[@frankdiii1223]

Cleeter brought me over. I was just watching another one of your videos. Great content so far. Subscribed

[@PossessedGaming07]

You wont regret it Frank

[@randybooth9192]

Taylor is probably the most under rated KZbinr out there. He's so humble it's awesome

[@coltonsnodgrass9882]

BRING BACK THE INTRO SCENES!!!

[@backwoodzfoto2154]

Taylor definitely pleases me with every upload! Hope you enjoy!

[@blulian]

Best automotive youtuber

[@lansonbeall2670]

Sandy meowing randomly in the background gets me everytime. lol

[@2CabrasLocas]

Sandy should wear a go pro on her back & start her own channel

[@jameslastname9171]

Mike B. should wear a camera on his back and be a cameraman for Sandy

[@spencerrump248]

just scrolled down to see if somebody said something haha oh sandy

[@Agnostic.JohnOG]

Get an STI brake booster and a brake MC brace. Night and day difference.

[@wheeln24-79]

Hell he should just get a Brembo or willwood if he upgrades it

[@EricTheBuddha]

Smart man^

[@thedrvn]

Came to say the same thing beat me to it. Did it last year and makes a massive difference

[@jeff666p]

Chasebays brake booster delete abs delete

[@Barrenchats]

@@wheeln24-79 Cadillac ATS break kit is bigger then Subaru Brembo's with '04 STI rotors ... and they're Brembo to boot

[@Ieatpeople2]

Taylor's coming for Adam lol, bout to be an AWD Shootout!

[@devinbuchhorn]

Adam's EVO is a WEAPON. This WRX will just be fun.

[@cay378]

As an Owner of 4 Subaru’s. 2 GC Coupes, 1 WRX, and a new STi. That Evo costs 3x less then what it would take Taylor’s car to get to the same level. No competition, but hell is the Subaru fun.

[@fordfella67]

Adam has money and buys what he wants. Taylor builds what he wants and on a much smaller budget

[@darin233]

Cayden March that Evo definitely isn't cheap either. He probably has a few grand just into front and rear tubular subframes lol

[@backwoodzfoto2154]

Taylor still a better driver

[@mikec6919]

I’m so pleased your changing the windshield.. it bugs me every time you go onboard this car 😂 sounds awesome though! Such a modern classic

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

Of all the vehicles Taylor has I’m most jealous of his lift .

[@foamdataservices]

Rusty Shacklfort I want one in my shop too. I have room but $1000+ and need to make mods to my floor 🙁

[@ontopgarage1530]

The story about the rtv and your old job should go down as 1 of the funniest mechanics story ever

[@MrRedstoner]

He had told the story before. It's just as funny the second time lol.

[@Nordspets]

Damn, Ben’s LS Miata is looking fresh ! Btw, i love this build and what you’ve done to her! Had a 04 WRX a few years back and boy do i miss it, especially in the winters! Keep rippin Taylor, can’t wait to see her on the track!

[@Hondmad]

Christoffer Nordspets love you man you are mine and mine only ride me now Thanks

[@02honeydew]

Definitely a tasty miata

[@MrRedstoner]

@@Filip5652 The shop is Ben's AFAIK, he parts out Miatas and sells the parts, also has a red beater drift Miata and is building a blue LS Miata for drifting.

[@aaronstewart7126]

Ben's car is looking good in the background can't wait to see both of y'all drifting the ls miata's together

[@wheeln24-79]

Me too! As stoked as I am about Taylor's engine upgrade I kinda wish he'd leave the motor that's in it for awhile so they had the same power. Either way gonna be sick to see them both ripping!

[@whatthe363]

How can I say this.. I watch almost every automotive youtuber. Everyones personalities and content varies. But there is something about Taylors that I love the most. Hes so smart. Hes goofy. Fun. Understanding. The builds hes making. The time he takes to film. Idk def my fav.

[@SirVic42]

14:35 Sandy is telling you to keep trying!

[@Dabagel100]

Perfect timing, just got finished with the Freedom Factory vid. 8)

[@underdogrips4827]

I just admire your patience with all the obstacles that you encounter when rebuilding stuff and your abilities to get through them. Keep up the good work!

