Man, DirtFish really brings me hope that there is a chance of making the rally world here in North America even better. Hope everyoen gets the chance to race in the national events, seems like a lot of fun
@@DirtFish The biggest help to the sport would be getting the ARA to respond to emails and inquiries. I've been trying to get a logbook started since October. The sport can't grow if people aren't allowed to participate.

Thanks to Travis Pastrana there will be..arc .. American rally cross associateion just like closed and said we're done at the end of the 2018 season right before carona hit!!?
Very nice video. I didn't realise you could reverse the stock intake manifold. I'd love to hear more about what it took to get that done. I think that's a good move for any of the FMIC guys.
Between Dirtfish and Team O’Neil the US should be putting out some pretty damn good rally drivers in the future. Rally’s looking good in the US, wish rallycross would catch on better.
This is very informative. I have had a desire to one day do rally. That is always my dream. I have followed your videos . I appreciate all the information you provide.
Great video and I’m happy you recommend the ej20 I have a factory manual prodrive, ej20 wrx sti wagon with quaife differentials all around and a dealership fitted fia certified roll cage
Can you show some details on your fender liners at some point. Everyone refers to them, but I can’t find any detail videos to build our own for rally cross. Great walk through.
Good video, but small correction: Reiger is very good dampers but are not used by any of the top WRC team as far as I know: M-Sport Ford: ZF Sachs (previously Reiger) Hyundai: PKM (French, previously Italian EXT) Toyota: BOS
What is the weight balance of the car? With the engine in front of the front axles is there the concern that the nose will dive down if the car goes airborne?
what kinda diff do u use for front，center & rear？do u use active center diff to do power split of 50：50 or 30：70，something like that？r u using carbon fiber trans shaft？also，i heard that some subaru rally cars use v-mount intercooler layout，any reason u prefer front mount？thanks for ur high quality video as always！
We use the STI R4 plated front diff, OEM center diff and Cusco 1.5 way diff in the rear. The Motec ECU controls electronic portion of center differential. We do use a carbon fiber driveline. The front-mount can be larger and provide better cooling.
Great video! A few questions: What lights do you use on the hood? What fuel does the engine use? How much power is it tuned for, or does that vary by event? Is lack of AC an issue on hotter events? Does the car still have heat?

Great question. It’s similar to Group N, but there are less restrictions, so it has the sequential gearbox, it’s lighter, has a custom wiring loom, a custom cooling package, etc.
Could you show or give info on what you did for the plastic splash guards? Does it have a gap between the underbody and the plastic? Any tips for making that are much appreciated
A Question: when you analyze the roads of a country like Dominican Republic with the huge dips in the streets in areas, big crater type holes you can sometimes run into, huge bumpers on some roads. I was thinking if I moved there that WRX Sti really is too low to the ground. What kinds of things would need to be done to raise it high enough to not get damaged at the same time have high performance?
Anybody have a good website that can show what events are happening that dirtfish partake in? Just found out the facility is near where I live and Im trying to watch in person!
We don't currently have anything planned for motorsports yet, but we will have classes starting back up once the lockdown has been lifted. If we do compete in any motorsports this year, we'll make that schedule available to everyone.
i may be too late to the game but im looking to fit 15" wheels on my wrx as well. I was thinking i can swap in oem 2 pot calipers. What model of PFC Brakes are you using?
why do 15 plus cars dont allow left foot braking? the engine shuts down when it senses lfb:( and also abs cannot be remove, engine falls in safety mode and blocks rpm at 4000 , misss my 2013:(
I’m interested in rally. My question is “can any car be used In rally (I have a Nissan Maxima 2011 and been debating on making it a rally build later on)
We’ve been working on a few plans for it.😉 First, we need to get to the other side of the current situation. Once we do, you’ll see it back in the stages.
Any direction on shopping n buying rims, tires, or even brake setup for 2019 WRX? The stock 18” w low profile tires are murder and do Not accommodate the roads or certain driving styles.
To compete in WRC or ARC school is a must... But honestly we need local sanctions to get people rallying. You don't need a $100,000 WRXs or Fiestas to compete. Rallying was just stage racing with regular cars, raced by regular people. Not heavily sponsered Subarus, Mitsubishi, or Ford racing teams. You can rally a damn Kia Soul and it be fun. Lemons is growing because it's accessible. Diets roads are everywhere in America people
No, one does not need souped-up subie to rally, but safety modification alone costs a lot of money. Roll cage, racing harness (which implies bucket seats), and seat mounting are pretty much the bare minimum to pass FIA's Rally5 homologation (I can't really find Canadian CARS or ARA regulations. It's basically Production/Limited 2WD class), And skimping on those is the surefire way to become the next Toivonen/Cresto. Rally5 car has a target price of 40000 Euros for the car alone, nevermind other ancillary costs. That is a huge chunk of change for most people, and is well out of many people's budget. Racing is expensive, stage rallying even more so. Unless we start mass-producing roll cage and racing harness and fit them on stock road cars as standard loadout (which I highly support 🙃), it will continue to be expensive.
Always wanted to see a full breakdown of a rally car, thanks guys! Would love to know the detailing routine after a hard day rallying
No problem! That’s what we’re here for.
Man, DirtFish really brings me hope that there is a chance of making the rally world here in North America even better. Hope everyoen gets the chance to race in the national events, seems like a lot of fun

