Subaru GC8 WRX we have REAR SEATS, the CLEAN UP continues

5 x 100 is also the BRZ / 86 stud pattern so there is a few new designs that work well. Just go for the narrow width option.

Hi mate. As far as wheels keep them period correct. I am a purist at heart , but have done a set of Gold MY00 wheels as this looks epic on the blue. Obviously if you keep the brembos they won’t fit as you mentioned. If you are 100% going to keep brembos refurbish the wheels you have. Don’t go over 17 inch wheels. I restored my former Version 6 STI removed brembos and put stock wheels back on and absolutely loved the stock iconic look. So many GC8 are molested and stockish ones to me stand out. I would sell the wheels and brembos put original brakes on and upgrade the rear calpiers to the pot brakes. With the money you get buy some original wheels do a set in gold and keep a stock set. That’s what I have done.

Chris while you've got the fence clean, roll on some of that fence stain. It'll keep it looking good for years. Neighbour did their fence same time as ours and their fence looks brand new because they stained it while ours has gone grey like yours.

Haha I get ya with the car and house/ I’m fussy like that I hate something not right I generally have to fix it asap

Like my ranger got a dent in door I had to get PDR to remove it / was from a carpark I even found the car that did it and made them pay for the PDR haha

Hay nice job maybe you should pant the wheels from madmax Melbourne 👍👍👍

A set of status grinders will suit it perfectly!

Ordinary dishwashing liquid will get the oil out of the boot carpet. Love your work on this car! Much better getting it back to factory and your attention to detail is amazing!

You should take the boot carpet to the local laundry and load it up with detergent.

Looking forward to the driveway renovation, strip, grind, fill and re-coat.

That’s a 🍿 event.

nice RC car mate, when you doing a video on it?

Just restore those ones they look good then drop it.

Totally the little things! 👍🏻

Grab some genuine Subaru / Rays RE B51 wheels in gold. They were available in AUS but only in grey on the GD WRP10.

Love coming home and seeing a MindieJ upload. Thanks champ.

1st Choice:
Revolution Millennium 7.5J x 18" ET48 wheels. Similar to the Speedline wheels but looks fresh!

2nd Choice :
OZ Racing Supertourismo


Both in Gold 👌 MINT!!!!

OEM BBS 17x7.5 they had on some jap GD STI’s (+53 5x100)

Get the rare bbs sti wheels 5x100 17x7.5 look amazing on GC8 and will clear the brakes

I reckon a set of turbofans or the OZ racing rally type wheel would look clean

You’re putting all this work into the wrx but you’re under carriage is fucked, pushed in and probably rusty af

whats the specs on the panasports? would you sell?

Hey mate,awesome videos...also what site do you purchase your genuine parts from

Quickly becoming my favourite aussie car channel, good shit man.

Better oil that fence now bud 😂

Spray them black and put some good sticky rubber on her and enjoy 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻

Cant go wrong with oz racing superturismo's they fit perfictly on my gf8

I want those rear seats, I cannot locate them online in that black and red cloth pattern.

Gen 4 Subaru Legacy/Liberty tbSTI enkei wheels? They clear the brembos on the legacy/liberty so should clear yours as well. 18X7.5 +50 I believe.

Car looks good but the fence looks mint! Trick I've found to get weathered timber looking new- use Oxalic acid with water (typical rust cleaner in Bunnings) and spray it on. Bleaches the wood back to original colour without the the need for pressure/sanding. It's actually the ingredient in deck clean products

I bought a GC about 6 months ago. Lots you are doing I was the same. And the gear boot part I was laughing at as I went though the same hahaha

Bro you’re a BMX bandit??? ❤

Prodrive PWRC1 18 X 7.5 +46 in gold

You'd be silly not fit some gold RG1's with the decal set and some RE71RS tyres.

Hi @MindieJ - what fluid do you use for your Ultrasonic Cleaner???

My favourite wheel's I've had on my gf8 that clears my brembos are: OG te37's 17x8 or 7.5, Advan RG2 17x7.5, 57c gramlights

I love the attention to detail bro

Machv 17inch black rims .. kinda hard to get a hold of them

GD is all the way up to ‘07 isn’t it? Do the factory 01-05 WRX wheels clear brembos? They look mint on the classics

Where’d you source the genuine gear boot?

Hey chris are you buying the oem parts from subaru here?

Love it

Stain 😂😂😂

I went out and got a bissell spot cleaner today 😉

Put the boot liner in the washing machine on a warm gentle wash, I think it will help.

Te37's in gold or bronze. Timeless classic that looks good on everything.

Reco the wheels. I think since the gc8 the shades of gold changed to a bit brighter with more metalic. Check with the paint shop. I put quality coil overs in my gc8 when i was young and every bush and part from the whiteline catalogue, adjustable swaybars. I ruined the car. Rides terribly (i know the springs are heavy) handling improvements are questionable vs a good set of tyres and lowered king springs (mainly for looks). Id kick my younger self before i wasted thousands again

My wife is upset with you, I saw the Vevor on the original video you linked it to... I bought it.

I saw the new Auto Glym all purpose cleaner in your last video... I went and bought it.

And now my Bissel Auto Mate (smaller version of your one) is leaking and old so guess what I'm off to go buy now 😂

Some gold Advan model 6 or T6 might look okay

Where are you sourcing your OEM parts?

Car's starting to look mint 👌
