Nice simply build.. BUT..... if you really want it to handle, yes tires are #1 , BUT a good performance anti sway bar will do FAR more then the springs will do as far as handling. Yes the springs will lower it a bit but you will notice a smooth ride like stock yet handle better then the springs, if you go with the sway bar
If you are going for the road race track.. #1 tires.. #2 performance anti sway bars..
For looks go springs if u have to pick one or the other, but anti sway bars are usually not to crazy expensive.
Edit: GLAD TO SEE you did sway bars at the end of the video....In My 25 years of racingexperience road racing/ stage rally (for road racing, go anti sway bars before springs if u have to choose one fo... Stage rally (if you are going rally racing you do NOT want performance anti sway bars off road)
i hope the snack pack was nice!
The aptly named Subaru WRX STi (Sexually Transmitted Infection) is the perfect car to get during these times of virus overload. Well done, gents.
Bonus mod MCM lanyards!!! Keep up the great content.
what happened to the lift jack u guys have been using previously ? sorry been off for a while ...
I find holding that exhaust with my knee so that it slips and the whole muffler falls on my face and breaks my nose to be the best method for installing an exhaust.
Hahahaha. Proper LOL’d at that
Yes, can confirm this is indeed the recommended method
And here my wife said i was doing it wrong! Ha! Shows what she knows.
I used this method while also trying to TIG mine. So I got the combined exhaust to the face and hot flange to the forearm.
Last time I was holding a muffler up under a car doing hangers on my back, my shoulder just said fuck it and dipped out of it's socket :' )
this is why I love MCM. They get straight to the point and mod the car immediately! They just put 7 mods on in 25 minutes compared to other youtubers making 30 min videos just for some wheels
And 28 minutes are talking head in the car on the way to pick up the wheels
my car go pshhh psshhh
it makes it a lot easier to do when they get paid to put on all the brands (they deserve the support though)
Except for their "Disrespected Nostril" Series
their uncut episodes are pretty long, but by design so they can also take their time xD The sponsoring is very smooth though :)
Not a super big mod, but I'd add window tints to the list it really changes the look of your car and also helps on sunny days
That exhaust sounded great! Not gonna lie, if I ever need to change mine out, I'd probably so something like that. Off-throttle crackles aren't something I want in my daily
The invida r400 exhaust sounds a lot better then the q300
@@nick-dq2fe
But he wants quiet so he should stay with the q300, the r400 is the loud variant
nah nah, I want my daily shooting flames 🤣
all this talk about STI's and rubber makes me think of my ex. love the build tho. keep it up!
Dam I hope not😂😂😂
Omg.. you dated Karen J too???
Cheryl?
Did you also Wreck it?
I hate when you don't have good rubber and it causes an issue with a Sti.
I love when we hear the older Moog Music like Collide, brings memories back from the older episodes, for me the original gramps build will forever be amazing
I listened to that album modding my first car and it hits in such a particular way. There's nothing like it 🤘
Everything I Was.
Holds a special place in my heart
Moog is honestly one of the greatest musicians of our time, his music is low key everywhere and nobody even realises it, he is humble on a whole different level.
Love Moogs music, my playlist is full of 'em.
Not sure about that remix of Collide tho..i prefer the OG version
Still waiting for THAT specific song, it's in the Sydney MCM meet from years ago, you know the song I'm talking about 🤣
When I was watching this episode I'd figure all the mods (and bonus mods) would cost around ten grand. My excel mod sheet for this particular car comes down to AUD $10,208 so only a couple of bucks off. For the people who wanted to know what all these mods cost there you have it. Of course you would be able to install all the mods yourself for no extra added costs. Cheers!
I just have to say that I sincerely appreciate how you guys provide a 50/50 split of the very professionally done episodes and the two mates and a video camera episodes. You guys have nailed it with your content and I’m always impressed with each video I watch 👌 you guys are going to be legends
Loved the TOE push to start during T for Toe.
i died laughing! i had to rewind just to make sure i was seeing correctly.
T is for toe. Hahaha
The toe was also used to page up.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed.
The sound track used is a massive nostalgia trip. Rake loves this
Whatever happened to rake?
They stopped referencing him a while ago and we stopped seeing him when they were still on the driveway.
We miss Rake :(

Guy's; this Video was an absolute breath of fresh air. I love the throw back Music and the "Old school" MCM style of video. In this strange day in age amidst this pandemic we can imagine it isn't easy thinking of and filming new ideas without becoming repetitive. I haven't missed an episode of MCM yet and thoroughly enjoying it. Please don't stop. Stay safe!
15:57 …best point in the video. A toe pushes the engine start button. That’s the only way I will ever start a vehicle with a button again.
I was about to say the same thing! 😂
This is a rad episode. Felt like an old school MCM episode with all the classic tunes. Step one, jack up your car.
