Motive Garage - MY00 GC8 WRX
Time to get cheap and cheerful with our latest project car in Motive Garage. We buy a $2000 GC8 WRX to use as a cheap fun track car and we show you how to get your car track ready for cheap.
*****Please note all internet harness experts - it has been installed in accordance with Australian Motorsport Regulations. We did not take into consideration any other countries rules and regulations. We have also seen all the various arguments and discussions regrinding the use of 4-point harnesses. This car does not have a roll cage or harness bar, both of which are not road legal here, so this is the only option for us if we want to use a HANS device.

I love when you do this style of video, awesome job! I just purchased a my98 wrx last year which I've turned into a little bit of a track car. I've ended up spending nearly 10 grand as some things needed repairing. but I've done clutch, brakes, coilovers with corner weight-(made the biggest difference), ad08r tyres and radiator Upgrade(stock one cracked) next I want to tune it not necessarily for power but for reliability, then I'll properly convert it to rwd(rwd spool,upgrade shafts and put in r180 lsd

Great video... don't know any of the brands of lubs used! Probably well know in AUS. I really like Motul Gear 300 for diff and gearbox, and liquimoly 10w60 for the engine. A MUST do upgrade on a Gc8 is the lower h brace. Any on the others braces don't really do much, but the H braces, is night to day! Have to mention... Ohlins for 600$! wow!

I was under the impression that tyres where a better upgrade than suspension. I think they proved that on Mighty car mods with two brand new gt86's. One with aftermarket suspension and one with high grip tyres. The tyre upgrade was the faster laptime by a decent amount.

Go back to the three point seat belt or get anti-submarining straps, 4 point harnesses are dangerous.

@ZheikoNileth 6 лет назад

Love this video, just one question though, Using 4 point harness without cage - isnt that potentially even more dangerous than having simple 3 point seatbelt? I have been discouraged against it when I wanted to put 4point harness on my WRX because some say, if you roll over, the harness holds you so tight it might brake your neck if rolling over?

@user-kq3si4sc7q 8 лет назад

i want add to list that weight is good and cheap area to improve lap times. I was able to shave off about 80 killo (easy) and -20kg more from forged rims and light battery comparing to my stock weight (light battery,rear seats, bumper bar ballast, spare tire, floor mats, Forged rims)

His budget is low so hopefully this series gives him the nudge he needs to have some fun on the track. I personally use HC800 pads as well, amazing!

@Nordlicht05 8 лет назад

i read that long time modern brakepads do not emitt so much gas during braking that slottet or drilled Rotors are even less effektive than Rotors without it

@atraxr603 7 лет назад

Slotted make sense, but drilled rotors are complete waste of time and rotors as they lower your rotor mass which in turn lowers the heat capacity of the rotor. These days drilled rotor are more for looks than anything else really. While slotted can have some minor benefits, like cleaning the pad and such.

@Nordlicht05 7 лет назад

@XiseTK 2 года назад

Preping a subaru for the track the first thing should be a rear swaybar, how could you not include that, should be number one to replace the factory coathanger swaybar in the rear. Sorts out a lot of the understeer and is the most transformative suspension modification you can do, and a cheap one at that. He mentions it but only replaces the links which aside from no longer snapping, offer no handling benefits. Those ohlins coilovers are one of the best you can buy for this chassis though so at least it wasn't a cheap set of coilovers, the swaybar would have still done more and cost less despite the coilovers being second hand.
