    For anyone stressin taking apart such a nice car I feel you 100% - Sourcing out parts will take so much time we don’t have to keep moving on this build at this pace to keep putting out videos and by the time I purchase a motor, trans, brembos, rear diff, axels, etc I’m almost at the same cost as this whole car. Parts are not easy to come by for a decent price 💀 I got a really good deal on this car so I’ll have to sacrifice this car unless something else pops up. If you find a good donor car for a solid price that’s a 2005-2007 in your area DM me on Instagram please @cameronalford I’m still searching for a better donor car option, even with a blown motor so I can sell this and save money. My priority is building this car quick tho to keep this series movin!🏁

      Don’t tear it apart it’s such a clean car, you can go on copart to find wrecked STIs for a fraction of the price with all its interior and exterior

      this guys selling his for 13.5k im in Illinois we have subarus everywhere. this is the cheapest right now. ive seen 05-06 sti go as low as 8k around here. i had a wrx swapped sti and regular sti before. i just bought a evo 8 myself so i feel your pain.

    In future, you REALLY should prime the new oil filter when changing it - that is to say you fill it (fully) with oil before fitting it. It's a good precaution to take with these engines!

    Thoughts on the oem Mazda rx8 oil filters for our cars? Heard nothing but good things. Also, the fujimoto oil drain plugs make oil changes a breeze and a must IMO. As an RSTI owner myself (full 06' swap/400whp) I can't wait to see this project complete!