Onnnehundredpercent
Glad u guys are keeping it moving with the vids considering your restrictions. You guys should consider a fleet update. I'd love that for sure
Has Australia gone full authoritarian?
@@weedshoes5089 nsw is currently in "lockdown" but I'd hardly consider it that, because almost everybody is still at work
NSW and scomo government trying to fuck the rest of Australia up
@@weedshoes5089 yes
@@weedshoes5089 nah just dumb NSW really. Rest of Australia doing pretty fine.
Loved the exhaust explanation - sliding along on the creeper, with crystal clear description. You guys are the best.
Thinking about it, this really does work for other builds; overlanding, bug-out, amphibious. A good beginners guideline for sure
Literally just watched the last video and was like “I can’t wait for the mods to start” and 💥 here is is right in front of my eyeballs 👀
From the interballs to your eyeballs
Don't forget your ear balls
1st mod should be: chuck a mad CHOPPED sticker on it!
Is that still not FACTORY ISSUE?? Damn!
Damn you're right - haha. OK Maybe this should the TOP 8 mods :)
Worth at least 100% more power
Or the chopped valve stem covers. Thats the only mod on my car lmao
Make it A new Chopped sticker say a ( HOLOGRAM) chopped sticker
Hey guys, great choice in wheels. Just got my dream car yesterday after paying off a lifetime of debt, my dealer called my wife and told her they just had someone teade in a 2019 in WRB with the gold wheels and i hauled ass as soon as i heard. There isnt a lot i would change yet, but this video is a perfect guide for me to start. You guys keep up the great work and videos and stay safe. I look forward to seeing more.
Found this video immensely helpful. Newbie here just acquired a car worth investing in and now I feel like I know where to start. Thanks for keeping it simple ❤
This truly felt like a classic Mighty Car Mods episode, I loved all the classic MCM tracks it was so comforting, nostalgic and awesome all at the same time. Cracking stuff as always fellas
Exactly my thoughts
Fact man
Repent to Jesus Christ
“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
1 Peter 5:10 NIV
man this feels like the old days where you guys did simple mods before full builds
You guys are killing it! The growth is unreal and well deserved!
I really did miss the OG song whenever yall jacked up the car. So good hearing it again
it’s crazy how these videos can be so casual and so well done at the same time
Man the music, voice over, the instructional video style, so nostalgic to the good ol days.
What a brilliant brief explanation of what to do when changing springs. Thanks dudes. Great video.
That volume was perfect! I wouldn't want it any louder, or quieter.
Another "bonus mod" you can use is a high quality weighted shift knob. Makes a big difference for the shifting experience. Also, for an STI mud flaps make a whole lot of sense in the "kit" category.
True. The shifter knob makes all the difference. Especially if you change the shaft too. I had my shifter knob changed to a smaller one on my previous car by the previous owner and he also had removed the bulky foamy plasticy body of that shifter so there was just a small straight metal stick and a small knob in the end of it. It made me want to change the gears constantly. It felt so good when there was just that small metal stick with small shifter knob.
Love my new gear knob and short shifter. As you say, a big difference to the shifting experience
Also good for wearing out the synchros in the gearbox prematurely.
STI mudflaps are gross as shit
@@weedshoes5089 This is total bs. Even resting your hand on the shift knob shouldn't cause damage, a shift knob is a complete non-issue.

Can't believe the exhaust wasn't trombone checked prior to installation how do we even know how good it sounds. Pls release a new video of stock vs q300 tromboned.
I almost cried watching Moog pick up his Subby :)
You are awesome guys! I have no idea for how many years I have been watching your banging videos!
Wish you all the best!
This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen about how to modify a car, thanks.
With the hot aussie summer coming, window tint is a great first mod, the interior won't get as hot and you won't have as much glare, this means your interior will last longer, you'll have to use the AC less so more powah and you'll be able to see and hit the apexes easier! A well worth it mod!
didn't you hear,
summer is canceled due to dangerous dan,dilligaf gladdies and emperor marky mark and the covid crew
problem with tinting is peeling and blistering. I'm an all day driver for work. The amount of cars I see where the tint has bubbled. My first car tint bubbled after 5 years. My new car I decided not too.
@@Paul-op9oz 5 years lol i thought id have to be redoing the tint way earlier than that. thats amazing durability
@@Paul-op9oz Don't get cheap shit then.
Make sure its ceramic tint, theyll do better with block uv rays
15:55 is that a foot pushing the start button lmao
this is the most educational video ever and sick build i’m getting into cars more and more each day bc of videos like this i love it
That exhaust swap was tough!! Love that deep rumble!
Some of the soundtrack used was such a throwback... rake loves it
Looks fantastic, these STis have such a special place in my heart😂
Great video😁
another bloody mint beginner mod vid! learning heaps so far just from two vids from you guys. thanks you, from an aspiring car enthusiast.
