Cool to see how passionately 2 originally non-English Russians explain important changes for track use of your "normal" street car!

[gafrers]

These type of videos are excellent and once again reminds people that Horsepower isn't everything.
I could listen to Oleg and Misha talk about upgrades for hours.
Maybe next video about some Euro Hatchback?

As a subaru owner i could not be more happy to see this, i already have big part of essential mods on my car but i can say a fact about brakes: Front sumitomo 4 pot calipers are used on early r32 gtr, 300zx tt and s14 silvia, all of this cars are heavier than imprezas so the size of the brakes are not the problem, the problem is their construction material, iron and the pots gets rusted and blocked in the caliper with time and you end having only 2 or less pots working. I rebuild them a few years ago with stainless steel pistons and never had a problem with brakes anymore with a propper pad, lines and fluids of course!

this is probably the most informative mid video. pisses me off seeing all the ricey vloggers who dont know what they r doing on youtube. thank you.

[JordiMoll]

More videos like this. We learn something new every day if you do this kind of videos.

I thought I knew nearly everything about Subaru's and tracking a car, but I learnt a lot more about the weakness of Subaru and tracking in general. This can be applied to other older cars.
Thank you for this awesome treasure of information!

Those vodeos are priceless. You and ppl around you do astonishing pice of job/art/life.

I absolutely loved this episode, I have two 2004 Subaru Forester XT's with STI upgrades, and just recently installed a KEIN Fabrication (a company located in the Russian Federation) Rear Strut Tower V-Brace (I think its more an X Brace) which is very similar to the Cusco type OS V-Brace you show, and WOW did that make the biggest difference in the way the car handles. My other Forester has coilover, swaybars, and tires, but the V-Brace made the absolute biggest difference even on a nearly stock suspension (this car only has subframe lockdown bolts, rear sway bar, front sti control arm bar, KEIN Fab V-Brace, KEIN Diff Brace, and KEIN Trunk Brace. It wasn't easy to bend my car back into shape after 16.5 Years of twisting and bending itself out of shape, but my Wife and I managed!

That's the best looking RA-R I've ever seen. Wing looks perfect on it.

45:26 That controller has had a conformal coating bath. They definitely over did a bit there.


Otherwise another very informative video and to the point where I genuinely hadn't noticed It was almost 50 minutes long. Great Job Guys!

[spagfoot]

Another top quality bit of Carmrade YouTube content! My favourite vlogs of yours are always the in depth ones with mechanics and components or talking with Robert etc. Thanks Misha 👍😎

[SPQR_GuiGui]

Great video as always! An episode on evos would be sick!😍

[EA]

It's 03:38 New York time and somehow I'm awake to catch this upload!

[stevecole]

[carbinolwiel]

Thanks Misha and Oleg and more off those videos please guys or Oleg make youre own youtube channel deffinly Evo next time !

[Naefukabootio]

This was great, really informative. Good to see the recommended order in which you should upgrade the parts too.
An Evo vid like this would be amazing!!

[Soarin]

Thanks for the awesome informative video! Please do Evo next 😊

Supercool video M & O. I remember when the first gen Impreza was for sale. It was only 50K guilders/gulden (about 24K Euros) for a street legal rally car. Damn amazing back then!
