This is a car I've never thought about for many years as I dabbled in turbo 6s and V8s after getting a license but as a kid the GC8 STI was the poster car for me and just recently I've falling back in love with it, bringing back that nostalgic love I had for it when I was a kid. Such a nice car
As an ex-WRX and EVO 6 owner I can say that launching these well is far from consistent and requires a degree of mechanical sadism $$$ that generally breaks stuff. As a current RS3 owner I can say the DCT gearbox and launch control is worth more than the engine itself. Can’t beat em, join em.
Wow that gc8 is an animal! Will shock some people for sure 🔥🔥 great video 📹 where abouts are you from? I also have 2 v1 gc8 imprezas I am currently restoring with some youths to teach them the love for subarus on my channel. The sound on boost on your car is amazing!!!
Definitely shcoked me man haha Sydney Australia my man. It's my friends car man not mine, I'm on the other is side of the comp... Evo ;) Subbed to your channel :)

If you can build a WRX to 430kwatw - you can afford a $220 Dragy and do proper data gathering and improvement. Sharing the data with the community online through the app, is also useful.
@@streetsdownunder2917what ? NOOOOO WAY 😢, bro that’s what I did sold mine too, and then I instantly regretted it, fast forward 5 years and I ended up buying it back ahaha, But you reckon you could get the specs of it ? Or even tell me the new owners instaaaa ?
One of the best sounding wrx/sti I have ever heard. Sound so good with a tuned exhaust and not just a straight pipe.

I mean, you’d hope a more modern car can out perform these 90s cars
@@idontreadreplies.252If these 90s cars are modded, not really.
Most unreliable cars ever
RS3’s are animals , easy to get to 10’with a tune, the ultimate cheat code - good choice
@@idontreadreplies.252 you’d hope modern WRXs and STi could beat the old GC models - but unfortunately they can’t- thanks to added weight
@@dash-kt7uf When it comes to reliability, Audi is no better than Subaru.
Need more videos of this!!!
SUBARU impreza GC8 | 22B version WRX STi is the most classic beautiful car body forever !!! ❤❤❤
Agreed
The best impreza generation.
Agreed
What dash you running there? Also, would love to see the mod list for this beast!

@@streetsdownunder2917 True unicorn 😭
Man that’s one fun Rex. Is there another video showing what’s been done the turbo sound is amazing. ?
Sure is ! I'll do a breakdown of the car next chance I get 💪
damn what are the specs on that gc8 .. great response. what is the 100-200kph 1/4 mile?
and this is why im saving up for a precision turbo lol
that gc8 is freacking fast
Love it!
Fark that is mental.
I know man and the scary thing is the owner has just finished rebuilding it for more power !!! Stay Tuned :)

Sweet car. which turbski?
From memory maybe a 6266 precision
@@streetsdownunder2917 Got it, thanks! Was the spool time decent for street? Also curious if you still have the car.
sounds fkn tuff!! love it
Nice accel... but that windshield is so dirty! :P
We like to live life on the edge 😂😂
Is this the 2.0? I'm planning to import a mean eye to the states in a few years.
From memory i think it was a built 2.5
Hey bro interested in whats done too it as i just bought and need some ideas
If you can build a WRX to 430kwatw - you can afford a $220 Dragy and do proper data gathering and improvement. Sharing the data with the community online through the app, is also useful.
Hahaha I agree with you, but also after a 430kwatw build, brothers be broke 😂
@@streetsdownunder2917 - 😂
Just curious. Is this my old car. I think it was #340. Perth? Ex-SHOWGUN?
2.1L?
I built the motor.
Hey mate, no this isn't your old beast although I'd be keen to see a 2.1 on an EJ.
Hope your building another one 👍
WOW shotgun baby
is this in perth? if it is i'd love to see it driving one day, dream car
Nah mate this is in Sydney. Great cars. Hope you end up with one before they go for triple digits lol
What makes it blow off like that ?! Is it a ETS rotated turbo kit ?
Honestly wouldn't know man, not finiliar with the EJ platform. I was just the cameraman 😆
That windshield is so vaped up you can barely see.
That's because you have three male bears breathing heavily cause of the cars g-forces lol
6 mt transmission is not modify?
Nice dash!! Where did you score that? I'm in the process of rebuilding my 98 gc8... 😁
It's the new Haltech dash, dont know where the owner got it from. Awesome cars man, all the best with the build 👍
super subaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Song remix ?
Amazing car but no way the power claimed. Still sounds and looks insane 😍
definitely is the power claimed.
It is the power claimed. Needed wider tires and a proper suspension setup cause that thing does not like going straight lol
Any chance on some specs of the car
2.5L bottom end with 2.0L Head, 6466 Precision turbo, surge tank set up with a haltec ECU. That's the basic run down man 👍
Bro we need the full specs man, where’s the follow up video for this tning, things of it’s head cuz
Owner sold the car man. Definitely a decision he regrets 😂
@@streetsdownunder2917what ? NOOOOO WAY 😢, bro that’s what I did sold mine too, and then I instantly regretted it, fast forward 5 years and I ended up buying it back ahaha,

I would love to know the full spec, sounds amazing!
Man this car is about to hit the streets bigger and better! stay tuned and I'll get a breakdown of the build 👍

@@Dimenxions oh I'm not mad about that
We all drive to our style bro, no denying the thing is a beast
who tuned ur car bro
Not sure man, i think osman racing but i could be wrong
How many times it blew up?
They always blow up - so unreliable
Not sure man but the EJ platform is a tricky one.
@@streetsdownunder2917mines been ok but on small mods
Song?
Devilish Trio - Nose to The Grindstone (Skeler remix)
Please tell me someone has a build list
may i know full detail on the motor
The full comprehensive details i don't know but if you email me i can ask the owner to send me a list which i can forward on :)
@@streetsdownunder2917 Pls post the list in description mate :)
My guess is built 2L with PT6266 and reaaaaly agressive cams ;p
Looks like you need longer gears
Longer gears and longer roads lol
6mt transmission?
6 speed
We need longer videos! Especially of the evo