[@connerdavis5181]

I honestly can’t think of another channel that is as in depth as Taylor ray is. Love the videos! Super entertaining! Been watching you and Adam back when you both used to bmx!

[@painedinks]

Believe it or not I found your channel by accident when you got asphalt scammed, and omg have I been loving it ever since!! Who'd ever find a sweet car guys channel by running across it totally by accident when checking out scammer videos! You kick a$$ on these cars and the dedication with heart and soul is awesome!

[@osiangwyn1669]

Ben’s mata looks so sick in the background

[@Supradrew]

I just installed new high end speakers and sub woofer on my pc and this was the first video I watched with them. OMFG Taylor! The new header and exhaust sound is incredible. Wow. Home-Freakin’-Run!

[@onefastslimjim]

That tech story was great! 🤣

[@802Garage]

Gotta tell it like it is!

[@jesse096]

Muffler is off the hanger, surprised no one has commented it yet Sounds better than I was imagining, I approve. I was also one of the ones yelling at you about switching to an equal length header LOL

[@OwenBuckingham11]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how awesome Ben's Miata is looking! 👌

[@nathanwilliam1922]

The front brakes are so awesome. Love the content on the Subaru

[@r33gts2009]

Nice ,anti lag and flat foot shifting will put more smiles on your face.

[@Korruptionen]

I have had mud flaps sitting from a previous car and you've inspired me to install them on my S60R. Thanks sir!

[@RumbleGarage]

Yes yes yes! "Real" performance mods! Love equal length upgrades!!! 🤘😎

[@JT-th5lp]

Sandy telling you make it fit was the best. Love the random meows

[@richardbostick8675]

Ben's LS MIATA looks so good Adam painted it so nice

[@Scott-Tim]

Dang!!! Had to pause and say how sick Bens car is looking!!!! HELL YEAH DUDE

[@StrykerWolf92]

That shop foreman story was hilarious

[@Ram50]

Never been into drifting, but I have seen every video since your first visit on Cleetus' channel. You do a great job on your videos!!!

[@jonathansmith5511]

Cletus bragged on ya as a driver but, your a helluva mechanic. Great videos.

[@dangdoan3869]

Amazing work Taylor, you should take it out and race with Adam’s Evo!!

[@haydenrobins6704]

5:25 Ben's Miata looking nice

[@SirBills]

I'm ready for some merch Taylor. I need some updated t-shirts for the rx7 miata and fummins. Heck maybe the go-kart too.

[@ronmiller1162]

bro that car looks so freakin good sitting there all washed up ready to run, she has come a long way

[@chrissyaerts9821]

Sandy yelling at you is the best part of the video

[@DreamWrench]

That RTV story is hilarious

[@_max1mus]

subaru upload on my birthday, what a nice way to end the day!

[@Kweeftard]

I'm not gonna go running to the store to throw mud flaps on my bug eye, but it looks damn good on your car. At times on film the color match was very close, and the people behind you will thank you for not spraying them with rocks.

[@So0nerMag1c]

Khafen To me it’s less about them being for “mud” and more for keeping the car cleaner between washes. It makes a good difference

[@mpgcamo]

Nice one Taylor, love your excitement. The headers definitely make the rexies sound way better and the mud flaps are killer :)

[@chakadog100]

I never thought i would like red on a car but this car someone pulls it off very well!

[@ShortTermObsessions]

I never had luck with solid up pipes. They always seemed to crack. Love this build. Miss my WRX

[@devinbuchhorn]

11:14 THIS is the most important thing to do when applying RTV.

[@Quadro09]

No shop does that. Just torque to spec and it will be fine.

[@RearEngineShop]

I like the mud flaps! 👍

[@timjohnson6092]

Headed to Deals Gap to ride the Tail of the Dragon on 2 wheels next week. The Subaru is gonna be a blast when you get to take it up there.

