As i kept my bugeye wagon when i got rid of my 9. Its still wrx drivetrain, every bolt on, 250whp and just needs to maintenance to get shipped off with me. and knock offs sure but dont hate on real ce28's ;)
Hawkeye wrx wagon owner here. This level of detail to this build and love of the wagon just warms my heart to max. I just love the idea that to some it appears like a momma wagon grocery getter but it is still decently quick. With the seats folded down I've moved so much crap. So practical.
I love my bugeye wagon. It's got 233k miles on it and we're still trucking! I put sound deadening in mine 2 years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did to it lol.
A man of culture. Even though I swore off Subarus over a decade ago, Bugeye wagons will always have a special place in my heart. Also reminder to get your sportcross done. I know Carter's been giving you a hard time about it, I'm going to start too
My 02 bugeye has 350k+ on the chassis as well. Full JDM swap, 05 sti drivetrain, work meisters, and good suspension. its quiet, smooth and a ton of fun. I also have a car seat in it and my 5 year old absolutely loves it and always asks to go places in it.
Im glad I could help! They are really suuuuch good cars. They have their challenges but so does everything. As for a drivers car, they are in the top top
What a gem. It looks great and it seems very fun to drive too. I tried to find a good non-rusted one back in the day but I had no luck at the time. Too late now. Same thing for the turbo-II fc. Cold start, fly by and POV video please :P
Love this thing! I used to have an 03 sedan, i miss it sometimes. I had those side grill inserts. Mine came in the box as OE JDM Subaru Sti...Also, RG's are my all time favorite wheels! Your videos are getting better all the time!
This is awesome, what a small world. Here from Jimmy's channel, I see this car on 395 pretty often, not sure if you remember me but I drive the black bug sedan on white wheels. This has to be the cleanest bugeye in northeast CT.
Nice bugeye wagon. I own a JDM bugeye STi myself. Point of correction: The Spec C interiors were all black, seats and door cards. The regular STi's were blue. While your front seats are in excellent condition, they are from the vanilla GDB (version 8 or 9 to be specific).
Wagons Unite!!! 233K on my wagon. One request....you didnt give us a sound clip. Would love to have heard your exhaust with your set up. Running an HKS myself and love it.
as sick as they look with the roof rack deletes, only thing stopping me is that i need them to strap snowboards onto 😅😅 ive got the sedan from end already but want to get my hands on a wrecked sedan to do the rear cuts
19:15 "STI FHI Fuji Heavy Industries LTD. Aerospace Division" wtf, was this originally meant to fly? Subaru is wild man. Im jealous of your wagon to be fair though, looks like a gem!
@@TailoredChassisSolutions rotated definitely the way to go, for a bigger set up. Which makes more sense for a 2.5 ej build. 16g is just a little bigger than stock & still spools well. I have a bugeye wagon 2.0 myself, with that turbo, blouch. Its a fun car!
Td04 original turbo, about 20psi and I tuned it opensource with speed density. It certainly runs out of steam up top but for the immediate spool and grunt to pal around town with the kids its perfect 👌 ive got plenty of other cars with too much horsepower
Love the work here! Have a 02 sedan myself. Is swapping in the STI steering wheel to a 02 WRX as easy as swapping the airbag charge? Pretty limited information I can find online. Hoping to do the swap as well but would love some insight.
Wonderful video! Could you tell me the exact specs of your wheels? I know you said 18x8, do you run a spacer? Also, do you know the offset? I have a set of mint 17x7.5 +48, which do not even come close to fitting over factory OEM Subaru Brembos unfortunately. I know there is a 17x8.5 which are a bit tougher to find, but yours is one of the first I've seen NOT that size still fitting the factory Brembos. Thanks so much!
What was a rough estimate cost for the car as it sits minus the car price if you dont mind me asking? Living my dream through you im actually picking up a 80k mile hawk wagon this weekend and you got it set up how I want it ideally.
@@TailoredChassisSolutions appreciate the reply I actually picked up a Aspen White 06 with 145k miles for 500 bucks and it runs and drives so looking forward to working on picking up parts
Nah, it doesnt have the holes in the too flanges facing the hood like v5/6. After spending a moment looking its a 02-03 standard wrx tmic, silicone Y instead of cast Y so its just standard haha, it works well enough to take the kids for icecream
Finally, someone else that loves & appreciates wagons just as much as me 😂
More wagons in hiding lol, i love wagons
FR all I see in IG and on UA-cam are mostly sedans, Wagons are capable too!
I just had to get rid of my wagon and I’m already looking up replacements hahaha that brought me here
Love a nice bugeye wagon. I wish they’d bring them back.

