (when reasonable).

[@ak2112]

[@ricosuave3497]

Gearwrench 84 tooth is the strongest 1/2 ratchet Ive had yet Ive beat on it with a 8 lb hammer to loosen shit up for 3 years now and its still holding on fr

[@flynnstone13]

The Fitchburg one made me laugh cause thats where i live and i just saw this on fbmp the other day

[@crazzieboiTM]

just found your channel and these videos have me dying! as a wrx wagon owner it had me laughing even harder. our biggest problem and running joke is that our rear strut towers love to rot away.

[@believeinmatter]

I’ve only known one person that had an Impreza, and he had the engine explode in his driveway in dramatic fashion lol

[@themadmallard]

@18:00 more than Icon for HF is made from Taiwan, and some HF are actually made in US. check the package to be sure.

[@AltBoomer]

I think the main difference between a sun an moon roof is that a moon roof slides between the headliner and the roof of a car. They *can* both be glass but, moonroofs are exclusively glass whereas a sunroof is sometimes metal and only pops up. 5th gen Prelude typically has a sunroof, as an example.

[@CaptainAlex69]

Second time I’m going to be watching this fucking video. Why did it come back up in my recommended and why and I watching the damn thing again??

[@georgeparker555]

I've ran plate in windshield my whole life. I've never been pulled over for it. I was pulled for low tire pressure once

[@ATF-]

He definitely just wanted to pull you over

[@cordellsmith1523]

I like the Hawkeye the most. Some people don’t know this but they where designed with accents to portray Subarus past as nakujima aircraft company and that’s why it has that center grille that looks vaguely like a jet intake.

[@Diggz24]

Is this Mr Subie guy from Virginia? Cuz I'm from a small town about an hour north of VA Beach and every hunter and fisherman I know have that super thick country accent like this guy! 🤣 Damn he's got a thick country accent! 😨

South Carolina! 😂

[@colchronic]

Moonroof is a window on the ceiling that does not open sunroof is a window on the ceiling that does open that is the difference

[@mach1mustangguy992]

I miss my Baja turbo 5mt😢 She’s one of few cars that got away….. damn I hate not having enough space for all my cars….about to have to sell my sts v soon if I can’t find a free/cheap place to keep her at….

[@Infernos94]

For the plate in the windshield thing, in some states its legal to have the plate in the windshield instead of on the front and cops wont pull you over for it.

[@racecarsinc]

To be fair, I've driven a Kia Stinger GT, and it's an awesome car.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Love my gear wrench stuff, ok name makes it looks sus but it's great tools...

[@ruthless_auto]

Difference between sunroof and moonroof I believe is the size

[@wesfathauer5229]

Lmao at 9:15. Dude has insane money in a fully built motor and a junkyard STI turbo/IC good for ~300whp bolted on.

[@kengrantk]

In CO it's legal to run the windshield plate (front plate required by law) as long as your bumper isn't pre-drilled for a plate. But cringe people will run their plate up there with egregious, giant holes in the bumper.

[@greyfox78569]

Best way to buy a WRX. Buy an Impreza so you have shell that was most likely taken care of, and then swap parts from a WRX into that. You have a something better than a WRX when it's done a Subaru with out the WRX baggage but with all the WRX performance.
