I swear you're the only YT automotive person that actually works on their projects and finishes them.
It’s not always the best path for growth on UA-cam unfortunately, analytics favor half-assed 💩 often times.
A 2007 Malibu ...a never ending project keeping it on the road
That's a clean conversion. Props to figuring it all out, I'm sure it took tons of research and forum digging to figure it all out. Looks like a nice upgrade over stock too
Rock auto part measurements & subaru illustrated part break downs.
@@SarahnTuned You've done the Forester community a great service. Anyone who wants to upgrade the brakes can just watch this and know the whole deal. Great job. You really knocked off some un-sprung weight, which is the best weight to lose.
@@SarahnTuned Hi Sarah, just wondering could it be using 2017 wrx sti rear knuckle 28411VA020/030 rather than 2011 sti knuckle?
Thanks a lot🙇🏻♂️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello sarah ik this is a old video do you know if this will work for a 2018 fxt with eye sight? Or if anyone else knows ?
I don't see why it wouldn't. Did you try?
You used 'accoutrements' just fine in a sentence, it's just like additional equipment, gear, or apparatus.
Love your videos.
ashley1969 cheer's for that, saved me googling it. 👍
Well, as a French word accoutrement is generally in reference to clothing, but it wouldn’t be the first word that got additional meaning when used in the English language.
@@nicc171 Totally correct, from an old French word meaning 'seam' and going all the way back to a Latin word consuere, meaning "to sew together'.
Appropriate use especially when matched with blue nail polish!
I'm really glad to see you using the DOT 4 Racing brake fluid. Many people skip upgrading their brake fluid. It's very crucial that we upgrade your brake fluid even on your stock brake system if we want more them more safety.
The dream brake swap for any Subaru enthusiast! Nicely done.
Your videos are never long enough..your excitement is contagious..wonderful content..
After purchasing my 2020 Scatpack widebody, I ran across your videos by accident. Not to pass up a pretty face, I've become obsessed with your beauty and personality. My wife passed over 2 years ago and I'll say you are a breath of fresh air. You make me laugh. Do you have a single twin sister living near Dallas? I can only dream. I'm now hooked on your videos!! Thank you for being you.
Appreciated the attention to detail and the sidebar about the MR2. Thanks for bringing great content to the Subaru community.
I’ve never really been into cars and always thought of them to get me from point a to point b. After watching your videos for the past year that has changed. I now try to take better care of my car. Just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome content!
Those control arms are the icing on the cake!!! Beefy and they match the coilovers.... pretty slick
Best video ever!
I love using other OEM parts to accomplish a swap, instead of modifying/fabricating. My fav!🤗
BRAVISSIMO! Amazing job piecing that rear setup, it looks AMAZING! Nice work Sarah! Very impressed cant wait to see it on the ground with the wheels on. grats!!!
Very much well used word, my dear Sarah... . 'Accoutrement' properly defines the accessories which accompanies the main assembly. More power to you!
Watching your new videos brings so much joy to this 72 year old heart. Keep up the great work. We all love ya !!!
For a major rebuild, I think this is the first instance when everything went according to plan.. kudos on the great job.
Awesome job Sarah. I love keeping things as OEM as possible too. Thank you for doing this.
Dayyaamm girl, those lower control arms are fire. Nice work figuring it all out.
Welcome to the club, i just did front and rear knuckle conversion to make me 5x114.3 when I did my brembos. More wheel options now too.
It's awesome three years spending a labor schedule on your garage is incredible but it looks you enjoy it as much as us watching you doing it and inspiring us.
Great job Sarah! That takes some research to figure all that out, and order all the parts ahead of time, and without seeing it done anywhere. Just Awesome!
Best video on Gump so far. How to mix and match stock componets to make upgrades work. I did the same thing at the dealership parts department for club members. 1st gen air bag to coil spring conversion, Impreza TR brake upgrades, RS/STi conversions. Lots of tricks back in 2000-2008.
Great job!
As another Subie owner, who has spent hours on forums reading about the 170-190 rear brake con
swaps, I really appreciate your efforts, and this video. 🔥
Love that you are as you are in your videos. No acting, just pure talent ;) . Pretty and hard working- nice combo...
