Hello from the states guys can't wait for you to return for more awesome content

I just wanted to know if ye would send me stickers if not at least I asked

Hey guys, my last shipping update was may 16. Is there any other way to track my order to Canada?

@@pking6021 shoot us an email we'll check on it for you!

Inception

also did that and now i miss being an actual mechanic and work on my car...miss that

@@cenourattis why not anymore a mechanic?

I do the same. But I'm in lawncare. So it's truly watching the grass grow...if its in your blood you are kinda obsessed.

Truuuuuue. Feel like that could also be more reason for colabs now though

He's a Subaru guru not just a legend 😁 as much much as moog hates to admit it. Essentially Subaru has made the channel what it is 😁 moog secretly loves them too

Is he,do you know him personally....

you're gonna love it!

only the STI 6 speed is any good. the standard 6 speed is junk like the 5 speeds.

imoo vabull I’ve got a v6 prodrive pack 6 speed to through in

I've got a v7 STI 6 speed I'm about to swap into my bc6 legacy!

I'd love to get one for my BG Outback.

They were ahead of the curve in global platform manufacture well before this decade where others have followed, though not all 6spds from Subaru are the same, the STi gear has a much shorter throw than a WRX or the std 6spd from any Legacy or other model, so the boys aren’t 100% correct there and it is stronger than the std 6spd, part of why an STI costs more, it’s not just a badge courage like riding the town bike!

@@maverick2242 the main problem with the 5 speed subie transmissions is the case and the small gear size, all the six speed transmissions from this era share the case and gear size, which are much bigger than the 5 speed, so any 6 speed is waaayyy better in almost every way from the era, even the legacy one is as strong as the sti one because the 6 speed legacy trans only came with the ez30 engine from the spec-b versions

@@maverick2242 I mean...I can bolt the trans from a 2004 GTI into a 1977 golf. It's not something new.

Hondas are pretty much the same. Especially late 80s/early 90s. You can kinda take bits from one and put them on another for easy bolt on upgrades. Take Integra suspension bits and put them on a Civic, you'll get good results. I've got a project Honda, first gen Integra. Engine is a D16A3 which has the same bottom end as the EK Civic. Cheap to build a bottom end, but DOHC 16 valve head as opposed to a SOHC 12 valve with VTEC. Throw in the 5th gear from '85 Accord and the factory LSD from a '92 Civic and bam. Hillclimb monster with short gears 1-4 and a tall enough 5th to crack 200km/h. For peanuts. Also VTEC is a fuel economy thing. 80's DOHC stuff revs to the moon and is way more aggressive off the line. I feel like this applies to a lot of cars though. My best mate is a Ford guy and he often gives me information on using stock parts to make crazy stuff. Particularly with Falcons. Like apparently LPG taxi engines from BA Falcons have the same bottom end as the XR6t. So I assume this same thing applies to a lot of other cars.

@@dadi2450 Thats not why 5speed is getting damaged at all. Main reason is subaru just kept reusing 5mt box that was only ever meant for naturally aspirated ej15-ej25 motors. Adding a turbo adds tonanof torque and in veru brutal fashion especially if people go ham with boost instead of keeping it stock. Its already strained to its limit with 320nM of torque from WRX's motor. It is true that other 6 speeds like one in newer wrx and crosstrek/xv/2L Legacies was not based on 6mt of sti but was a rework of very same 5mt again, case is very similar, it was strenghtened a little tho and sadly is cable actuated unlike STi/Spec B 6 speed box and old 5mt.

Heh, yeah in the vid it's like the background is on a short loop :)

It isn't easy being an arm chair mechanic! The real struggle is having to get up and grab another beer 😂

It's the only time I get t see a dismantled car with my hands being clean.

Or how clean these cars are one bolt will take hours living in the north east

"Marty and Moog make it look so easy!" 4 days later: "Be a car guy, they said. It'll be fun, they said. I swear to God if I hit my knuckles one more time you'll be able to see bone through the skin. Who thought it was a good idea to design it this way? How am I supposed to reach that bolt? I should just buy a new car"

If you like this kind of armchair engineering, check out bad obsession motorsport. It’s crazy!!

That sounds awesome! Have you upped the power, too, or just the conversion?

Manual SVX is amazing. I threw an LGT 5mt in mine, love the 4.11's! Thinking of going rwd...

@@iplaysdrums I've done just about everything but. Adding power to these cars basically requires forced induction, and that's no small task. There's no aftermarket, so everything must be custom one off.

Those svx's have to be one of my favorite looking cars!

Some from Wisconsin hahaha

We know your pain, sincerely, Canadians.

I live in Alberta, Canada and a couple weeks ago I was working on a 3 year old truck that had a bunch of bolts seized with rust. It's brutal!

Here in Maine also...

Broken bolts everywhere. Seized bolts everywhere else. I hate NY.

Kevin Garrett Driving feeling sportier drinks more fuel. Nothing to do with bushings lol!

