Boss Forester!! The boxy stance has always appealed to me, so all the slammed Foresters look really good, and the ones that are STI's guts on the inside are so sick. They say "me, my dog, my groceries, my kayak on top, and you in my rear view mirror".
I love tuned Foresters. It's one of the best all around useful yet still fun cars IMO.
He looks super nervous to let him drive his car
+Cameron Hud Nope, that's just me being socially awkward. Matt's a great guy; Very personable and an excellent driver.
Rene R Salut! Es-tu Québécois?
I like how most of Matt viewers are expert Physiatrists.
He was all over the road
@@rener6395 Hey man, just bought a 2011 FXT, want to squeeze out a little bit more horsepower on a tight budget; what do you recommend? Turbo swap and tune?
this is probably my favorite car that u have done on here, nothing better than a rocket small suv. I saw a blue forrester sti when i was in japan and always hated the fact we never got it in the states
There a many cars not in the States cuz american are haters only like their muscle
Hmoob Yaj Wrong
Hmoob Yaj Not true, I would have bought a Forester STi if it had been available here. As it was, I bought a Legacy GT after owning two WRXes, and then after that I got a 2011 STi. I would have loved to have been able to buy a Forester STi.
Vernon Price what u guys mean not true and wrong. I wouldn't even buy the Sti in the US if they offered the 22b, Sti spec c, Sti s202, and Sti RAR or all the other imports not in the States
Hmoob Yaj "american are haters only like their muscle"
That is wrong, and not true. What don't you understand about that?
Gramps would be proud
Lol No ones going To get that reference hahah
sean murphy Just get me that tofu burger...
Russ Nicholls Actually its Super Gramps now
sean murphy lots of people watch MCM, Motortrend, Drive, Smoking Tire. I certainly do :)
Toby White i do too lol i was just kidding around lol jeez tough crowd
This owner is a cool, normal dude. Nice ride, much respect.
I like how the way you two look at modifying cars! I agree, bolt ons are worth doing yourself, but having the security of someone knowing better than yourself is so much better.
best sleeper on the planet
Are they though? I mean if I see an xt badge i know it's quick out of the box. Do i think sports car? No, but I certainly don't think sleeper, Pontiac Bonneville, sure, but fxt, no. Especially the easily identifiable hood scooped model prior to 2014. Sleeper indicates to me not easily identified as fast or sporty.
GamerNxUSN that’s because you know. Most don’t. Hence, sleeper.
@@waykool698 a stock, 4th gen 4runner is half the horsepower of this built one (in the vid) still faster, and it's NA. On top of no Subaru regardless of model, comes close to the reliability of Toyota. So....¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@MyCrippledWings half as strong but the forester has a turbo which means the 4runner wouldn’t be able to catch up
@@moneyseeker8886 not our 2011 Forester. It's a non turbo model. (Gets about same fuel economy my own 4runner does. It's not exactly fast, but not exactly slow either.) However, my mom's 2018 (she bought new) touring XT has it. And I can pull and pass hers up hill. So....¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fuel economy is only slightly better, but doesn't really make that all a difference when hers needs premium and I'm on regular, all for like a 2-3 mpg more on average. And my 4runners on ATs on top of it. (stock sized)
reminds me of my old 05 forester xt. i had 30r turbo, coilovers, 6spd manual and the whole nine.:)
Great video, Matt! You're really getting to work well with the owners/drivers in these one takes. Keep it up!
Just FYI, the steering rack from the 15 fits in the GR STi and WRX. So, if that is all you need to fit your XT, then yes, it will fit. There is a swap thread on iwsti.
Dude! I just bought a 2013 XT. Thanks for this piece of info!
Thought this was a new episode of MCM when i saw the thumbnail :(
lol so did I.
Ethan Gee Same here .
Haha same
+Ethan Gee XD that's what made me watch it.