Excellent work, Sarah. First off, your research obviously paid off. Secondly, that brake system looks totally awesome! Behind those new wheels, it will look totally badass. Your high standards of quality are very impressive. Keep up the great work.
You never cease to impress with your knowledge and skill!
After so many struggles and sad/frustrated Sarah videos, it's nice to see you accomplish a big project and be able to smile and be proud of your work. Keep it up Sarah!
Love the videos, not really a car enthusiast but I do like to tinker. You just throw yourself into any challenge which I admire. I have an Aussie Ts STI forester so this conversion caught my eye. Love the trailing arms.
What you accomplish in that small space is incredible. Love your channel!
Awesome! I've got an SJ Forester XT and you always give me ideas for what to do with mine.
Hi from Sydney Australia, which is where the DBA 5000 series rotors are made. It's great to see you getting parts from companies all over the world. That's called success!
Hey Sarah! Have to say, This is by far the best video you have put together to date! From the editing, content, work done, just everything, it's absolutely perfect! It's been awesome watching you evolve over the past 6 years. Great work, as always... I share your OCD cleanliness and can appreciate everything you have done to forester Gump, Mr dos, and tatter tot! Keep up the great work! Let me know if you want a license plate from Montreal Quebec Canada lol
One of your best Sarah, packed with wrenching. You're easy to like.
Great research / work on fitment and, honestly, the best wrenching video that I've seen in a while. Kicking myself for not picking up a ~30k mileage '17 XT earlier this summer!
Señor Dos looks really great, it reflects not only your technical skills but your pride and determination as well, kind of long for OCD as you say
Awesome upgrade! I went with the 4/2 pot Subaru gravel brake calipers (06-07 WRX) on my '09 Forester. The fronts used the OEM rotors but the rear required Legacy rotors, which had a bit more surface area and were vented. Better bite and sexy looking 👍
It’s been so nice to see someone with a channel on a Forester XT and doing things like this.
You are absolutely incredible I've been watching you off and on for a few years with this
You have an awesome personality and mind. The way you think is so random and intelligently planned out it seems!
Amazing upgrades to Gump. Kudos for figuring all this out. Wouldn’t know where to start! Great job.
You made the right choice going with the sti knuckle over the wrx one, especially with the new lateral arm. Very nice and so clean.
You started getting the details ready for this 9 months ago, bet you're damn happy to have it done!
Anyone else like her videos before you watch them cause you know there always gonna be perfect also i love you using Australian made disk and pads
That is one clean conversion Sarah. Even Mr. Clean can’t hold a candle to what you do.
Clean. Nothing janky. Well done!
Yet another fabulous video. You are going to go a long way, an incredible future awaits you.....this is just the start.
great job.. i own the same model in oz. and have been upgrading stock parts to performance parts. i was in a pickle on how to sti brembo and swap out the stock calipers and etc, as you mentioned the front is easy, the rear was the diff part, because of the inner drum parking brakes setup.. now i know what to do.. thanks mate.. and cheers
Despite not being a car nerd or understand quite what you’re up to, you certainly make entertaining and informative videos. Kudos.
Used this video as a guide to do this swap myself. Great upgrade for the XT.
Another excellent video Sarah. You are most definitely the Subaru Guru!
When is the last time I commented that you're...AMAZING...as I see it ...your working on these models...!!!
Sarah, you are always entertaining and fun to watch. Keep the great videos coming, and I thought I was fussy keeping my truck clean.
One of the best time lapse presentations on Sarah-n-tuned. I.e. the overhead angle view on the front driver side.
What a great conversion! also digging the 80's pop music you used!
Great video as always & it is amazing what you do in the space you have, I can't wait to see what you do in a proper workshop.
Keep those great videos coming Sarah, those breaks look amazing
Best video yet! I had as much fun as you did.
I've been kinda trying to figure out how to do it correctly. You did it! Awesome!!!
I’ve modified all my cars. But I promised myself I wouldn’t touch the 2019 Forester Sport....but you are making it extremely hard to keep that promise. Great job on the brake conversion!!
This is sick! I just upgraded the brakes on my G35 and I actually painted the calipers black and used gold akebono lettering for the face. I really like the black look of sport calipers.
