Well… 20 volts isn’t normal. Alternator’s out and getting checked.

This is the difference between a clean, reliable harness—and one that’s going to cause problems. Today I’m going to show you exactly how to build this the right way.

If your wiring looks clean on the outside but fails on the inside, it’s not a good harness—it’s just a liability waiting to happen.

In this video, I’m building the interior side of my mil-spec harness from the ECU to the firewall bulkhead, and this is where the details actually matter—shielding, twisting, strain relief… the stuff that separates a reliable system from one that gives you problems later.

Today we’re finalizing all of the interior and chassis wiring to the Emtron ECU — everything inside the car and leading into the engine bay. DR25, proper pinning, routing — all of it.

Today, we finalized the interior and chassis-side wiring to the Emtron ECU in the 2010 WRX.All wiring inside the cabin and leading to the engine bay is wrapp...

If you own an '08–'14 WRX, chances are you’ve either snapped a wheel stud… or you’re about to. Today we’re pulling the factory studs out of my 2010 WRX and upgrading to ARP 2.5-inch extended studs the right way — no shortcuts, no stripped threads, and no half-seated hardware. If you’re tracking your car or swapping wheels often, you need to do this properly. Let’s get into it.

Factory wheel studs on the 2008–2014 Subaru WRX are known to stretch, strip, and snap — especially if you track the car or swap wheels often.In this video, I...

If you own an '08–'14 Subaru WRX and your clutch pedal feels sloppy, clicks, or flexes under load, this video is for you. Today I’m pulling the entire pedal assembly, showing you exactly where Subaru got it wrong, and building my own DIY Humble Rumble bolt kit from scratch — including how to seal everything properly so it stays fixed.

The clutch pedal issue on the 2008–2014 Subaru WRX is not a mystery — it’s a structural failure that Subaru never properly addressed.In this video, I walk th...

This looks insane, right?
That’s because this car no longer has an engine wiring harness.
Today I’m pulling the factory harness completely out of the engine bay, routing it into the cabin, and showing what it actually takes to start a harness from scratch.
It’s not clean yet—but this is the real process before a motorsports-grade setup.

This Subaru WRX has no engine wiring harness—and that wasn’t an accident.In this video, I start by removing the entire dashboard so the factory engine harnes...

So this is my 2010 WRX… and I decided to run 2016-plus STI suspension as part of my STI 6-speed swap.

On paper? It should work.

In reality? I ran straight into rear fitment issues that forced me to tear it back apart.

In this video, I’ll show you what actually works, what doesn’t, and why I had to swap back to narrow-body spindles—so you don’t make the same mistake.

This video breaks down the suspension setup behind my 2010 Subaru WRX STI 6-speed swap — including what worked, what didn’t, and why I had to undo part of it...

If you’re thinking about running a 4” ETS front-mount intercooler on an 08–14 WRX, this video is for you.

In this video, I show exactly what I had to cut, trim, and modify to make it work properly. Just the real process so you can decide if this setup makes sense for your build before you grab a cutoff wheel.

This is a real-time family off-roading drive through the Four Peaks Mountains in Arizona, captured from a roof-mounted POV on the Ram TRX.

The camera rides above the truck as we climb rocky desert terrain, cruise open trails, and let the landscape speak for itself. The footage is set to 3× speed, keeping the flow engaging while preserving the natural sound of the TRX as it moves through the mountains.

No rush. No narration. Just desert trails, engine tone, and time outdoors.

If you enjoy long-form driving footage, off-road exploration, and immersive POV views, this one’s for you.
