Tanner, I am living vicariously through you! Thanks for the journey and the destination is far from over. I have a full-time university job and will start my passion of cars next year when I get another house with a garage :) Peace!
Man I gotta share, I just went on a marathon with a ton of your videos. Getting my 2020 STI this Friday, and I just went down a rabbit hole with your vids. Awesome content! Keep up the great work please, much appreciated.
@@Smeedia Oh I will for sure man. I will have questions, but I know a lot of your past vids answer most of those. Enjoy the creativity on addressing issues, both pros and cons, that the new Subaru owners will have. Thanks again 🤙
You and Karma have done great things! It was watching you work on and struggle with Karma that tipped me over the edge into getting a GD chassis STi and I don't regret it at all. Thanks @smeedia and Karma, looking forward to what more you both bring to the channel going forward!
This is by far most satisfied video of an STI The emotion that you had when you drove it after all the work you have put is, is exactly how i would feel at your place Am happy to see the build from start and to see the whole thing compiled I love you man. Love your content and Lots of love to Karma Waiting to get my hands on one soon
Out of all the channels and builds I follow, Karma has to be my number 1 favorite build I've been following, love absolutely everything you've done with it man. Can't wait to see if you decide to have more in store for her!
This is such a sick car, the transformation has been a ride forsure. I'm going through the process myself with my 05 fxt I have huge plans for her. I love watching the channel, I hope to start one myself someday. Enjoy the car man.
I’ve been watching you since you were doing basic maintenance tutorials and bolt on vids. You have come a long way my friend. I’m proud of what you’ve accomplished and I can’t wait to keep watching you grow as a mechanic and a RUclips personality. Keep the great content coming. I look forward to it every week. 👌🏼👏🏼
Appreciate the continued support Stephen! Definitely come a long way from being lost on injector installs to where we are now. Can't wait to see what the future holds and where we go next ❤🔥
Great job Tanner!!! Karma is what brought me back to your channel, as I had just bought a high mileage 05 as well, and dude Karma is sweet. Looking forward to your new BRZ content. And I guess WOOO!!!
Brother from start to finish you have done a great job with this monsta. Oh yeahhhh. I'm upset I'm going to miss Subie Fest this year. Right in my state California. Next year. If you make have fun. Stay safe brother. A great video.
Loved watching you build it and the process over months you done to the car. Pretty unique that you’ve done all the work you conceivably could, yourself. Mad props🤟
SO sick! Loved this edit and watching all your videos the whole time Karma was being built! Quite the daily driver! Can't wait for more awesome vids! So dope!
Started watching from you starting to build original blue sti before you wrapped it grey, it’s amazing how far something goes. Love the vids bud keep up the work!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you and appreciate the support, cars taught me a ton about mechanics and how to work on them. She's come a long way but can't wait for thr next build 🔥
Dude I can’t say anything different than anyone else, Karma is sick! I brought my 08 WRX home bout the same time you picked up Karma. I didn’t know a thing about Subarus or tuners in general, but through watching your videos and following the build I can say I’ve learned A LOT! Stoked to see everything working out for you and pumped for what’s to come. Keep on keepin on… Joe Dirt said that. 😉😂
Absolutely beautiful compilation man, she is amazing and the monster I dream to have one day. Thank you for showing and sharing the journey with us all and showing you can do it in your own garage and how to do it. Karma is many of our spirt animals
Man your videography has come leaps and bounds. Love the extra little bits that were B roll/extra footage. And every time music is on point. Glad you can say you're happy with her now but we all know kharma. Can't wait to see her IRL at Subiefest.
@@Smeedia You really put so much hard work into this, congratulations! I have some confidence with working on my 05 sti, but I'm way too scared to touch anything inside the block. Watching your videos really gives me inspiration 🙌
It's been fun watching you build Karma. what a GREAT video love the music. Job well done if I do say so myself. Looking forward to your 2017 STI running that thing will be a BEAST !!!!! Do you have a name for it yet ????
That was a fun trip down memory lane lol Tho she's been a kick in the Nethers, 12:40 and 12:46 she gave some payoff for sticking it out with her 😉 Great editing great production man!