Also for “T” you could do tint. Changes the look of your car plus it helps with heat
Loving the old Moog tunes dropped in. Big nostalgia from the old vids
Thank you for scripting it different. You gents did in this episode what has been missing for a while. Your natural chemistry. Perhaps each having defined dialogue is the way to do it because lately you have just been sounding like you are having a tiff. In each episode. In this one though you kept it professional and kept it moving... love it. Please don't forget we do watch you for entertainment as well. We do not need to see two dudes who are pissed off at each other. That is not why we watch you guys. Lastly, as much as we dig you blokes the cars/bikes are still the stars. No need to distract from that. Love mcm thank you gents. Greetings to Sheryl.
This is MCM channel peaking, such a good video, can tell by the comments everyone feels the same. Excellent video. Thanks boys.
I've never modified a car in my life, but I've followed MCM for years. Always so hyped to see a new video - particularly one like this where it all seems so achievable! If only the funds would let me ;)
I love this list of mods. It's just the perfect balance for having have some fun and still have a perfectly drive-able car. Well done MCM!
Definitely appreciate this videos.
I haven’t followed MCM for a while as i remember it got too mainstream… (reminded me too much of top gear, where it was once an awesome show reviewing cars…then it went all global and it was literally an action drama about blowing things up) I hope that MCM future videos will be like the old videos; where it was in two blokes tinkering in the garage and teaching the audience on how to mod their cars with the occasional Aussie tongue-in-cheek humour.
Well, the cars have gotten flasher and the mods more expensive but the lads haven't changed. Takes a lot of talent and dedication to keep something fresh for so long no matter how passionate you are about it. Keep up the great work guys
2:09 That's probably the best track Moog has ever made, and I love it every time I hear it.
Sick video boys! Looking forward to telling people we've 'wrecked' some more project cars using this acronym! 😎
I got me a black 2018, so needless to say, absolutely loving that they're working on my car 🥰 another awesome episode bois!! 👌
This is amazing. So much great information for all the guys that are now starting to get into the car community! My personal go-tos would include a [d]ownpipe for decreasing wasted power, increased sound and preserving engine lifespan on modern vehicles but other than that your list was absolutely amazing and inspirational. My little tip on top would be: take your time when building a car; rather go step by step and fully appreciate all the little details the parts add instead of just installing everything all at once and also: if possible include friends and prusue that awesome journey together.
It still blows my mind how many years I've been watching these goons
I am for sure adopting the term "Wreck It" when talking about customizing cars! Great content as always! Stay safe you Legends ✌️
the whiteline alk kit and bumpsteer lot are a great addition especially for a lowered subaru to correct the roll center
I just bought my 93 civic ex its my first car and I'm definitely about to wreck it. you guys are my hero's, thank you so much for the simplicity and straight forward content.
Really love the music selection and the edits! Shows just how far you guys have come! Awesome video guys!
Moog, you’re one of the few channels I turn my haptic bass up for. Love how you mix.
That exhaust legit sounds sooo good! Nice job
Hi! I enjoy watching the mods you install and how easy you guys make it look!
The cat back exhaust sounds amazing!
Soundtrack was awesome! Loved having the old tunes come back
Anyone knows where to get that bodykit?
Moogs so loyal he even has Ryobi Brakes. xD
Love your video first time seeing it will do some mods just got our WRX FA20 on Monday
super happy to se you guys did a video on a WRX because im getting one for my first car!!
Hope you guys are well over in Sydney :) so excited to see the sti transform!
Really enjoyed this video, smashing off a big list of stuff you can do to customise your car.
I'd definitely recommend getting a dashcam though, as I had an accident four years ago which was not my fault and the footage proved the third party was completely at fault. It doesn't matter what car you drive, it just provides peace of mind should you end up involved in an accident.
Good work guys!
crazy i havent watched yall since i was in high school and yall are still badass now.
Thanks so much for this video. I learned a lot of important information about ill-advised modifications.
Also for those of us with DI, a baffled oil catch can is a great way to slow down the inevitable carbon buildup inside of your engine. Just drain the oil about every oil change, and you should be fine
Man, that is awesome having a spring compressor. Love these full upgrade episodes.
just found this page, loved your video! Have been considering most of these mods for my new WRX already, might have sold me on the Invidia exhaust and cobb air intake!
Another good bonus mod I'd recommend is a short shifter, it's a but more down to preference but normally I find if your car isn't considered a sports car or is just a bit older it makes it feel a lot nicer and they pretty cheap and easy to install
I love how California is legendary with there shifty emissions even in Australia across the world lmfao
A large amount of seriously modified cars are registered out of state at this point. Live in socal and its looking like a good move for me and my wrexie...
*THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER*
Its kind of flattering. Everyone around the world knows us.
