This is inspiring, I've been putting 90 percent of every paycheck aside for my subie, it's looking like this spring I'll finnaly be getting my sti. I absolutely love the build, and all of the vlogs Eddie, keep moving forwards!
@@jeremyf7417 Looking for an sti off of insurance auctions! My dad is a mechanic, and I know my way around cars a bit, so I can save a whole lot of money, plus I can have quite a bit of a project 😏. Looking for anything 2004-2014 preferably...
Awesome build, man! 5 years is no doubt a huge commitment, & props to you for staying focused on what you wanted out of the car. Seeing you & your STi come so far is a huge inspiration for me!
Thanks soo much ... indeed this is pure inspiration. I'm planning to get mine in a few years to come. Still saving for the same. Regards from Nairobi, Kenya.
You and a few other people inspired me to actually purchase my Impreza WRX. I was able to find a low mileage completely stock Aspen white Hawkeye Subaru Impreza WRX Limited edition and I can't wait to start modifying it my way. I love your videos and your STI. I try and watch and support damn near every video you put out the quality is so good.🤙 Peace✌️
I have a Hawkeye too and it's the best! Got it earlier this year - managed to find a Limited in silver, mostly stock, with 100k miles. Best purchase of my life, love it so much
@@HighArchingCrests that's awesome man, that was one of my color choices as well.😊 Does yours have the tan leather door cards and seats? I'm curious because I've never seen them before. I was lucky enough to find one with 30,000 miles. It makes me smile every time I drive it. I can't wait to start modifying
@@billiamlivingston8531 my doors are grey/black and I have black leather. That's amazing that you found one with 30k in 2019, that's unheard of. Good luck with the build! I've been keeping it simple just maintaining the car - brakes, oil, and repairs from the last owner . About to drop $ for a cobb accessport and think about dyno before I think about other mods. Basically trying to make sure everything basic is in order before I go crazy and blow the motor by neglecting the essentials.
I'm new to Subaru. I drove one and felt like a very unique experience. Was into foxbody mustang s now I love awd rally cars. I got stuck in the snow and it was memorable. The more I learn the more I cant wait. Going for a WRX bug eye or blob--- Love this video!
I’m also running a black grimmspeed top mount and also have never noticed high intake temperatures even without a turbo blanket. It’s always cool to the touch and I’ve only seen temperatures a couple degrees higher than the outside even after long drives with many 24 psi pulls.
Officially started saving up for my blobeye sti today. I’m working part time as a waiter and have a long way to go. Your car is exactly how I dream of mine looking like.
This is insane!! Been watching the channel for a while now and I just love seeing the transformation! I have an 05 Sti and I hope to one day get my car to be on the same level as yours. Thank you for the videos and inspiration you bring for people like myself who have a love for Subaru!!!
It’s crazy. This car was my wallpaper on my pc for years and then I find you on here and after dreaming of owning one for so long I got myself a swapped gc coupe now.
10:20 Looks like you could benefit with a wheel alignment steering wheel looks off centre more to prevent shredding your tyres. But I maybe wrong as the road may be at a sloped for rain drainage. Before you take it in inspect inner/outer tie rods for any play & replace as a pair before getting alignment. Dont ask me how I know :)
My favorite car in the world is subaru and second is tesla. I love subaru because they look cool, they have much power, they are 4wd. Im 12 and i everyday i dream of having a subaru
This is actually one of the few Subarus I like! Looks really sick and besides the E85 slip-up, you took really good care of her considering the motor is well past 104,000 miles!
chuckled a bit. They look great lowered but... having trouble getting out of your driveway with a RALLY car, when I live off of two dirt roads... kinda got me lol. I can't wait to get a blob or bug myself and diy it up. Keepign it at the 5in average clearance since it matches the crv that handles the dirt roads well here. Such a cool machine. Only one above it for me is the golf r hatches cus those 2 doors make the wide stance of the hatch look insane (and i love hot hatches). Can't believe Toyota dropping them GR's on us in 2022, can't afford this cool shit lol
