@@marksmith1309 Absolutely love the car! Is there any way I could contact you about my ‘08 STI hatch which has rod knock 1 week into ownership 🥴 Instagram etc?
Understated car! My old man used to have one of these before he passed away, was only stock engine with an exhaust/filter, blitz blow off valve and tein coilovers but it still moved and sounded great. Don't ever see them about either.
@@h2489-m2l oh yeah, for sure. I actually (and I might be wrong here) think the casing might also be a weak point. Im actually on the hunt for a ty856 but man, they arent cheap.
That 1-2 shift at 10:35 was money! Such a satisfying shift. What a car! Perfect amount of useable power and props to choosing a different chassis than most :D sick car all round
@@R8V10 and he also says it doesnt have th original engine, tho if it came with a 2.5 standard then jt wouldnt have had the 2.0 ej207 from a jdm sti so wouldnt have had the better set up
Honestly you have to drive a scooby to understand why we love them so much. I want an evo VI as well but nothing is beating that scooby rumble man. And nothing handles like one too. Find it hilarious shocking people on back roads 😂
@@ben6813 Mmm....I had a JDM evo 8, sold it for a JDM widerack STi. Much better all round car in my opinion and hasn't broken down yet haha *touches wood*
For me, sound is almost half the driving experience. Even though evo is faster and more reliable, I went Subaru for the sound (and they are obviously quick as well). I have a NA mx5, rx8 and g3 wide body wrx. Nothing turns heads like the wrx. Even a rotary at full song turns less heads than a Subaru on idle haha
Thing I love about scooby's is that you can just cruise without revving the nuts off it everywhere and still enjoy it with all the noise (burbles) and torque low down, gives it a really distinct but muscle car feel 👌
For me Ricky’s content is the best out there this is what we want the mad super stuff but also the everyday normal people with the suited hondas or Subaru’s and that you would see down the local car park great balance with it all great work every video 🔥🔥
Mark, seriously, if you ever want to sell please let me know, I'd love to buy it! I'm a mad Forester fanboy, I've been looking for a fully forged, high power Forester for a long time.
I soooooo nearly bought one of these (fast dad wagon required) - sale fell through and I then ended up with a legacy tuned by sti wagon instead (small number of mods, but keeping it OEM look, about to be mapped soon) - I love the legacy, but I still look wistfully at forester stis. Maybe I'll have both one day. :)
I've rarely but occasionally seen foresters with sti engines and sti body kits pop up on ebay US. I know its not jdm (not 100% anyway) but the last one I saw up was sick for the price it sold for.
I have a US version Forester 2.5XT, 2005. I'm currently building it into an STi, I did the JDM 6 speed + Brembo swap a couple years back. Last December I got the dreaded ringland failure in Cylinder 4, so now she just sits until I can save up enough money to build the engine up to 400-500 HP. I can't wait until that day!
What a fookin SICK vid! Man! I love this car! Maybe the best induction noise I've ever heard! Sick sick sick content Ricky. Loving the new intro music as well. Keep up the good work bro.
Thanks Subaru to have made those absolutly cool forester Sti. You've done the right thing to turn this car to an absolute beast. That's what they've been made for. 👍👍
Nice car! Loved driving my daughters STI. I was a V8 kind of old school till she let me drive it. Hard to beat adjustable all wheel drive so all wheels hook up and give a good launch. Keep it up 👍
I love these and the Nissan Stagea basically a skyline touring Love them 🤤 The head room looks almost comical You gonna make him An offer Rick you need a new rally car this is a proper nice one?
A very clean and nice car. One that i wished i had but at the time i could not afford and only got a standard 2005 Forester. 16yrs later im now with a 14XT and 19Wrx. Im still looking at these and wondering maybe 1 day i will add it.