Saw this car up close and personal in Georgetown the other day. Have to say, looks even better in person! Very well put together!
These one takes are awesome! So many differnet cars. Keep up the good work guys.
Just picked a 2011 model with no mods as my next Dad project build, Inspiring video thank you
Did you get to do anything to it???
@@RoGuExPaNcAkE i swapped a vf52 onto mine, cobb cai, turbo xs ebcs ,cobb catted dp, 270 whp, perfect balance for daily
Rene is a chill dude, just had him replace some stuff on my wrx last week lol. I saw this video from way back like 2 years ago. did not recognize him in person when I went to his shop
Honestly, I think these One Take videos are some of the best videos to come out on youtube. They are on par with your friend Mr. Harris! Keep it up Matt
For drive by shootings in Vermont this is the ultimate. Great build!
Best comment ever!
haha. All kidding aside its a great build. What I love about this hobby is that people can take a car and make it exactly what they want it to be.
+Michael Cohen Watch it pal.......I like guns, live in VT, and own a Forester........just kidding. But I do like guns, live in VT, and own a Forester!
Subaru's are literally every third car here. Best mother F'n mud/snow/ice/rain/mountain/dirt road car EVER!
+Dallas Breault I hear yah I live in Illinois and own a gun .. I am tired of hearing that this car is a liberal car ... Co worker who says he went to liberal Vermont and said all he seen was foresters no pun intended just hate myself to be labeled !
+Dk DK Fellow Forester (has the man-pedel) and gun owner signing in.
Super clean MR2. 500HP Forester. Canada's got some pretty nice cars Matt! Pretty excited to see what's next!
***** Rene's forester is from washington
Mike Jones "Rene came all the way down from Canada with his 480 WHP Subaru Forester" Matt's description.
It was a mistake. I came down from almost-Canadia. Mike's right. Seattle.
Rene R Ahh I see. Dammit Matt lol
Rene R lolol "almost-Canadia"...
So cool, I didn't think much would excite me after that incredible V6 MR2, but this forester is so incredibly cool.
Watched this before, but I had to check it out again! Such an amazing build! Around 500hp is top-end for what you want in a street car imo. 😂
best car i ever owned..2010 Subaru Forester XT and I will never sell it. I went more with the off-road route but thats the beauty of the Foresters, you can go either way.
Do you still have your Fozzy?
Thats the beauty of Subaru... I'm 16 so I can get a job my dream Subies are a Bugeye WRX STI, Bugeye wagon, and this the Subaru Forester
That is a really great car! I have had 6 subarus and currently have a 2017 crosstrek and love it.
This is a very badass build.
There is always a fly that has to suicide on the lens!
Ethan Gee Technically the fly was just minding his own business, until a giant slab of metal and glass came blazing by and murdered him.
+zxbc dude, have you seen a flies reaction skills?!
zxbc Im guessing youre a make love not war left thinking type huh?
surf403 if he is then so what. Ever listened to John Lennon’s IMAGINE!?
that's a bad ass forester. sleeper status always seems to be more fun because you don't expect it
Rene, your car is amazing. Thanks for sharing it.
This is one of the coolest cars I think you have done a one take on Matt. Lookin forward to the speed 6 you mentioned in the podcast a few weeks ago tho, hope that vid is coming soon!
That is beyond wonderful. I would really like to do something similar to a 05 or 06 outback xt. Great car!
Wow! I love the car. Great work!
Rene the owner seems like a really cool dude who knows what he is doing. Massive respect!
When I saw the title I knew this would be a great episode. I like this build a lot
This thing is too sick, and looks so clean! Good review Matt!
I always keep an eye open for manual XT's for sale, kind of a rare find and it sucks that the turbos tend to die
Really nice sleeper, looks very aethically pleasing as well
Finally a Fozzie! My dream to make it out there with mine someday. Matt, Keep the great vids coming!
