I definitely love the body style of the Forester , they are not looked at that often which is why I'm buying one very soon . Awesome video your car is super sweet .
@@JamesGilliam thanks my man,i May hit you up on the wheel base Brotha,just about ordered the Advan TC4 what you think about the perfect fit as far as size and offsets? Thanks again for your time kiddo.
I just got a 07 Subaru Forester 2.5X But big plans for an Sti engine and Brembo swap in the next 2-3 years, About $8k to get it done not including Installation.
where did you get that lip? not the black one but the red one that's attached to the bumper or do you know the name of the lip? and also where can I get that grill?
It is from ebay. You could try asking @foresterparts on instagram if they have any too. The grill is the oem grille but we just cut the cross bars and placed mesh there instead.
Khan Salic I’ve got a few different brands but I have a Invidia catless downpipe, turbo xs catless midpipe, spec d muffler and I also have a sti catless uppipe
@@Elly_Elly254 kinda thinkin about getting a second one right now to have for the winter and it’d be cool to lift it or something but I probably wouldn’t get another to really modify because I have some other cars I want to get instead
I've got a one owner (me) 06XT with 75,000km on it. The day I bought it I lowered the suspension, replaced the mags, upgraded the swaybar and linkages and put an aero kit on it. It's in immaculate condition and every system and button works just like the day I drove it off the show room floor. However, it looks nothing like that beast. You have me thinking.......
James, to get that offset, did you use spacers or change the hubs completely? Also, have you found you have moved the axle stress anywhere else that needs beefing-up?
hell yeah bro i just got an 04 sti swapped forester

Couldn’t agree more, thank you
Great video! All similar reasons why I love my fozzy!
Josh Barrows figured a lot of us could relate 🤘
this is exactly why I'm looking for a forester
Bryn Favorite car I’ve owned for sure
Starting to build my 2014 XT bully and this is the look I’m going for,want it to match my STI great vid my boy 🙏💯
Thank you man, good luck with your build 🤙

@@michaelcortez9623 not too sure on that generation but I’d do a search or post in some forester Facebook groups to get some ideas!
Why haven't I found before!!?!? This was great !!
Better late than never hahah thanks!
Love the volks especially the headlights
Love your build i got an sg5 with an sti swap, foresters are such fun sleepers
That sounds awesome, and I couldn’t agree more. Super underrated cars
I LOVE my 02 Fozzy! Just like you said they are not that common souped up.
You should pick up Rallyarmer mud flaps
Kris Verzwyvelt exactly, stand out from the crowd 🤘. I thought about mudflaps but I don’t think they would look good with the flares and other mods
I’m debating on getting just a forester or the xt
XT is more fun but can't go wrong with either
Nice Foz, I got one of each and solved the dilemma
That's a good move, thank you

I found my fxt in LA. Flew from the east coast to LA and drove it back.
Awesome man that’s a long drive but definitely worth it. Pretty clean one?
I drive a debadged 94 Civic hatch, and some lady on the road said, "It looks like a space ship". This was a real story.
I believe it lol
My wife's 02 forester s same color was t-boned , she misses it very much.
Scooby blue ah man sorry to hear that, thats understandable they’re such awesome cars
I have a sf forester and I love it. Saving some money for a S Turbo and want convert it in a Sti Type M
JDM_Dude that’s what’s up, the type m’s are so sick that would be awesome

@@JamesGilliam ohh okay and yeah I bought one from them but it looks different it has like 2 little wings on the side and Curves in the bottom
@@chrisguzman7926 Yeah ive seen both, the one I have ive seen on a few sites but they always seem to be sold out
where did you get a forester xt used or new because the xt is rare and I try to look on CarGurus and car max and auto list so where did you get yours
Stuart Sheppard mine was Craigslist so I would check there
I check on like cargurus but can't find one there so thank you
Stuart Sheppard no problem, good luck
Japan ? Low miles, good cost, very good all around, I plan on getting mine from a import company
whiteKOOLAID55 that’s the way to do it🤙
How wide are the flares and also wheel specs, giving me inspiration on the wide look.
60mm, 18X11+8 25mm adapters
I can’t wait to build my 99 forester
Such a awesome platform
Did you do all the mods and engine swap yourself? I was looking for a wrx hatchback but this looks fire.
Chincheckers ive done probably 90% of the mods myself and they come with the 2.5 from factory so you can immediately start bolting sti parts on them 🤘
@@JamesGilliam thanks
Hey bro clean Subaru
Thank you
Got to get my foz up and running for that meet :)
Drake for sure! About a month away
Hey mate, what exhaust system do you have (type/model)? Cheers,
Khan Salic I’ve got a few different brands but I have a Invidia catless downpipe, turbo xs catless midpipe, spec d muffler and I also have a sti catless uppipe
Do you have multi arm suspension on this car or just McPherson ?
What’s McPherson?
@@JamesGilliam normal one unit... I mean... Google it.
@@jerrycaille
McPherson
Where did you get your fender flares?
Samuel Sandoval bought them off a buddy but they are from ABW Motorsport
@@JamesGilliam thanks I appreciate it
Do you have to put premium gas in it?
Chincheckers yes I put 91 in
Nice video
Which car will you get next
I have a few in mind not sure exactly which one next but planning to hold onto the forester so gotta make sure I can have both
@@JamesGilliam what of a new forester would you have two
@@Elly_Elly254 kinda thinkin about getting a second one right now to have for the winter and it’d be cool to lift it or something but I probably wouldn’t get another to really modify because I have some other cars I want to get instead
Forester is king👑
This is true
That looks shit hot !.....those wheel arch flares and rims are awesome, what a beast. Fcuk the WRX !
Drone Downunder thank you!🙏 got lots more coming for it

Drone Downunder damn dude that sounds perfect, that’s a gem for sure🔥 there’s so many options for these cars, hope I can help with some future mods🤘
James, to get that offset, did you use spacers or change the hubs completely? Also, have you found you have moved the axle stress anywhere else that needs beefing-up?
Drone Downunder I have 25mm adapters so I can run the 5X114.3 bolt pattern! And nope haven’t done much with that
