      Thank you for the great video! My car is as old (and as japanese) as the GC8 Impreya, so bodyflex and weak brakes are an issue here.
      I didn't really get (even if I stopped the video) a good picture of the brake heat stickers. How do I find it in your shop? And how do I use them? :-D Do they go on the disc? Aren't they too big?

    As a subaru owner i could not be more happy to see this, i already have big part of essential mods on my car but i can say a fact about brakes: Front sumitomo 4 pot calipers are used on early r32 gtr, 300zx tt and s14 silvia, all of this cars are heavier than imprezas so the size of the brakes are not the problem, the problem is their construction material, iron and the pots gets rusted and blocked in the caliper with time and you end having only 2 or less pots working. I rebuild them a few years ago with stainless steel pistons and never had a problem with brakes anymore with a propper pad, lines and fluids of course!

    I absolutely loved this episode, I have two 2004 Subaru Forester XT's with STI upgrades, and just recently installed a KEIN Fabrication (a company located in the Russian Federation) Rear Strut Tower V-Brace (I think its more an X Brace) which is very similar to the Cusco type OS V-Brace you show, and WOW did that make the biggest difference in the way the car handles. My other Forester has coilover, swaybars, and tires, but the V-Brace made the absolute biggest difference even on a nearly stock suspension (this car only has subframe lockdown bolts, rear sway bar, front sti control arm bar, KEIN Fab V-Brace, KEIN Diff Brace, and KEIN Trunk Brace. It wasn't easy to bend my car back into shape after 16.5 Years of twisting and bending itself out of shape, but my Wife and I managed!

  • @ArnoldVette
    @ArnoldVette 4 роки тому +1

    I thought I knew nearly everything about Subaru's and tracking a car, but I learnt a lot more about the weakness of Subaru and tracking in general. This can be applied to other older cars.
    Thank you for this awesome treasure of information!

    I had the same problem on my lancer before I changed the engine mounts, it's an automatic sadly but still during acceleration and turning it would take a long time to shift, and it was that bad that if you'd concentrate you could feel the engine moving. Inexpensive repair that saves lots of money later on.

    Thank you Misha and Atomic shop! Now I'm aware that NOT to buy the Impreza that I wan't so bad. Everyone is telling me it's a problem car, you will not find in good condition and etc. With so much things to do, even most of these are essentials for road use, better have something new and modern than this "exotic JDM". Thank you for the great content.

    30:40 this plate does not prevent oil from going left and right. It "scrapes" off the cloud of oil that develops around crank shaft. The baffles { the special little walls} that are built inside the killer b oil pan do prevent oil from sloshing side to side. IAG came out with the best wet sump oil kit in 2021 for Subaru.