As a Gd owner I am happy that this is the first video I am seeing. Good things to come for sure.
Man I like your Subaru STI on your UA-cam videos 💯 🏆💪🎧@@TailoredChassisSolutions
Here from jimmy o spreading love!
He says, "it's not perfect..." I'm watching and I'm thinking, "it's perfect..." 😍😍😍
I 100% agree with the clutch throw to shift throw ratio. The car is insane. 10/10
Man its such an important detail! THANK YOU!
My 02 GD sedan is currently at 386,228. With a Subaru just like anything else, take care of them, and they will take care of you!!
This style of video was actually quite refreshing
2018 type of video

The most perfect bug eye wagon, nice work 👍🏽
Thank you !! 🙏
Heck ya man! 360k miles on my 02 wrx wagon. It will be a lifer for me. Had it like 15 years.
Keep saving subies!!
I love my bugeye wagon. It's got 233k miles on it and we're still trucking! I put sound deadening in mine 2 years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did to it lol.
Just called to get my RS diagnosed. Pumped to have a group of people who are knowledgeable about EJs help me get it back on the road!
Looking forward to getting the car sorted!

PRESSSURRREEEE haha
No audio of the equal length headers?
The rear windscreen washer is useful to re-purpose as a intercooler water sprayer.
Unfortunately my mic got blown out by wind. We’ll have to grab some clips in the future and mic the car better.
Your enthusiasm and attention to detail are phenomenal. This car is a credit to you.
🙇♂️Thank you!
This is a dream car for me. It is beautiful work, and thank you for preserving such a fantastic car.
🙏 Thank you!
I’m in love with that little wagon
Love the wagon! Doesn't matter how many miles a car has on it so long as it's been maintained properly!
This Wagon is hard 😂😂 Subarus are super clean fire job on Jimmys 2J shi will be rowdy hype to see more from this channel keep it up ‼️👍🏾✅
Thank you! 🙏

i put the sedan widebody in the rear also. Best upraded ive ever done. Love my wagon.
Here from oakes channel. Grew up in mass, cool to see a local jdm chassis shop. Cant wait to see some more. 👍
Thanks for the sub! Im trying to balance it all but more content is coming!
371k on my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth and going strong! Been hesitant to put $$ into mods this is an inspiration for sure!
thanks for helping jimmy with the engine building! hyped to see you have a wrx wagon :)
Anything for the homies! Dadwagon is life!
I miss my 05 Saabaru 92x/wrx - this takes me back.
EasyE's old wagon. Awesome! Long time SHG follower on OG HT days! New to the channel, let's go binge watch :)
I needed this video so much, my 04 GD-B is sitting in my parents driveway and I've been contemplating selling it, but wagons are just too good
Im glad I could help! They are really suuuuch good cars. They have their challenges but so does everything. As for a drivers car, they are in the top top
Great bugeye wagon! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Very nice ,looks super in white to ❤
Dude, I love it!! I own 2 Saabaru's and the GGA/GGB chassis wagons are the best!!,
Man the details!! Seamus you really have a passion for cars. Shaun cudos again on the vid love the rolling shots.
What a gem. It looks great and it seems very fun to drive too. I tried to find a good non-rusted one back in the day but I had no luck at the time. Too late now. Same thing for the turbo-II fc. Cold start, fly by and POV video please :P

