Jimmy testing everything out has to be the funniest part of the video lmfao
Didn't tell Adam about the anti lag at all🤣🤣
Jimmy was right blob eye is best
“What kind of gas is in this thing? Smells exotic”
Yeah, testing everything but the fans 😂 clip right before make sure to turn on the fans.
As a former turbo Subaru owner I was cringing the entire time.....please turn on the fans don't let it get too hot omg I was sweating
@AdamLZ I hope you see this comment so freaking badly. The engine oil pressure can also be low due to a small plate on the back of the block under the flywheel. On the driver's side of the engine is an oil crossover that is basically flat and has O-ring/gaskets that route the oil. As they wear down they DO flatten and you can blow an engine because the oil is not actually going through the proper channel. It still gets oil, but it will not go above a certain pressure because it starts to push past the O-rings.
@AdamLZ
I'm glad this car went to a good home! Sad its been changed so much from the original build but it bounced between support crews over the years with mixed results. Im confident you guys will get it looking proper again 🤝
-Seamus
The work you guys put into it looks insane, but man, I can't wait to see it ripping on course. It looks like a blast
FINALLY! A proper Subaru build on the channel, you should bring it up to Canada sometime!
my exact thought. he will build the greatest subaru we've ever seen.
been waiting for this day for a while
Big subaru guy ... 😅 but really it's about time.
been waiting for years, i was so surprised when he bought the japan subi. FINALLY got a compound subi
I was just in Toronto there were so many sti and wrxz
I know Subarus aren't popular with this group but it makes me happy Jimmy is a blob eye enjoyer.
i love him now for that. blob eye's are amazing
I personally am a bug eye enthusiast, blob eye is cool still
Ofc his filmer would say hawkeye is best
Selling my fresh built blob eye Sti with fresh RA block right now. Anyone want to buy? lol 😢
@@tturi2 bugeyes forever
There's just something that feels right about a rally video coming out on 43 Day
Yessssss!!! Please bring more popularity to rally here in the USA we all gotta work together to show oem manufacturers we are interested in fun awd sports cars.
I SECOND THIS!
Man I’ve been dreaming of the day Adam buys a Subaru. Never did I imagine it would be a full blown rally car. My dad rally’s and hillclimbs a Hawkeye as well, so this is right up my alley! I may be biased, but I think this thing needs to be resprayed in the iconic world rally blue! Stoked to see the journey this car will take you on, I’ll be following every step with great interest!
Adam already has a better Subaru in Japan, he uses it when he visits for drift week.
@@bespincustompropsbombarta8300 I’m aware, but this is the first Subaru that is properly featured in depth and will be worked on.
He also has the Subaru that is behind Jimmy's shop in Connecticut
@@bespincustompropsbombarta8300 tbf adam has like a dozen cars in japan lol but he rarely gets his hands on them.
I agree wrb is the only choice for color.
The Navigators Horn is for if yous catch a Slower competitor on a stage so they let you past somtime thers a windscreen washers button down there too. Forestry Tyres over heat on tar or concrete thags why it was pushing,You can buy kevar floor guards, they cover the whole floor on each side underneath and they are moulded to the shape of the floor. We can get them here in Ireland but some bou d to import them to Usa .Put A WRC blob eye front on it 👌 Seamus the Irish spelling of Shamus 😂
Nothing but solid points, info and facts. A wrc blob eye front would be sick
Thanks for the name correction Barry, Ive been hearing it said see-muss my whole damn life 😅😅

Slow down Sea-Moose, we dont need sass from you 😂

@@Noobish588 😂 See-A-moose was a 2015-2016 classic. The list goes on
One of the first thing any experienced Subaru engine builder does when assembling an engine is red Loctite the screws on the back of the oil pump.
Yohan is the perfect man to have in a shop love his energy and vibe he brings so calming yet very smart
Johan doing the rally stage callouts was the best part of this video
Jimmy is right blobeye is definitely best
100% Blobeye is kit-low
Fellow competitor from ARA here (HQ'd in New England) -- welcome to the club! I tested at Dylan's rally school and can confirm that this car is super legit. Best of luck, Adam!
I feel like everyone has been waiting for this honestly. Rally always seemed like something you'd be great at. I think Ol Cleeter would be good at it too.
I'd kill for some Adam x cleetus rally content lol, that would be a blast for sure
So excited for this - as a massive rally fan from England I’m so happy to see you get into this.