Real cool guy with a real cool build. Awesome!
foresters are amazing.
please just have like a 30 seconds of showing the car before you drive it smh
Nice to see this car! There are a couple of fast Foresters here in the Des Moines area that autocross with me; very nice cars (and guys)
Clean looking, mad power. Very nice car!
I gotta love a tuner that my 6'4" azz can actually fit. Awesome job my man
Looks like Moog's Forester! Very nice!
This has to be one of the best builds ive seen here.
Really seems like it's all been done properly without cheaping out anywhere.
Did you see the surge tank in the back (Pic on WheelWell)? i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb371/eugeneutopia/2010%20FXT/FXT%20Build%20Thread/Built%20motor/Radium_zpsdpnxnivw_1.jpg
This cars got it all. Power, Practicality, All wheel drive. A wagon this clean is very rare.
4:07 bug hit the camera LOL
I love the Subaru Rally Team shirt just as much as the car!
i'm digging the subtle induction and intake noises !
This is what the one takes are all about. Lols at the 8ft hop to the left! That woke you up Ferrah! Hehe good work buddy :)))
This is my kind of car. Really a great combo of things. Cool.
+bluestudio67 Thanks! It's got a larger turbo, correct suspension height and the '15 STI steering rack now. So much yay!
+Rene R So you were able to get the rack in there? That's great. Make a big difference? What I like the most about your car is the sleeper factor. They're fantastic utes, but a 500hp one.... oh yes.
+bluestudio67 The STI rack made a huge difference. Instead of feeling like a Forester with an improved suspension, it feels like you're driving an STI with an improved suspension, and the sense of being in a Forester (road handling-wise) is gone all together. Thanks for the kind words! I'm taking it to the drag strip at the end of the month with the new turbo setup dialed in, to see what kinds of times it'll do now. I'll be posting the video on my RUclips channel.
I will be watching!
Agreed! I love love love my FXT, thought I would regret not getting an STI but being able to have fun and move almost anything when required has been a huge bonus, plus you always get those occasional shocked drives that pull and go "Wow I was looking around for a WRX or STI, that is that" and I tell them about the XT and how versatile it is.
What I hated most about this generation XT, was that they only came in automatic. I wished they would have came in manual, but I'm sure Subaru didn't want competition for the WRX sales. Nice car though, built it to his tastes and hope he enjoys it.
You are right but luckily this gen has a sports mode and optional paddle shifters that makes up for the lack of manual Trans
@@anonony9081 umm no.
Thanks alot, now I have to go look at Foresters on e-bay again...
A very awesome set up on this forester.
You know how you can spot Subaru owners at a car meet?
They always wear Subaru branded cloths.
I love this car so much. Perfect aesthetically. Kind of kicking myself for buying a 2012 Jetta GLI over one of these....
+John Vanderveen How about do an in-between? VW R32? Damn nice cars. It would be awesome if they offered an R32 in a sedan or wagon as well as a hatchback. Maybe they do?
I believe they offer a Golf R Sportwagen in Europe, that would be pretty rad as well!
Just read your comment and I know it's an old one. I had a 2014 GLI and traded it in for a 2014 Forester recently haha. Hope your vehicle choice worked out for you in the end dude.
easily my favorite one so far!! God damn I love me some forester action!!
Repping the AB's! Nice. Sick Forester.
We need brand new 1988-1991 Honda Civics back at the dealerships.
I completely agree I think they should start with the 1st gen (1972-79) and go up from there, they would sell so many
the chive on sticker gives it 10 more horsepower
Sweet Forester! Nice build!
I love the Forester. So awesome.
Matt, do you still smoke weed
Revolt yes, it's good for you.
TheSmokingTire Matt Hello if you ever come to Spain , tell me , will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship ;)
PS thanks for doing a magnific work
TheSmokingTire you're the coolest car reviewer I've ever seen! awesome videos i'm enjoying these one takes a lot. i hope you do a 6spd manual r8 v8 or v10 one day.