[@thepseudomasterchef7238]

Equal length is the way to go...My mishimoto TMIC works excellent...Temps drastically down and no noticeable pressure loss...So many people bash the brand but I've had no issues..But I know the feeling of having to mess up a brand new part for fitment..My brand new exhaust was too close to the cross member so I had to torch it and put a dimple in it...Put a Fumoto drain valve in...makes life easier, but you have a lift so...lol..

[@fl4tgarage]

Gotta love killer Bee! I have their custom front mount turbo kit on my bugeye which has a Holy header and puts the turbo near the foglights in front. Highly recommend going front mount turbo, easier turbo change outs, crazy fast spool, and keeps heat down low.

[@thodore1]

Looove that sound in the higher revs !... Can't wait for more videos with this car

[@FastbackN]

Came to your channel trough adam. Love to have found your content, enjoying your vids way more. Keep things up

[@r7kelley553]

Sounds so sick when it opens up! I love it

[@Khorsathedark]

This has been an awesome build Taylor.

[@mcbridemotorsports5788]

Taking off to the store with the blown expansion tank sounds like something I would do...lol

[@wheeln24-79]

Hell I would've put some gorilla tape on it and said shibby until I had time to fix it

[@Gelenvader3]

Killer B headers are the best. They sound amazing! Equal length with a rumble

[@rileymannion5301]

I like your subaru because unlike alot of other youtubers with Subarus you are actually putting the supporting components on it, I see people making 750hp with the stock rad then they wonder why they blew a head gasket or something, I have an 02 wrx and my first mod was the mishimoto radiator to keep my engine nice and happy, next thing imma do is the oil cooler so shes just chillin, I'm stock horsepower but I know that wont be the case for very long so I'd rather buy all the supporting mods first so my built motor is happy from day 1

[@bizzybcarm.d.7828]

Now it sounds like proper rally car! Good on ya taylor👌

[@jok3yjesu339]

Honestly I dig the different red on the mud flaps

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Sandy offering advice in the background 🤣🤣

[@onyabloke]

14:36

[@joelramos9967]

Im so diggingg the mudflaps. But i admit, black with small red decal would look so much better

[@paulnolan7509]

Speaking from experience, that o2 sensor lead is going to melt. Get it covered with some heat protective wrap. Also, you're headers should be wrapped if they arent ceramic coated man, you are giving up ~500rpm of spool (and drastically heating your engine bay) without it. Those headers glow under load. Looking good!

[@snape1464]

The colour is soo good, get's me every time

[@old_con]

Always enjoy any video you do as the content is informative and educational. More of the same please. 👍🏽😎

[@xxEATmyDUBxx]

I'm digging the mud flaps it looks rally

[@WyattFunk96]

Also, those headers dude!!! 😍😍😍 so stoked to see them go on here

[@Taylordrifts]

You and me both!

[@anomamos9095]

You might be able to reset the motor mounts a bit. Or put a jack between the cross member and the radiator support and push it forward a bit.

[@melwinwilliam94]

I miss the old school intro with that Ryan Little Libertad beat tho!!🔥🔥🔥

[@lobuk516]

Good old rally armor flaps. The original owner of the company had a blue wrx swapped GC back in the day. Used to get his car worked on at the shop I worked at 🤙🏾

[@heidirosenz]

Sounds incredible! Just rowdy enough.

[@mcleodautomation]

I did black flaps with red writing on my red WRX and it looks good!!

[@Eg2oreg6watuwan]

lol " bad news bears" shit made me laugh good shit bud

[@socalkid74able]

cute tip about rtv put on oil pan. let dry then bolt it on

[@SkymanAK47]

427k subs brother! What an American number!

[@ThatHoodlum19]

Prob easily my favourite sounding boxer on YT, sounds so cream at full boost. Still got that boxer sound but with a responsive bark. Nice one mate!

[@nashwillenbrock6953]

As a dedicated subaru owner, the last thing I expected to be the final touches, equal length headers. MY RUMBLE IS GONE

[@noahmasse3090]

Pumped you love the killer bs man!!!! You'll notice much more top end in addition to the mid range. Love the sound as well. You still have some rumble on the low end and she freaking screams!

[@Chris_ST0224]

Taylor Ray Standard - SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.. Every car he owns/buys. It's the golden standard.

