Vlog #17 “EV WEST Electric Rally Car?”

[@bawfuls]

Bream and the guys at EV West helped me a TON with my EV swap project, always happy to answer questions and show me examples around the shop. They are the best, and these swaps are just SO MUCH FUN

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

bawfuls Such a great crew!

[@amalgam5107]

That torque! EV Impreza sounds sick! Sounds like a nice addition to the collection.

[@georgef1176]

The EV West m3 is so sick!! Every thing they build is dope

[@VBshredder]

I'm all for the EV impreza, especially working with someone like this trying all sorts of cool stuff out. As an RC enthusiast, it's cool seeing the full scale versions of the tech we've been playing around with and hot rodding with for years gain traction in the automotive world .

[@ConnerSpeed6]

Really enjoyed this one, dude. I honestly love that the future is EV. The cars have so much instant power, that it is almost mind boggling that something with no "Horsepower" can do that. It almost breaks the rules of physics! Very cool episode. Nice work.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

ConnerSpeed6 🤘🏼

[@muigaulwurf]

When i see that interior of that RWB, the first thing that came to mind was "neck snapping EV torque, but no headrests". I really like what they're doing with EV cars, i'm stoked to see when this trickles down more and more into general restomods.

[@brandon1157]

that took him a second to leave the parking lot behind. This guy dont fuck around ahah. I approve of the EV build, I'm still waiting for subaru to make an electric car.

[@grahamdrope3367]

Build the Bucky Brat.... exciting stuff out of EV West

[@jameshine4731]

I used to say that when im forced to drive electric im giving up my licence......but this guy gives me hope they might be cool.

[@marktourtellotte1336]

Very nice video. The options are mindboggling for what to convert. If your impreza has a blown motor it is a no-brainer.

[@miguelolivares3831]

Amazing video buddy yeah make the subaru electric car is going to be amazing I can't wait to see that proyect make come true 🤙👍👏👏

[@vinbags]

So sick Bucky..definitely need to go electric in the rally car...great video as always!!!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Vincent Paterniti Thanks💪🏼🔥

[@TunerThings]

Man that thing was RIPPIN! Love these EV swaps

[@kyleyork4849]

Keep up the great content. Would be awesome to make it EV

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Kyle York Thanks, it’s a solid option!

[@Johnotattoos]

This is by far one of the coolest videos I’ve seen! If it’s good enough for an RWB car I have hopes! Really informative as well!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

John Mendoza Thanks, Bream is the man!

[@Johnotattoos]

@@BuckyLasekOfficial he really is! cant wait to see more! so cool to see you so skate and build subaru's! I'm a 90s kid and grew up watching your generation of pros! also fellow Subaru owner 04 Wrx! Socal Native! much respect and Props!

[@8yn815]

Go for it, no doubt it’s going to be awesome

[@timstringer9259]

Do the EV rally car its perfect, better yet the rallycross. Short format races seem perfect for EVs. Also, I would love to watch your progress on an EV build I have always wanted to get into working on cars, and EVs seem like the perfect thing to learn! Keep it up dude!

[@lordraiden5398]

I seriously thought about doing this to my WRX. Do it! Tesla motors front and rear. That would be insane!

[@georgef1176]

I love the Porsche and VW stuff EV West does cause they can retain the gearbox with the electric motor.

[@disuye]

great video mate - EV is the future, as much as I love gas, electric is where the torque lives :)

[@rtorical4550]

E-preza rally would be a great build! Would enjoy you taking us along for the ride.

[@jt6332]

JUST DO ITTTTT! don't let your dreams be dreams. But for real, it's a great idea and it might just inspire other people to do crazier builds

[@vmfan96]

Yes do it !!! GC8-EV. Would be killer content for the channel. Subaru is going that Route with Toyota.

[@Jeffe46M]

I love the EV swaps. That e36 that he built has me wanting to ev swap my drift e46. Dual electric drive AWD drift Impreza would be sweet, thing would turn some fast donuts in the burnyard :D

[@kelbaez]

Would love to see an EV awd impreza with a manual!

[@brettfreeman5559]

Really enjoyed this video. Really informative. I'd go for it with the rally car be so cool. If so would love to see a build video if you do

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Brett Freeman For sure!

[@CamaroRick]

I love the idea of a fast ev conversion. If the price was right Id swap my car in a heart beat. The high power ones make great sounds

[@KennethStaton]

ev west builds some straight crazy stuff! do an ev baja sleeper/rally support vehicle!

[@angeloah]

This has made me want an ev setup in my civic sedan. Good clean fun here Bucky.

[@mummx4]

YES!! 🖤BEETLE 🐞 that old girl has a whole new lease on life!! And by all means, ABSOLUTLY do EV for your next mod!! That's your new venture capital- get the edge up in the electric rally car world 🌎 🤙👍

[@Jewishcatfish]

Oh hell yeah Bucky build it!! I wish i had the brains and the shop to attempt some sort of EV swap myself... Let me live through you :-)

[@sebastiansam8339]

Pretty cool! I wonder how upset the subi community would be when the rumble is completely gone hahaha I for one would love to see that build.

[@angeloah]

Being out in front and innovating is scary fun stuff. I want in, need fundage first but dude is on to something sweet there. Get in, you’re the right kind of kat for this.

[@StayOnTheGas]

Electric GC would be awesome!! Maybe I might just do one on my channel as well. After you, of course, so I can learn lol

[@fruitbooter79]

Great video bucky!

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

John Paul Dekeyzer Thanks

[@andrechiarelli4704]

Do it man!! Its new, its boundary of motorsport, and it gonna be a lightning off of the line...

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

SkunkWorksGT It will be lightening fast!