TheSmokingTire playaaaaa!
TheSmokingTire LOL yes!
The '15 steering rack will work
The most badasss forester I've seen so far lol
PIA KILLS IT with their Forester STI projects. So dope!
Is this the road you guys filmed the 135i with E92 V8 video on? Awesome car btw, 480 wheel in a Forester is mental.
***** no, that was up near san francisco
60 fps still looks weird to me for videos, but video games don't. I dont know why
Pickle312 Because you are not used to it . All this years you consume media in 30 , 24(mostly in movies)fps.I love it personally . Especially stuff like this with a lot of motion.
Pickle312 ur not used to it thats why same goes for PC gaming i love 60 fps videos now begin it was also abit weird but now its the same feeling when i went from a ps4 to a PC with 30 fps vs 100 fps :p
Because frames in a camera are caught in motion with natural blur in movements and capture of natural light as the shutter opens and closes while frames in games are rendered one at a time instantly not smoothly captured. You need to have games at a higher frame rate to feel normal than you do film.
I studied video broadcasting and from my courses the general consensus is that, at least in cinema, 30fps is better and more natural to look at. Because of the lack of motion blur with 60fps video in part. I still prefer 30fps, but gaming 60fps.
Getting used to it has nothing to do with it looking "better"
Pickle312 So you are saying smooth motion is not "better"?
Love all these Subaru one takes!!
I heard a lot of good things about the new STI steering rack. I'm going to have to try that out pretty soon. Ive even heard it compared to the huracan rack. Those are some pretty bold claims
Matt the 2015 STi rack does go into the 2014 STi so it might be able to go into the Forester as well.
Alvin Rohani That would be a nice upgrade, wonder what that would cost.
blake866 around 600-650 depends where you buy it
Louis Hamilton Nice thats not bad for that precise quick steering.
Blakes Garage Yeah but at my point in my build I rather spend that on brakes or a Clutch.
If anyone is interested this is info on how it goes:

Great car nice sleeper!! What are the car mods?? Engine and turbo and ecu? Thanks! Enjoy it man!!
+yellow boy Thanks! The easiest place to see the details of the build (inlcuding pictures and links to the places I bought the parts and their costs and timeline) is in the WheelWell link in the Smoking Tire review. The basics are a fully built motor (closed deck, cams, head-work etc), Blouch 2.5XTr Dominator turbo (Polka Pickle), coil-overs, sway and strut bars, 6-speed transmission swap (one of 3 or 4 USDM SH Foresters with the swap that I'm aware of), radium fuel surge tank with one 460lph pump in the gas tank and two 460lph pumps in the surge tank), ID 1300 injectors and other supporting mods. I've got an EFR7670 and ID1700's waiting to go in, as soon as Treadstone re-manufactures the turbine housing. Should get me in the mid-500WHP output range
Great built man!!!! I have something similar to mine. But not so much. Thaks again and keep up.
+Rene R How much would you say a build like this would run an average person? I'm definitely interested in creating such a gentle giant for when I start my new family :)
If you know what to get (all new parts) and do it all at the same time to reach 480hp, you'd be looking at $10 - $15,000, depending on how much you do yourself vs having a tuner do, and it's done with good parts and built with skill. That doesn't include all of the parts I've put on this though, just the stuff to get to that power level. I've had cosmetic stuff does as well, and bought items that aren't needed at this point, but were installed keeping the direction that the car will go in the future. Here is a good, basic breakdown for Subaru builds:
If there's some magical formula on how to properly build an EJ engine, chances are our top tuners have found it! Follow along as they offer a simple how-to guide to help point you in the right direction whether you're planning on building a 300 whp, 400 whp, 500 whp, or
500+ whp engine.