[@thomassmith8954]

Bro i cant wait for your next drifting video you can freaking drive and also bens new miata looking way to good to drift keep up the great work

[@RosaPerccs]

man i was so hyped to see you drive the miata around

[@cheesepizza87]

So glad you made it work ;) Hated seeing you not use parts

[@AbominableJoshie]

I spy Fummins AC parts on the workbench! Ruh roh!

[@burrowssj]

Nice work! Car looks great. Got some tips for ya. Upgrade to allow arms, get some good bushes to go with. Get a K-brace. That'll make it real go-kart like, almost twitchy in the steering sorta thing, I was also running the "rex on rails" wheel alignment specs which I highly recommend you read over and consider. As for the engine stuff, 300-350 kw atw is the sweet spot for these cars, you can get a bolt on setup that will do it but these seem to be very hit or miss in regards to turbo quality, or the EFR borgwarner turbos are probably the best I have personally seen. Stay away from the cheap ebay stuff, low down spool is what makes these cars fierce. p.s get a new windscreen already haha

[@jameslastname9171]

Sounds so much better! I think I can see how it just takes off quicker when you get on it! Was going to say you might want a longer resonator on there, but it’s probably just extra fuel sputter from being so rich. Looking forward to hearing this exhaust after a new tune!!!

[@andrewjenkins9795]

Car is sounding great. Another great video.

[@MrNicoe36cabrio]

Very nice upgrades. Stay safe, Nico

[@DeftIyRL]

the subaru is so coooooool. been low key wanting a 2.5rs for so long. Selling my 04 sti currently and whenever I decide to get back into a subaru im going to try to build a 2.5rs like yours taylor.

[@Taylordrifts]

I really love this little car man. They’re so solid. Old and small enough to have character but still plenty comfy.

[@xXxmasenxXx]

Hey man. Cleetus sent me over here. damn you can drive. Big thumbs up from sweden

[@CraaaigV302]

I would most definitely heat wrap the part of the header thats tight to the rad and put some gold Di heat tape on the rad itself to try to prevent it from heating up the radiator

[@bigfootgarage2201]

Sounds sooooo much better with the equal length header

[@nfs321983]

5:55 i was dying lol!

[@jakeeclouse4799]

I love your subie bro!! It's so friken dope. Happy and sad about the new headers though. Happy that it's better for torque and sad because it makes it sound like a Honda. I've always wanted to do a legacy with an sti engine swap. Like a '98 legacy. Maybe someday. Good thing you remembered that the expansion tank was blown up. That would have sucked down the road. Can't wait to see the new engine in. You are an inspiration brotha.

[@brianwidmer7493]

So glad you got with Killer B as they make top notch products! Think I messaged you a 100 times about getting a pickup and baffle when you first got the car at a minimum! If you are serious in tracking the next company you should look at or turn too is TurnIn Concepts! They are big in Time trial and roadracing!

[@ashleycross2664]

Reminds of the prodrive s4 wrc impreza now, sounds awesome dude!

[@thomascampbell6517]

Always love the content. Would love to be able to have some Taylor ray merchandise.

[@samshirley1962]

this is by far one of my favorite Subaru builds i've seen

Much love from Holland 🇳🇱

[@Kuhrmys]

bens miata looks cool :)

[@realskater31]

I love the work and dedication 👏

[@ZeD69420]

Yeah the red mud flaps look good.

[@zama1234567891]

ill give it to you the mud flaps do look pretty dope

[@Vision33r]

I've had a 2.5RS with a JDM WRX 2.0 engine swap with a JDM Type RA tranny. I dusted a regular 15' STI like nothing. The only thing bad about cars of this era is the chassis really need serious welding, beefing up rigidity. They really flex way too much on heavy cornering even with strut brace bars front and back. I'm sure the JDM bodies are much stiffer but the USDM ones were just too soft.

[@So0nerMag1c]

Pull the engine to do the pan lol, flip it upside down and no oil dripping down issues. EJ’s are stupid easy to pull

[@couldcareless7928]

much love from Australia

[@ryanhill1176]
