There's 4 parts now, with 2 more coming out tomorrow... A good little series so far.

I like how calm Turbo Yoda is with all the filming going on, but you can tell he's not happy about being on screen!

by far not a cheap build. I was expecting somewhat more of a ghetto style build, but they stick brand new and high performance, expensive parts into that legacy wagon.

a brand new engine (even though a test one), the plastic intake manifold surprised me, however;
6spd gearbox;
STI brakes front and read;

garrett turbo still to come, i wonder what injectors are they going to use, and the ECU will no doubt be a high end haltech one from their friends.

enjoyable none the less, but very far from their first videos and their actual rise to fame, where they did a lot of work on their front drive and used a lot of second hand stuff.

one can clearly see that they have got their hands on some money.

I'm sure they have made some good money from it, but the driveway mods have always been a weekend hobby.

They met through music being sound technicians etc so have got educations and other talents, this has always been treated as a weekend activity.

Of course it's going to escalate when people start throwing parts and cash their way to make it for the advertisement side of things!

I just hope they continue with the current format and not get too carried away with it all..

It's been nice watching the progression over the years, but all good things eventually get spoilt. I'll just be enjoying watching the journey they take

With the 6 speed, could that fit into an Impreza? As he said that it was from a 2004 legacy and not from your typical Impreza STi where 6 speed gearboxes are commonly associated with.

Price wise do they differ much? As it was noted that these 6 speeds could handle 450kw (around 600hp) to the wheels, and if sourced cheaply enough, could it be a more cost effective route to take for those looking to replace their 5 speeds with stronger units witbout spending thousands?

In addition which legacy's have the 6 speed which are strong enough to handle this stated power?

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.
