I like the IAG AOS since unlike a catch can its a matter of installing it and forget it. Does it's job without having to empty the catch cans. The Cobb one is a nice one also.
I just got my first car, it's a 1998 impreza L coupe 5 speed manual, the original owner was my grandma and then it was my moms and now it's mine, only been in the family and i couldn't be more thankful for such a good first car
Luke! Great to see your good! And the car turned out awesome!!! I wore the heck out of my hoodies I got from you this winter! Allright man take care hope to see you soon beautiful work man!!! 🍻
Where did you get the seats? The original seats that came out of my car had the same hole in the same spot. Doubt it’s the same seat but that’d be wild if it was lol
Love how much you have progressed with this. I'm sure I still have a pair of fog lights stored if you could use them. Come off a 98 and we now have a 2007 Hawkeye. Don't think it's the crystal lights though.
What are L coupes/ 2.5rs coupes going for these days? Avg condition, no accident history, minimal (if no rust). Looking at importing one into australia at the moment as we only got sti coupes in australia and they're $60,000 minimum.
do u have a video of rebuilding a ps rack? your such an inspiration bro i want to specialize in restoring old and unique cars and Im starting with Subaru be safe out there
Luke how’s it going, do you know anything about tuning, I’ve just built a new engine for my Subaru, 207 STI block with 205 heads, TGV deletes, KnN air induction kit, TD5 20g turbo, 800cc injectors, decat exhaust. I’m looking at using Romraider software to start learning to tune myself was wondering if you had any tips or experience. Big fan love the channel ❤
Questions. Have you considered the benefits of the use of an AOS on Subarus? I installed one on my WRX. And has really helped with the adding oil between changes.
Absolutely love your channel. One day I would hope to get something you have restored or find one very similar as a 4dr version. Great stuff as always!
sheesh i have a green RS i've been restoring but its costly, i wasn't planning on going to this level but this is one hell of a good lookin car all things said. I also was on the fence about the jdm tails but wow. good work
I got the same model of 1996 subaru impreza L coupe in 14 years ago. My first subaru ever. Good memories. And now i got 2 subarus. Is the 2006 impreza sti, and 2019 subaru ascent limited two got turbo charged engines. As a subaru diehard fan I love your show keep it up and take care. 😊
Ahhh. You caught that buddy - Nice eye! Added that little strip to cover the Airbag indicator on the dash… thought it was needed because I swapped to an early dash and removed the passenger airbag, plus was planning to go Nardi for the drivers steering wheel and that has no airbag too. Cheers!!!
Hello, your videos are always a big help! I'm installing my cam gears and am doing my timing today, do the marks on the pulley wheels have to be a certain way when installing the cam gears? I have a cam locking tool and understand the wheels have marks to line up when setting the timing so I'm curious if they should be installed in a certain direction?
Hi Luke, I'm new to your channel, and I have a question, I have a Subaru WRX 2015 and the car has a weird noise when I start the engine in the morning or after the car has been stop for an hour. Any idea what could be wrong? Also if you have a shop? Thanks man.
When you sell this one you have gotta find a early wrx sti ra to import in, there still fairly cheap in Japan, would be a great addition to your Chanel, hope to see some more vids soon, cheers👍
Hello. Can you answer a question? What side of the radiator would the tranny fluid enter the radiator atf cooler? Both the inlet and outlet are on the bottom of the radiator either driver side or passenger side. Its a 2001 Forester L , 2.5 L Thanks in advance. Anybody?????????
Love the videos keep them up!! Quick question im looking to replace the coolant bypass pipping under intake manifold on my 2004 subaru wrx have you done that or any advice
This channel is awesome,, most Subaru content creators are trying to make 800 hp (just for clout) or sell something that’s pointless ( decrease reliability) Content that you are putting out are actually useful and educational.. Thank you 🙏 ❤😊
Thanks! Doing good, just finished my first semester getting my PhD in Automotive Engineering from Clemson University. Learning a ton, doing cool innovation research, gonna put up some content in the new year!!! Thanks for checking in on me 👊
This is ah GM6. Ppl always say GC8 when referring tae ah 2-door 1st gen Impreza, But tha 2-door coupe is ah GM2 (Brighton) GM4 (L/LX) GM6 (RS) GM8 (WRX/STI). 4-door sedan is ah GC2 (Brighton) GC4 (L/LX) GC6 (RS) GC8 (WRX/STI). Ye can find every chassis code on tha VIN plate. It will say JF1GM6 on yer vehicle. :) Ah have an 01 Impreza RS that has been fully restored an covered to wha ppl call an RSTI but ma VIN starts wae JF1GC6. Every single 93-01 Impreza 1st gen is all JF1(Chassis code). Sorreh, it jus bugs me when ppl dinnae get that right as ah Subaru enthusiast.
So this one is an L . No sunroof . GM4 it literally says it in the VIN plate. So how is this a GM6? It shouldnt bother u as an enthusiast if people get it wrong. Lol calling you out because you dont know your imprezas lol "enthusiast". I think not
Looks muy bueno. Watching your engine removal videos. Have the 2006 sti with clutch issues. Haven't decided if I should do myself or not. Options are $650 labor at a tranny shop, pull engine or tranny myself. Just ordered Exedy clutch kit stage 1 with flywheel. 69 retired ,bum lowerback, arthritis on my hands with diabetis. Otherwise all good no worries. I do have a 1 ton engine hoist , engine leveler, and scizzer tranny jack, plus 3 floor jacks. Paz y salud
Bro you got to start making more videos again
The only channel that actually helped me to remove intake manifold from my '05 STi because of simple steps!
I like the IAG AOS since unlike a catch can its a matter of installing it and forget it. Does it's job without having to empty the catch cans. The Cobb one is a nice one also.
I agree. Those are two of the best on the market!
@@SubaruONLY the Cobb I read is better for stringent emissions requirements States like CA. But it's more expensive.
@@cctrans29 can’t go wrong with COBB - I agree! Everything they make is ultra high quality.

