Been following your build for a while now even before I got my 03 Cross Sports XT which I've had for just over a year and a lot of my inspo comes from you bro , insane build 🔥💯 Big ups from NZ 🙌🏽
T FORESTERS ARE THE BEST ! = so useful and handy - and fast as ! - lot`s of aftermarket parts and tunes to choose from ! and all bolt on easy and some great kit form HP range target set`s = 450 hp package !
i want all of this on my 07 forester, but just a bit higher with All-Terrain Toyo's with the white lettering, bayside blue with matte black rims. There's a whole side of the forester that street tires leaves dormant. It's in my and many other peoples opinion that the old forester/new outback is the best platform for an offroad vehicle in the world. Edit: If it had a flat/inline 6, street rims all day, fuck offroading. lol
Got to love a guy that calls tinted light/windows a mod. States he wouldn't really count it as a mod, BUT then does list it as a mod, since so many people ask.
"well I don't want to mess with it, at least for another six months" that right there is the epitome of spending too much and constantly moding our cars hahha
I’m not sure from this video, I made an updated video on my channel of the mods if you want to check that out. The cars probably at like 310 or 315 hp and probably close to 3K in performance mods including just the engine and exhaust
I think it is fine just having one set! I have a friend with an off road inspired forester who drives it daily and off road on the same wheels and tires and it does great. You could totally have two sets but I think it would come down to how often you would feel the need to switch and if theres anything additional you need to do like maybe an alignment. Although that may not be necessary.
chris Guzman they actually came that way if that’s what you’re asking! I know some foresters came two tone from factory but these ones came painted, definitely gives it a clean look🤙
James Gilliam lol the same if not 1 second faster or even slower then before you wasted 6k on looks. 😂 I’m sending my same 04 red XT to the shop and for 7k it’s gunna be 420hp awd sti manual swapped to🙄 let’s race champ ? 918 streets
I’m not entirely sure on that but I would look into n/a Impreza exhausts from around then because I think I’ve heard that certain years of those fit. I would look into some Forester Facebook groups too to see if there’s some info there
Dani A been daily driving it for 4 years without a problem. My vf39 turbo cracked but I knew it was going to happen and I already have another turbo ready to go In as soon as these last couple things I’m waiting on arrive
The Champ nope had a couple mods already done to it like the turbo and intake, looking to get a new turbo now as well though since this one cracked recently and the car was in like 9/10 shape
Ive got a late model xt2.5, with 18 inch xxrs, not much done to it at the moment, except for the subaru 4pots, disks and redstuff pads all round. (Dont get redstuff btw, get yellow or orange, the red brakefades too easily). I had to replace the engine recently, so that set me back a couple k, and more on top of that doing maintenance. The old engine is about to go and get sleeved and rebuilt with forged bottom end, nitrided crank, and then build up with some power mods I agree with you tho, style mods are cool, but I want base to match the looks first.
Thank you, if you’re not looking for a turbo model than it’s really just a personal preference on the looks. Although the 04-06 is going to feel newer. I’d suggest driving both then deciding
What year is best like can u modify like a 2010 like this and make it look this good so I get the like newer year hopefully it's better or can I only get the older versions
James Gilliam I’m currently selling my volvo 240s to get a 2004 or 2006 forester xt. I cant wait. What does it mean that it goes thru so much oil? Isn’t that a bad thing?
James Gilliam i have only worked on volvo 240s non turbo’s so I’m unfamiliar with an engine losing oil other than a leak somewhere. What’s the reason it need to be topped off n stuff where is the oil going??
Einsteinium252 not sure I haven’t looked too much into but I just know that certain Subarus tend to burn more oil than most but it’s still really not that bad. I check mine somewhat often and I’ll add a little if it needs it but it’s not bad
1. Cars don't produce ozone or deplete it. 2. catalytic converters don't reduce ozone depleting molecules/atoms. Give the guy a thumbs up if you liked the video except the part you don't understand how it works to start with 😆
In the words of RegularCarReviews: I TINT MY HEADLIGHTS SO THEY WORK LESS
Just went a little bit darker recently :)
Instablaster
thats why u install a Hella light bar
Every six months I come back to this Forester because it’s not a 600 hp show car. It’s just 🔥🔥
Thank you🤙
I just bought an 08 FXT, thanks for some inspo!
Clara watling awesome glad I could help🤙

I wish they would make cars with the boxy design now. All the new cars are curvy, large, and fat. I miss the old cars. Nice forester

