Slowly turning the Subaru GC8 Impreza into a full on Stage Rally Car Build!

Jesus dude. I didn't realize how much effort it took to make a roll cage!

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Yup, that's why installers charge so much for them . Especially a Rally cage

[@x-man4702]

All of that work in the name of "just in case"

[@hammersport_pro]

not really... There have been two deaths this year with way more if proper cages weren't installed. @@x-man4702

Dude your girl is there chilling in the garage with you while you work on your project.. that’s a keeper!! Now that’s wifey material!!

[@saucywings]

Boi I waited a week to watch the same recap of what I’ve been watching for months. GET THE RALLY FOOTAGE OUT!

[@DirtyGarage]

Lol it'll be out soon, I was working on this video for awhile before the rally though.

[@jaybajan]

This is amazing work. I'm even a bit envious, man I wished I could be as skilled as you to do this. And to even top off the video, you've picked the best car to do it in, long live Subaru!!!!!!!

[@b3astieboi2]

I can't thank you enough for your videos. You are such a highly motivated person and inspire me to make and do things that I don't even know how to begin doing. If you don't mind me asking how much did your build cost? And where did you learn the skills to fabricate?

[@DirtyGarage]

Thanks man it's been a fun build. I had general fabrication skills from growing up working on cars, but a lot of it came from learning from the internet and lots of practicing and of course learning from people I know who actually are really good at it. I've got to add it all up and it will probably be painful haha, when I do though I'll put a video out on it!

[@friedmarsbar_]

Right, I know I’m a bit late n I’m only 15 but to be a rally driver is my dream, been saving since 11 going strong 💪

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Follow your dreams!

[@rookstar3177]

Man we have had some good times the past few months. Amazing work was awesome to watch!!!! Can't wait for that rally footage lol

[@davemanray]

That roll cage is a work of art!!!

[@baggszilla]

Aww the good ol dry ice trick to getting the old sound deadening off the floors live it!

[@johnelway4826]

Building the cage yourself is crazy unless you are already into welding. All the rally guys will tell you to buy a car with a cage and logbook or you'll quickly put 40k into a 4k car. Amazing work though man living the dream while I rallycross a Corolla lol.

[@johnjohnjohnjohn921]

Super cool vid. Love seeing your lady help you out too 💪🏻

[@user-ii4fs7du9p]

Bro, you really have my three dream cars. 240 street daily, 07wrx built weekend driver, and gc8 rally. Exactly what I’ve been longing for 😅

[@Maxdamilli0n]

DUDE. I watched a lot of your videos because I'm doing some very similar Fab work (not for rally, and thank God not an FIA cage). Very informative content, and you're doing a good job. But this video really was spectacular. Loved it. Have fun racing the car, and I hope more people find your channel. I think the only reason you don't have more views/subscribers is because there's a lot of car guys out there but not a lot of them take the plunge to build a real race car. But I've found it really helpful seeing someone else go through the same process of building a cage, methods, design decisions, etc. Rally footage should help views though! Bravo 👏

[@DirtyGarage]

Thanks dude! That was an awesome comment to read. I think you’re right about not many people being too interested in an actual race car being built, especially on a budget since it isn’t very flashy, but I’m super happy it has helped out a few guys with their builds so far!

[@Maxdamilli0n]

@@DirtyGarage well you made a budget build look professional. I had street cars for a long time like your average car guy, until i had my first wheel to wheel racing experience. Then, like you probably did, I had to make the decision to invest my money in what was my real car interest... Actual racing. Like I said, it's hard for your average car guy to relate to a roll cage build with all the specific details. But rallying is hugely popular even if not a lot of people do it. When you get more rally videos up I think people will start to discover and appreciate the channel. Who knows maybe you'll inspire new racers and they'll turn into builders like us! Keep it up!

