FD is truly a classic. It’s a shape that we can’t even produce today due to safety. It’s so sleek and smooth. The best looking front engine, rear wheel drive car from Japan imo
Dooood! Your sanding and spraying technique has improved VASTLY! Keeping sander moving is great. Spray fan perpendicular to the surface! Great great great job pal. I hope I get to see this car.
The door ajar chime is so nostalgic, love it! Either that or it's because I listened to a lot of T-pain's "baby got brap" which is also a wonderful song to pair with this car lol
My Sti spun a rod bearing on its first dyno pull last Tuesday, going with a type ra block shooting for 400-450 to the wheels. If it weren’t for you seeing how much fun you can have with your cars I would’ve sold it!!! Long live SMEEDIA 🎉
Love seeing this come together. one of my dreams is to do this type of work to a 2nd gen DSM. that head unit looks really good in there. I love android auto. Helps so much when you're in a town you didn't grow up in. GPS is essential.
Not gonna lie, I had to shut my eyes when you were sanding the hatch. Killer Panda is coming along nicely. Seems like you have a short to power somewhere, probably relay like you're thinking. Kept at it brother. 💯💯💯
My 2023 Chevy Colorado, from the factory after its shut off it continues to run coolant through for a few min and coolant through the turbo. It took some getting used to. Car looks mint. That wing reminds me of the Batmobile. Just white
The Brap Panda is looking pretty good my guy! Obviously you got a bit of wet sanding and such to go, but looking really nice. As for the hood, you may want to find a basic CF one and add vents/low pressure zone extraction as you desire.
Hyped to see the progress. Finally gonna go stage 2 on my sti mid next month. Last few parts are on their way! Been a stage 2 member on the channel for almost 2 years now as well! All the 2s
The FD is looking minty 😮💨 can’t wait to here the brap braps. In regards to the fans might be a loose ground or when I replaced my wheel hubs on my 05 LGT, it tripped a P0500 wheel speed sensor code. Whenever I turned the ignition key the fans would run full speed. Turned out to be a dirty abs sensor. Don’t know if it’s the same on the FD. Keep up the great work 💪🏽
Amazing video!! For the level of perfect on this car. Its unbeleivably amazing!!! May i recommend have a custom gauge claster made? You can diy it fairly easily and it would allow you to run whatever info you want without extra pods. Thats what i am doing with my fb. But i am adding rgb stuff to it aswell. Edit: i am not refering to dropping a haltech screen in. I mean having screens or analogs added to an oem type cluster. Oem feel extra data
Nice, you finally got a decent headunit instead of those Chinese ones. You really can't go wrong with a Pioneer in my experience. And JBL speakers, nice work. Here's an idea, you can hook up that old Alpine iPod unit to that 12v power supply as a shop stereo, if you happen to still have any old iPods or iPhones around that use the 30pin or whatever. I have some nostalgia for that thing, used to sell it when it was relevant, even bought one for my gf at the time. It's a neat piece of history I guess.
Oh I tossed that thing a while ago 😅 we don’t have any old apple stuff that would have worked with it 😅 Saw some decent reviews on that pioneer head unit 🙌
@@Smeedia High end Pioneer stereos are not to be trifled with, but even low/mid range are still a cut above the competition. Wanna take a trip? Check out the JVC Khameleon AVX44, probably came out around the same time as that Alpine. Really weird single din dvd unit, my buddy had one back in the day. It was ok, I'd rather have a flip out personally.
First time seeing someone use a big syringe to fill up a transmission. Ngl, kinda upset I didn’t think about that before buying a $30 transfer pump that didn’t even work.
Coming along nicely! As I mentioned in a response below, why buy a carbon part if you're just going to paint it? Wouldn't a non carbon part be cheaper or is this more about weight savings? Cheers!
Tanner, I've been meaning to ask: what earbuds do you use? You're super active in them but you seem to never complain about them staying in your ears. I'm looking for something like that. Let me know.
@@SmeediaIt’s so pretty. 🤩 Vented Carbin fibber hood. Chef’s kiss. 👌🏻 Now get a trashed NSX and do the same…lol prolly find one in the DFW I pass by one that’s wrecked all the time.

