Building a Timeless Subaru WRX STI: The First Start
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2023
- This has to be the most flawless first start we have had on any of the cars. Literally, no issues at all fired right up, and wants to live again! I am shooting to get the car tuned within the next two weeks, get it painted, and wrap up any residual things that need to be done. I am taking the 07 STI down to California in 4 weeks so I am trying to get this thing wrapped up ASAP.

I may be free on the 13th, if so I'd be down to swing out 👀
The beginning of the video vlog...I felt that.
Take care of yourself Tanner. 🥰
Sometimes we need a fresh start 🫡
Ive never seen regamasters on a Hawkeye. Soooo freaking good!!!
10/10 on the hawkeye, the look so good on this body style with the flares 😍
Possibly the best looking chassis for wrx/Sti. Simple yet aggressive
Can't go wrong with a older GD chassis 😍
And GD's are about to hit the 20th anniversary of when they csme to the U.S.!!!!! THAT..my friends is an important milestone, 2024 is the year GD'S SKYROCKET, in value.
I spent several years in Washington State mostly in Bremerton. I learned a couple things...1) If there's no rain for a week then there is a water crisis; and 2) There are two seasons - Rainy season and August.
This is thee most accurate statement 😂
“It’s not really a car I can just start and turn off.” 😆 Truth! My wife would roll her eyes every time I told her that when I had my RX8. 😂
The rotarys nerd a little extra attention 😅 they don't like to start stop lol
Merry Christmas tanner! Love your content, just became a subi owner a few months ago I said I’d never own one but since day one I’ve been in love with it can’t wait to get enough money saved to start building it thanks for all your knowledge
looks great, the flares gonna look awesome when you paint it🔥
hawkeye is in my biased opinion the prettiest of it generation.
cant wait to fix my hawkeye, timing belt snapped yesterday, so yeah 🫣
Everything happens for a reason Tanner, keep your head up, strong work and have fun, be well as always and thanks for all the great content, still learning. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁.
Car looks freaking sick man! Happy christmas dude!
Thanks dude 🙌 hope you have a good holiday 🥳🥳🥳
Damn, dude. You weren't kidding AT ALL when we talked about the close proximity of the Cosworth manifold vs AMS. I'd never get a stock location 3" inlet seated. Cosworth does look damn nice, tho....
Really happy to hear you’re keeping the silver. Silver fd is an all time bucket list car for me.
I was trying to hold off on painting it for a bit but it needs it bad 😅 plus the silver looks so good!
Congratulations buddy!!! She’s a beauty 🍻 sounds amazing, can’t wait to see some numbers!
Thank you 🎉 should hopefully fall right in that 400-450 range 🥳
Merry Christmas brother, you are doing the Lord's work!
Florida has nice weather and a huge youtube racing community. Drag and drives, dynos everywhere.
Merry Christmas! Love the build.
Merry Christmas 🥳🥳
Hey smeedia, longtime fan here, I would love to see you go do things that make you happy, as you have worked hard to keep us happy 😊 sometimes too hard and I think you deserve some fun:-) anyways excited for you! Happy holidays 🎉
I’m excited for you man!
Best of luck. Your mental health and relationships are the most important and I’m happy to hear you’re investing in them.
You’re the man!
Sometimes we gotta put the time into ourselves 🙌🫡
I get it. I'm currently in the process of moving from Massachusetts to Phoenix. I've been here for 4 years, half of them during the pandemic. Prior, I was in Alaska. I've been chasing the sun. I hope y'all land somewhere that allows you to thrive with the youthfulness you still have. We're the same age and I still feel like there's more to experience for sure!
Thanks for the content and updates!
merry Christmas man thanks for all your hard work and entertainment
Merry Christmas Ian 🥳
Been waiting for this day, sounds great and looks even greater. You have done a marvellous job on this ride. I wish that you were
selling this one, I might be interested. It's set up just the way that I like, built to last. Have a great Xmas & Happy holiday.
Thing is slowly coming together 🥳 super happy with how it is coming along. I regret selling the others 😅 (except the 04) so planning to hold onto this one 🥳
Have a good Christmas and a happy new year 🥳
Loving the voiceover sections!
🎉🎉 Happy Holidays! Awesome work with the Hawkeye.
Happy Holidays Omi 🥳 and thank you 🙌🙌
Such a nice Subie man! Great job there bro..!!! I’ll be following for sure..😉
Enjoy it!