One day I'll afford some RG's for my 06 wagon
I have to say this video makes me love my wagon even more, the detail the passion its palpable
Loved the video and wagon. Can’t believe we didn’t get to hear it!
My apologies! Our mic setup got messed up. Ill do a follow up in ASMR
Super OEM+. Love a wagon. Would also love to see an in-depth driving review with lots of native sound 👌
Excellent video of an excellent build of an excellent wagon!!
Thank you sir 🙏🙏
Seems like you do some sick stuff man wagons are always great looking forward to seeing more content 👍
👋Thanks!
here from jimmys channel and i gotta say i like that stuff when u talk about your car like that video above
This is awesome, what a small world. Here from Jimmy's channel, I see this car on 395 pretty often, not sure if you remember me but I drive the black bug sedan on white wheels. This has to be the cleanest bugeye in northeast CT.
Haha hey! I was curious if anyone I run into on my commutes would ever find the channel. Thank you!
GOOD CAR
Loving it! I had a 04 wagon in Aspen white and it’s great to see them modded and still running. Nice work on the car b
🙏
Not sure if im getting older or just being a father of 3 but I have been enjoying my cars and trucks to not be super loud😂😂😂.
Agreed! My hearing loss is bad from being around loud stuff for too long
Advan has the most beautiful and the most wide range of models for sure.
Awesome vid, love the wagons too, they're so beautiful and practical.
Couldnt agree more, I always find myself gravitating toward advan, they really have something for every style and car!
Super clean
Dudeeee that edit was 🔥🔥, the scene changes with the bass at the end 🤌🏼
Seamus, great Dad mobile!
Looking forward to the KFit Type R driving video 😅
makes me miss my old wrx wagon
Some love from Jimmy and the gang! Love the bug eye
Thank you sir! 🙏
Still have my 06 WRX sedan that i bought new, almost 200k miles 👍🏼🙂
❤ I don't even understand why I love wagons, but I absolutely do
Same!
Nice bugeye wagon. I own a JDM bugeye STi myself. Point of correction: The Spec C interiors were all black, seats and door cards. The regular STi's were blue. While your front seats are in excellent condition, they are from the vanilla GDB (version 8 or 9 to be specific).
The titanium STi front strut bars were a factory option in Japan.
Have a closer look at the 06 toshi arai spec c
Yessir
Here from Jimmy’s channel. I miss my 03 sonic yellow wagon so much 😢
Yellow 🫠🥰
@@TailoredChassisSolutions only 500 ever made in that color, stolen and totaled the day after my birthday 8 yrs ago 🥲
@@otherwisewelcome9313 heartbreaking!
Got some things wrong about what parts come from what but it’s a pretty good lookin GD so I’m just happy to see it.
1 take and lots to remember makes for a mushy brain
“The seats that were in here had about a hundred million farts in them” lol😂
An astronomical level of previous owner(s) farts, had to ditch em ☣️🤣
Very clean wagon. I dig it.
sick build, which radio is in there?
Thanks! Its just some china jaunt off ebay
Nice video would’ve love to hear it while in transit, accelerating, shifting etc. I’m sure the rest of the viewers feel the same. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

as sick as they look with the roof rack deletes, only thing stopping me is that i need them to strap snowboards onto 😅😅
ive got the sedan from end already but want to get my hands on a wrecked sedan to do the rear cuts
I need some rear cuts too! Slick top no rails for me, ive got an Ascent for rack duty 😅
If you choose to sell let me know!!!! I need this in my garage!!!! Well done!!!!
Will do!
No sound clips during the drive is an absolute crime! I’m reporting you to the authorities. Very clean wagon.
😅😅 next time
Dude those window visors are so hard to find
What a beauty let’s see some more of the private collection cars
Little by little, half dont have engines in them 😅🤣
Bugeye wagon used to be my dream car when i was in highschool lol. I own a legacy sedan, so the legacy wagon has taken its place.
My best car ever was a 2004 WRX wagon, I took it to 200k+ miles. But you got me beat!
Jimmy was right u do have good videos and we all want to see all the cars u got would be a good videos
love bugeyes! got a sedan myself :)
From Jimmy’s channel. Nice cars 🔥🔥🔥
Welcome and thank you!
This is exactly what my wagon will look like when its done! but in silver and with Enkei RC-T4's
Hell yeah!
Cargo rack delete looks clean
Super slick bro😮
Beautiful build man
Thank you! 🙏

Another one from Jimmy! Noticed that zf1 in the background…would love to see some videos on it…
Good eye! The zf1 is K20 swapped and was a daily of mine but I sold it to a customer and we are building an endurance racecar! Vids to come
Do the camber/caster plates that you offer work on a zf2?
yesss save all the GDs

Please do a video on the type r ❤
We plan to! That car has a looong story
Here from Oakes Garage 🤝👍
Stick around! More Subaru up next
Could use a turbo upgrade! Already have other upgrades to go along. Just like a 16g or 18g
If I were to do anything it would be to run one of our rotated efr6258 setups otherwise stock turbo for me. The smaller the better for response.

I have a 03 blob eye. love the 2L's have the jdm ej205 as well as that's what they came with here. Are you making 300 wheel on a TD04 or a sti turbo?
Td04 original turbo, about 20psi and I tuned it opensource with speed density. It certainly runs out of steam up top but for the immediate spool and grunt to pal around town with the kids its perfect 👌 ive got plenty of other cars with too much horsepower
No rear strut bar 😢, it really transforms the wagon.
Gotta maintain that wagon storage functionality, it's a family wag after all