The chassis will forever be timeless, I don’t foresee something similar ever being made again
Looked like you were painting the white wing in heaven. That RX7 looking so good. Great work.
Wanted to turn the difficultly up when painting 😂😅
Love this build so much. Also kudos to you on really showing what the Eastwood stuff is capable of in terms of powder coating and painting 👌
Great call on painting the hatch! ❤️ Down right turning sexy as hell. Love the body lines on the FD and your tasteful dark accents. 🔥🔥
The full carbon hatch just looked out of place 😅 definitely hyped with the paint match🔥
Dude that thumbnail is beautiful. The RX-7 is so badass. I LOVE those wheels too.
As more parts go back on this thing just comes out more and more beautiful 😍
Dooood! Your sanding and spraying technique has improved VASTLY! Keeping sander moving is great. Spray fan perpendicular to the surface! Great great great job pal. I hope I get to see this car.
Been getting that practice in 😅 definitely still have more to learn and practice but feeling way better about painting now 🙌
Nice job bud…the Rx7 is looking good…your attention to detail is making this series AWESME!!
I believe it’s spelled and pronounced Wang. Love you and what you do.
WANGGGGGGGGG
SOOO happy you did aspen white. I love it. My favorite Subaru and possibly favorite car color ever.
Aspen whites always been my favorite shade of white. Always such a clean shade 😮💨
It's literally not brand new because it's not brand new, but you did an incredible job. Probably the nicest diy restoration on an FD. Awesome!
great that you kept it all one color
The carbon looked good, but looked out of place being such a large piece
The door ajar chime is so nostalgic, love it!
Either that or it's because I listened to a lot of T-pain's "baby got brap" which is also a wonderful song to pair with this car lol
shes looking mint dude!
excited fornthr 2.5 rs
The Rs should be a fun one 💪
It's amazing the work you're putting into this project. Thanks for taking us along on the journey
The rotary is starting to really take shape. So much progress from sitting on the lift forever. Paint looks great 👍
It’s turning into something that’s just 🤌 can’t wait to get it back on the road 💪
Bro the rx7 is my new favorite out of the collection. 🔥🔥
Turning this thing into an absolute Gem 😍
All I can say this time is that your channel is amazing. You are an inspiration!
Always appreciated my mans! 🫶
My Sti spun a rod bearing on its first dyno pull last Tuesday, going with a type ra block shooting for 400-450 to the wheels. If it weren’t for you seeing how much fun you can have with your cars I would’ve sold it!!! Long live SMEEDIA 🎉
Hopefully the rebuild is quick and painless for ya! Definitely keep me posted on how it goes 💪
Will do🤙
Bro i really wanna get an RX7 after watching this build! Such a cool care love the videos!
Definitely snag one! I see RHD one sell pretty cheap!
watching your videos gives me the inspo to keep working on my project. Back to the garage i suppose
Love seeing this come together. one of my dreams is to do this type of work to a 2nd gen DSM.

That car is just looking better every day. Must feel good
I’m excited to see it 100% for once. We’re getting there day by day 🎉
Love this build series.

Gotta be something, those fans been driving me nuts 😅
Yeah, I was having a hard time watching that too. I understand wanting paint match, but then why by a carbon part?
@@R1Armadill0for weight reduction ? 🤔
@@natewhite2501 Yeah, I was thinking that as I stated in another post.
@@R1Armadill0no extra holes in the carbon like the oem panels 👌 plus it’s WAY lighter
Looks 🔥. Love the black and white contrast.
Thank you 🥳 super stoaked with how this things looking 🔥
@@Smeedia yes shaping up really well. Enjoying the content. Not bad for a first ever time working on FD RX7’s.
the car is coming along B e A utiful. i get hyped for the rx7 content
Thing is looking cleaner and cleaner every day 🔥
My 2023 Chevy Colorado, from the factory after its shut off it continues to run coolant through for a few min and coolant through the turbo. It took some getting used to.
Car looks mint. That wing reminds me of the Batmobile. Just white
👀 I really can't wait to see this beauty shine!!
I’m stoaked to see it after wet sanding it all 😍
The wing without the actuall spoiler looks dope as is. Im guessing it's just a temporary thing but still.