And the horn is for when you catch someone on stage so the driver can focus on driving and the co driver is responsible for letting the car ahead know to move
Some rally cars like my old one also have the washer jets and windscreen wipers controlled by the co driver
😂❤😅😮😂

Tip: Feet go first then uper body when entering the vehicle 9:16
Never thought I'd see a VL Commodore at the compound. 🎉
I had to double take lmao
Hell yeah, that's psi60 from KEEPITREET🤙
Hahaha same spin out
No way they have a fence post exhaust... That's gotta be the coolest part now because I used to buy the 2-3/8" fence posts from home depot and used them to fab my first exhausts back in high school. First car was a 98 Legacy GT and man that car was a shit box but so much fun. So happy to see Adam taking this path!!!
Had an 02 Legacy GT Limited, loved that car, was so much fun to drive.
@@nightkil13r I had an 01 Legacy as well! First manual car and for sure fun. Cant beat driving slow cars fast lol
that "loose" kinda driving is exactly what you want on a rally car. When you took the Skyline on the stage you seemed to be either trying for traction on the straights or kicking it sideways on corners but on a proper AWD rally car you want that "floating" feeling the whole time. Those tyres are designed to make grip while spinning on a loose surface, you want to use the throttle both for steering but also to build grip out of a corner, which is quite different to a sealed track type car
Exactly, proper rally suspension promotes the "floating" and that's where the real difference is. It's not like drifting
to be more accurate: rally suspension is built to keep contact with the ground at all times on uneven surfaces.
the floaty feel is just a symptom that comes with that kind of a suspension setup.
@@M3LKS I more mean the way the tyres grip the ground, in that rally cars are set up to be spinning the wheels but also producing grip and acceleration at the same time, so you're not getting that sharp turning response you would on a track or even on a drift car but that's okay because lighting up all four wheels will drag you out of a corner.
Instead of mashing the throttle to get the car to rotate, you tend to lift off to rotate the car and power out - which feels more floaty than lots of people are used to, because you're always sorta spinning the wheels anyway.
But you're right, the suspension is also designed to keep the wheels in contact as much as possible, rather than maximising grip and minimising roll like Adam is probably used to.
Rally is awesome, there's a reason so many pro drivers from all sorts of racing end up getting involved, it's just a different feel you don't get anywhere else
@@helplmchoking its a rally car set up for gravel. the suspension is setup for maximum contact with the road on a loose surface where grip is at a premium - that causes the floaty feel. the floaty feel is not the aim, its a biproduct of the setup. and as someone that has been involved in rallying for 20 years - no one is setting up the car to spin the wheels or some weird shit you talking about.
cars are set up totally different for tarmac rallying and then they are much stiffer sharper. and again no one is setting up the cars to spin the wheels on tarmac either lol.
This is the comment I was looking for.
"You want it to be your own destruction, not the last guys"..... solid dating advice 😂😂
😂😂😂
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that
I was like "👀" 😅
Definitely needs some more underbody protection like ploy sheets also good idea to cover the rear arms too cause they get sparyed am sure you will work it all out so stoked for you
strange, looks like it has been driven without it looking how beat the underbody is, maybe its an american rallying thing. 100% should add protection.
@M3LKS yeah it's odd aye , the car had been prepped to be leased out but yet has none, maybe it is just a American thing 🤔
@@rallylifemotorsport150 Not an American thing, we cover the entire underside with hdpe sheets. This was just something not done by the previous owner.
Also an american can confirm it's not an american thing. We literally have no asphalt rallies (except for maybe targa newfoundland). Almost wondering if it wore out too much and they just got rid of it before sale. But yeah first thing I thought when I looked at the under body was just like "why tf is there no rear suspension/floor protection?"
Nah bro
Soooooo stoked that this is finally coming to light with this channel. Deep down I had a feeling this was a possibility, especially since watching for soooo many years and seeing the great progression of driving and of course the team . Keep on keeping on LZMFG!! Be safe and still have a blast!! Major 🍻y’all!!
9 year SR.Master subaru tech here. That car is a gold mine. Great find, Great buy.
That Subaru rally car is set up for forestry rally stages.thats why so much roll. If it is setup for tarmac stage rally it would be setup more stiffer and less body roll
yh they wouldn't change setups unfortunately
@@rceps4999 pity I'm sure Adam and co can do that
@@poolking36 they sure can but won't do it how actual rally teams do it
as a previous blob eye owner, now a VB owner, it would mean the world to see this thing blob eye. a good OE paint color (in my preference) is 35J Regal Blue Pearl. was the color of my old 2.5rs i had and as far as i am aware, it was a rather rarer color. enjoyed the video, would be cool to see you possibly pursue a season of ara. i live in marquette and we actually have ara stages up here for LSPR in the fall time
white all day 🤘🏼if this thing is painted a blue its gonna get ruined by rock chips n such shows less in white
The wix cabin air filter is real important on a rally car 😂
I have some friends that participate in Rally Barbados yearly and I’ve been on the team a few times helping out. Don’t even think about making this thing nice, rally cars get beat up like you wouldnt believe. Most of them get a full ground up rebuild every year. Buy as many spares as you can. In fact Rally Barbados would be a good event for you.