Thanks for putting this up on Christmas,was a good present😂
Merry xmas bud,thanks for all your humour and car know how during the year
Merry Christmas my man 🙌🫡
dude this thing is soooo sick, cant wait to see the final product.
Once it's painted and the extior is all clean and done up. Thing should look 🔥😍
Merry Christmas dorky Tanner
Happy new years too ❤🎉
Merry chrysler and happy new years 🥳
Excited for your new direction… I really love this Hawkeye build!!!
Hawk is coming out nice 🥳
Merry Christmas to you and yours brother!!!
Merry Christmas Daniel 🥳
The hawk looking good with the white wheels and the flares kinda make me want em on mine
Kareltons with some good fitting wheels look so good on these things 😍 can't wait to see it fully paint matched 🥳
Subie 07 looking bad ass brotha. Merry Christmas
Thanks duuuude. Merry Christmas 🙌
Awesome your thinking of relocating.
It will open up opportunities and rejuvenate your mind.
100% sometimes a fresh start is needed 🙌
I feel you in the "dont have many friends" area. I work alot and then do my best to keep the XT going but also its been hard trying to make friends. Hard to trust people but im trying to allow myself to let people in. I hope you get some time to enjoy some time and hopefully have a fun road trip. Im in North Everett but not far if you ever want to chat.
the wheel fitment is perfect 🤤
Fits like a glove 😍
Merry Christmas!!!!!!
Merry Christmas Jacob 🥳🥳🥳
Love this car ! Great video man even if i dont comment i watch every video :)
Sir, you are my hero!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Jason 🎉
@@Smeedia its Janos, but you got close enough!
Another great vid. Good luck with the mmmoooove! The importance of having homies close-by cannot be understated.
Big facts 🫡 all the car homes live elsewhere 😅
Love the wheels
Congrats on the relocation decision. WA is very scenic but man that rain. Ps the hawk is looking and sounding great! Love the brap brap brap from the FD! ☄️
Thanks Dennis! The hawk is getting there. Excited to get it back to 100% 🥳
You ever think about locating to southern California? The subie scene out here is large.
I hope those changes will make you feel better in the long run. It's important to put yourself first otherwise you wont be here for the channel🚀
Never forget how much value you bring to us and we appreciate🤝
Merry christmas 🚗💥💨🔥
Move to DFW or OKC area, I’ll be your friend 😎 lol. Lifelong Texan but been working in Oklahoma and have fallen in love with it. Plus the housing market is way more reasonable. Love the content as always! Another STI back to life!! Merry Christmas bro!!
Do what you need to do, Tanner! I completely understand the want/need to relocate to someplace better in terms of weather and people
Sometimes a fresh start somewhere new is a good thing 🥳
Tanner... Florida... central is still financially feasible and the car scene is wild and you have other big youtuber and others who are just starting their youtube adventure... 😅... well where ever you go we are with you at least virtually🎉
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you take some time off and recharge. I would love to see the rx7 race against your wrx thats be dope.
Merry Christmas 🥳🥳🥳
RX7 vs the world 😅
Merry Chrisless 🫡😂
Happy Chrysler 😅
Enjoy your Christmas holiday, much love
Hope you have a good holiday as well 🥳
Happy Christmas Eve duder!
Merry Chrysler eve Joseph 🙌🥳
Its so beautiful. I wish to own a STI one day. Come to STL and lmk what 22 parts I can have for my birthday ❤
All the best Tanner, get yourself in the right place mate.
Much love brotha. Happy that you're making action to take care of yourself. If you're ever out in Wisconsin (lmao) , hit me up, id love to hang out and turn some wrench's with ya.
You made me decide on regas for my bug now👍
Can't go wrong with Regas 🫣 I'm glad I finally found a home for them on one of these things 😅
Happy Holidays Tanner! 🎉
Happy holidays 🥳🥳🥳
sand anodizing off past weld area, then weld like norml. you can weld straight to anodizing but you have to punch through the oxide. aluminum melts at 1700f and oxide is like 3000f. set your machine to 200amp(max it) then full throttle till you make a puddle then dab, let off and let the puddle cool. hit again and repeat (core idea is to liquify all of the oxides per pulse). takes practice and if you can, set frequency to around 100hz helps. built a few boat towers and live guard towers thats what i ran. if you want more in-depth pointers let me know.
