Welding Up The Rally Car Firewall and Wiring Harness/Fuse Box Reroute | GC8 Rally Car Rebuild
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Finally back with a new video! Sorry for the huge delay, life has been crazy busy and I've just been struggling to even work on the car. I finally sealed up all the unused holes in the firewall, started adding a couple of the many bulkhead connectors we will we using in the future as well as rerouting the harness.
The biggest thing that needed to be done was the fuse box reroute through the firewall, the old routing went through the wheel well and was prone to damage from being unprotected if the wheel well liner came out. With the new route through the firewall, we shouldn't have to worry about any of it being damaged in the future.

Hope all is okay, missed your videos!
Man been waiting on the next video, these videos convinced me to by a 2000 RS 2.5. On that note I'm dealing with a bunch of rust and re-watching this series on videos have made it easier to wrap my head around welding on the car.

New video is coming out today! Hopefully the videos are somewhat helpful as you're doing the build, Rust is never a fun issue to deal with
By far the best build on KZread
Wahoo! Confirmation that my engineering brain still works!!
What Braydon said hope is all ok. Need more content
We need more vids 😁
As soon as you mentioned bulkhead fittings I had PTSD flashbacks to measuring all of my brake lines and everything for my car. I actually really like the battery bulkhead fittings. That might be something I do down the road also. Super Solid Video!
Hey man post more videos I love the content keep it up,can’t wait for the next update on the car I have a 96 Impreza lx and I’m making it a rally car too, your videos give me a good idea of what I need to do,subie will be rallying soon👍🏻
Ready to run in the rain

One day we'll actually be able to test how weather proof it is! Hopefully better than last time
nice work sir, I love how you are modifying your car with knowledge learnt from your rallying experience. I also need to invest in a band saw :)
I've got a '87 MR2 I run in SCCA Rallycross and some events at the FIRM Rally School. I've been fighting electrical issues for the last couple seasons so I finally took the jump and rewired the car. I'm finishing up this week. First time doing anything like this its a brutal job. Good work on the subie lots of great teams running them down here in FL.
I applaud your effort, and work sealing the firewall. We use FOIL HVAC tape. A few strips over the hole from both sides, sticky to sticky in the hole gap. Works great. Light, fast and no grinding or welding fumes.

That’s a good idea that I’ve seen people do in the past, I’ll keep it in mind for some of the smaller holes I still have but may end up not using.
Been following you for a few years now, great series of video's well put together with great content and not in your face at all.... We're putting a gravel car together and are having some condensation issues in the car when we get into deep damp valleys.( humidity around 95 to 100% ) I noticed you guys always seem to be out in very wet conditions but rarely seem to be effected by this. We're running the original heater core with a bigger fan and have SIlca bags in the dash area. Did hear of a car that was running an RC jet motor as a demister but he said it was very noisy even with coms. Also tried running different size air ducting .... Any tips
Quality content, love it when you upload!!!
Please come back…

Awesome...
You have to paint the subi blue 😤😤
I know that from the factory Subaru ran the brake and fuel lines through the interior, probably for rust prevention, but I am kinda surprised that you're able to keep the fuel lines inside the car when building a race car. That's usually prohibited.

The FIA has specific guidelines that you have to follow if you do run them through the cabin, like a it has to be metallic outside shell and no fittings in the cabin unless they’re bulkhead connections. Most rally cars run them through the cabin with the massive amount of abuse the underside of the car goes through every event.

@@DirtyGarage rally cars are AWd technically although on google it says they are 4wd Because you cannot switch to rwd only and the center diff has a certain amoint of slip so you dont have 100% locked Please correct me if I am wrong I am trying to understand because Gymkhana cars of ken block are all AWD and they have drivetrains and transmissions like a rally car
your not going to paint the bay? really enjoying the channel so far.
Will you be attending to the Sandblast this year?
Gaaaahhh I'm still cutting out those block off plates with an angle grinder. What is this, the stone age??? I need a band saw 😣

It’s so worth it! Makes fabricating small mounts and random pieces so much easier and they come out much nicer too.

Yo I like your vids but you talk so much and do sth like 20 sec in the Video! I think it would be much more interesting if you make shorter vids but use more time where you do something ! Nohate