@@fastinradfordable Either he's not joking and wheel alignment is out of whack or he means that because it now feels right, it has encouraged him to drive faster thus increasing fuel usage as a direct consequence 😁

I was suprised to see they didn’t do that, I would

Just doing that on my type R, and new suspension all round

Just did mine on the miata, a whole new world. And even beyond being damaged, i realize the precedent owner mounted them without knowing you're supposed to tighten them with the suspension compressed. The car went down almost 5cm just from installing them right. Breaks my spine every speed bump now though.

Launch in 2nd?

@@mightycarmods at 7.5k rpm sure. From Auckland if you guys would like a ride. I'm sure my insurance company won't like me but that's fine, I'm 62k NZD deep now. #projectCarLife

It never really gets old does it?

i just rewatched that a few days ago

Glad to hear it joe

I thought it was my phone

Yeah the occasional flash of green.

It's probably some currupted files in the video, I reckon they decides to post it anyway so the we at least got a video

@@Moggzy_ my flashes were not occasional, they came about once every four to five seconds.

I didnt have any such flashes myself.

thanks for the support!

Mighty Car Mods yeah! Thanks for keeping up the content.

Mind filling me in? It has to have some sort of meaning, but I'll admit it's lost on me.

Always reminds me of the Best Motoring vids... maybe a intentional reference to those too by them, perhaps... I dunno

It's the sex fist that they took to them in NZ

@@cattalematt Its the sex fist that they "Caught" when fishing in NZ

It seems like an homage to Russell Flights All Aussie Adventures hand shaking scenes :)

Usually less gears mean more room for strength, like Celica 4 speeds etc. but yeh funny how Subaru is different.

Same thing for the S15 guys! Swap out the 6 speed for a 5 speed!

evo guy here. that is some weird stuff. its like these cars are from different planets.

With subies it's the moreso about the shape of the box. Cause the 5 speed is split down the middle into halves it warps slightly under lots of load which causes the gears to shatter being misaligned. 6 speeds are beefy and not split with chunkier gear sets so they can handle more power :)

That’s because the EVO gearbox was not changed or updated, Mitsushittsi decided they could fit another gear in the same box which they did, so actually made it weaker, again these were cars for the street not a serious machine for modding, if you do that you build the car accordingly, every car stock is going to have issues somewhere once you start adding power. Where as the STI gearbox here was developed, I learnt something I didn’t realise the other half of Nazi family VW / Porsche helped develop it.

you could be right, but we'll still kill it

Mighty Car Mods build it, break it, repeat 💪🏼 that’s what we’re here to see

@@mightycarmods I can say, 250 whp, but able to do near dead clutch drops, it's a whole lot of fun.

At least it shouldnt break. That's what's important.

IIRC Not long ago a spare 3.6 was spotted lurking about the shop. Is it possible the WRX is going to become a Superbeast?

Same

It's the video

Glad I'm not the only one

I stopped the video to check the comments to make sure I wasn't going insane

yup nope its me too. It's something with the rendering of the video that's gone wrong.

Good luck with everything.. hope you're out at some stage to enjoy the open world that is reality again..

do it do it do it

@@mightycarmods alright you've convinced me. 😂❤

@@wanderer397 I've got plenty of other projects as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Zach Seaverns if you in america i would buy it from you, i have a GC8 coupe with the STI swap because america never came with a turbo

@@Jonjims1532 i keep hearing excuses!

The way Moog lowered the old gear box hurt my back

Rake will be forever missed. I hope he comes back someday.

Only if you drive like a hoon.

They do have glass transmissions in the early years now the trans is great but the engines blow literally

I know exactly what your talking about. I sold my old rex cause i had a "feeling" the gearbox was gonna go. You just know....

Trashed my 2002 WRX gearbox twice - both times 3rd gear let go... Not sure that 340bhp, track tyres and a very hot track day were such a great idea...

I got jammed out of 2rd gear in my Forester XT after I tried shifting at redline while doing helis. The syncromesh gets stuck as the failed shift puts burrs on the edges but it eventually freed it self up and was fine after that.

Lol nice

Haha and they're in Sydney where it doesn't even get cold ever (saying that from a much colder part of Australia).

@@dominic5824 they can shake enough and shift themselves XD

HTML5 semi-automatic neutral controlled with murphys logic.

pretty sure trabants were 4 speed with 4th speed being a freewheel, so you could coast.

@@hojnikb The only way to pick up speed beyond 100km/h :D

Trabants will always be cooler than any Subaru.

Whoa man! I just replaced the thermal paste on my old chromecast and I tought I killed it 😂👌

Just got a new to me gpu and that frame gave me a mini heart attack.

Subliminal messages 😉

Also front Subaru badge...

and the wrong rear lights...

There's a difference between using, and being a monkey at the wheel.

*abuse

Datsalottadamage

After that he sawed a boat in half

Then shows 2 seperate clips of him breaking Subaru driveline bits

He also was saying 4th was crunchy on the track day vids

He’s going to add more horspurs, did you not watch the video

I always think of Russel Coight with those hand shakes. I remember a monkey hand when he met a 'abo' 😂 PC crowd would be all over that now...