Love your videos!
Appreciate the support 🫡🥳
Florida! Huge car mod state and no lame laws
Looks amazing
Thing is coming out nice 🎉
Awesome job Smeedy! And merry xmas dude. :)
Merry Christmas 🥳🥳
looks awesome Tanner..can't wait to project my bug eye
Gotta keep the GDs alive 🙌🙌🙌
Move to FL!!
I just moved back to Central FL like 3 years ago. It's not as bad as everyone says and don't have to worry about those yearly emissions checks.
I also feel that comment about having no friends. It's hard one to find time with a family but find someone who has same values and interests as you.
You're always welcome here in Oklahoma City we have a massive subie community where along with Misfire Motorsports you should definitely try to stop by okc on your road trip
And yes we miss matt! Hope he is finding joy in whatever it is he's doing! And DO NOT sell the rs. Pleeasseee 😢
That's one of the few that are staying 🫡
Yo if you figure out the dash light situation please put it in a vid! I have the same issue with my 04 Sti where all the lights are on but it's perfectly operational. Merry Christmas buddy! Love the content! You're a huge inspiration!
I have a few ideas but I'll get it on video 🫡 merry Christmas Tyler 🥳
Regamasters on this car are soooo 🔥 makes it pop
So fitting for the Era 🙌🙌🙌
Bro you should try to come to the south towards Tennessee perfect weather great driving roads perfect middle ground area for car enthusiast as there are very lenient emissions regs here would be perfect for you on that aspect plus theres tons of events out this way between gatlinburg nashville knoxville memphis atlanta and alot of small town things and theres a massive subaru community out here as well also alot of opportunities for business
Come to Florida would be great to hang with you Man and learn you are awesome man look forward to where the future will take u man.
Idk if I'd wanna live down south again 😅 lived in Louisiana for a few years and that hot sticky heat suuuucked 😅
exhaust sounds really good
Not too loud and sounds mint 🔥🥳
@@Smeedia thats perfect!
I just replaced my power steering pump today on my 2019 STI. Small wins are better than no progress. This hawk eye looks good...
Take em when you get em 🙌🔥
@smeedia love the videos, have watched everyone for the last year give or take, and they way you teach is fantastic, would you buy chance so us how to hook up the vacuum block, there not alot of info and I want to clean up my bay, thxs
Well if you decide to come to Utah, we’d be happy to have ya
Merry Christmas Tanner! keep it up the good work
Also I recommend nevada! I live in reno but I recommend carson city. It's super affordable we get all the seasons but not crazy snow and the car scene is great. There's also race tracks near by. Drag and road course
Also no emissions to worry about in Carson city
Sounds like a solid place! Wmmisions is something that definitely needs to be taken into account so good to hear 🔥
Almost forgot to mention, we have summit racing, turn 14 distribution and great driving roads. If its something youre interesed in we can have a chat and i can try selling you on it@@Smeedia
Come on down to Texas! Great place in terms of car laws! Fastest speed limits in the states. Some cheap housing in some places. Cool car shows and we'll be your friends! Haha
I feel like it would be remiss of me if I didn't mention that you have the perfect place for AWD. Being able to send it in any weather, when all the others are struggling to keep traction.... Gold.
Totally get being near to like minded friends. I miss my car club (Nissan S chassis) buddies from England. We always did stuff together and installed parts together. I owe so much to my friends. Being in PA now... I just don't have that anymore.
Have a great Christmas dude… Santa already hit Australia … 🙌🏻
Merry Christmas! Hope it was good for ya'll 👀
Come to AZ! Haha always subie weather here!
I used to live down in the sierra vista area, definitely miss that weather 😅
What a cool build! Because of your videos Subarus don’t really scare me as much anymore lol as I now own one 😅
They're not too bad, the internet definitely makes em seem worse than they actually are 😅
@@Smeedia 😆 I can agree with that!
Bro…. Come to Colorado…
There are so many Subarus on the road and it’s such a vibe out here. We got Funk-e-built down in the springs and Flat Irons up on boulder for starters. 2 of the fastest Subarus in the world come from those 2 shops!
Id 100% tag along on a Smeedia cruise/meet up
Merry xmas Tanner!
Merry Christmas 🥳
Love it!!
