With the crx and now this it really feels like adams reaching the “beat the game and now playing side missions” part of his life😂
Going back and getting all the ones he passed up on his way through.
If he gets a Miata than we can confirm this 😂
@@matthewcarr2242 he had a miata
@@matthewcarr2242 he already has a Miata it’s in the storage building
For real, casually buys a $25-$30k car that he can’t import for a few more years lol
My dad actually owns a few gc8s and im really glad seeing you go into the subaru world with a car like this one because its one of the special editions that came with the roof vent , the DCCD controller and the blue dash. Which is also why you feel like the whole car is so raw, it was actually made for rally competitions and only because they wanted to participate in certain event where the rules need them to have a specific amount of car made in order to enter which is also why they only had around 600 of them sold to the market, they kept the rest for the rally competitions. Another thing is that version 6s are very common being the millennium editions where more interior bits are blue and they made 2000 of them to celebrate the start of the 21st century so seeing a non millennium edition is really rare so its really amazing to see you having this car to start your subaru journey but if you are looking for a subaru that is not so raw and more street car then the hawkeye GD STI are also amazing!
and it´s worth a lot of money in australia! and in brasil too! glad to see this video. I have a V5 sti basic version, very low milage too!!
Love my GD
Don’t be surprised when it’s sitting around and ends up selling it .
@@TheReaper42069 same homie a gc8 would be sick too
Blobeye is kit low & had the biggest scoop...forever the best GD
Just a heads up that this is not just a V6 Type R, it's a V6 Type R V-Limited which is why it has the fancy Blue seats. This is an epic find. Well done!
Adams driving in Japan seems so much more relaxed and free almost like he’s driving with no pressure
Isn't that the point of a missile car?
Maybe cause he has no pressure & just having fun? Lol
That’s the point
I feel like when asap drifts in the states it’s almost always some sort of competition so he does have that pressure. In Japan he’s on vacation.
I find it weird when people talk like they know this person in real life.
My absolute dream car right there! Can we have like 6 months of Subaru content, please?
every time he gets a new car I think I want one too. I only miss a corado vr6 in his collection.
@la haya nice, the mk3 golf VR6 was a personal favourite of mine. I would have the Subaru over every other car in his garage it really is my ultimate fantasy car.
Pls no
Your driving has improved so much compared to your last trip to Japan 3 years ago sick.!🔥
first video in years "decently long time" i got good vibes from watching a lz video. always good content but something been missing , the rawness and it feels like your hearts back into the experience. and its not forced. hope more to come with these vibes
yea he's excited and can't put words together right when he's loving what he's filming
18:32 Adam just fuckin around with the steering wheel mid drift is hilarious. Shows just how much he's having fun
That was cold asf too🥶
The ever lasting STI VS. Evo conversation.
The best way I can explain the feel having driven both but not lived with them:
EVO is a track car you can street, STI is a street car you can track..
UNDERRATED COMMENT
Subaru owner and completely agree with you
Love so bad how he became so Casual while drifting in Japan 🤣 very pleasant to listen as always
Yes! What a car to start exploring the Subaru life!
Had had a blob eye wagon in Connecticut but deserted it lol
Oh I know hahaha, we don't talk about that one
@@Chase_Schrader i think he still owns it but its rotting away somwhere lol
@@mindedchaos i think he made an update video last year or so, the cars just chill behind jimmy’s shop haha
Seriously!
Those cup holders are actually from a forester, the gc/gf/gm8s all came with a single cup holder in the dash with one cup holder in the center council.
The dash-mounted cup holder in my 2006 Forester XT has 'damped eject' and unfolds itself on the way out ...which is brilliant, there are a whole bunch more: two folded up in the center console and another two in the back!
All you need now is a vape 😂😂
No vaping in the Bunta-mobile!
@@thaifightr only smoking if you want to stay true to bunta hahaha
Adam's right. GC8 people are more old school, we just smoke cigarettes.
At last welcome to the STI world!! That car will grow on you new aftermarket sway bars and bushings are everything in this platform 🥳 and get her sounding like a rally car is next on the list!
Collette re-do the impression on the subaru was so funny 😂
As a petrol head this is such a refreshing video. The Japanese car community is always so cool and these kinda vids just make me wanna get a project car so bad. 😢
adam never dissapoints
Subarus are disappointing tho
debatable
@@heroinsnorter Unless you want your car to break then yes they are disappointing.
