Driving from Florida to Alaska - Episode 1

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We drove our turbo cars from Florida to Alaska. We took our STI drivetrain swapped Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Evo 9 MR on a journey of over 10,000 miles. This isn't click bait, we actually did it! Or rather, you'll have to watch to find out if we actually made it all the way!
HUGE thanks to Advance Auto Parts for making this trip happen! They were kind enough to sponsor this trip and save us every time we broke down, which happened more frequently than I'd like to admit.

    Brake upgrades great for track...not all that useful in real life except going down huge mountains... If you can lock up your wheels (or trigger anti-lock) at a given speed, you don't need a brake upgrade. If you want to stop faster with wheels that aren't turning, you need better grip...aka tires (or less mass).

    The brake pads, rotors and drive belts should be replaced before the trip, I have never seen anyone bring those parts with them on a long road trip. They are maintenance items not emergency items to bring on a road trip. Instead, I would put a roof rack on both cars, mount a couple spare wheels on them and take a few Jerry cans full of premium fuel, some essential tools and some first aids kits will be useful as well.

    A Dutch couple named Dirk Jan Roeleven and Hester van der Vliet drove their 17 years old Subaru Forester with over 500.000 km on it (!) from the Netherlands back to the Subaru factory in Yajima, near Tokyo. During their 17 weeks, 24.000 km long journey they crossed Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Korea and Japan. The old car made the journey without problems. Two light bulbs had to be replaced. And the wipers after they had been stolen. In Kazakhstan the shock absorbers were replaced as a precaution because in Mongolia there are hardly any paved roads. In Japan they were welcomed as heroes.

    I did this solo on a whim from Allentown, PA to Mnt Mickinly via Fairbanks in 1989 with my 79 Mustang hatchback 302, 4sp that had over 250k miles on it. No support. Only carried extra wipers and essential tools. Took 5 days to reach Tok, AK (lost a day to the trans failing in BC). The entire Alcan hwy was dirt back then. Returned via Hanes, AK ferry to Prince Rupert Canada then drove straight through to the Bay area. Two days later drove 41 hours straight back to PA. Lots of exploring along the way in Alaska and the Yukon. All done in 3.5 weeks. Lost all 4 headlights and one wiper one night as a semi coming from the opposite direction peppered me with rocks in the Yukon. Got replacements in Tok, AK. It was an amazing trip. Wish there were cameras like today's back then. Hid under an overpass on I-80 in NE as a tornado roared over just after 8"s of hail had fallen. My first rest was Cheyenne, WY. Had to get a new trans in Dawson Creek, BC. Ford dealer had one in stock and had me back on the road the next day for $500. Limped over 150 miles and an mnt pass stuck in 3 gear to get to Dawson Creek. That car got lots of stares along the way. No flat tires and never ran out of gas. Often gas stations were spaced nearly at my cars range limit. Picked up one hitchhiker in the Yukon. The worse thing about the trip was the horrible 55 mph speed limit in those days. With all the roads being paved these days and way more populated areas, there's no need for all those extra parts. Start the trip with new brakes and a belt. If needed pick up the extra parts cheaper in Canada with the exchange rate. Camped and car camped the entire trip except for the last night in San Jose, CA. I really wanted to drive up to the arctic circle from Fairbanks but, the locals talked me out of it due to the permafrost and marsh-like conditions back then saying the Stang would get stuck quite easily. A/C? I rolled my windows down :-) Yes, rolled. No power windows or door locks. A cool sunroof was nice. I chuckle when they say the middle of nowhere in TX when your on an interstate Hwy and you have mobile phones and back up. Still, good to see others doing road trips like this. Trips like these are so much fun. Next time take an old Ford so not so many stops for repairs :-) Total mileage was 18k+ miles.

It's a different trip now with paved roads, rest stops, and pretty heavy traffic during the summer season. It's no longer the crazy trip it was when you did it but it's still an adventure.

    I watched this series 5 years ago when I drove a broken down mk.4 GTI in high school. I Remember the excitement it brought when I first watched it. Here I am 5 years later, with an Evo X and the same enthusiasm for this as I had 5 years ago. brings me back and makes me happy to visit this again.

    Great video's guys. Came here from the Rx-7 Video and also watched the Racer v Tesla video. Good content. I will say I drove, in a 2004 Jeep Cherokee with over 140,000 miles from Colorado to Montana, down South to AZ (going through Idaho and Utah) and I then went west to California. To return, I went back through AZ, up into Nevada, and back through Utah to get back to Denver. It was a fun trip, but the Jeep definitely had it's issues. You push a car for that hard and that long, you've got to be prepared to work on it, and I'm glad you show this. It was ultimately a year after this trip that the Jeep died. Long winters and road salt rusted the frame, brakes, and even axle to no return. Fun vehicle while I had it though.

    Serpentine belt service interval is 60-100K, brakes 20-60K depending on driving conditions. Since you're mostly doing highway miles, I doubt you'll wear out much of your brake pads. You're just doing a promo for advanced auto parts. Many of these things can be purchased anywhere. The only thing I'd make sure to have is AAA, a large tool kit, a spare tire, a tire repair kit, an air pump, fluids, and lots of alcohol. And also a reminder to myself, don't buy a Subaru or a Mitsubitshi and buy a Prius.

Worst of all, we had to take a 6 hr detour to Yosemite because the west entrance was closed. It couldn't go over 80 MPH on an 80 MPH highway at WOT. I offered to take my Mini Cooper S but he wanted to take his POS gas guzzler while I get 34mpg on the highway with a 21 cu.ft. Yakima roof cargo carrier and his gets....10-13.

I replaced my brakes, got myself new tires, got a complete fluid replacement(engine oil, servo fluid, transmission fluid, all kinds of coolants,) and new sparkplugs. Well in all the 7900 kilometers, i had to get new tires in iran after i had two flats. And i had to get a rim replaced after it broke hitting a pothole. Well it was no good idea and i had to ship my car back to Germany from India.

    I've done a couple of road trips with my friends, but living on an island means it's almost over in a day. Great video, awesome views, I love the cars.

    I drove my Evo IX from Texas back to North Carolina straight and did it completely starting at around 6 in the afternoon to the next afternoon. No issues at all. A nicely built evo is a very reliable car. Mine has 150k on it.

    Just watched the first 6 minutes! What a beautiful country, I've always dreamed to visit USA, but didn't know how it's really beautiful until I've discovered this video :) It's still one of my most dreams. Now I know what to do when I have some free time in USA >> fill your tank, take the road and enjoy the landscape.

    I’m wondering who is filming them from the side of the road. And how many times they have to drive back to pick that guy up for the scenes

    I reckon they might've had a beater car following them with the videographer/intern driving it.

    Beater car was, of course, the one that didn't break down at all through the entire trip.

    Around winter1994, drove from Calgary to Florida in a 93 Cavalier Z24 with a manual transmission... Drove through all kinds of conditions....from extreme cold and snow to torrential rainstorms... My friend at the time who I accompanied made a rule stating we would pay for our own fines, speeding tickets etc... She got four tickets, I got none...and I was just as flagrant at driving over the posted speed limits....I got lucky and she was pissed but rules are rules... No vehicle issues...