Loving the look of that fn2, I have one my self
I have no idea why but theres loads of forresters around here (minehead southwest) i see all the time, a couple 2004s and loads of older ones.
Hope you got to keep it alive.
Whys no one mentioning this man's shifts?? Not far from dsg😂😂
The subaru 6 speed is a very string box, it can take some abuse!
@@h2489-m2l even the 5 speed ty754 is pretty quick. But once in a while, the synchros hang up and the gears just bounce off each other.
@@Nbomber Yes but unless you're going to refit straight cut gears it would explode at this power and torque level I think.
@@h2489-m2l oh yeah, for sure. I actually (and I might be wrong here) think the casing might also be a weak point. Im actually on the hunt for a ty856 but man, they arent cheap.
@@Nbomber the are extensive, not lease because you need the diff, half shafts and hubs too. It's much cheaper to just start with an STI!
That 1-2 shift at 10:35 was money! Such a satisfying shift. What a car! Perfect amount of useable power and props to choosing a different chassis than most :D sick car all round
Thanks Bro👍
Indeed!!! That first to second was as quick as a sequential shift.😊
Such an underrated car, they are absolutely amazing and this one is frikkin mint 👌
When a car sounds that good through a video, you just know its an absolute peach in the flesh!!!
Drop me message if your up for shooting, contact details in description above 👊🏾👊🏾
Ricky I got a 2.0tdi mondeo with 140bhp if your interested, it would eat your GTR though trust me, it does 7.99 quarter mile 😂😭🤣
Yeah Ricky a freind of mine has a st with some serious bhp been trying to sort something out for a while now are you up for it
I got the uks fastest Forester running at 385 low & 585 high.
Wanna shoot it?
Subaru Foresters are such underrated monsters
Ricky, how much does he want for the forester??
That scooby rumble, best sound in the world!!
Shame the better JDM scoobies dont do it
What?!
@@spoonageDC2 jdm cars have equal equal length exhaust manifolds with twin scroll turbos, so they dont make the rumble
This is a JDM.
@@R8V10 and he also says it doesnt have th original engine, tho if it came with a 2.5 standard then jt wouldnt have had the 2.0 ej207 from a jdm sti so wouldnt have had the better set up
I think Subaru's are one of the best sounding cars out there.
Sick video 🔥
Ricky *anywhere anyone can find you on social?
Mark * Nar
😂 love it...great video
The Scooby burble is most definitely one of the best noises out there. Epic car and video 😎🔥
Honestly you have to drive a scooby to understand why we love them so much. I want an evo VI as well but nothing is beating that scooby rumble man. And nothing handles like one too. Find it hilarious shocking people on back roads 😂
Wait till u drive an evo mate you'll never go back had 2 and want more

Always loved those, one of the finest estates ever
Love the sound of a big power Scooby, and that is certainly a cool estate 👌🏼
Yes Adam! More content needed on yours
Hear hear
I think it’s an SUV
Best sounding car on the road...
Thing I love about scooby's is that you can just cruise without revving the nuts off it everywhere and still enjoy it with all the noise (burbles) and torque low down, gives it a really distinct but muscle car feel 👌
Love that dandelion yellow evo 5 on your profile pic 👌🏼
I remember someone from Spain offering to sell it to me?
@@Sher_hayat_xahhh no way yes that is my old EVO 5 and i sold it to someone in marbella Spain 👌
That scooby grumble with that dump pure audio gold

What an absolute beast. Videos like this help keep me motivated to rebuild my Forester
BEST SOUNDING FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE IN EXISTENCE 💯💯
This is one of the best sounding Subarus, and THE best sounding Forester period. Love it!
I soooooo nearly bought one of these (fast dad wagon required) - sale fell through and I then ended up with a legacy tuned by sti wagon instead (small number of mods, but keeping it OEM look, about to be mapped soon) - I love the legacy, but I still look wistfully at forester stis.
Maybe I'll have both one day. :)
knowing the car personally, this video does it soo much justice ❤🔥
Beasttt 🔥
I would kill for one of these, can’t wait till they’re 25 years old so I can get one in the states! 👍🔥🔥 keep it up Ricky!
I've rarely but occasionally seen foresters with sti engines and sti body kits pop up on ebay US. I know its not jdm (not 100% anyway) but the last one I saw up was sick for the price it sold for.
@@THIRDRATEPRODUCTIONS Iv seen 2 forester Sti replicas but it’s just not same..
Still one of the best sounding engines made
You should buy this Ricky! Love to see more of it! That sound is amazing

