“The Refresh” Reunited with BETTY my Vermont SportsCar Rallycross car

It’s been close to 5 months already since being gifted my old rallycross car by Lance Smith at Vermont Sportscar. It’s now time to return and update a few safety features like my Recaro seat, fuel cell and fire system along with adding some upgrades like a built aluminum short block, fly by wire and refreshing a few other bits along the way. Wow somebody pinch me!!!

[@Xeridae]

I like seeing all these cars but that white VB at the start made me smile. Just picked up my VB last Thursday and really loving it so far. World Rally Blue of course. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@waybach]

Exactly I was literally dissecting his car off the rip! just picked up my ceramic white 23 VB too and I had to look up those butterfly hood gurney flaps. I just don’t think I have the balls to cut into my hood but I need those badly.. loving the series white STI look with the bronze wheels

[@TheDadFatha]

Oh BUCK-YEAH! 🔥

[@kjb1336]

[@poppamic]

Always a good day when you drop a new vid 👌 great work buck 👏👏👏❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@nhh993]

I wish VSC would build street car long blocks, that would be cool if I ever have to replace/rebuild this Crawford motor that is in my car since VSC put the car together back in 05.

[@ConnerSpeed6]

Damn, dude. I'm so hyped for you!!! This has always been one of my favorite RallyX cars. She looks beautiful, and sounds like a MONSTER!

[@hernandez0622able]

So stoked to see this car come back. This was a huge inspiration when I got my 1st subaru! Keep up the great work

[@jimmydeanthemeanmachine]

Bucky can I buy your old seat out of Betty? The seat in my SF Forester is shot and she just also happens to be named Betty! So awesome to see her get refreshed. Hopefully we get to see her at Subiefest California! 🤙

[@robschilke]

Yeeew!

[@Christosan88]

SAAA-WHEEAAATTTT

[@ethompson1822]

Been waiting for this one!!!

[@jasonprice1871]

Rad brother rad

[@kc550]

Oh baby! The video I've been waiting for 👏

[@PlaySA]

Okay am I the only one who didn't even know that Bucky Lasek was competing in Rallycross? He should do the standard ARA rallies too imo!

[@buckyeah3382]

I randomly do.

[@kreparAZ]

bucky this was freaking awesome dude! so psyched for you and this car to be reunited again and rippin! so sick. video was a banger for sure dude!!!!! more people need to be watchin this channel!!!!

[@devingillmore8691]

I want that wing sooooo bad >.

[@kc550]

Peak boost is 3.5 bar!?!? 50 psi... 😮

[@SOLOIIguru]

Miss my 08 sti

[@jonsnyder9176]

Yessss👏🤙🔥

[@Davivd2]

Wow that air flow system is massive. Bucky. Now that the water levels are back up in California, have you had the chance to go fishing?

[@aaronredbaron]

Awesome! Hope we get to see you sending it at the PNW rallies, I always try to take my kids out to watch! Is that just a mock up or is it a giant scale RC car behind you @8:32? It must be 1/4 or 1/3 scale, it's huge!

[@Hunyoatnobyembre]

Hi Bucky, thanks for the update. It's as always sweet. Just curious if where will you be competing at?

[@finboyYYC]

i want to see this in gymkhana grid so bad

[@brandonwarren2017]

3.5 BAR?????? Sheeesh thats a ripper

[@DJ_Driven]

Hey Bucky the car is looking absolutely amazing. Curious if you can give out the orange paint manufacturer & 0:40 color code on the wing and wheels?

[@Magura2004]

😊

[@carolynbosley7110]

So what is the next step? Are you racing it somewhere and when. I always thought that car had the best paint! Cool graphics. Well other than Colin McCrae and myself x-games 2008. 😉

[@Barrenchats]

501 and 1 in 5 hit the like button... No one here gets out alive, now... LOL

[@dowroa]

Causually: Yeah, peak boost is 3.5bar. Me converting using WolfRam ALpha: Holy sh*t! 50 PSI on a Subaru EJ!?! Check the wields on the manifold!!1! :)

[@ListenToThrice]

My thoughts exactly. VSC knows what they’re doing, but 50 psi for mid 500 HP seems a bit off.

[@k2zr2]

Change ur smoke alarm battery...

[@km6832]

What size and model precision turbo is that?

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

Anyone have the weight spec of this beast? 3.5 bar is crazy with ALS

[@greghuff5445]

So what are the plans for this car? It was so specialized for GRC, what can it be used for now?

[@slosubies4845]

You bringing that to WBM?

[@jayr_5104]

Would that engine pass emissions?

[@fakealexstrong]

@10:08 just right

[@RumbleGarage]

😅 can I have the old seat for my collection?

[@moto55yz]

Time to invest in some mics 🎤
