Welcome to the party pal! I've got two 04 XT's, one with a quarter of a million miles and both Daily Drivers. I look forward to more of your subaru content!
@@ajsakai content for the fxt is so sparse on yt. You could do a series about preping the fxt for the build itself. Little things diy or big things $$$.
My dad has owned one of these since 2004. Still In great condition and the turbo of the hood is sick which makes a true Subaru! The rumble tho is the best!
Well hello there, my lowered brother from another mother! Looks good in that color scheme! Cheers from a built and lifted Forester XT in rural USA. 🙋♂️
Agreed on most counts here. These are great all round vehicles. My buddy imported at '04 Cross Sports RHD 5 spd 2.0L turbo, great shape, low K's, ZERO rust....out of Kobe, Japan. His is at STUMPR1. Runs and drives great, all stock unit.
How much did you get it for? Will sub for an answer! I just picked up my modded Foz for 5.5k! Its a 2004 Xt with 315HP, 319 Tor as my daily during winter, as my 2004 Miata's tires can go out in the cold, or they will crack!
Hey Steve! I'm going to keep quiet about how much I paid haha but it was for a very good price. For 5.5k you picked yourself up an absolute BARGAIN! the reason I dont want to reveal is for the resale price later.
Yep totally recommend the 34. I used to have a vf43 in my STI it was a little sluggish compared. I believe the 43 is twin scroll or journal vs the 34 ball bearing.
@@ajsakai will a vf34 fit on a naturally aspirated 05 forester x? a lot of people say to just buy a turbo and sell the one I have but I don't want to mainly because of how good of a condition the car is in, just hit 85k miles on it and paint and interior is brand new it was really well taken care of by the previous owner and I feel like I won't be able to find one in the same condition. would really like a response at your earliest convenience as im currently saving up for a turbo, not looking to make huge gains just a little more power than it currently has
Was such a killer experience driving this beast 🔥

Is it manual or Automatic?
@@musasizigodfreydixion6231 Automatic, it saves the gear swapping

@@cetri777 only got 116k kms
I thought this was a LHD until I saw your "sabiba" hoodie!
Yes it's a new brand of clothing 👀👀👀

WEEEEW hello my friend!
Looking into this as a daily. good vid.
Did you ever get yours? I just got a modded 2004 Xt with 315HP, 319 Tor as my daily and i love it! So much fun!
Get one! They'er still affordable!
Idk why but that “this guys future was too bright” joke got me reel good. 😅
Hehe glad you enjoyed!
I've got a Subaru BRZ and i'm starting to think I should of got one of these as I'm getting into mountain biking.
Great car!! They don't handle as well as the BRZ though
What is that display for above the dash vents? And what is it? Where can I get one? 😅
Hi Tyler! Not too sure tbh it just came with the car!

Yes! I just hope the value starts going north! This particular JDM vehicle has not yet picked up traction like the other cars
@@ajsakai True, they have gone up slightly, but not like WRX's, GTR's, Evo's, etc.
Also, what brand of intercooler do you have?
where do I order aftermarket parts for this cars in japan?
Couldn't say tbh. Maybe yahoo japan?

random seat cable is seat belt/airbag sensor.
i really want this car sounds so nice compared to my liberty lol
Haha I actually have always really liked the liberty
AJ Sakai liberty wagons are cool as
Forester is about to 200lbs lighter than sti In the 4 06 ish yrs
Doesn't help that I'm a heavy boy :P But yes! Hopefully this would give an STI a run!
What's the acceleration of 0-100 kph with 300 HP?
You still got this? Subi has a nice rumble.
Yes sir I do
@@ajsakai can you update us on what’s been done to it lately? Or when you can? It’s a nice car.
nothing like a solid ebay score
Haha yes, i believe you're well rehearsed in snagging hood deals
I need me a turbo upgrade
VF34 are amazing! Highly recommend
Great car i fell its so underrated tho...
Agree
Yes! I actually love the daily comfortability of it!
Que roda tá usando 17
Australia?
Yep! Melbourne :)
Nice score. What suspension are you running?
Running WRX suspension haha so it's soft and handles well
Just bought a 2004 forester XT for 7K ...its a salvage but decided to roll the dice anyway ....hopefully I didn't get a complete POS.
what size are your wheels & tyres?
They're wheels off a toyota 86!
AJ Sakai oh shit nice! thank you
It has a vf34 or vf43?
Vf34 sir
Thanks! Im deciding between a vf43 or vf34 for my fozzy!