I have friends who got state reffed for muffler deletes. Fuck california
Nothing is worse than Germany when it comes to automobile modification restrictions!
Hearing you guys try to convert specs to Imperial is great, and is appreciated. I can do the quick conversion in my head, generally, but it's cool you include inches (and HPs on the dyno).
speaking as a person from wisconsin, usa, i agree
You guys really need to get out of the stone age and start using metric
(For *those* people, NASA used metric, not imperial when flying too the moon)
Simple explanation for a meaningful video. Love the hood,new fan from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
Good information video to start anyone interested with Mods. Great job guys!!!
I like the idea of having brakes be part of this because not everything is equipped with factory six pots.
2:04 ive heard STIs can be kept in check with good rubbers
Best episode. explained on a simple concept.
Just got my WRX, first mod I did was the crosstrek blower motor cover. Silenced that cricket chirping sound whenever the heater/AC is on.
I get a bit sad watching the guys now. I feel like every time I sit down and watch an episode, you realise
you can't expect two guys to have such an intense passion forever, I just wish the projects could keep coming, the material stay fresh, and for the adventures not to stop.
Come to Scotland next!
I get what you mean, there's a "90's" vibe about this show and Marty and Moog that makes me feel nostalgic
Ah dont remind me goodness like this will end some day.
Pretty amazing they've been doing this for 13+ years
Im loving the rate of these uploads, RAKE LOVES IT
This was sick! You should do top 7 things to do when you buy an old car (changing oils, brakes etc)
This is legit man I appreciate the upload MCM
As much as you guys deserve to be using a two poster ramp I love the fact you haven’t and keep that genuine feel showing those that don’t specifically know and that it is possible to do at home with just a little common sense you guys freaking rock 🖤 #smokedoutperfomance 🤘🏼
Just picked up my first ever MCM merch and gone in deep with Cheryl's big mystery box! So stoked.
Thanks for keeping me going through another NZ lockdown lads, keep up the great vids 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Is NZ back in lockdown?!
@@J4mes.co.uk1 yep unfortunately :(
So I have to ask.... what's in the box?
@@alastairc.5219 something mysterious I reckon😁
Absolutely loved this one guys, nice work.
Maybe the best Subie mod video I've ever seen 10/10. I'm biased because I have a unmodded 2019. This video is my road map. That is a killer STI and those wheels and tires... sooo sweet.
It's amazing to see Marty and Moog finally modding an STI. I bought a white 2015 one just like this in 2014 and have modded EVERYTHING, including a forged motor.
Some kind of meta: getting a Whiteline ad as Marty is talking about this car's Whiteline sway bars.
Same! i thought it was a weird start to the video until i seen the yellow bar
Lmao same
your quickness to getting to the point and showing good clips earned you a like, sub, and i turned notis on. good men
Very informative. enjoyed your video, thanks
I love Cobb. I've used their parts on my speed3 and focus st. The quality and performance is awesome and their customer support is great too. Nice build boys!
I got my e36 m3 corner balanced at their shop in Texas. They were quite alarmed when they thought I did a fuel filter delete. They went as far as to personally insult me for it. I was alarmed to realize they had never worked on an early e36 with the fuel filter on the side of the block rather than along the frame rail. This was in 2014. Never went back.
Well worth getting a custom tune for the Cobb accessport though! The ots maps are ok but real improvements is in getting it custom tuned. Plenty of people who will do it for not too much money over the internet using logs.
@@weedshoes5089 The shop in Plano was a privately run tuning shop owned by COBB at the time but was basically just COBB in name. The people that make the products are/were different and had nothing to do with your experience. Not saying you don't have a valid gripe but just want people to know it has no bearing on buying their parts.
@@Bones12x2 Good to know
Coilovers, never just springs. Change the spring rate and you'll need to change the damping, or you'll wind up with an underdamped suspension, causing bounce.
Well designed lowering springs, like Whitelines, account for this very well. Unless spending you're A LOT, quality springs will be more comfortable and reliable than coils most the time. Coils are generally spec'd for track/"high performance", not what you want on a daily.
I put lowering springs in my GTI and didn't run into that problem.
I'd only put coilovers on a street car if there isn't a realistic alternative. For instance, I have an SF Forester and in my opinion the proper way to lower an SF or SG is to use coilovers.
Nice.. I agree with WRECK IT 100%! My current car checks every letter on it.
Fantastic video guys. Back to the old school MCM
Love that exhaust sound what an improvement. A lot of simple bolt on mods which can make a difference and make the car stand out from the crowd.
God damn you never know when Mr. Foot attacks xD
Just installed the Q300 exhaust on my 2020 STI last weekend. This is the PERFECT exhaust! Nice rumble but you can still talk to passengers while on the highway,
Still enjoying you show lads, keep them comming. Thanks.