[@silverburrito]

I'd so be down for an AWD ev Brat! Who needs exhaust when you can listen to retrowave

[@vegasdriver]

EV build has my interest. I'm curious on the most affordable way to make an uber vehicle all EV but last throughout a full 8-10 hour shift without needing to recharge. Thats one of the reasons I didn't even look to much at getting a tesla for my work. They said the battery would only last 4 hours and then i would have to go sit at the supercharger for however long it took not to mention that if i had low power and wasn't close to a charger but had a passenger I'd be stuck. I like how they kept the transmission too, that seems like it would make the battery last longer since you can use less power cruising in a higher gear.

[@JT-un7dc]

Rad! It would feel strange not hearing that engine revving while racing. Quiet race and rally car's. Progress.

[@TFritz82]

I like the progressiveness, technology and fabrication behind these projects but deep inside, my inner enthusiast cringes a little to see stunning examples of 2002's, 911's and such being surgically altered like that. I suppose if you wanna make the vehicle quicker than stink and use it as a DD in certain areas, this would make sense! Looking forward too see what the future brings for that shop!

[@ernesternest815]

Instant torque is great but I think I would miss the sound. EV subie would be cool though.

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Ernest Ernest The thrill out weighs that, I can guarantee that.

[@mattyee9369]

I used to have a 64 Bug. Makes me sad when classics are Baja'd. I love the classic look. One thing tho I was afraid of was if someone ever hit me in that car, because they weigh nothing and crush like soda can.

[@TheRandallSan]

Smart man!

[@dustinwalruff]

Yes, make it an EV. Forge the way for the rest of us.

[@pyrofpv]

Would love to see you build a GC8E :)

[@biosfearmag]

Would love to convert my MK1 VW GTI someday.

[@ripnsoar]

Dude that would be so sick to see you ev swap your other Impreza!!

[@mathblier]

Yes go EV Buck!!!

[@Guaspicharo]

A manual transmission electric motor swap would be bitchin.

[@TesaMarie]

omg I love this car so much I need one on my channel 😍😭😭

[@gvngoheavy]

150% yes to EVpreza

[@Gully_Albs21]

Nice... Easy swap when ever we have those laws changes hit... i can keep my subí :)

[@NeverLetOff]

Yes! EV WRX!!

[@andybarry498]

I know the future is going that way but, I'm old school & I gotta hear that engine roar...otherwise it's got no soul.

[@KTRM2088]

IMPREZA EV RALLY CAR 🤯.. PLEASE DO IT

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

MKRT88 It would be soooo sick!

[@RodrigoNascimentoMattos]

yes please!! awd 6m dccd ev converted gc would be amazing! i´ve dreamed about that already hahaha but i live in brasil. we dont have eletric cars in the streets yet!

[@DirtDude117]

I still think they should do a Miata conversion kit with about 200whp and 200 miles from Volt Batteries.

[@lom23sc]

I understand the future is electric and it's also instant power and alot of it which is rad but my love for cars came as a kid cuz of the sounds.... that being said how about a hybrid rally car lol

[@AnttiBrax]

Have you searched KZbin for "ev west hoonigan"? :)

[@lthayes1848]

Ev rally build send it!

[@teslafudge1585]

You get the EV36 fixed up yet?

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

Sick

[@Christosan88]

The first EV BUCKEEEEETTT

[@wmartinlsmith]

DO EEEET!

[@thechicken7092]

Do the EV Build!!

[@LCY77]

Electric GC, Hell Yes!

[@aldrin5000]

EV motor would be amazing. If it's not now it'll definitely be later at some point. Electric vehicles are the future it will be hard to avoid.

[@BenzFarm-o9o]

I did not expect that voice...

[@maverick2242]

A completely new build yes, please do not gut the bucket for this though. do it to a later platform, don’t care if it’s a blob, bug or stink eye, just not the bucket or any GC8, gotta save what’s left..

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Maverick224 A save is a save!

[@andrewog300]

Hell yeah EV swap the new Impreza build! 🤘🏽

[@rubenrenilla]

Do Americans not use seatbelts ?

[@hutch3558]

How much does your rsti weigh bucky?

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Tim Hutchison I’ll know soon.

[@James-js6dx]

170 hp for a bug. Low hp..😆 i need 1 for my bug asap.

[@ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣΣΑΚΕΛΛΑΡΙΔΗΣ-λ4χ]

ev are the future

[@KimOve]

I would convert my volvo 240 estate if just could get i road legal here 🙈

[@joshgotter4922]

I think I’m gonna try to E swap my bugeye once I completely destroy the ej20 that’s in it.

[@scottharpel9367]

EV Rally Brat!!!

[@eskamobob8662]

Point the camera at the motors!

[@davidvu7397]

EV build for sure! It really is the future, pave the way!

[@stigmsr1]

What would be sweet is a CRX with an AWD Tesla swap if there's room.

[@juliandejesus9465]

Stig Msr Oh theres room 😬

[@neuralnetdreams-og]

Do it! :)

[@marcossarrabayrouse6722]

few autonomy but great torque at all ranges of revs., not yet to build a competitive rally car

[@chrisgreer212]

I gotta know who is the degenerate that disliked this video.....

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

Chris Greer Right?!

[@FnaAuto]

Rall-E car?

[@BuckyLasekOfficial]

FnA Auto 🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼

[@jakemartin2677]

Ev swap the imp!!

[@inigofilm]

Electric isn´t the future, is a step to the future alternative power source.

[@wrxzboost]

with an electric motor - all those creaks and rattles are amplified x100. EV's are still soul-less cars to me no matter what they look like.

[@automotivejournals5861]

Take away the sound you take away the music.