Congratulations lad 🎉 Welcome to the World of Rallying 💯🤙👌 Wait till we get you on some Irish Tarmac Stages rallying some time in the next few years 💯🤙
I actually build mostly Tarmac Rally cars its more popular here the Forestry/dirt, Forestry rallys are very rough and hard on a car but we'll get you to do Five mile town Forestry rally its smooth and lovley stages 👌 the owners of Samsonas come over and do it every year 💯 We need to get you in a Rwd rally car they are so much fun like a mk2 escort or twin cam or rwd starlet or a datsun 😊😂
Ireland has some awesome rallying! Reminds me of some of the stages here in NZ (but much closer to Adam). Great rallycross tracks too
Same here in France, tarmac rally is way more popular. I think they don't have the roads for tarmac rally as well have in Europe, but I would love to see Adam test tarmac rally.
Now we’re talking, Irish closed road rallying is the Bees knees 👌🏽
He HAS a little Datsun RWD car with a rotary engine, it would make a truly _epic_ tarmac rally car!
Mk2 escort with a BDA🥵
Been waiting for this moment since you and Jimmy got Subarus to rip up north! GD chassis best chassis!🔥
I would love to see a modern take on the classic 555 livery
THIS IS GOLD!!!
THANK YOU BRO!!
I am very excited for your rally journey this is going to be awesome man!!!
So much respect to oaks going blob eye vs hawk eye. Both gorgeous cars but the blob eye has so much better after market sexinest vs the hawk eye.
Now put on tarmac stage tyres, drop the ride height to tarmac stage and do the lap by yourself and you'll see how good it really is 😉
Probably inadvisable because there are no tarmac rallies in the US but also it's adam lz so i could see him spending money on worthless components only to find out that he can't legally use them in any event.
@@lazyboxfish7113 yeah but my point is if it was set up for tarmac it would put in a way better lap than on the squishy lift springs and gravel tyres which are pretty crap on tarmac.
Also really no tarmac stages anywhere? Wow those are some of the best ones in world rally and around the UK and Ireland championships
@@bespincustompropsbombarta8300 There are limited tarmac stages at some events. You have to use gravel tires and to my knowledge no one really changes their setup much since the events that do have them only have a couple. Targa Newfoundland is the closest thing we have to a tarmac rally in north america and it's not a part of the north american or canadian rally championship.
@bespincystompropsbombarta8300 It's a shame b/c there are some pretty good asphalt roads on the west coast and in appalachia.
@@lazyboxfish7113 the road Adams Porche got hit would e perfect for a tarmac stage, was that the Dragon?
I saw the keep it reet trailer and the VL! Tell me the Barra wags had a run around the compound!
This has to be one of the best videos in yonks. Adam you look so naturally happy and enjoying yourself. In know i had a smile from ear to ear! I definitely agree with Jimmy the blob eye needs to go on!
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! Rally Adam boutta go CRAZY
Yeah really rally....
When doing laps on the compound course you should put the previous times up real quick so we can compare to other cars before you do the lap
Great video! The cast was ridiculous but my favorite part was watching Yohan have all the fun, every clip he was smiling.
Ran my 02 bugeye for years on the same engine in ralley and auto cross...never had a single issue! Trans was another story. Blew 3 before going to a sti type ra which wasnt cheap. The old subie was was one of the first shipped into the US and was only supposed to be 1 of 250. Took delivery in march 2001.
Agree with Austin Hawkeyes are the best body Subarus
New tee design for this car: "Sorry grass, it's a rally car" - also was getting Samir vibes watching Johan and Adam driving together haha just remember the picture of the turn coming up doesn't appear in the real world
He needs to put a WRC kit on it
Next car should be an s12 wrc
This. There's a company that sells full WRC-style body kits for pretty much every generation of WRX, and they look amazing. I forgot the name but I think they're based somewhere in the UK. The same company that Bucky Lasek got the body kit for his GC8 "Buckit" from.
if the 255 (or 257) blows go ej207. sure it doesnt make as much power but its a lot more reliable. make sure u replace the pickup if it hasnt been bc theyre known for dropping into the sump. i know u probably know all this adam but thought id let you know
Even better get one of the old close deck blocks off a legacy from like 1997. 2.2L throw sti rods and crank with custom pistons you got a 2.35l stroker
i agree with jimmy blob eye is the way to go
My favorite LZ episode ever. Finally.
I am with you Jimmy, Blob Eye all day!