He says at 1:32 that he doesn't consider them a mod
I really love tht front lip 🙌🙌🙌🙌👌
Looking to get one of these as a first car thanks for the inspiration 👍
They’re awesome cars🤘 made an updated mods video recently by the way as well
Bro this thing is mean! I’m trying to get one hopefully by the end of the year 😭.
Waldisimo thank you man 🙏 good luck! They’re such awesome cars.
Best place to get some good headlights for a forester the oem ones arent the brightest
"well I don't want to mess with it, at least for another six months" that right there is the epitome of spending too much and constantly moding our cars hahha
It’s inevitable hahaha
You mean: "wellIdon'twanttomesswithitatleastforanothersixmonths".
Looks awesome, but I bet that thing is off the scale when it comes to NVH!
Whats NVH?
@@JamesGilliam Noise Vibration and Harshness.
How much power does this make? I'm looking at doing a similar build but a little less on the exterior. Also is a 2 or 2.5L? looks sick
On this setup not sure maybe 260, on my most recent setup it was around 300 which I covered part of it in the $10,000 mods vid I have and it’s the 2.5
looks good!
Where is your Vape pen?
Man nice forester! What’s the intro song called
Hey would it be possible to know how much it costed for the performance mods only? And how much whp/torque it has now?
I’m not sure from this video, I made an updated video on my channel of the mods if you want to check that out. The cars probably at like 310 or 315 hp and probably close to 3K in performance mods including just the engine and exhaust
As someone who drives offroad and highways would you recommend getting spair wheels and or tyres for each way of travel?
I think it is fine just having one set! I have a friend with an off road inspired forester who drives it daily and off road on the same wheels and tires and it does great. You could totally have two sets but I think it would come down to how often you would feel the need to switch and if theres anything additional you need to do like maybe an alignment. Although that may not be necessary.
I have a 10 xt turbo automatic. You know any specific exhaust mods to make it louder? Or should I just muffler delete?
I’m not as familiar with the 2010s but I would check some of the forester facebook groups for any info but you can’t go wrong with a muffler delete
Where did you find the STI lip? Is it originally for a WRX?
did you get your bumpers painted? mine are plastic and I've seen a lot that are painted and it looks super nice
chris Guzman they actually came that way if that’s what you’re asking! I know some foresters came two tone from factory but these ones came painted, definitely gives it a clean look🤙
What does she push 0 - 60 now?
That I'm not sure of. Id have to test it

What would you suggest for a NA exhaust ? Custom muffler shop ? Or do turbo Subaru catbacks fit on ?
I’m not entirely sure on that but I would look into n/a Impreza exhausts from around then because I think I’ve heard that certain years of those fit. I would look into some Forester Facebook groups too to see if there’s some info there
check out: Subaru OFFROAD Australian Sand
The allignment of The Fender extension ruins The whole car😂 wtf dude
I got a 06 forester looking for a good place for aftermarket support any good websites?
What type of bumper did you use and you when people said they use sti part does that mean forester sti parts or wrx sti
Stuart Sheppard the bumper is the oem bumper with an importology style lip that just bolts on and the parts are from WRX/STI
@@JamesGilliam thank you
How reliable is it ?
Dani A been daily driving it for 4 years without a problem. My vf39 turbo cracked but I knew it was going to happen and I already have another turbo ready to go In as soon as these last couple things I’m waiting on arrive
would a similar method work on a post facelift grill?
Haven’t done it but I bet it would
Where you live, does it snow? I would like to know because of how low you ride with coilovers.
Yes it does snow, you can look at my Instagram for pictures too. It still does pretty good with it being low and on mediocre tires
trying to get them cosmis wheels ❤️
Creed love them so much
In What condition was the car when you bought it?
The Champ what do you mean? Like mods wise?
Or just the shape of the car
Was it stock when u bought it? Was it in good shape?
The Champ nope had a couple mods already done to it like the turbo and intake, looking to get a new turbo now as well though since this one cracked recently and the car was in like 9/10 shape
would the importology lip fit a 06
No but check @foresterparts on Instagram for lips for that year. I’m sure eBay has lips for your year too
I spent $8000 and ya can't see any of em.
But I'll bet it goes and handles better
What did you get?
Ive got a late model xt2.5, with 18 inch xxrs, not much done to it at the moment, except for the subaru 4pots, disks and redstuff pads all round. (Dont get redstuff btw, get yellow or orange, the red brakefades too easily).

I agree with you tho, style mods are cool, but I want base to match the looks first.
You ever had oil leaks ?
Not that I know of haha
How many horsepower does it have?
In this video not much more than stock, but I just uploaded an updated video and now the cars probably just around 310 or so
6k in mods? Laughs in IAG
Colorado? Where in Colorado are you at lol?
Northern Colorado 🤙
@@JamesGilliam like foco? Lol I just got a forester and I'm pretty excited.
@@FranciscoGarcia-rg5nj yes and that’s what’s up! These cars have so much potential
What year is the car?
2004
how moch power do you make
Dialing in my new tune now but I’d say 300-310
@@JamesGilliam on a dynojet maybe
@@theccwdad I made this video probably over a year ago so things have changed now
It will look better with another wheels because in my opinion are ugly but it's my opinion
Check my latest updated video
Nice car and I like your review but. Next time show your motor or maybe you don't wanna show it because you haven't done nothing there.
This video is outdated, I’ve made another one since then
Diffuser looks so bad dude. looks like cardboard
It is made of cardboard actually
lesbian car
What year?
this is fo sho givin me idea for my fozzy when i get it
Glad I could help
Bro I live in denver and just bought an 04 forester. Who did your tune?
Mine actually came with the spoiler
Should I get a 1st gen or a 2004-6 foz? Also great build might take inspiration if I get one

Einsteinium252 honestly not really! Just gotta check the oil every once in a while between oil changes and top it off if its low 🤙

Put the catalytic converter back on and i'll give this a thumbs up. Contributing to the ozone hole so recklessly aint cool.