It is temporary 😅 having that wing blade made of of carbon 👌
Looking awesome can't wait to see and hear it
Thank you 🥳 the braps are coming 🔥
Car looks so freaking good
Absolutely in love with how it’s coming 😮💨😍
The Brap Panda is looking pretty good my guy! Obviously you got a bit of wet sanding and such to go, but looking really nice. As for the hood, you may want to find a basic CF one and add vents/low pressure zone extraction as you desire.
Whole car will be wet sanded 😅 that should be a fun few days 😂
@@josephmatuszak3855 The Brap Panda!
🐼 💨
🤣😂🤣
That’s awesome!
Watching the progress my inner Puerto Rican is making me want a RX7, white and carbon cars is the wey brotha 💪
Looks beautiful love the rims, one thing I would do is Cerakote the down pipe the bronze color to make it look even better!!!
Android Auto spoiled me so hard on my wife's Crosstrek. I actually found this channel searching for ways to add Android Auto to my 17 WRX STI
always love the fd content killing it
🫶🫶🫶
God dam! This is a work of art! As always, loving the passion and commitment
Hyped to see the progress. Finally gonna go stage 2 on my sti mid next month. Last few parts are on their way! Been a stage 2 member on the channel for almost 2 years now as well! All the 2s
All the 2s! What down pipe did you end up getting?! 🥳
@@Smeedia found a catless invidia on fbmp. GS stealthbox for intake

These older cars look amazing! Miss the 90’s
Cars from the 90s had so much character 🔥
Slaying it man. Love to see it. Looks like a 5th of your viewers liked it, seem to be doing something right.

Love the color and how clean it looks 👌
looks amazing bro!
Thing looks so good fully painted now 😍
@@Smeedia Definitely some LOVE put into this amazing ride..it shows...
Do the video on you going to Spokane! It’ll be different and be chill 😎
It’ll mainly be like 10 hours of driving 😅
Leave the hatch exposed carbon! Panda look is fire! :)
Nevermind you already painted it hah
Ngl, a carbon hatch with carbon hood and carbon wrapped door handles, would be sick... the middle section of the spoiler would be crazy with carbon
Looking amazing, keep it up
Thanks Michael!
Nice BUILD BY THE WAY💯💪😇🙏
💪💪💪

I’ve had that thing forever and it works so well for something that was like $1 😅
The white hatch looks great, but damn my heart hurt when you started sanding that carbon 🤣
lol the carbon looked so good but it needed to be done 😂😅
@Smeedia painting it really pulled the whole car together.
@@SmarterEveryGamelooks wayyyy better paint matched 🔥
Coming along nicely! As I mentioned in a response below, why buy a carbon part if you're just going to paint it? Wouldn't a non carbon part be cheaper or is this more about weight savings? Cheers!
Holes dear Watson! The carbon panel is way lighter and doesn’t have the holes for the rear wiper stuff like oem did
Do be careful with the edge of the orbital sander. It can dig deep. Quick, short, and in a hurry.
Going to be watching a lot of videos of how to do it properly 😅
Idk why but seen Tanner sanding the carbon fiber make me wanna cry really deep inside 😅
lol after the first sand pass I was about it 😂 the first time touching the carbon with sand paper is the worst part lol
😬 definitely you enjoy every minute of it 😂😂
Headcam be looking like an early 2000s music video
The most accurate description 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
🫶🫶🫶
Another W tanner video
Always appreciate the support my mans 🫶💪
That's sick as fuck Tanner! Wow, perfect
Eyyy thanks dude 🥳
The amazing Tanner, anything this guy can’t do? Other than maybe leave a car alone? 🤣🤣
I’m doing kinda okay with leaving the Tacoma alone for now 😂
Google “Baja PreRunner” and don’t hate me when your next shopping cart has a tubing bender in it 🤣
Tanner time 🎉
My mans! 💪
How much did scuffing a nice carbon surface hurt inside?
The title says everything white but I clearly saw black hinges!
The hardest part was just getting the sand paper to touch the carbon 😅 after that it was all downhill 😅
Tanner, I've been meaning to ask: what earbuds do you use? You're super active in them but you seem to never complain about them staying in your ears. I'm looking for something like that. Let me know.