Per Quirt Crawford Of Crawford Performance
300 whp: To obtain this horsepower level, the EJ motor only requires an
upgraded intercooler, larger sized fuel injectors, and a retune of the ECU-no
internal engine modifications are required. We highly recommend the use of an
air/oil separator (AOS) on any turbocharged EJ motor to eliminate oil from
coating both the intake tract and the inside of the intercooler, which causes a
reduction in cooling efficiency that can cause detonation.
400 whp: There are no internal engine modifications needed at this
power level. The car would need a larger turbo, intercooler, fuel injectors,
fuel pump, AOS, and retune of the ECU.
500 whp: At his point, we suggest replacing the OE rods with a set
of stronger, aftermarket forged rods, along with forged pistons, head studs,
and the external components listed under 400 whp.
500+ whp: The same engine components are needed in the 500-whp
package but you will probably need a larger turbo, and of course, proper
tuning.
Per Albert And Robert Bonamici Of Auto Master AMR
300 whp: The EJ20/EJ25 engines can handle 300 whp maximum with stock
internals with no further modifications other than a proper fuel management
tune.
400 whp: We suggest a set of forged AMR pistons and billet rods to safely boost up the engine.
500 whp: The same components previously mentioned in the 400-whp
package but also include our AMR 9/16-inch "Big Boy" head studs, AMR
plate hone, and O-ring the block to increase sealing of the heads to the
cylinder block.
500+ whp: Previously mentioned items with the addition of a line-hone
to ensure proper bearing clearances, AMR billet crankshaft, and ductile iron
sleeves for additional cylinder strength.
Per Paul Yim And Paul Leung Of Yimi Sport
300 whp: No modifications are required to the stock block, assuming all
the bolt-on parts and ECU tuning are working in harmony.
400 whp: For an EJ205, you should be doing a basic build on the
block that would include forged pistons, rods, good bearings, and head studs.
Obviously, quality machine work and tight tolerances/quality control are
crucial. For an EJ255 and EJ257, all the block needs is a set of forged
pistons. 400 whp (particularly on 91 octane pump gas) is when cylinder
pressures are high enough that a random knock event can take out the stock
pistons. The rest of the internals are more than up to the task.
500 whp: We suggest adding forged rods, aftermarket rod and main
bearings, and ARP head studs to the EJ25 along with making sure that the oiling
system and cooling system are in 100 percent operating order.
500+ whp: For over 550 whp, we recommend sleeving the block, as the
stock sleeves can become a failure point. For really high-horsepower
applications, pinning the mains and oversized head studs and/or an O-ringed
cylinder head may become necessary.
Man you are by far the best car reviewer out there, your videos are kickass and in-depth, and all around well made. Awesome work!
Are you serious? These are not reviews. These are friendly encounters between two guys who love cars.
When was your two cents called for?
1:18 lol "I feel so high!" he says it right there!
fuck, gonna have to buy a forester now.😮 that thing is a beauty
In the background of one of your one takes there was a yellow Ferrari, I think it may have been a 360 judging by the back, will that eventually be posted or was the car not there for a one take?
Andrew A if I remember correctly it was a 355 GTS, and no, that was not part of our shoot. It was just there hanging out. I do have a manual gearbox 430 Coupe coming up though.
TheSmokingTire They have open gate shifters, right? Was it very 'clacky' I guess is the right word? Idk how to explain other than the word 'satisfying'.
Dan yes, the click, click is awesome when shifting.
TheSmokingTire
I'm really happy to hear that! It was one of the things that made the Audi R8 awesome in my opinion was the open gate gearbox, it gives an amazing noise and feel.
TheSmokingTire With a well off LMU student in the passenger seat?
My black 09 Fozzie XT (auto) is getting a new sti engine, bigger turbo, turbo back exhaust, vented brakes and repaired front suspension as I type this. Decided it was as keeper. Love the Fozz and it’s getting a second lease on life.
Love Foresters, need a build like this one!!!
This car is currently for sale!
How much are you asking for it?