This edit is 🔥 felt like the time has flown by since it was the first day you got her. Karma looks incredible. Since watching your channel since way back it's given me so much confidence when working on my own car. Things like rotor and pad changes, installing an AOS on a few of my friend's car as well as my own to even working on clutches. Owe it to you 🙏 can't wait for the 17 Sti to have a video like this.
The possibly unhealthy amount of blood sweat and tears (don’t forget the swearing) you’ve put into that car just proves that no matter how hard life is,you can still make things work if you just keep trying and don’t give up! Karma has had an incredible glow up and I’m excited to see what adventures you take her on. #KarmaGang 💛💛💛💛
Tanner you have moved to another level. Keep at it, you’re going to be surprised where this leads, (I know these kind of things, don’t ask). Must admit though, miss the black or I’m reading your mind. . .
Hey Tanner. I would really appreciate your advise on this. There’s a ton of opinions online but I trust yours on this one for sure. I live in Maui, no dynos, no E85, no pro tuners, just E tune and 92 octane. I’m about to buy an AP for my 2018 STI. And I’m curious if I should get a downpipe and AP, or an intake and AP? I’m on stock fuel system so I know I can’t do both, and I want induction noise more than a loud exhaust. My long term HP goals for the car are around 350whp. Because there are no shops here to help me with a build there’s only the Subaru dealership. It’s also my daily (I have a motorcycle tho)so I need to be conservative. I know this is a long message but I’d really like your thoughts on this one. I’m just curious on the best bang for buck first step for power mods. I already have a invidia cat back installed too BTW. Thanks so much for your time🤙 I love your content.
In my honest opinion If you want an intake and a downpipe I highly highly advise swapping fuel system parts. Last thing you'd want is it to hit a lean spot in boost due to lack of fuel and killing your engine 😣
So Sick! Are you gonna be putting her on a dyno? I know you did the virtual dyno with the e-tune.. but is she gonna go full beans on the rollers?! haha
I wish my build only took 15 minutes! Currently going on 3 months with my engine rebuild. I've had to place my "last" order and do "final" assembly about 4 times now. Maybe 5th will be the last!
Hold on... I noticed you didn't touch the bottom end at all. Didn't notice new cams either. Am I missing something or did you make 450whp on a pretty much stock engine?? 🤯 absolutely beautiful build man, really got me excited to get my own!
id love to be able to work with you and learn my car better and just to build it my wrx, i could learn a lot from you and ive learned a lot from just watching all your subaru builds i know this video is old but i just wanted to say you really are the best to watch
Hey question about exhausts. So my catback has a resonator. If I get a j pipe for my 2019 wrx without a resonator will there be a lot of drone? I was looking at ETS new gesi catted j pipe and also wasn't sure about a gesi j pipe vs a normal catted j pipe. Please inform me lol. Also I love the sti build videos!
It will be drones at highway speeds but not causing around town. I would get the Gesi, they flow much better for when you really wanna start pushing the car
@@Smeedia from his videos he gas a place lined up. Looks like the timing might match up well. Would love to see the 17 on the rollers and have him tune it. So much great content between yours and his channel. These collaborations really show what the subaru community are about. 🙏
Any tips on building a JDM EJ205 engine? I have basic bolt on stuff now and wanting to turn it up lol I want 450 but he'll if I can get more then I'll take it lol 😆
@@Smeedia lmao 🤣 you got this man 🙌🏽💪🏽. In all seriousness great work and I love seeing your builds. I'm looking into getting my first subie and you're one of the reasons why. Great work my guy!!
I’m thinking bout doing a blob eye conversion on my bug eye but I’ve heard bugeyes are going to be worth more because of the limited years they were produced Apparently around my rocket cover is wet And there’s something leaking that’s dripping onto my exhaust idk where to look How many mm where those flares? Are they from ABW?