Holy shit I bought that box of kamikoto knives for my dad as a Father’s Day present 5 or 6 years ago and he’s no longer with us. Did not expect that emotion when I started watching this video
It's a v limited that's why it has blue seats ,version 6 had the normal seats ,great car 👌👌 I've owned 2
He was thinking about buying a Version 5 STi Type R V-Limited which comes with red seats.
Crazy to see Adam come here for the first time, just getting into drifting, learning to link these tracks now he is back as a Pro FD Driver.
I like that Adam is tick off with the banner sticker. 😂
The 46 minute videos are what dreams are made of
Adams first laps on north course is a type of happiness we should all hope to experience as often as possible. Such good vibes.
As someone who owns 4 gc8's, I can tell you without supporting mods they have some issues. Left stock you can bash on them like a rally car. Headaches aside, they are an absolute blast to drive! 🙌
Love the Japan videos Adam!! Been watching for so long and these are definitely my favourite videos
My man Adam trying to convince collete that the Subaru is a fun car and fast car made my day man hahahahaha 😂😂
Her gaslighting him💀
Rattles and Subarus are two things you can't separate, you fix one and another appears. It is a part of Subaru ownership and you pretty much learn to tune them out.
The nostalgia... this video took me wayyy back bro its crazy. Adam I'm so proud of you man
Adams in car commentary reminds me when parents mic up their kids playing sports 😂😂
That's exactly what it sounded like 🤣🤣
So true I was thinking of the little girl that talks to herself as she was snowboarding lol
Collette is halarious. Good to Sammit
I loved the vlog, seeing you drifting in japan and laying back with collete, sam and milky is soo cool, clearly the best crossover of the year ^^
Thank ! feel free to reach me out I have something for your …..!!! ⬆️🎁🎁🎊
For WRX do a de-cat pipe and put a TD-05 18g or 20G on it, semi tuned length headers and up-pipe & down pipe, split fuel rail mod, 4th cylinder coolant pipe mod, good leads and plugs. Also do the Killer B oil pickup and baffled sump.
nah vf22 20g anything less is not even worth it..
@@ON-EightySix Yeah VF22 is good, I just like the powerband of TD-05
yessss Subaru time! sorry about the broken bits, but you'll enjoy it I'm sure.
isnt the redline like 8000? Hes shifting pretty early.
those JDM sti engines are incredible. You should test drive a GD STI while in japan!!
@@matt260 before version 8 sti’s they’re all single scroll
44:30 that's french, it says "We offer the season".
The GC8 looks amazing, also nice to see some drift action 😅.
Yes! We love a Subaru. Big Subaru guy!
Not even a 22B
Or a P1
@@22Epic do you know how much cost 22b today? its collections material
you peasants soon will be forced to drive only boring appliance with 1 electric motor in it and would be happy made 100 km range trip to job
@@22Epic who cares
@@jameswallace9665 real big Subaru guys
I have a baby UK 2000 gc8 here in the UK, I have had it 13 years and only on the second engine, the ej didn't let go I just decided to swap to an SR20det and drift it. It isn't a special model like this would dream of doing the swap to a type R. Stunning car, enjoy it.
Finally more Subaru content 😮💨🫶🏼
Big subaru guy first off 1 bar is definitely isn't pushing it I've been running 20 psi for 4 years and the jdm sti transmissions are very short. Also all gc8 rear wheels wells don't have plastic they are just like yours you should have them up front. Also the cup holder if your cup is too small if you push the cup holder in it should tighten... at least that how it works on mine but I only have a single cut holder
I love how we get a little Sam sprinkled into every one of our other favorite RUclipsrs when they go to japan or Sam flies out
I kinda stopped watching your stuff about 2 years ago but man I clicked on the last video and I'm hooked again! Glad to see your content is still top notch
Massive Colin McRae vibes. Love it.
As a gc8 guy and avid subaru enthusiast, don't push it with sliding around until you add some baffling and an aftermarket oil pick up to it.
gosh im so jealous you being in japan! been wanting to go too japan for a while now! enjoy it! and love the car content as always!
Adam reading French: what does this say Sammit: it's something else hahaha
Super cool seeing you and Sammit drifting together again
So glad you've finally got a REAL impreza !