All of the specs and price are here: www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f93/2010-forester-xt-limited-652762/
Rene R nooooo don't you do it 😓
It's been sold twice! I sold it 1-2 months ago and that guy sold it as well. It's living on the East Coast now!
Rene R
Rene--where does she currently reside? Interested and in the NYC area
What kind of tires?
Durararide!! Michelin Pilot Super Sports
thanks it was a bit hard to hear in the video for me.
Durararide!! Sorry, I have a low voice and I mumble
Rene R nice car
Rene R no worries, it was just bad timing with the both of you talking one after another really fast. I was just interested in what you chose, maybe in the future I'll be able to throw on a nice pair myself.
I'd love to see this on mt 74 in Palm Desert, California. Our roads are very technical, and a great place to test a car. Not much room to test the power of a car though.
Yes! Representing the Fozzies!
IMO a car is not very sleepery when you black it out completely, lower it, and put an aftermarket exhaust on it because when I see (and hear) that car i'm going to say to myself "this thing has been tricked out, I bet its fast". Now of course you can never predict just how fast, some might not even be fast, but you just lose the element of surprise when you do these visual mods to your sleeper. Now, if I took my granny's Deville, dropped in an LS motor, and didn't alter the stock look or exhaust, NOW I have a true sleeper. see what I mean?
Antwon Jenkins It was just lowered last week, for this event specifically. It'll be back to normal ride height very soon. The exhaust is quiet unless it's opened up. The headlights and wheels can give it away if you know what you're looking at, but I think the term "sleeper", at least in part, assumes that the average person doesn't really know that to look for. It's been mistaken for an Uber taxi more than once (people actually got in it once), and most people think it's a soccer mom car. :)
Rene R The Uber part is funny as I have had the same thing happen to me before. Guy hopped in when I was sitting at a light and I was like, can I help you dude? (this was before I was slammed and I still had the stock rims)
Antwon Jenkins You have a point, but then it can also be a false positive of sorts. There's an XT around me, slightly lowered, nice wheels, and an exhaust. No idea what's under the hood, if anything. Now if you know cars you know an XT qualifies as quick, I mean 224 horse and AWD isn't a bad combo by any means.
Small cosmetic changes like that could just be cosmetic and it's still just a relatively quick Forester, or maybe they aren't. Given that so many people ONLY make cosmetic changes, in a way I think the car's appearances almost assures it's just a relatively quick Forester, not a five hundred horsepower rocket...
Agreed...not a sleeper. If I saw that car on the street, I would immediately think it was modified.
This Forester is for sale right now.
Love love love Foresters! I'd love to have this car! Good pick
suby envy is taking me over.... love it bro!!!
ONLY 500+ HP...???
AMAZING QUALITY
Love this road so damn much!
Digging the All Blacks jersey! And the car of course :)
Quick racks are pretty easy to get for this car. I put a JDM STi one in my WRX and loved the difference.
my buddy had a 99 forester with a wrx swap. didn't have a ton of power, but that thing was fun to ride in!
woo this forester is too clean!
love the all blacks jumper
Awesome car - I love it. When I change my 04 XT it will be for something like this.
+C Huzz I'd love to see it. The 04-08 have even stronger aftermarket offerings and the possibilities are larger, and less expensive. You'll love it!
Just got a 09 FXT
Makes several SPG's (smiles per gallon)
Awesome ride, good for driving slow and when someone tries to pass you drop a gear and dissapear :)
I must say I love these
Nice ride! I didn't even notice the bug till about 8:30 into the video. Hehe! Love the 60fps though. It looks great!
I have a 2017 Forrester w/manual, and this is what I’ve been dreaming of doing to it, more like in the 300hp range though. Waiting till my warranties are done though.
I own a forester, when it grows up, it wants to be like this.
between this and moogs forester from MCM. You guys got me wishing I'd bought a forester over a Jeep.
Wish there was more footage of the outside seems very clean overall.
