I've been constantly checking to see if a new video has been posted and RU-vid was hiding it from me. So happy to see this at the top of my page! Looking immense, loved the video!

@Djsparra 2 года назад

You should’ve put the rear brake lines in before the fuel tank, and you’ve missed the rubber spring seat on the shock.

@stevemartegani 2 года назад

Oh man, that hot air gun tip on the black plastic will be a life changer. Thanks so much for the tip!

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

One of the replies below says not to do this.... Will look into it.

@andriusGNR 2 года назад

It's a short solution, in a long term it will turn to previous state and worse cuz heat will draw out the oils from plastic and turn it more brittle etc. I wouldn't recommend doing it 😲

@anone3842 2 года назад

I would hate to think about how much it would cost to do this level of restoration to an entire car. Probably three times the total cost of the entire car to buy second hand. The amount of labor, time and equipment required is way beyond the abilities of average car enthusiast to do themselves. I have 03 WRX STi Type UK with the usual rotting underbody sills and everything else... would probably cost as much as buying a new EV to repair it fully. Probably why 95% of old WRX and STis are now off the road. My car is a rarity now - only recently have young children took an interest in it again when they see it on road - not many left on roads compared to 10-15 years ago.

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Restorations at this level are usually a matter for the heart not the head. I'm currently building a custom Lada for a customer. Financially it makes no sense but the end result will be an epic one off.

@bsfunk44 2 года назад

Wooooooooo!!!

@race-partners 2 года назад

great work guys it's looking fantastic. Be sure to put some axle stubs into the hubs before rolling it too much or the bearings will start to come apart

@MrTrekvrx 2 года назад

Awesome to see you guys back doing it, hopefully once the P1 is all together you can take it to Prodrive and give it a faceoff with their new P25 restomod

@carmadness4904 2 года назад

I would love to do this job rather then fixed 92 stock trains. More videos please 🙏🏻

@simonk337 2 года назад

So good to see you back. Torque content is so well done. I assume you're giving the P1 away to one lucky subscriber? 😬

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

@dustinkaviani 2 года назад

Solid mechanic, loosely installing the fasteners in before running everything down.

@koykoy7102 2 года назад

@ap9500 2 года назад

Are you going completely OE where possible? Any uprated bushes, top mounts or such like ?

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Mostly OE. All of the suspension will be OE and new.

@benkay1986 2 года назад

Loving the project, great work guys, nice to see a build with such a high attention to detail. Is it possible your car has a big brake option and that’s why the backing plates didn’t fit, I’m sure most of the other P1’s I’ve seen videos and photos of only have the smaller Subaru 4 pot calipers.

@Torque-GT 2 года назад

Yep, we have the big brake Alcon option. After speaking with Subaru apparently this was the only backing plate available for the P1 so we have to modify the smaller backing plate!

@alanmale7011 2 года назад

Great build but be careful with that torque wrench!

@tessbushell5489 2 года назад

👌🏻

@steveschriefer2733 2 года назад

Great video, but never torque suspension bushings until the car is carrying it's own weight. It will cause binding and premature failure of the bush.

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Only the subframe bolts were torqued. The rest will be done when the car is on the 4 post ramp and has a lot more weight in it

@neilr4867 6 месяцев назад

Note on those KYB shocks, they are garbage. I've had two Version 6 STIs (effectively the 4 door version of your car) and they've failed before 35,000KM on both. You'll get a tell tale knock from one corner of the car sooner or later. I'd say that's why they were hard to find as so many were replaced under warranty. I always flung them and replaced with Tein SuperStreet coilovers.

@scooby2nr 2 года назад

will be getting stripped back down to fit the brake pipes?

@boylejohnstone1 Год назад

Currently doing my Subaru gc8 the same way and it’s been fun and costly 😊. But what I can say is I’d kill to work in your workshop the conditions look amazing

@ChanoWilliams 2 года назад

I kept checking back on your channel over the months to see what had happened. Last I checked was about two weeks ago. To my surprise this morning my feed showed a video from you that uploaded SIX days ago. lol So happy to see you continue working on the P1, especially with the recent announcement and tease from Prodrive on their P25. Cheers! P.S. - How's your hand after that big cut from catching that sharp piece of the chassis?

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and thanks for asking. Tip of my finger has a permanent reminder of this resto🤣

@anthonyk8027 2 года назад

thanks god, you’ve not put the 19 inch rims on gc as they did on p25

@perfectpaintnorthwales3763 2 года назад

lovely

@IvanAtThe555 2 года назад

I think part of the rationale for inverted shocks is to attach more of the weight the body side of the spring rather than have it add to the wheel unsprung mass. That said, they also manage to lose their lubrication inside of 20,000 and start with the knocking. They're a pain on the later new age cars. P.S. Not using rubbers on the spring seat?

@Noodles_rs 2 года назад

Great work, thanks for restoring such a beauty! Would like to ask if you have any sources for new old stock, or repop, weather stripping for the Impreza Coupes. Searched high and low and bought every new bit of weather strip that was still available a couple of years ago for my coupe project, but I am still missing a few bits. Any help would be appreciated!

@Macrike 2 года назад

Fantastic video! Many thanks for documenting and sharing. Could it be that they backing plates were too small because they were for the rear wheels instead of the front wheels? 🤔

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Nope, the Alcon calipers may was a Prodrive option and Subaru have the standard spec listed...

@alorrick7546 2 года назад

@sttm1283 2 года назад

when painting the body. did you put dummy screws in every hole or covered them up? all the nuts seem to go in very well, like if there were no paint etc in there :D

@trackeverything4687 2 года назад

That inverted monotube rear ends up having a knocking as time goes on. I really haven't found too man people solving that issue. They sometimes add a grease fitting that helps for a little bit but it might be great preventive maintenance. Is there a chance you might be able to address it? Keep up the good work.

@andrewlangford88 2 года назад

You're also missing the washers on the bolts that hold the rear subframe in. For some reason they have a huge washer on them (I'm assuming the P1 is the same as every other Subaru here)

@David-xc4us 2 года назад

Love a 2 door scooby….didn’t know u done parts, so if I can’t get parts for my Forester STI, can u source them for me?

Enquire with Torque Parts. Josh may be able to locate what you need.

@cuddilym 2 года назад

Good video guys. Where did you get the new fuel tank? I could do with a new one for my v2 sti ra

@localhero26 2 года назад

Great video, looks fantastic. But are you going to remove the fuel tank to fit the rear barake pipes, or is there a cleaver way of doing it without removel of said fuel tank?

@andrewlangford88 2 года назад

On the strut assembly it looks like you're missing the bottom rubber spring holder, pretty much the same as the one on the top

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

Correct. We've found them!

@andrewlangford88 2 года назад

@@danbarruffo7743 also looks like you're missing the washers on the bolts that hold the rear subframe in. I would also make sure you torque the suspension bolts at ride height otherwise you'll only get a few weeks out of your bushings....ask me how I know...

@danbarruffo7743 2 года назад

We've only torqued the main subframe bushes at the moment and ilthey did have heavy-duty top hat style washers pushed in. All suspension will be tightened and torqued once the car is loaded with engine gearbox etc.

@gavdev3801 2 года назад

Loving the p1 restoration!! I’m interested to know if you guys are planning to protect the underside with sealant or a rust inhibitor? If so what product do you recommend? Cheers

Double check that fuel pump cover gasket, or it will steel like fuel on the car. You could/should upgrade that rear ARB, stock makes the car understeer wayyyyy to much
