That’s my car! I got an ‘05, 2.5X, also in green. I also love it every time something breaks. Gives me an excuse to goof off from work. Always learning.
The mighty older Foresters with their awesome 4EATs transmissions. One of my favorite all around capable vehicles. It’s safe, practical, economical, fun, and quite capable off road. My first ever Subie was an ‘01 SF which I did everything on, including overhauling its ej251 for the infamous H/Gs. Once you a slap a set of MLS H/Gs on these little n/a motors, they become tanks! Take the time to do it right, replace all the vacuum lines, pcv, seals, gaskets, etc and you’ll have a great car for easily another 150k miles.
Siiick! The style of narration kind of reminds me of "Regular car reviews" channel, but yours is more down to earth and more practical imho, and that's cool. P.S. rear wiper delete!!! (it's partly done anyway)
My impression of Subaru while currently owning one is, it starts off like a good idea and it's kind of cool, then the novelty wears off and you kind of realise it's an over priced version of cars that already exist and it's boxer engine design is more of an annoyance than a benefit. Really the only great thing I can say about them is the handling is great, and the AWD is good, that's it.
Greetings from Estonia! I just also got into a similar SG, with the same setup, so it's really cool to follow you along as you build. Maybe one-day we can go on a baltic forest trip :D
With wireless charging now you could run the wire and hollow the bottom for the wireless charger! Glue it up and all it takes is dropping the phone in the compartment and you're set :)
There’s one for 4K near me but I’m a big dude and 6’3 would this car be fine size wise? I always liked the way these looked and it’s mad cheap with lots of miles but up to date repairs and such
That’s my car!

I just finished paying off my 05 Forester L.L. Bean Edition, i fucking love it and i want to fix it so i can have it at least for another 200k miles
Beautiful woods!
Thanks
Why didn’t you start with a XT? Plans on swapping it? 😳 also never knew about the jdm windshield washer nozzles 👏
Never doubt, he is so right ✅️
This gas engine is soooo awesome!!
My forester sport gets up hills with ease and at low rpm
If you didn't know you can cut a hole in the top piece to run your charger through so you can charge your phone in the top compartment

I have a Subaru Forester, a 2005 model. I am looking for rear toe / camber alignment bolts which I am not able to find anywhere. Can you help? Please.

For somewhat of a reference I can drive a 2014 Kia Soul with comfort but cramped but still comfortable long trip
I'm 5'10" and my XS2.5 Forester has plenty more adjustment for taller people. Very comfortable interiors.
yea ur good bro i’m the same height and fit pretty nice, can be a lil snug getting in and out tho
Got a link for those nozzles??
Entertaining content. Interested to see more of that propane conversion 👍
Do you use snow tyres or all season tyres? How many hp has your car?

Hi, its Latvia
Be careful with LPG, they run slightly hot on it! Then gasket problems🙉🤬
Put in an original 78C thermostat, and you are good!