Great car! Great content Ricky! Bless up 😊
The sound and stance of that car is MAD! 🙌🏾
I smiled ear to ear all the way through that !
I hear you
Engine Tunner + Bob Rawl...those that know, know.
My man’s gear changes are something else. Sick car
I'm actually in love with that, off too the bay 🔥🔥
Got to be up there with best sounding on the channel
Oh lawd the rumble! The bangs! The flames! Subaru life bro! 😍
Yea, once I seen the thumbnail I knew this video was going to be mad. Forsters are mental!
Loving the content and the filmography Ricky
Why is nobody talking about the filming the shots are so good!
Went in a litchfield tuned one 12 years ago, what a car can't imagine what this feels like, awsome car
What a fookin SICK vid! Man! I love this car! Maybe the best induction noise I've ever heard! Sick sick sick content Ricky. Loving the new intro music as well. Keep up the good work bro.
I absolutely love these! This one is mental.
best night driving videos men! can't beat Rickys reactions, love it!
Night videos are always the best Ricky
Great looking motor, and mint too. Loved the flutter. Amazing machine
What an absolute weapon 🔥 Really well set up car! Props to the owner. 😎👍
I've got a 98 JDM Twin Turbo Legacy GTB (manual) and love it!
But I'd kill for a forester.
Owned one for 5 years.
Very underrated car , surprised many people in it back in the day 👊🏽😂
Sounds spot on not like the ridiculous pops and bangs on the last video.
More night runs, jdm, turbo sounds, fire and flutters.enjoyed this as much as the white evo.!!!
What a great video bro 😎 it reminds me of your uploads back in the day. You got to love Subaru. Il be starting my build soon
That thing sounds beautiful... Night vision camera needed for in the cab, i bet its well off-putting with that light in your face 👌🏻
Best sounding motor ever!!
Absolutely love this forester !!
More night features this scooby is sick 🔥
nice to see ricky back
I had a 2.5 XT with a bigger turbo, quick steering rack etc made, around 330 at the crank and its the car I regret selling the most.
Beast, been looking at these for years. Subaru power with practicality 🔥 🔥
Ricky feeding us content this week much appreciated bro! This car is beautiful💯 but not as beautiful as ur new born 👶 !! Congratulations
Love that scooby sound brings back memories of my old one
That car is perfect. Tastefully built. Love it.

On this episode Mark plays some music for Ricky. 😀 Scooby sounds epic. It just adds to the overall driving experience.
LLF is back 💪💪💪
Very sweet an well kept, i love how clean it is....
Note to all modern cars,this is how cars should sound. Not farting. Epic Scooby.👍
the sound is so legit and massive.Nice ride mate
When she says we need to buy a car suitable for a family
Amazing vid. If you do more night drives can we please see the gauge cluster 🙌🏼the lights and stuff would look so good
Love your forester man, 11 out of 10 in my opinion 😎
I think this is my favourite car you had on your channel Ricky, fuck me that’s a beauty!

My Forester is currently around 350bhp and it scares me sometimes, let alone with 522 =D
Great car, great video thanks gents!
That Subaru forester has got to be the best one out there 👌🏻
Class video gave me goose bumps listening to that can't beat a scooby sound !
Sounds epic and driven with a nice amount of mechanical sympathy
That sound makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! WHAT A NOISE!!! 👂🏽😲👌🏽
Amazing sounds love the scooby sick car 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds absolutely gorgeous!🥶
Lovely car! All us UK 500hp Forester guys need a get together!
Love this. Bloody lovely 😊