@@Smeedia ah ok I’ve wrapped the wheels in 225/40/18 so I’ll just go from the fender to the lip! You’ve got an email I’ll show you how my poke looks I really think it’s the same as yours! Dang it
Hi, I saw you had the wideband lambda on the downpipe at the same position as me when you got the stock turboplacement. Are you burning through sensors like a mad man? I have an innovate mtx-l with bosch 4.2 sensor and I´m at my 4th sensor in 6000km (370miles). You have the AEM right? Is it the uego x-series? Is it better than innovate? I just want something that works :-)
@@Smeedia so do you think the 4.9 sensor and aem gauge could last longer than 100miles? 😄 I have a grimmspeed dp and the sensor is located 12 oclock and 70mm from the turbo. Not the best placement, should be a bit further down I guess.
Bro as much I love your channel I don't know if I hate you for what you do man you got a nice car just like the brz you going to sell your sti I fallow you and can wait for the next video because of you I am getting a 2021 wrx sti because you give up again I give up on my swap still love your channel but I'm hurt is not sense to build a car if someone else going to enjoy and not suffer what you went through dame you but love you thank for your channel
Congrats on the 21 STI, Great purchase. But I've never given up on any of my builds. I've always completed them, I'll never keep a car forever especially with using tbr cars to make videos with. From a business standpoint it's not a good choice to keep 1 car and continue trying to pull videos from it. We've done everything I've wanted to with the car and time to move onto something new 💪
Hey man this is just a random question but do you recommend sticking will all Subaru oil? I have a 2009 wrx narrow body with 88,000 miles on it. I need to top off my power steering and do a oil change. What do you recommend?
Hey smeedia, I have 2013 wrx hatchback manual and the engine went out. I have warranty but they are only going to pay 3500 for engine and turbo. Mechanic said most likely the warranty won’t cover it due to corrosion. So what I’m trying say I’m paying 12,000 for engine, turbo and clutch. Should I let the car go or pay for it plus I’m still paying the bank. I owe 18k. I can’t afford all this you got any suggestions
Corrosion? Wtf I'd look for a new mechanic. Sounds like an excuse. I've replace plenty of blown engine cars and never once has corrosion been an issue. Realalisticlly you can get an RA block for $2,000, gasket and seal kit for $300 and you'd have labor on top of that. Where are you located? If local to me I'll help you out and cut you a deal on the rebuild labor cost
It wasn’t the mechanic it was warranty. It’s called alpha warranty they told me if inside of the engine had corrosion Tyne wouldn’t pay and I told them it’s a 2013 car it’s old. So the mechanic told me it’s 12,000 job and engine and turbo together only cover 3,500 n there is more into it but I don’t think I’m going to get it done. How much can I sell the car with a messed up engine. Man I’m pretty fucked on this one
@@Smeedia 101k. I think I’m just going to leave it in non-op n pay monthly payments until I finish paying 18k to the bank. But if u know any mechanics near Covina let me know.
Tanner, I am living vicariously through you! Thanks for the journey and the destination is far from over. I have a full-time university job and will start my passion of cars next year when I get another house with a garage :) Peace!
Thanks for coming along! And don't blame you one bit, having a garage makes all the difference 🔥😁

Gotta save the GD chassis 🔥❤
Boy, that's a lot of work we've watched. Glad Karma finally makes u smile. The onramp to freeway clips are the best.
She pulls sooooo got damn hard 😳
Underated Channel ! Quality of video is great. Passion and Knowledge and OCD is there! Subbed! from Singapore
Eyyyy thank you and appreciate the support 🔥
This is by far most satisfied video of an STI

I thought the defective oil pan would be replaced by Killer B. Well, Kyle’s welding skills are top notch!
They want me to mail it back but it's like $100 in shipping alone 😤
That shipping is costly! Good thing Kyle can assist you.
What did you use on the dash to get it to look like that I neeeeed to do this
Flock 🙏

@@Smeedia thank you💜
BROOOOOOOOO i passed by you the other day in my cappuccino!
Where?! 🔥 I would never miss a cappuccino!
