During our interview with Austin, he very humbly thanked all of the people who helped make the build possible, including FAST of West Chester, Schmuck Built, Carbon Fiber Element, Nostalgic Grains, and Exact Art Fabrication. Unfortunately, due to my editorial overthinking, that didn't make the final cut, and that's my bad. -Tall Ben

Though he may lack that ability of showing his emotion, it comes to life when starting that car. Pure heart and emotion is what this car breaths. Wonderful!

For the size of turbo, yes. He said himself the turbo is happy in the 35-40psi range and once the motor is built he will crank it up. Medium boost was a reference to the turbo, not towards power. While one turbos efficiency range is maxed out at 29psi, another turbos range may be 40-50psi

One of my all-time favorite builds. Austin's ethos with this car represent everything that I love and aspire to attain as a car enthusiast. A unique style, executed in a clean and tasteful way, all-the-while retaining its functionality. Points for being a WRX hatch, choosing--not only a legendary motor, but to also mate it with an AWD system (befitting a subaru), and adding a wide-body and air suspension, but not cambering it out, so that it remains capable while cornering. A show car capable of track days. Love it.

Kevin K just because he's driving it on the streets does not mean it is street legal. So tell me. How is this street legal? The engine alone wasn't offered in the United States. The engine is of a different manufacturer. The turbo kit isn't legal. The exit path of the exhaust out of the hood is not legal. Hence no catalytic converters. Let's be real here. The car is fully done up from the ground up, do you really think he's retaining all his smog hardware?

A hood exit! But with no hood. So, an exit? ;)

The fact that this whole video was filmed literally 4 minutes away from my house and on roads I literally drive every day blows my mind, cause I’ve never seen this car.. absolutely beautiful build

This is insane! Just the sheer fabrication, custom work, the swap itself, the dry sump, air system, interior, etc. i cant imagine how much time, money, and energy this had to take. So much commitment too, to go through all the way with a build like this with no compromise or half assing, props for this!

Ive been waiting for someone to fo this! Mad respect! Beautiful build! And so happy you put the gtr drive train unstead of just the motor to rear drive!

Subaru and Nissan hmmm This cars name should be "SuSan" ... ohhh thats my moms name

Was going to comment about how it didn't really need to be as mid engine as it is, but then I heard him say he kept the AWD, HUGE props for that. Amazing build.

This is absolutely fantastic, beautiful and clean. I'm in love with this build.

IMO the biggest plus side to using the Nissan trans/awd is the significantly bigger, and thus stronger, diffs that come with the GTR. An R180 can only take so much power. All of this however doesn’t even take into consideration that to pair an RB to a Subaru gearbox, the rear of the engine has to be in front of the front axles; which would place the front of the engine a solid foot out the front of the car.

@raleshkumar8133
