  • Something that is relatively cool with RUclips is the fact that we can document and cover everything that we do and build. Being able to take all of those videos and compile them into one shows a cool recap of what all takes place and goes into them. This is such a small segment of what went into this thing. But I hope you enjoy it. Here is building my 2017 Subaru WRX STI in 20 minutes.

      I love it. It’s obviously not the most practical car out there but it’s the driving experience for me. I like shifting the gears and the boxer engine sound. It has a few goodies like Cobb and exhaust and some minor cosmetic/paint issues but after watching all ur videos I’m confident in tacking some stuff in the summer. It’s had the timing belt done at a performance shop at 62 xxxkms and it’s only at 100xxx km. I think I did okay 25k Canadian and it’s the top model sunroof, sound system only 2015 tho so that’s the only lame part but I’m happy. Thanks for your reply!

    These are positive moments, the uplifting moments which should be celebrated. But the greatest learning comes from ............failure and what didn't work, what wrong turns were made, where setbacks were encountered or created by you or the actions of others. There are two sides to every coin.
    Discussing and showing "the dark side" of this build in a brief summary, with associated clips would garner a lot of interest.
    You could even rank the top ten things you would have done differently.
    Most of all though it is now time to enjoy the fruits of your hard labour. 👍

      @@Smeedia yes, but essentially you need a lot of documents issued by the importer (in this case from Subaru) which certify that the vehicle with those modifications complies with all safety and emissions standards. these approvals exist without problems for classic accessories such as rims/tyres, mufflers/shock absorbers but when you go for heavier and more structural modifications it becomes difficult for the authorities to accept and furthermore it is very expensive.