Great production, great editing, great presentation. But most importantly, great build!
Very nice video. I didn't realise you could reverse the stock intake manifold. I'd love to hear more about what it took to get that done. I think that's a good move for any of the FMIC guys.
We'll try to make a video about that.
Thanks for showing this. Love it

That's the hope! European drivers are on a different level, but there is some potential in the states.
DirtFish it’s in there blood we have nascar and they have rally, and have the starter tracks for rallycross.
I love how you used MTB grip on the handbrake
They make for a great handbrake grip. We have them on all of our cars!
nice to see the only 2 sports I follow uses one's part to another ;)
that ODI right?
Please do a tutorial on the custom fender liners! 6:42
This is very informative. I have had a desire to one day do rally. That is always my dream. I have followed your videos . I appreciate all the information you provide.
We're glad you're enjoying our content!
so freaking awesome. you bring back subara vibe👍
Glad you like it!
That plastic reminds me of UHMW we use it to cover conveyors to prevent employees or product from getting caught in the equipment. strong stuff
How would I be able to start a career in Dirtfish? Subarus are my thing.
Great video and I’m happy you recommend the ej20 I have a factory manual prodrive, ej20 wrx sti wagon with quaife differentials all around and a dealership fitted fia certified roll cage
That sounds like an awesome car!
I can't wait until you guys REOPEN😍 Hope to see you soon
Fingers crossed that we're able to open soon!
Awesome video!!!!
Thanks! How’s your beast of a car doing?
DirtFish more major upgrades underway, hopefully can show you guys in person soon 😉🤙
Can you show some details on your fender liners at some point. Everyone refers to them, but I can’t find any detail videos to build our own for rally cross. Great walk through.
Nice video ! Does the handbrake disengage the rear wheels ? Or you have to clutch while you use it.
Yes, it disconnects the center differential to allow the rear wheels to move freely.
Good video, but small correction: Reiger is very good dampers but are not used by any of the top WRC team as far as I know:
M-Sport Ford: ZF Sachs (previously Reiger)

Great video!! I wish my car looked like that.
It only takes a little bit of work.😉
what kinda diff do u use for front，center & rear？do u use active center diff to do power split of 50：50 or 30：70，something like that？r u using carbon fiber trans shaft？also，i heard that some subaru rally cars use v-mount intercooler layout，any reason u prefer front mount？thanks for ur high quality video as always！

@@DirtFish thank u so much！very helpful！
Great video! A few questions:
What lights do you use on the hood?
What fuel does the engine use?
How much power is it tuned for, or does that vary by event?
Is lack of AC an issue on hotter events? Does the car still have heat?
the lights are diode dynamics ss led bars and hood mount. the rest... well, you'll just have to see if the dirtfish crew will expose those secrets ;D
Great car, definitely powerful!
What 2L are you using? The JDM sti, US wrx...other? Love the set up and cant wait to Dirtfish again!
It's the older JDM STI engine.
Are the Lower Control Arms the OEM aluminum 15+ WRX STI ?
Yes, they are but we weld extra steel to them to give them a bit more strength.
What lsd are typically used for front, center and rear diffs? And what would you recommend for street/rallyx? 1way, 1.5way or 2 way?
We use the STI R4 plated front diff, OEM center diff and Cusco 1.5 way diff in the rear. The Motec ECU controls electronic portion of center differential.
Have you guys ever done a video of how to get into rally professionally?
That one is in the works!
I haven’t seen it asked yet but is there something special about the exhaust that makes it sound that way? I love it!
It has equal length headers installed.
great video!
Did you get a normal car off the showroom floor and tear it apart or did Subaru deliver, like, a car with no interior, no engine, etc?
haha cool, i'm in the shot from TdF 2018. wearing a DF hoodie too.
@dirtfish, i plan on buying a stock 2011 subaru wrx sti hatchback, what should i change/modify first to make it a rally spec car. Thank you .
Suspension, wheels and tires! But also a roll cage to keep you safe.
👍Looks good, I'll take it.
I want one of these they're like unbreakable
Have you done any modifications to the suspension arms or linkages?
We strengthen everything by welding on steel plates.
How close is the Dirtfish WRX STI NR4 in DiRT 2.0 to this car in terms of power/weight, equipment, etc?
Great question. It’s similar to Group N, but there are less restrictions, so it has the sequential gearbox, it’s lighter, has a custom wiring loom, a custom cooling package, etc.
Could you show or give info on what you did for the plastic splash guards? Does it have a gap between the underbody and the plastic? Any tips for making that are much appreciated
How much does this end up costing?
Damn I want my 2021 WRX Subaru to look and preform like this😍
So cool