Just got a stage 2 upgrade with OTS tune on my 17, want to do uppipe, headers, flexfuel upgrade, turbo inlet, FMIC, and aftermarket turbo. I want to move away from it being my daily driver first though so I'm not killing the engine.
Best looking STI on RUclips!! Awesome build... my goal is something similar to yours I have a 2016 STI and I think I’ll be using your build as a guide bro! Keep uploading videos I never get tired of looking at this subie!!
i have a gx impreza 2001. since it's a non turbo i'm looking foward to installing some 'uneven' headers and adding a tomei exhaust to get that nice rumble. your buru is literally goals. wish i had a wrx but the gx was what i took at the time.
Awesome video, Eddie! As a relative newcomer to the channel, it was nice to see some of the car's history that I never knew about. Looks great, and looking forward to seeing how you progress with it!
Glad your back man, really like this video inspires me to do atleast a little 2 minute video or something when I put upgrades on my car cool seeing the car evolve slowly must be fun to go back and look on.
Good historical video capture! I installed all of my bolt-ons myself to include the Perrin Red Turbo Inlet Hose. That install took me 5 hours to do by myself in the parking garage of my apartment (really bad lighting).
Have fun replacing the turbo inlet when it fails again. You should have pulled the intake manifold because it's way faster. If you pull the manifold you can also tuck the wiring for a much cleaner appearance.
@@EddieNuffSaid Thankyou means alot, can't wait for the next vid? You should try to collaborate with "Jacktheultramotive" he has a pretty clean r32...... photoshoot?
One day when get tired of my Acura RL which it may not come I will buy a 2004 STI I’ve always wanted one so why not. Yours is clean and has power, just how I want mine.
What brand are your diffusers and splitters? I love all the carbon fiber in the engine bay, just pulled my motor out of my 04 STI, has 190K on it so fixing some leaks and making her super clean before putting it back in but would like to do some dress ups and would like to get some of the same things you have but can’t find a good reliable product online
Idk much about modding cars, but how can you drive your car with those mods before you got it tuned? I thought throwing a bigger turbo would require a tune like right away
EddieNuffSaid yeah bro I really enjoy your channel. I’m out here trying to make it happen with my channel and your content is inspiring. Keep on man ✌🏻
big fan of your channel bro , im looking to buy an STI myself, looking to get to 400 hp with e85 flex fuel. Everyone keeps telling me about the usual problems with the pistons etc, should i go for lower generation models when trying to do it on stock internals? i heard really bad stuff about the 06-07 + onwards .
No M8 look for version 7 or 8 sti if you want those numbers on stock. But remember the maintenance of the engine prior to you purchasing it plays a big variable on whether your engine will handle 400whp or not.
Sure you can push it to 375whp hmbut is it safe for your block? My tuner would only do it if I asked him I never wanted. My closed block is coming in December next year we go healthy 450whp
Great build and great documentation of your journey. Keep up the good work. Your videos inspired me to continue with my 06 STI (original owner) when I was verge of selling the car. BTW, I hate you snatching up those rare JDM bits. 😜
Awesome video Eddie! I got some work cr2p coming in soon, and there 18x9.5 +23 on a 2004 sti. I was wondering if could spill some beans on your tire size and wheel specs just to compare for fitment
i shoulda took off the intake manifold to install my tomei inlet hose. more work yes but less of a pain and quicker than stuffing it in between imo lol
This is inspiring, I've been putting 90 percent of every paycheck aside for my subie, it's looking like this spring I'll finnaly be getting my sti. I absolutely love the build, and all of the vlogs Eddie, keep moving forwards!