I've had my GC8 for nearly 20 years now and still love it. I was hoping you'd get an STI Type R when you said about a new car 😎👌
It's the best GC8 model (apart from the 22B). More raw and lighter than your evo 5, plus its more rwd biased because it has the DCCD too, think its as much as 30/70 front/rear torque split with the thumb wheel fully back (open position).
And they're reliable if they're looked after too.
🤞🏻🤞🏻For lots of Impreza content in the future 😎👌
Keep up the good work
One thing I miss is my v6 impreza was a complete difference to the typical thoughts of imprezas took abuse daily and never died once especially with 320 bhp at the wheels
if adam could talk to himself like this during fd he'll bring 1st place home
Great to see milky, in loving memory of his pink R32
Sam getz some awesome angle, the guys shreds, 🤙
Just scouring the comments trying to find out who that dude is
Some Australians bloke living in Japan that shreds, Adamz mate 👍 😂
36:50 "Collette to the rescue!"
& Then the cut to that slide was pure gold!
Bravo to everyone involved!
This is a collectors car and it's power is to be appreciated based on the era of the vehicle. It's old and it's special.. i would be returning it to stock.
Exactly. The technology was crazy at the time and the power output was equal the the Porsche 911
My dad has a very similar Subaru gc8 to this one, he doesn’t take it out much and keeps under cover. I’ve seen it once and it was In the summer of last year. Very nice car, wish I knew more about it.
Edit: also, my dads Subaru is a version 5!
@officialAdaMlz ^ spammer, reported.
I have a 2003 "Blobeye" WRX STI withe Prodrive upgrade, only had it for five months and loving it! It draws a lot of attention, mostly positive but occasionally aggressive.
I went for a black one (gold wheels) low milage, great condition.
44:33 "Nous offrons la saison." is french for "We offer the season" which doesn't make much sense in french. Probably some Japanese expression that got translated word for word in french to make it sound fancy.
20:00 “just rotate em and send it” is 100% a phrase I shouldn’t live by but do anyway 😂😂
Finally he joins team Subaru ! I’ve got the 06 sti and I’ve never been happier
A real STI GC8 is one of my dream cars, I still miss my 97 2.2L Impreza - it took a ton of abuse for an NA platform and shredded on dirt roads/trails (also had fun up in the mountains in Helen. GA)
Looks like a type r v-limited with those blue seats, cluster, roof scoop and being numbered
Get a stock ej207 short block and never let the magic out. Then run a reasonable amount of power so that you can drive it at 100%. It’s not a drag car, it’s for corners. Rad af!
Great find Adam! I’ve had my GC8 for a year now built it tuned it and it is a great car crazy light handles great will never sell that car! You will love yours can’t wait to see the content
Bought my Ver 5 Sti Type-r eight year ago and loved my car :D. Its just white 1 but still :P every day i go drive i just can smile 😍
Dude!!!! Why did I literally start looking at these and then he buys one! Going to thoroughly enjoy this.
I'd be real careful about sliding and doing burnouts in the type r, the way the fuel rails are set up, the cylinders get fed fuel one after the other so the last cylinder to recieve the fuel (I think its the left rear) ends up starving and dropping a cylinder
Looks like a super clean car though, the only thing above yours in terms of how sought after it is, is the 22B
This is how I blew up my first engine in my Version 5 STI Type R 😢
From a wrx wagon to a sick gc8 sti ... Definitely an awesome jump to make for the subie guys
My favorite views of drifting is snappy transitions and that s14 with the Aussie flags was snapping pretty good in the tandem videos!
I have a 95' STI V2, it's not a Type R but still love it. Also blew up like 4 months after I got it. Lmfao. Don't regret it though, they're iconic cars, and IMO the physical embodiement of rally cross.
That may make all kinds of rattles and noises but if you ask ANY DIE HARD SUBIE fan what you have right there is like one of the best Subarus of all time it’s a beautiful car it may not have all the bells and whistles but it’s SUBARU at its best when they actually built cars for real enthusiasts great choice to come into the community man beautiful car i love cars and the automotive industry and out of every make out there SUBARU is my favorite my dream car was a WRX STI and now I have 2 of them awsome choice man congratulations
I’m not a big subie guy, but when I was 15-16 I really wanted a gc8. My favorite Subaru. Look forward to seeing it
Thank ! feel free to reach me out I have something for your …..!!! ⬆️🎁🎁🎊
I have 2017 wrx right now and I’m loving it. Mannnnn I’ve always wanted a gc8. Big jelly my guy. Rally time!