They’re the Samsung galaxy buds, absolutely love them!
@@Smeedia any way you can link them?
question: I drive a 15' wax and wanted to replace my coil packs due to misfire, I already bought NGK sparks but what coils packs do I buy?
OEM Subaru 🤌
DUDE!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOMMMM 🥳🥳🥳
Hey man, you mentioned you'd link the cage for the double din too, didn't see it in the description.
Do you see yourself doing this type of level of restoration on a Subaru? Or would that be too boring since you’ve own lots of Subarus
I’ll be doing similar to my 2.5Rs except with a 22B wide body 🫡
Rx7 build is coming along really well. i had a question about my subaru. the lower control arm bushings on 15+ sti are they replaceable?
How its the 🦆I heard him on the background 🥰
Took him to a local pond last week. Been checking on him and he’s still kicking 🎉
Now here me out. A bit on the expensive side but, I think the Re Amemiya hood is the way to go.
Low key want that hood 😅
@@Smeedia back to ramen diet it is then
If you had a carbon hood would look nice together without them painted! But just a hatch just doesn't flow as well
It was just too much leaving it all carbon 😮💨
Ad9 hood. Let the ricer flow through you.
Is that the one that looks like a dodge viper? 😭
@@Smeedia yes! Gramotoring has a few options with them and even offer gurney flaps and rain rails for the vents.
Just curious, how did you avoid overspray? Looks like it'd be a bit of problem in there.
The booth has downdraft vents and filters 👌
@@Smeedia Wait so its built into the stall? That's sick if so!
Omg she’s beautiful 🤤. Are you still SEMA bound with this beauty?
Hoping so 🤞waiting to hear back on booth spots.
Where would you go to find a WRX narrow body rear bumper? I didn’t find any on rally sport.
OEM? Directly from Subaru
How donyou like the 3m paint guns please do a video review on them as I'm thinking about themas well for what i am gonna do can I get your feedback
Yay!
🥳🥳🥳🥳
@@SmeediaIt’s so pretty. 🤩
Vented Carbin fibber hood. Chef’s kiss. 👌🏻
Now get a trashed NSX and do the same…lol prolly find one in the DFW I pass by one that’s wrecked all the time.
You got a cousin name starts with a P? 🤔 Ps - loving the RX7 content!
No one that I can think of off the top of my head 😅
@@Smeedia alright lol
When you replace your radiator on the Subaru , do you upgrade the fans to or stock is fine?
LETS GOOOOO
LESSSSA GOOOO
How many more videos until you do a 2k hp billet rotary engine build? 😂😂
That’s a wayyyyyys away 😂
I’m looking to get the same wing for my FD. Is yours a genuine Mazdaspeed or a replica? If a rep, what brand and how would you rate the fitment?
I couldn’t sand on carbon fiber too scared
I have the 1400 nex it’s nice but it shuts off when it gets hot
Just gotta send it with the sand paper 😅
Did you decide not to move to Spokane
Still on our lease but still have a lease on the shop
is there a way to fix that front bumper gaps
Is the rubber on those washers fuel rated?
We going to find out 😂
They should be, if the rubbers not the metal crush washer is
Does it run yet?
Soon, I could make it run in a day. But would rather have everything done clean
@@Smeedia Props and totally understand. I wasn't sure if I missed the first start.
What happen to Tacoma built
Waiting on parts 😢 ordered bumpers, roof rack and some other stuff but it’s all taking forever 💀
Still waiting on the drift
Beautiful papi to the 🌙?
As close to the moon as we can get 🤌
Please...... Bronze wheels ❤
Awesome work dude looking really good!! Sexy af
Already ordered 💪 they’ll be here sooner or later 😅
So hard watching the carbon be sanded. 😢
No way I was just watching last video
Eyyyy perfecting timing 😮💨🙌
First!
Earlyyyyy 🤘🤘🤘
:D
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Not feeling the wing
Well it’s still missing the wing blade 😅
Ahh ok I knew it looked off
Somebody tag @tjhunt and tell him smeedia needs a hood for his v mount.