@@ShiftingFury awesome man! Good luck. I'm sure you can save a bunch if you do the repairs yourself.
I've always loved this body style. Personally my favorite of all the WRX's.
Completely agree but also the hardest to buy second hand because they’ve all been ragged to fuck
I’m a simple man, I see Subaru wrx sti I click..
Yesssssss 💯
damn ... straight to the nerves.
same
@@EddieNuffSaid that’s a sick car mate like the Subaru wrx my type of car
I need help w my head gaskets 🫣😫😫
One day I'm gonna own this

You will! It takes a lil time to save but you can make it happen 🤙🏼
Just finance one, negotiation is all it
takes
You can do it bruh💯💯

i just bought a 2005 wrx sti with 9000 kilometers same color and now I want to start with alot of these wicked mods.

The tire letters make the illusion that the alignment is off

It’s a cute car
@@EddieNuffSaid LMAO
By far the best Gen Subaru. Love the front end on these, the previous gen bug-eye subie's are my 2nd fav

Love the car and heart you put into it. Cant wait to get my Subie closer to where yours is.
start making money now nd you could get one before you turn 18

Bro im 16 ik its been a year since u commented but i just bought my first car and its an 04 subie wrx sti impreza bro i made it happen u can too
Wow what a beauty, it is truly amazing. Awesome car and video bro.
Ivan Alvarez thank you!
I'm in love with that Subie
380 is too low for an e85, what size fuel injectors and pump u running and is it a real e85 or e60-70 like most of em
Damn, throwback to before Joe sold his RS. Love that video of Harry 2 stepping the car! his expression is priceless.
Haha! That’s a throwback for sure lol
Old video, I know, but were those white letters on the tires the aftermarket glue on kind, or did the tires actually come that way new?
2 things, 1 is this your daily ir was it at one point? And 2 why do your wheels ha 2 valve stems 15:20
What the wheel size? Doesn’t look like you’ve had your fenders rolled or pulled I like how clean it is
I thought that wrx sti’s were stock with a turbo. Was this an Impreza you upgraded or just upgraded the stock turbo?
Sti's do come stock with a turbo. He upgraded the turbo
just snagged a 02 wrx in great shape, giving me mad inspiration for my build
Awesome!
Damn Breh! I’m about to pick up an 04 Sti wagon from my work, I’m stoked! Thanks for some dope ideas!
I NEED one of these it's not even a joke!
Do it! These are such great cars 💯
You're using the Perrin 2.4" turbo inlet hose ? The description says 3"
It’s a 2.4 that I use, I need to adjust it lol
You need 3” everywhere
I need to know where you found all those engine dress up kits and where you got that front lip and side skirts etc
Yea bro I wanna get sti and I wanna get a job at 14 and save up for one bc I love this and bro it’s going to take time but don’t give up 🤙🏽
Good luck! You can make it happen
I wish I stuck with doing something like this with my car. I started to but I always forgot to do it whenever I would add a mod.
Man what an awesome build brother. 👏 I would get the Ark Grip Exhaust. The Tomei sounds good too. Stay safe brother. Subies forever guys and gals
One of the best Subaru out there!
You're living my dream friend.
Drive safe ❤
Awesome build. Do you recommend the Garrett Gtx3076r turbo and a Cobb cold air intake
That turbo and setup is very nice!
Popped up in recommended such a dope video
How much hp does the subie have after the transformation
What brand are your diffusers and splitters?

any advice on where I can find a 2004-2005 sti
Idk much about modding cars, but how can you drive your car with those mods before you got it tuned? I thought throwing a bigger turbo would require a tune like right away

I think this is the sexiest and most popular blobeye on youtube along with the battle aero kit wrx
First video i see from you, haven't subscribed so fast to a channel before
I appreciate the support!
I’m happy to say I was the one that sold you the killer 🐝 headers and up pipe lol. Check out my new 19 STI man.
Ayyy I’ll check it out. Love those headers 🤙🏼
I have question. I see in your videos doing 20g turbo upgrade I notice you have hks bov. I thought wj25 need to recirculating
what kind of wheels were u running in the first clip in the garage? te37?
was it worth sacrificing the rumble for the equal headers?
Heck yes!!!
Sure you can push it to 375whp hmbut is it safe for your block? My tuner would only do it if I asked him I never wanted. My closed block is coming in December next year we go healthy 450whp
The car was happy at this power level & has been doing great ever since!
EddieNuffSaid have you ripped it and been ripping it
Well done man, that car is pure, and I'm a Honda guy!!
I appreciate the support!
Salute.
How much did you end up spending.?
Same question I wanted to ask hahaha
I know right
Anybody know where the diffuser is from?
Kansai service Japan
are those rays with 18x9 et30?
HKS BOV is one of the worst sounding BOVs ever, glad you changed it. What is the wheel/tyre spec? Spacers/rubbing issues?
Great video man saving more money for my bugeye because of your great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is that intake powder coated, or just a candy paint?
By far my favorite subaru ever!! I wish and hope my subie can be similar to yours eddie!!
Means a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼
How’d you get the blinkers to flash when you unlock the car?
Stock alarm lol
Great build and great documentation of your journey. Keep up the good work. Your videos inspired me to continue with my 06 STI (original owner) when I was verge of selling the car.
BTW, I hate you snatching up those rare JDM bits. 😜
Thanks for the kind words & good luck with your build!
What happened to your ARC intake? Why did you decide to go back to the SPT intake?
cool car men, what tires do you have with the new wheels? specs ?
Awesome video Eddie! I got some work cr2p coming in soon, and there 18x9.5 +23 on a 2004 sti. I was wondering if could spill some beans on your tire size and wheel specs just to compare for fitment
Legit! Check out my wheel specs vid, I talk about it all there 👌🏼
bro how do you even get your car smogged?? I'm in the south bay and I'm worried about just my AOS
I change back to stock
Have you got GETaDOMTUNE cylinder 4 coolant hoses? Insurance more protection
What ya car cost all in please its lovely iam interested in getting one
i shoulda took off the intake manifold to install my tomei inlet hose. more work yes but less of a pain and quicker than stuffing it in between imo lol
Loving your work....all the way from the UK
I really dont know alot about cars and am looking at buying a 04 or 05 sti. Any tips for what to look for?
Do you miss the rumble? I don’t think I am capable of letting it go.. even though I’m well aware of the performance benefits.
I dont really miss it tbh, I like the tone of elh
@@EddieNuffSaid To each his own!
What’s the song called on part 8:35 ?
how much did it cost to build the motor ?
$0 haven’t built the engine, stock internals
So how much power did the dyno say you had very beautiful car by the way
384whp/401wtq on e85
I love both Mustang and Subaru, but I only afford a Subaru 04/05 and planning to do something for it.
I have a scooby and antilag makes so much difference
love the channel bro! keep it up