FINALLY! Ive always wondered what the horn button logo means and im so happy to know theres a story behind it! Followed you for years, thank you for finally scratching that itch!
I’m such a nerd for subies, so glad you got into one finally
Wow shes an absolute gem. Cant wait to see you restore/build it
I’ve been watching you forever, and I’m SO happy you finally got into the subie game, give it some time, make her sound abit better, dial in the suspension, and I know it’ll grow on you, these cars have so much character😇
Best day ever, never expected this thousand of subie fan boys shedding tears right now 😅
Besides Adam, am I like the only one that really enjoys that outro? Love that you started putting the song clip back in
these two japan videos have been some of adam's best content in months
I used to have a JDM STI type R with Tein coil overs. Hearing this video was quite a trip down memory lane.
Big up Sammit being an excellent friend and guide for tourist RUclipsrs. Makes the filmed journey feel comfortable and smooth
So I’m a very large Subaru guy and I can tell you that is that shifty power steering pump. They go out all the time. Go to a junkyard and look for an early 2000s Subaru legacy or Impreza. Grab the power steering pump, the resoviour and both lines from the steering rack. They all bolt in. And the updated ones is not trash
Just love this chassis, have been dailying one for the past 15+ years and it never gets old!
V6 Type R is essentially the model below the 22B.
22B is so much more though - steel wide body, and the 2.2 engine being the biggest differences
Bro Sam is a baller behind the wheel wow
Just wanna say Adam I’ve been here since bmx videos and I still love watching
Got to love the new wheels. So many potential options & combinations of parts. I believe your 2dr does have less insulation & thinner glass & alloy bonnet. The dccd will allow you to do single point pivot donuts in slippery surfaces 2.
O also the NZ guy who made your evo subframes also does a kit for the sti
Wow! Special car, I had a uk RB5 back in the day. Best seats ever fitted to a Subaru! Best seats ever fitted to a road car?????
Need more RPM and wheel speed when AWDrifting...also, set your DCCD all the way back (driver controlled center differential)
For me this is awesome you got that subie. I remember seeing it when it was posted on goonet and eyeing it for a while, but pulled the trigger on another car. Excited to see the walk around and congrats on the car bro!
Those screws on the steering wheel are actually JIS screws, similar to Phillips but there are screwdrivers made specifically for them that wont strip the head
Gc8 sti owner, definitely agree that they’re more Tin can like than the evo. But stock for stock my v4 sti was a little bit faster than my friends stock tme in a straight line. Evo definitely handles better in stock format, sti (non dccd) has too much under steer then snap oversteer. But can be fixed with decent lsds
Talked to you about your interest in GC8’s and Subarus at the autozone meet in Michigan. Congrats, this thing is sick
Beginners tip for audience, and Im sure Adam knows, be careful how you adjust track bars. Radial spring rate does increase but the theory is backwards. Rear Adjustments affect the front and visa versa..
the writing on the cup is in french, means "we offer the season" as in (I think) a way to say they provide you a seasonal taste. French is tricky and very different from japanese in lots of ways, but they try their best and lots of writing in Japan is in french, always messed up, which as a french tourist I always found hilarious :) I guess they find french sounds cool&exotic similar as we do for them
Thank ! feel free to reach me out I have something for your …..!!! ⬆️🎁🎁🎊
Soooo happy to see a gc8 on the channel been waiting for this day since you were riding bmxs with jimmy and the other boys 😍 I’ve got a gc8 atm I’ve owned over 30 of them and I’m in love with them I’ve blown up a few of them but it’s not sti’s that head gaskets it’s the Imprezas that have head gasket issues cause they are paper and wrx and sti is stainless steal
The evo has a lot more tlc in it. I can’t wait for him to bring this back to the states I hope he keeps it.
Probably your biggest fan that drives a gc8. So stocked to see you get one!
Always love the Japan videos. Make me smile start to finish.
I'm super happy that you finally bought an STI
One of the best sounding cars ever
recently found my long lost parents 88 supra. still in fantastic condition but unfortunately powered by an automatic 7m-ge. torn between putting money in the unreliable 7m engine or swapping with a 1jz. wish their was more videos about these cars online.
