Dirty Engine Detail TRANSFORMATION | Neglected For YEARS!!

Welcome to TRC REX, our first-ever car build series! In this episode, we give our low-mileage 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI it's first ENGINE BAY wash in our professional-grade indoor wash bay!

If you're a fan of surfing online classifieds for deals on used cars, buying them & returning them to their former glory (or beyond it) then this is the series for you!

Basically, you could say we invested in the cheapest Subaru Impreza WRX STI we could find! Now you can bet we're gonna restore, build & drive this mostly-stock beauty from the street TO THE MOON!!!

If you feel like you're suffering from deja vu, that's because this video is a re-upload! Not to worry, though, both videos are the same, so you're not missing out by watching one over the other.

From doing the wheels second to using water to rinse the engine bay (gasp!!) you guys are the rebels of detailing videos.

[LifeisbetterwithaMalinois]

I just cleaned my 7 year old WRX...for the first time. I drive a lot of dirt roads, so its dirty. Thxs for a great video. In going to leave the engine bay to dry out and start it up tomorrow

[johnwalters]

I have probably cleaned 2000 engines in my detailing life, and only about 3 didn’t start and run perfectly. The worst was early in my career on about a mid 80s Supra twin cam. And it was exactly what Levi said, water down the spark plug valleys. Air line and a vacuum was what it took to fix it.

Really need to do my 2000 forester, glad to hear there’s not much to worry about.

Do y'all keep the battery connected when doing engine details?

[DiveandDrive]

Yes! I was just thinking last night how bad I need to detail my engine and bay! Great timing:) 🙏🏼

[rebelliousgoat]

I turned notifications on because you guys got this car!

[viisteist]

e36 bimmer can take pressure wash too?

[davidhardcore]

My check engine light is on and my code reader says p0446 confirmed Evap emission system . Can it be the gas cap it looks new ? What should I do ?

[gmans]

That looks MUCH better now. One of my peaves is a dirty Engine/Compartment. That was a mess. Usually have to take under trays off as we end up pushing the now wet schmutz down to the nether regions.

Wow that was a pretty significant difference in what seemed like a short time (obviously longer than the video) and it looks like it came out very well. I was debating on getting the master blaster till i saw the price and heard it may be too much for your average breaker. Have you seen the dry ice cleaning videos? A friend introduced me to it the other day and looks almost too good to be the expensive cost to get the units lol

[MustangGuy]

What about the coils on some engines? Can’t water leak past the coils and down into the spark plug tubes? What about water ruining the coils themselves?

[jdmotorsport]

Didn’t cover the alternator or any of the electrical

[grandgt]

I was hoping you would show the cleaning of the hood liner....mine was gross and cleaned it and no matter what i do it looks terrible

[tjwreds]

Did a bad job of explaining what you were doing and why. You definitely got a lot of water in the alternator and didn't show us if it started or not after the wash.

[thatkidk]

The whole time I’m like “noooo the alternator cover that shit up!”

[dillonhall]

Don't you think it's better to take the boxer out to really make it clean? Disassemble the parts to get the missing spots

[mdh]

i washed my cars engine bay. Used a hose and water and got water into the alarm... wouldnt go off for 15 minutes. couldnt start the car too :D.

[GreatGrandmasterWang]

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Did you just freaking use a pressure washer for the engine?

[monamaceo]

Speed up to 1.25
On settings ..