Jason! Lol for some reason YT keeps gagging your reply buy I got you 🔥🙌
Hi,
I saw you had the wideband lambda on the downpipe at the same position as me when you got the stock turboplacement. Are you burning through sensors like a mad man? I have an innovate mtx-l with bosch 4.2 sensor and I´m at my 4th sensor in 6000km (370miles). You have the AEM right? Is it the uego x-series? Is it better than innovate? I just want something that works :-)
Great channel btw! Love your content
I use Bosch sensors with thr AEM wideband. The AEM sensors don't lady Long at all 😣
@@Smeedia so do you think the 4.9 sensor and aem gauge could last longer than 100miles? 😄
I have a grimmspeed dp and the sensor is located 12 oclock and 70mm from the turbo. Not the best placement, should be a bit further down I guess.
It should without issue, mine never burnt up
@@Smeedia thanks, I'll try it. This drives me and my wallet (wife) crazy 🤣
Bro as much I love your channel I don't know if I hate you for what you do man you got a nice car just like the brz you going to sell your sti I fallow you and can wait for the next video because of you I am getting a 2021 wrx sti because you give up again I give up on my swap still love your channel but I'm hurt is not sense to build a car if someone else going to enjoy and not suffer what you went through dame you but love you thank for your channel
Congrats on the 21 STI, Great purchase. But I've never given up on any of my builds. I've always completed them, I'll never keep a car forever especially with using tbr cars to make videos with. From a business standpoint it's not a good choice to keep 1 car and continue trying to pull videos from it. We've done everything I've wanted to with the car and time to move onto something new 💪
does the IWG on the FP black come welded shut? or is that something you had to get done?
You can get them welded shut 🙏
I was so happy to see version 2 go in without that god awful gates timing belt 😂
Lol no more gates belts 🙅♂️
Hey man this is just a random question but do you recommend sticking will all Subaru oil? I have a 2009 wrx narrow body with 88,000 miles on it. I need to top off my power steering and do a oil change. What do you recommend?
Oil I don't use OEM but power steering and cooling system I do use OEM 🙏
@@Smeedia thank you! I think OEM oil should be fine for mine since it’s my daily and stock. But do you think I should use a high mileage one instead?
Hey smeedia,
I have 2013 wrx hatchback manual and the engine went out. I have warranty but they are only going to pay 3500 for engine and turbo. Mechanic said most likely the warranty won’t cover it due to corrosion. So what I’m trying say I’m paying 12,000 for engine, turbo and clutch. Should I let the car go or pay for it plus I’m still paying the bank. I owe 18k. I can’t afford all this you got any suggestions
Corrosion? Wtf I'd look for a new mechanic. Sounds like an excuse. I've replace plenty of blown engine cars and never once has corrosion been an issue.
Realalisticlly you can get an RA block for $2,000, gasket and seal kit for $300 and you'd have labor on top of that. Where are you located? If local to me I'll help you out and cut you a deal on the rebuild labor cost
It wasn’t the mechanic it was warranty. It’s called alpha warranty they told me if inside of the engine had corrosion Tyne wouldn’t pay and I told them it’s a 2013 car it’s old. So the mechanic told me it’s 12,000 job and engine and turbo together only cover 3,500 n there is more into it but I don’t think I’m going to get it done. How much can I sell the car with a messed up engine. Man I’m pretty fucked on this one
I live in California
That warranty company is ass and shouldent be making those calls. Sorry to hear dude, how many miles on the chassis?
@@Smeedia 101k. I think I’m just going to leave it in non-op n pay monthly payments until I finish paying 18k to the bank. But if u know any mechanics near Covina let me know.
is this the 6262 jb or bb ?
This is a 6062 BB 🙏
What kind of steering wheel is that?
Like DaBaby once said before he got canceled:
Lessssgooooo
Lesssssgooooi
Why did the 4 valves get bent?
Not sure. Bought it that way, guessing timing was off from whoever owned it prior
How much have you invested thus far turning it into this monster?
I think this build was around 20K or so
What oil do u use on your taxi car idk between xcess 5w30 or 300v
Tbh either of those are good options. Right now I have xcess in the car
@@Smeedia bet thx man
Deadly
🔥🔥🔥
I'll just say this.... "Daily" 🤣
Lol she still is 😅😅😅