awesome
Beautiful
Heyy guys! I still did not understand how you fitted the 15 inch wheels. Maybe an explanation on how you did things would be awesome!!
Following from Uganda #antilag rally club
do you have more details on the suspension? is the car lifted at all? did the wheels/tire combo give you the lift you need?
How much was the project all together? Subaru and modifications.
I'm also curious. Probably around 100k not including the car itself lol. One day I'll build a rally car 💪
I feel it that's why I was curious about savings lol
If you give us a call, we can provide a quote for a car like this.

I've been interested in a street legal build for an STI. Don't know where to begin
I need some of those mudflaps mounts!
Seems like a lot of changes to still be classed as Limited 4WD
How much HP the car makes?
Is it a similar spec like the car produced by JRM group UK..?
With the 34mm restrictor, it's about 290 horsepower to the wheels.
This car is not same rally sti that Pastrana uses in championship?
Hey guys, what modification have you done to change the double wishbone suspension geometry to a macpherson suspension ?
cheers
Love this, how much did the full conversion cost?
fuckign sick
What parts of the car are stock, if any? Is it just the chassis?
How do you source parts for a vf37 twin scroll? I have one and can't find anything thats not ebay trash.
Why haven’t you tried remounting the 02-07 RPG WRC wing for sidewall drag? Curious why the wing is left stock.
If this was an Open Class car, we would. There's only so much that we can change on this car because of the class that it's running in.
I thought EJ25 is a stronger motor?
Crazy to think they’re using a wrx 2lt and not the sti 2.4lt engine
About the mud flaps how much the cost all 4 tires?
I saw this car at the Portland auto show
How are you guys controlling the diff lock?, would it be similar for an older ej20 wrx
i may be too late to the game but im looking to fit 15" wheels on my wrx as well. I was thinking i can swap in oem 2 pot calipers. What model of PFC Brakes are you using?
Tony... "its not like a typical subaru".... oh? You don't say? Lol
Good job👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
why do 15 plus cars dont allow left foot braking? the engine shuts down when it senses lfb:( and also abs cannot be remove, engine falls in safety mode and blocks rpm at 4000 , misss my 2013:(
The grip on the E Brake looks like a mountain bike lock on grip. Is that what it is?
I’m interested in rally. My question is “can any car be used In rally (I have a Nissan Maxima 2011 and been debating on making it a rally build later on)
I do not understand this at all, so for what Group is it build ?
Wow mobil sangat keren
whats a breakdown of the cost
Whats the full build list from engine to aero to tuning secs?
How many turns/degrees does it take for the steering wheel to go lock to lock?
The ratio is 13:1
How much ground clearance does the car have, or is recommended?
I don't understand why they use the 2.0 instead of the 2.5?
What has the car been up to??? Any future plans to bring her back out??
We’ve been working on a few plans for it.😉 First, we need to get to the other side of the current situation. Once we do, you’ll see it back in the stages.
In which country is dirtfish located
Is the awd system 50-50 or rwd/fwd biased?
Could you tell me what suspension you went with? I couldn’t make it out
Is the EJ20 better than the EJ25? Why not just go fully built FA20
Can we purchase one of these cars from DirtFish?
What does something like this cost to build?
God damn it wanted to see the FA20 in action smh
We have some BRZ's that are running the FA20, but nothing in an STI yet. Maybe someday soon.
What kind of exhaust headers do you guys use?
What exhaust do you have?
Any direction on shopping n buying rims, tires, or even brake setup for 2019 WRX? The stock 18” w low profile tires are murder and do Not accommodate the roads or certain driving styles.

I just found this, but any additional input is appreciated
where is the fuel tank? and how big is it?
This video just made me go from six to midnight, sexy!
We're not sure how to respond to that... Thank you? lol
What does that even mean?
slash N bash he’s referencing clock positions which means that homie got himself all the way up watching this 😂 nice build but idk about that bro
Our team has a very similar car, I think you guys did some things better, and some things we did better, but boy I do love your L4w car
Thanks! What do you think we could have done better?

@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane definitely need local rallying clubs
how much in total it would cost (without the car value added)?
Where can you get the reiger suspension?
How much do you guys (anyone) would a rally build cost. Nothing insane and engineering by the mm just a cool garage rally car build? 100k?
Hey, are you using a standard STI Diffs, axles and Gearbox?
We are not. We've upgraded everything and installed a sequential gearbox.
Will you be able to make my 2008 mazda3 sedan to a rally car just like that one ☝️ it’s bad ass