Hyped for this journey!
Hand the keys to Collette, let her show you how to properly drive a Rally Car.
Hawkeye prices just went up. Stonks. Great purchase, brother! Hope she treats you well!!
Apparently it's actually a blobeye that's had a Hawkeye front end swap
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RALLY!!!!!
hopefully with your channel you can bring some new fans to rally ,
Im in australia and this beloved sport is under constant struggles to stay alive with less and less major sponsors every year, and we even struggle with our government to keep a world championship round great to see the massive smile it put on your face!
100% on board with this, just from the amount of joy on your faces!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ADAM!!!! Die hard Subaru fan and have been waiting for a LZ Subaru build for years!
Congrats on the new build!
Jimmy trying to crawl into the Rally car priceless 👌 😂
Yes! Finally a subaru build! Exited for this one
Please do NASA sandblast rally in South Carolina next year. Your massive following would really grow the event!!
Glade to see u venture into something I grown up watching in jamaica 🇯🇲
Drifting and rally are two of my favorite things. Seeing both on Adam's channel is awesome.
+1 for Jimmy; Blob eye is the best. My favorite started as blob eye, then I really liked the hawk eye, then the bug eye started to grow on me. But in the end, i fell in love with the blob eye
#1 the OG bug eye #2 blob eye. I’m a blob eye fan since I have a 04 WRB one
Yall are both wrong on the front end, the prodrive bugeye front clip is superior.
This. Bugeye was it for me.
Yep the OG is the best
Honestly, selling a car to Adam must feel really good. The knowing that something you owned and loved will go to someone who will make it its best is rad
I've been waiting for this day for years. I got excited when Adam got is STi in Japan but this is on another level. I know he's going to spice it up so I am excited to see the journey!
You should make a video of the 335i it has been awhile i love that car and it just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes and it’s very quick to also
The horn at the Co-Drivers feet is so that they can honk at spectators to get them excited when you go by! Also, you gotta come up and do the Overmountain Rally in the Bristol Tennessee area, it’s a blast!
Horn on the codriver side can be used to get peoples attention on the stage - also when/if you catch another competitor on a stage the codriver can blow the horn and allow the driver to stay concentrated
Saw this car at LSPR 2021 and 2022. Glad to see Adam got it👍🏽
ogs know this is NOT his first subaru 💀
He said his first rally car not Subaru. But yeah he’s owned a few Subies, and I think he recently bought a gc8 from Japan.
Can we please get it back to blob eye🥺🔥
In Europe there is guys from MVsport that builds cool double wishbone suspencion for subaru and evo that bolts right up, look it up!
Jimmy going to his core root with the blob eye and I don’t disagree and to see Adam in a proper Subie I’ve been waiting for this for a longgggg time it’s about time Adam !! Would also love to see you build a time attack one too for the compound !! 🎉🥳
White for rally car is BOLD. That thing is guna look beat the fk up 24.7 xD
The horn is for the codriver to beep at the spectators while on stage!
This is so awesome. I am so happy for Adam.
So excited for this build!
Blobeye > Hawkeye button
Jimmy is right
So stoked for this build
Awesome video Guys.
All smiles here. Thank you
Love the journey into Rally!! Keep up the great vids.
Much love from south africa, watching Adam's new 4ally car ,and I'm like why do I hear my OAK,it's jimmmmmmy
Can I start a petition to keep the pearl white!? I have an 07 STI and this is awesome to see come to the channel! I am not going to miss a second of the build videos!!
PRS QUICK STEERING RACK is a must for a rally Subaru ! Great video !
Happy to see you giving the Rallying a go finally. Good car to learn in. Need to switch the anti lag on next time, see how car performs and sounds then.
Good luck in drift masters!!!!
Really looking foward to watching and learning this Rally transition.
Congratulations on your new adventure.
I am so stoked to see LZ drive rally
Your UA-cam channel is still killing it. So cool
It just got real. Hell Yeah boi, Let’s freakn go!
Adam! Thank you for taking us along your journey! It's so cool to see you rip these cars!
Those bags behind seats are for halmets. And put the wrc body kit please on it. Wide and unique
Regards from Zagreb, Croatia!!!
Awesome to see Adam dive jog into rally it’s gonna open up the channel to new audience
Super excited for this series!
well im hyped as hell to start seeing the progression with your new venture!
4:45 I agree with Jimmy. Blob-eye master race!
Beyond stoked for this chapter of the LZ story
I'm loving the community I've seen building organically over the last few years. It's pretty cool
It’s fun to see you in the Subaru 😊 I hope to see full build/lots of content
Please more rally content its awesome!!!
I said it once on your channel a while back. I love Subarus. Had a couple of them and still love them today