I really appreciate they put the threaded holes on the front to pop the rotors off. I did front brakes yesterday and spent 30 minuted with pry bar and sledge to get the rotors off.
You got that Subaru since you were in Air Force!!! After all you've done sensuous Sarah🔥 that car is going to fly 💥✈
Mad respect to you Sarah amazing job 😎
Nice job. They look awesome. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised after you get it bled and head out to bed the pads. Those front calipers/rotors alone are a great upgrade both in feel and stopping power.
When I changed my rotors and pads on my 08 STI hatch from the oem Brembo's to DBA rotors and Hawk Ceramic pads there was a massive change in brake feel.
Awesome vid!!! I lean something new in EVERY vid you make!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I can’t wait to eventually do this on my 18 FXT!!
Amazing as always!!👌👌
The video I’ve been waiting for since I subscribe. As a fellow SJ FXT owner i really appreciate this and I wanted to do this to my fxt but the rear stop me because of all the hacking involved and you literally solved the puzzle. Thank you Sarah. Now off to find these parts
Parts listed in video description
Better hurry before the price goes up or they sell out.
Sarah -n- Tuned thank you
Did you end up doing it? Will it fit 17" wheels?
Hope you get your dream garage, I can't wait to see what you can turn out with all the pro gear, lift and loads of space. Love the videos please keep going. 👍😎👍
Its awesome that you don't actually show us in detail how to do this. Great job.
WELL DONE!!
upgraded gump brakes, with oem parts, deserves a big pat on the back, for doing your homework!! Cant wait to see the finished car.
A+ as always. Love the siri interruption. As far as I've always known, the manufacturer people always refer to those style rears as drum-in-hat setups.
You are amazing Sarah! I love your work ethic.
Wow. This is coming along nicely. Amazing work.
Lovely Jubbly again Sarah, keep them coming.
Great job figuring all that out. Looks super!
Thanks Sarah! ... you are amazing ... a true automotive warrior
Love you, love this, love the content and conversion; drive a 2017 WRX Limited which I'm planning on doing an STI transmission swap alongside Brembos; the detail you go into and the clear research shows these parts can all play together like LEGOs (no cutting!!!); I have a lot of videos to catch up with, thank you~
I saw a 2020 Forrester Gump today. Dark grey with red accents. Interior was black with red stitching. Really nice. But it was a 4 cylinder. Your brake upgrade is very nice. Stay cool
Amazing work, well thought out and perfectly executed.
Great Video and the truck looking really Nice keep up the great work 👍
Your excitement is contagious Sarah. I'm excited for you. Can't wait to see you drive Gump with the new upgrades. I'm sure it will be an amazing ride. I so much enjoy your videos Sarah it's hard to believe you're a one-woman show.
Love that 80s stranger thing vibe music.
Nice work.
I’ve been waiting for this😊 just the greatest ❤️
So so sick! Well done! I figure this basically makes you the forester queen.
Thank you for doing the research on this Sarah. I will totally be doing this to my 2018 FXT! 😁💜
I Enjoy your videos Sarah...keep pushing forward
Looks awesome Sarah!! Cant wait to see it with the wheels on.
That so badass! Thanks for the links and figuring this out. Gonna have to save up for this when I get my other project done so they can be twinsies!
You are truly amazing what you can do boggles my mind well done
So glad you made this video! I was just about to do this to my FR-S.
That’s so awesome! Looking forward to the braking test! :)
I can't wait to see you in your dream garage. U really deserve it!!! Love the channel.
I am impressed with your skills.
Every time I watch one of your videos It makes me want to buy new parts for my WRX
You’re so impressive! Love your vids Sarah!
Epic! Love the content Sarah, keep up the great work!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your work!
The only mechanic worldwide who’s skills cleaning and looks are all a 10
Such care and research goes into your work and not to mention the quality of the filming / editing
I love your videos and will never stop watching
This was one serious upgrade and yes in that small garage miracles happen
❤️🌈🏴👌
Such a clean setup, can't wait to see it on the ground with the rega master's on. Gump is gonna look slick!
Really nice accoutrements Sarah.
That's epic Sarah! Great work! Love watching your content of you working on this kind've stuff. As an ex WRX owner, it all seems so familiar :)
