How to make your Subaru sound MORE SUBARU
In Episode 3 of Project 4X4ESTER, we're getting well underway with the mods. I fit new headers from Empire Performance and re-work the rest of the exhaust system while I'm at it. But being a daily driver, I need the inside of the car to sound good too, so I also install upgraded speakers, a subwoofer, CarPlay headunit and some sound deadening. And it wouldn't be one of my projects without a bit of 3D Printing, so there's some of that thrown in the mix too.

Budget Forester gets LIFTED! 2” Subaru Lift Kit Installation | PROJECT 4X4ESTER EP2
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 місяці тому
My cheap go-anywhere Forester build continues with the installation of a 2" Lift Kit from HRG Offroad, which uses a similar design to SubieLiftOz. After successfully repairing all the issues with the car and getting it re-registered, it's time to indulge in some mods - and I'm starting with possibly the most defining one on the list. The installation process in this video is virtually identical...
Can I save this neglected Subaru? | PROJECT 4X4ESTER EP1
Переглядів 6595 місяців тому
I've gotten my old Foz back, but it's not exactly how I remember it. After being battered around for a couple of years with almost no maintenance, the repair bill has it destined for the scrapyard with a conservative estimate of nearly $6000. $6000 is the mechanic's price anyway, and I know I can get it done for a lot cheaper myself if I set aside some time for it. But that's just to get it dri...
Trying Alcantara WRAP - is it as bad as they say?
Переглядів 10 тис.6 місяців тому
Alcant-ERA popped up on my radar a few months ago with their adhesive suede interior wrap through some viral Instagram posts. But what a lot of us viewers noticed was the rushed nature of their demonstration videos which seemed to undersell the wrap itself. Despite this, I was super interested in the idea of a self-adhesive suede wrap and wanted to try it for myself, in the hope that the produc...
BI-XENON PROJECTOR Headlight Upgrade - E39 BMW 5 Series (Retrofit Lab Kit)
Переглядів 9 тис.9 місяців тому
This is a DIY guide to installing Retrofit Lab's Bi-Xenon kit for the E39 BMW 5 Series (facelift). The projector lenses in these old BMWs commonly develop internal fog which greatly reduces their light output. This video applies to OEM Hella halogen headlights for facelift E39 models between 2000 and 2002. Factory xenon headlights have a different installation process - this video is for haloge...
$80 LED taillights BUILT FROM SCRATCH (E39 BMW 5 Series)
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
In this video I take an L and spend 80 hours (and $80) building LED taillights for my 5 Series that ended up with a few annoying problems that render them pretty much useless. But despite this, I still vouch for this as a project and I reckon on the right car it could be really successful. You could also build these with a diffuser lens over the bulbs for a more even light output, but I wanted ...

Building a DIY DETAILING STORAGE SETUP
Переглядів 525Рік тому
The storage method for my work van was in desperate need of a refresh, so I started from scratch by building this easily removable storage caddy. It fits everything I need on a daily basis, while also organising and securing everything so it doesn't slide around when driving. There's still a few finishing touches to be made in the near future, but it's a massive improvement nonetheless.
Don't try to fix an LCD screen like this (piezo ignitor test)

After seeing a very sus repair video do the rounds online, I had to try this one for myself. Like a lot of BMWs from the era, my E39 has lost most of the pixels on the dashboard LCD over time, and I've made repairing it one of the last things on my list for the car due to the expense and effort required. But for $13, I thought this was worth a shot in the meantime. Of course, attempt this at yo...

    plot twist, there are some e39 headlights that are "permasealed" with some other kind of seal, not butil rubber, and only way to open them is to either cut the glass or to cut the corpus. I think the permasealed ones was post 2001 but im not pretty sure, if someone knows better let me know
