Subaru 22B Build; The Build Begins.

[@john-danielmartin8753]

I petition that when the 22B is done it should meet Devin's yellow evo and Bader's unicorn hawkeye

[@Smeedia]

I’m totally down for that 😅

[@john-danielmartin8753]

@Smeedia the G.O.A.T has spoken and it shall happen

[@shiloh5199]

The plugs holes in the floorboards are for manufacturing purposes. The robotics use them to move she'll around while doing spot welding I believe.

[@Smeedia]

I’m assuming they’re locating holes then?

[@RicardoVargas-me2nj]

Just got done seeing . Ur videos in how to build your Subaru ej2.5 a man awesome . I am thing of building my wrx 07 . An ur video will be a way to make sure I am doing the build, right .

[@Smeedia]

Glad to hear that it’ll be put to good use 🥳

[@liamc666]

22B is looking beautiful 👍 my good friend got me into scooby’s he had a gc8 type RA v limited. I’ve got a 2001 fozzy it’s in my pic . Subaru life

The fizzy looks great! What’s the game plan for it? 🥳

"he had a gc8 type RA v limited" Those are exceedingly rare vehicles. Only ones to come with both a DCCD and a helical front diff (TY754VB1EA)

[@liamc666]

@@occamsrazor1285 yeah always remember him hitting the switch Down at the handbrake the thing was savage, aluminium body panels bonnet as light as a feather 🪶 , years later he had a WR1 as well.

[@PseudoKirby]

yes, you will have to take that throttle pedal and plate back out later when you choose the 207 over a 257

[@Smeedia]

Even if I used a 207 I’d still do DBW 😅

[@BoostedAutoSpecs]

Been trying to look for those replacement brake line clips

[@Smeedia]

Junkyards seem to be best bet bi don’t think you can still get em new 😢

JOE MY MAN!!!

[@Kromatikeys]

The 22b is my dream car, seeing your videos has inspired me to do this when I retire.

[@Smeedia]

Yessss, definitely a good platform to build. The replica cars can turn out so nice 🎉

[@bnmperformancefab]

Hmmm maybe a rotated setup?

[@Smeedia]

You already know we going rotated 👀 going to add fresh air anti lag to this one 😈

[@savage5466]

On the clear coat looks like you have a lot of dry spray spots. And it looks very orange peely in other areas Make sure your flow is 3/4- full open. And try to add a bit more pressure. I usually spray at 27-30psi and the spray pattern should be around 6-8 inches. Edit: Also don’t spray the clear coat like paint you don’t want to “mist” it on. Try and keep it consistent distance away from the panels. (I know that’s hard in the shell with all the weird angles)

[@Smeedia]

I’ll try on a couple test panels, the videos I’ve watched tell me to spray it wet. Painting seems to be all over for what is suggested 😅

[@THEJADAN200]

Got my pen and paper out to take notes with these video. Trying to do the same with an Impreza coupe (but on a poor mans budget lol).

[@Smeedia]

Nothing wrong with that 💪 I’ll cover as much detail as I can 🫡

[@My.Lame.Perspective]

I just put kilmat in my FXT project, great stuff! Keep up the good work, I'm really enjoying this build series!

[@Smeedia]

Been liking the kill mat on the RX7, for the price that stuff is totally worth it!

[@throttlehappy4471]

Great Project and looking clean a lot of great work already done it’s going to be killer

Hyped with how it’s coming out so far! Should be jumping back on it tomorrow 🥳

Aside from the exterior it looks brand new again 😅

[@waykool698]

Didn’t think the VB series could top anything for me, but this 22B is my new fav series of yours. 👍

This thing is going to become my Mona Lisa 🤌

[@Christosan88]

Napa sells alumabright, I used on my trans and engine to get the bright new look, it etches so dont let it sit and dilute it

[@Smeedia]

I’ve tried it before, I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. It does work well though 🔥

[@scottphillips364]

Woo! Frothing! Looking good! I’m fine with that color. Yes to Killmat!

[@Smeedia]

The killmatt works pretty well, the FD doesn’t rattle at all 🔥

Thank you thank you 🙏🙏

Excited to see the final result with this one 😍

[@MistuhDabolina]

It looks like there’s another bolt hole at the top of the pedal adapter that didn’t get a bolt

[@Smeedia]

That’s for another generation pedal, going to repurpose it as another support though

[@andrewrowley6253]

And just like that the building starts. I can’t wait to see how this comes together.

[@jeff666p]

If you can build a dolly bring it outside when sunny will help the paint cure alot faster. I used the eastwood 2k clear spray can when I did my jdm fuel door on my gc I had it in doors off the car for a month and the paint was still soft. I put it outside in the sun for 8 hrs and the paint was finally rock hard

[@Smeedia]

I’ve had the heaters ripping in there, once I get it to a rolling shell it will go sit in the sun for a bit 😅

[@mastrblastr100]

Looking great. Excited to see the finished product. 😊

[@Smeedia]

This one I want to be the best overall build to date 🤌

Coming straight from hagerty and larry chen's restored r34 to your restoration and build of 2.5rs lol

I was watching some of those R34 videos the other day. 🤌

[@tech-garage1527]

The depo lights suck compared to stock, both the reflectors got burnt on my depo set but the two stock sets i have look pristine. Hopefully they work out better for you!

[@Smeedia]

I’ll have to keep an eye on em over time, if I gotta source an OE set later on we can 😅

Nice to see things coming back on! It’s all downhill from here. 👍🏻👍🏻

Smooth sailing from here 🥳

[@stevemartegani]

I've wired wheeled a trans before to make it pretty... Never again :x I would have done the headlights last. Too easy to damage them while in the engine bay. I sometimes take them off while working on the engine since its just 4 quick bolts.

[@Smeedia]

They’re easy enough to pop back out if needed. Trying to get back some shelf space 😅

Car is looking beautiful. I just picked up a 97 Impreza sport wagon and I'm looking for any recommendations for Taillights either just smoked or spec d style. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions?

[@Smeedia]

I’d say snag a set of OEM JDM tails if you can find em! They look so good 🔥

[@tabordagg]

Really glad to see parts going on cause I know this will be a sick build! Just wish there were units with lifts near me😢

I can’t wait until we actually get some of the good parts to start swinging in 🔥 these shops really are unique. I haven’t seen anywhere else like them

World Rally Blue is my favorite color Great build

[@Smeedia]

Thank you! And the WRB always looks so good when freshly painted and cleaned up 😍

[@ineedanasprin3172]

Hear me out, I know that it is redundant to boost the 2.5l h4 but we need someone to do the build and you're one of the most knowledgeable subaru mechanics around, I want a unique build and I need the know how its so scuffed.

Thanks dooode, coming along 🎉

Call me crazy but coating the gas tank in black would just cook the fuel more right?

Not at all, it comes from the factory covered in rubber undercoat

Hey I wanted to know does the sound deadening also help reduce heat coming into the car?