🫡🫡🫡
we love GDs we love GDs
GD on top 👾
bro i KNOW that 2.5rs is going, right? sad to see but honestly probably for the best lmfao. best of luck man, happy holidays. to growth.
Tanner, man. i participate in grassroots Rallycross and Autocross, heck ive meet ya a couple of times. You're a smart guy that builds wild things, and i think you'd defiantly benefit from coming out to events, and letting some of us show you how much fun we have absolutely sending the crap out of our cars, some of which are our dailys!!!! Heck, Bring the VB out to an AutoX event and try it out!!!!! Im racing up at Evergreen Speedway Dec 31st for the last Autox of the year, and im inviting you, just come out man. its $20 for a pit pas and you can ride with all the knuckle heads sending their cars and meet a ton of new people. Let us show you some awesome things man. i think id do you a lot of good. Stay strong man, you got this.
Yet another great vid. What state are You wanting to be in?
Come to Northern NV. Would love to work on cars with you!
Are you doing the front bumper extensions for the flares? Feels incomplete without those. I like the idea of mixing up the content and actually getting out of the garage once in a while.
Smeedia! HeavymetalWRX!
Where awais at 👀
@@Smeedia I think heavymetalwrx will see this comment 😆
I hope you go to Spokane. Then my favorite RUclipsrs would all be in one spot; you, Devin, and Josh!
Spokane is on the top of the list right now 👀
Yeahh the flares look cool Tanner. 😅 oh yeahhhh.
Kareltons with some good OG wheels are 🔥🔥🔥
@Smeedia Looks good, brother. A great build so far on the 2007 STI.
stop calling the pumps walbureau hahaha. pronounced: "wall-bro" 🤣🤣love how this car is turning out.
I said I'd only say it the right way once 😂😅
Move to Florida! No emissions! Excellent “winter” weather! Sitting on sea level so your car makes more power at less boost! CMON!!!! 😂
Currently 71 degrees on Xmas eve ;)
I used to live in Louisiana I remember that hot sticky southern heat 😅
Low key miss it 😅
@@Smeedia oh yeah for sure. Feels like when you do laundry…once it’s out of the washer it goes to the dryer. About half way through the dryer cycle, open the dryer and stick your head in there. About the same. Hot and humid 😅
She's beautiful. Also are you keeping the flares two-toned ? Cause it looks sick! We also miss Matt.
So awesome 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
🥳🥳🥳
Come to Wilmington NC I’ll be your friend :)
A little father than were looking 😅
I LOVE the regas on the GD, what specs are those?? Just curious because I’m about to start looking for my first GD and I’m obsessed with those wheels & flares 😍
They're 18x10.5 +15 on 265/35/18 🫡
Hey Tanner, love your stuff and how helpful it is. Out of curiosity, I see this 07 sti is on the AP, you have tgv deletes but no check engine lights. How can I properly run tgv deletes on AP without throwing codes?
I see Spokane in the near future? Hang out with Devin, Remy, Beau, Bader, Jared, Bobbi, and all the other homies. Would be sick bro! Happy for you, merry Xmas!
Spokane is on the top of the list 👀 merry Christmas Hugo🙌
@@Smeedia ayyyyyyyy
Well I know last year you had commented back to me and said that you were considering Arizona and I have since moved so I hope it’s not there lol jk do what is best for you man and AZ is great for getting outdoors year round
I prefer all black accents, but the white is also cool. I will probably never have an STI, but there are at least 2 subarus i'd like to STI swap someday in the probably distant future.
Which two? 👀👀👀
@@Smeedia An 2005 legacy (my first car) and a 2003 wrx or just impreza. There are more that I think would be pretty cool, but those are the first two.
@@swoosh8474Personally, I'd love to see an STI swapped 2006 Turbo Baja. They share the same platform as the Legacy Outback, so it's very doable.
@@LarsonPetty that's cool
I too would like to move away from where i'm living so i can focus on myself and my project car. Mainly i want to keep my loved ones at a safe distance to my insanity when it comes to stress when researching/ working on my car. 😔
Hey smeedia love the video!!!! Keep it up!!
One question if it’s not to much to ask
I have a 2001 Sti runs great low kms I noticed it is only reaching 8psi and online says it should be reaching anywhere from 17-19psi what could be causing that any advice would be much much appreciated!!!
Do you have a video of changing crank position sensor? Bank 1? On driver side?
