This was my dream for the 99 Forester I have... but my best friend (which was an amazing mechanic & the brains of the operation) passed away a few years ago. The thought of trying to build it w/o him just doesn't seem as fun 😢 I drive his manual NA 06 Forester daily. It's got headers & lowered and all that but the EJ25 leaves much to be desired. So for now...his ride is good enough. I can't believe we're coming up on 4 years now. RIP Devin.
The perfect Forester XT. It has everything it needs. The ideal weekdays commuter/family hauler/grocery getter and Auto-X ready for weekends. Very nice!
Eh not perfect. A jdm ej20 20 with dual avcs heads port matched to an NA intake manifold with a front mount. That's all I'd change. The JDM ej205 is a better motor honesty.
With all the work done to the car, it's got well over 2x more power than stock. It's not just total power, it's power to the wheels. A stock forester xt with 240hp is to the crank, so maybe little over 175-190 to the wheels.
I love how the review rolls along, then an awful joke happens, then I laugh anyway because I'm degenerate too 😂😂 bruh I hope you get big someday I love your videos
I need details a lot of them I have a run and silver 2007 Subaru Forrester XLL Bean and I want to do pretty much the same thing but lift it like an inch
Not really. You're the small % that hates it. I drive an 06 one lowered w/ headers, exhaust blah blah all that crap & ppl LOVE the way it looks and sounds. It's a slow NA, but it gets SO MUCH ❤

When the 2.5X blows up this is what I wanna do.
I love the build! Currently done the most of the same mods on my xt! just missing r180 and built motor.
Great video and terrific build of a great wagon made so much better
Thanks buddy! Yes it made it sooo much better than a standard old XT

They made all those changes I’m surprised they didn’t slap an STI badge on there too
There’s a guy in goffstown who has TWO Toyota centuries, and he’s open to show them off!
Best looking forester out there! Watching in my silver 03 right now 😎

Jesus Christ, check your sound levels when editing. That transition from you speaking to the engine revving was way too loud
i loved it
This thing is so rusted out... my god...
😬🤫
I don't care if that thing runs 9 seconds in the 1/4. Its an ugly sh@tbox.
Very nice opinion you have... there are others that do like the car.