[@farmerjuan]

After seeing how much work it took for the roll cage I think it might be a wiser choice for me to get a pre built rally car second hand, didn't realize it takes that much work

Bro what a video and congratulations on that car. I've been wanting to get into rally but I have a 99 EM1 Civic which I cannot strip out and turn into a rally car because it's very very cherry. But anyways I'm trying to get into rally so I might have to end up selling this car which I don't want to but just trying to learn how to build a cage right now thanks for the video God bless

Hope the race went well. Do you have video of the log book inspection?

[@DirtyGarage]

I didn't get a chance to film any of it. It was all pretty straightforward though and I would recommend talking to the scrutineer that you plan on having check the car before hand, that way you can send pictures to him and figure out if anything might fail.

KEREN !!! HEBAT!!! Great job man .....

Yup lol, but I suppose that's the same with any car you race or put a lot of work into.

[@mattkrier5856]

[@SAMPLETEXT285]

So are we just not gonna talk about how this man got a piece of metal stuck in his hand...it could of gone a lot worse though

[@adammiller2120]

videos are brilliant, i am not sure what the regulations are where you are from but i have a few questions about the car did u need to get the roll cage certified as it is home built? also watched the on-board from you and your wife and noticed a tablet, what app was that as i'm building a rally car also and don't have tons of money to buy a trip meter and expensive gear, thanks

[@DirtyGarage]

The car had to go through the normal initial scrutineering, which is very in depth and they’ll actually drills some small holes and make sure the material is correct, the geometry is correct on belt placements, and all the other specific rules. Then they’ll stamp the cage with the logbook number and issue the logbook to the car. The app is called rally trip meter, I think it’s like 40 bucks for the full version and definitely worth it. The accuracy is pretty good, but you can improve it quite a bit with a Bluetooth GPS dongle with a better refresh rate of around 10hz, the mileage tends to be off a little on longer stages by around .05-.15 of a mile with the standard 1hz GPS in the tablet.

[@adammiller2120]

Dirty Garage thanks mate 👍

[@joshua-danalvarez3155]

[@tylenzer9258]

What suspension was used?

[@jbevan81]

One thing you did incorrectly. The seats should have not been tied into the body structure, they should have been tied into the cage. When and if shit hits the fan, you want to be in the cage, not the body.

[@jakekim861]

Interesting. He has a 240z, I have a 240z. He has a blue Miata with black rims I have a blue Miata with black rims. He has a silver wrx I have a silver ek hatch getting the same treatment. Hey man when’s your birthday 😂😂

What car?

[@sillydoggaming8055]

What is the cars name and do u think it could be confortable for a 6 foot person

[@DirtyGarage]

I never came up with a name for it and I'm 6 feet and I fit in fine, it helps positioning the seat exactly where it needs to go though.

How much was the car though

[@keeganaldrich404]

This is cool, but kinda feels wrong. Where I live Subaru’s that age are never in that good of condition. It’s just kinda sad to watch a rare old RS coupe get chopped up like that. But, it’s his build so I’m glad he was able to do what he wanted with it.

[@DirtyGarage]

I know it looks clean, but it's actually a salvaged car that was totaled, plus it was from Baltimore so the rust was pretty bad on it and I had to replace almost every piece underneath it with parts from a JDM GC8.

[@keeganaldrich404]

Well that’s pretty dope, and I’m glad your wife enjoyed my other comment about her being a badass on your other video. Keep up the good work, you have excellent content on your channel.

[@kelinjohnson7421]

im having a hard time on where to even begin with a race car build i have two cars 1 its paid off thank god but i have another note on my dodge dart plus 2 kids rent which is $1200 mo anyone have any suggestions other than save up cause that not the issue.

[@logantrenkle1615]

Well I certainly would try to avoid more debt. I think that saving up is the best way to do it. Take your income, and budget some every month towards race car building. It might take a while, but the wait will be worth it. You still have to be able to support your family though. You gotta balance those things. I suppose another option night be to pay off your other car as quickly as possible, making larger than minimum payments. Then, when you have finally paid it off, continue putting that same amount of money per month into your race budget. Just some thoughts.

[@DirtyGarage]

I definitely recommend what Logan said, it's not worth it to build a racecar if it will only make your life more stressful with debt.
