@@MAR-ml1fy wonder why the 8 videos of this project start to finish at 20mins each, with in depth explanation, process and problems encountered. All have sub 10k views. People are lazy, people actually dont want to hear what your doing. They just want shock value. Like taking this turd and turning it into something. All my short form start to finish videos do significantly better then the actual video series themselves. Just my experience.
As an owner of a 2009 Legacy with 453000 km, original engine and tranny and clutch, it is a pleasure to watch fine work and perhaps will inspire me to re-do my Legacy,
Thats awesome! I did a big overhaul on My 02 wrx at 570k last year. I now hope to get another 20 years out of it! You definitely know the secret to care and maintenance with your car.
Well what a transformation I'm now that motivated if I get my arse into time-lapse speed looks like I should have mine done by lunch time tomorrow and driving by the afternoon lol big respect to you all love it
The internet is not ready, Subysanctuary. I can hear all the other local Subarus like 🙄 as you roll through with solid floor pans and strut towers. I like how you taped the plastic to the floor for a cleaner spray 🤘. I'm also stoked that you're driving it to shows. She gotta see the streets too haha So awesome guys. **that Gran Turismo vibe tho The Rs 16s look so much better than 17in StI Bbs imo. Just perfect
Thanks brother, I agree. The 16’s with a very plush size tires and a bit of lower really make it look the part! Couldnt be happier with how it all came together. She has driven to 2 shows so far and one rip down a local twisty road. Probably got one more in her for the year
Have a I got a treat for you then, just finished edited a civic resto we did. 370 hrs into 10 mins 😳 ill post it in a couple weeks. Keep at your project, the end is worth the effort
I noticed your car has a cage is that a proper rare option from Subaru or a aftermarket one?, the proper ones have Sti stamped on them, love your work by the way your car is now to nice to use lol
@@bunsofsteeeel honestly Ive never seen an RA without the cage them in. I know they were not installed in factory but maybe something that was installed at dealer? Would actually love to know
@@TheSubieSanctuary that’s funny because I’ve never seen that many ra’s with cages, I owned a Sti ra that didn’t have a cage that was a version 2, I believe it was a factory option in Japan for ra models to be fitted with a cage
@@bunsofsteeeel yes good point, its only been the v2’s ive seen but cant recall the status of the sti ra’s vs the wrx ra’s. The wrx ra’s were even more stripped down then the sti’s so maybe they were more destined to be off the lot and into racing. Dean at type-ra.com would definitely know the origins of the caged early ra’s
There are not many sports cars in Korea. They are almost all sedans and SUVs. Nowadays, clubs and other clubs are gradually forming after restoring cars from the 1990s and 1980s. But even in Japan or the U.S., these restoration cultures are developed a lot. I'm just jealous.
It is always interesting to see how different cultures react to keeping the classic tuner cars going. Some places they are just daily traffic and some places they extinct almost
@TheSubieSanctuary That's right. Isn't it a difference in corporate perception? I have a question. Is it easy to get parts when restoring famous Japanese cars in the 90s and 2000s?(ex nissan skyline gtr series or Mazda rx7 or Toyota ae86 and so on)
@@user-ev4gk6qr3z I find with the popular classic japanese cars that they are somewhat easy to get parts for compared to more off beat classic jdm cars. Only issue is the prices for getting parts for them and its really spread out in terms of places to obtain the parts. But i would say the popular classics do have pretty good support still!
Hey so we changed your tires and since we had it up in the air already we went ahead and ripped off your side panels, and replaced every single component. Oh and we also deflanged the hyperdrive fuse box manifold
Doesn't type RA's have roof scoops like the type r? Also I am personally restoring a 2000 SF5 FORESTER STI type 1. I'd love to know where you source your parts especially for a Japanese exclusive car.
This is a wrx Ra, not and sti Ra. The wrx was the same drivetrain as the sti but the wrx was more stripped done. (Lighter) I got the parts from all over the world really. Europe, Australia, Japan and some stuff around north America. Found this site to be good for Japanese specific new parts as well Japanparts.com
@@mr.smoosh1998 tricky to navigate the site sometimes but found a few needed things on it. Another interesting tip I found is: if you find the part number for some jdm specific part. Honestly call your local dealer with the part number. I cant count how many parts they were able to get jdm parts for me. Even if the part comes up no applicable model or not in warehouse. Subaru will send it from japan to north american warehouse. Ordered more stuff this week, takes like 3 weeks to come in but subaru pays the shipping 😉
I found it on their Australian site, it wouldnt ship to Canada so I called them and they sent it. Was probably 5 years ago, but hopefully they still make it
@TheSubieSanctuary absolutely based. Ill do some digging. Been looking for something to replace these old rotten stock ones. I found a new oem one on yahoo auctions but thats it.
@@quinnanderson3926 a blue set here, but ya I had called samco and they had it on hand in black which was my preference. www.rhdjapan.com/samco-intake-hose-gc8-sti-wrx-ver1-to-2.html
Type ra’s never came with any under coating. Thats what makes them special. Compared to original it has 2 coats of epoxy then red paint. Under normal circumstances it will never rust unless dragged over rocks or something to get down to metal
At the time, it would have been about $75k, now with inflation and huge rise in shipping cost and services costs. $100k is probably current cost to do this parts/labour.
The are a great set “tein flex z” all teins are unfortunately green 🥲 and your right they are a bit of a clash underneath. I do have some never used custom made fortune autos (all black) but I plan on saving them for my coupe build
Oh heck yeah don’t stop lol. I have a handful of subies , a couple have turned into projects 😅but I plan on getting them back on the road. Thanks for the motivation lol
@@crobertsson7030 it is my own car, I have not yet totalled up the parts cost. But labour would have been like $40k Canadian at the time. Now probably more like $50k with todays rates 🥵
I think I will do a sit down follow up vid, with video shots in great detail to show how much effort really went into it. Along with cost of parts/time/external services. I do have it all kept track of 👌