Dude! Thanks and that’s awesome 👍 Hope all is well for you!!!
Lovely as always. Great resto done on the car, can't wait to do a venture like this!
👍
I was wondering where you went
👊
Where did you get the seats? The original seats that came out of my car had the same hole in the same spot. Doubt it’s the same seat but that’d be wild if it was lol
Welcome back
Thanks brother!!!
How much did this paint job cost? It looks great
Bro where are you moving to? Plz don’t tell me you’re done making videos too 😭
Nah, never done! Moving to Auburn, CA area. New chapter will bring new content for sure.
@@SubaruONLY that’s great to hear, I’m about an hour from auburn (beautiful city). Can’t wait for new content 👍
Awesome - gotta finally pull together the SubaruONLY cruise one day soon for all the Sac town people!!!
@@SubaruONLY yes plz 🙏
My absolute dream car. Very tasteful restoration
Thanks!!!
Love how much you have progressed with this. I'm sure I still have a pair of fog lights stored if you could use them. Come off a 98 and we now have a 2007 Hawkeye. Don't think it's the crystal lights though.
Where did you get the front grille and badge? Looks so good.
Subaru dealer special order 👌
car looks amazing, good job Luke.
Thanks!!!
What are L coupes/ 2.5rs coupes going for these days? Avg condition, no accident history, minimal (if no rust). Looking at importing one into australia at the moment as we only got sti coupes in australia and they're $60,000 minimum.
Manuals go for $7k+ range min. Autos closer to 4-5k min.
Where have you been?
Working on a comeback… 👊
do u have a video of rebuilding a ps rack? your such an inspiration bro i want to specialize in restoring old and unique cars and Im starting with Subaru be safe out there
Thank you brother! Don’t have a video of that ps rebuild - but not a bad idea!!!
Luke how’s it going, do you know anything about tuning, I’ve just built a new engine for my Subaru, 207 STI block with 205 heads, TGV deletes, KnN air induction kit, TD5 20g turbo, 800cc injectors, decat exhaust.

Big fan love the channel ❤
Questions. Have you considered the benefits of the use of an AOS on Subarus? I installed one on my WRX. And has really helped with the adding oil between changes.
Yes, using an AOS is a must for Subarus. Lots of great options out there. Which one do you like most?
2.5 Impreza rs 2003 when timming belt goes out will the valves get damaged or if the motor still runs will it be ok
We are ready for the next video 😁
I hear yea!!! I’m getting settled after a big move but I’m due for sure!!!! Still got my 98 RS and now have a sick 08 Fozzy with overland vibes 👌👌👌
I’ll buy it is it sold
Absolutely love your channel. One day I would hope to get something you have restored or find one very similar as a 4dr version. Great stuff as always!
Thanks buddy. Appreciate the kind words!!!
That is beautiful. Where did you find all the trim for it?
sheesh i have a green RS i've been restoring but its costly, i wasn't planning on going to this level but this is one hell of a good lookin car all things said. I also was on the fence about the jdm tails but wow. good work
Car looks great, would have definitely considered this if I saw this before I just bought my GF8.
Thanks, cheers!!!
R u done with suabru ? Haven't seen you post anything recently
I got the same model of 1996 subaru impreza L coupe in 14 years ago. My first subaru ever. Good memories. And now i got 2 subarus. Is the 2006 impreza sti, and 2019 subaru ascent limited two got turbo charged engines. As a subaru diehard fan I love your show keep it up and take care. 😊
Why did it have a black tape in the cluster ?!?!? 👀👀
Ahhh. You caught that buddy - Nice eye! Added that little strip to cover the Airbag indicator on the dash… thought it was needed because I swapped to an early dash and removed the passenger airbag, plus was planning to go Nardi for the drivers steering wheel and that has no airbag too. Cheers!!!
Any mod to make the obs mudflaps to fit? It looks great!
Nope, they bolt right up using factory holes! Cheers!!!
@@SubaruONLY where do i find a set? :)
I found a clean set at a local junk yard. Don’t think they sell these through dealer any longer.
@@SubaruONLY did they come as an option for the usdm imprezas?
Yes, and on all Outback Sport models.
u back😍😍😍 awesome 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
hallo from Austria🇦🇹
Where were you able to source new plastic exterior parts ?
Dealerships around US.
Didn’t know that was possible, thanks for sharing !
👊
Also eBay, but search the UK and Japan eBay too, not just the US version.

Thanks buddy! It’s one of my favs for sure!!!
FIY those smokes lens headlights are trash. Fogs up quick since it leaks.
Good heads up. Maybe pull the lens off and reseal before they fog up???

Nice! 👍

This is true. There is a breakdown as well if you search on the rs25 forum. It's only in Japan/import impreza that GC stands for an impreza coupe.

@@UnreachableSwagger Excuse me? Ah've owned round 12 subarus an owned 7 at one time.
I’ll sell you my 2001 Subaru 2.5 rs sedan .. only if you could give me a offer I can’t refuse
Gc8 coupe is a direct contradiction
The “8” in GC8 is referencing the engine class, not the body class… as far as I understood it. Maybe I’m wrong.
@@SubaruONLY nothing to do with the engine it's the bodycode gc is 4 door gm is coupe the last digit is the series 8 being the final for that chassis
