Fitment Industries I love the room and the boxy jdm look ❤️
my brother owns a 2001 Forester sf5 sti
and am going to buy a 2001 sf5 type ii M and a 2004 forester sti
Bold of you to assume I don't own both
Wish we got the Forester STI from Japan
I 100% support a "So you want a girlfriend" video. That sounds hilarious
Next year's April fool's
yeah but a fully edited 13min video ya know?
It could just be a couple minutes
So you want a girlfriend? You really think you are ready for it? I doubt it
I second this
I feel like the forester is a car that your parents would actually approve of you buying at 16 because it looks like a safe, boring first car, but you secretly want it and dont tell them it has a turbo
Funny you say that, that’s exactly what I did at 16 😂 I blew the motor a year later.
I was 17 and tried getting the turboed one but ended up with just the na😂
Exactly. I blew my trans within 6 months 😂
That's exactly how I convinced my wife to get our XT. "Look at how practical it is!".
First car is a 1999 Forester that my dad had, he knew what he was doing ☠️ didn't have a turbo, but since it's losing life slowly, I'm looking into a 2007 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Premium. 👀
“So you want a suede couch”
YES!
Got one. It’s soft and pretty nice. Horse power kinda sucks though.
Viin Rula what’s the 0-60?
@@rishperez8019 Depends on who the passenger is.
@@timassgoblin i wanna put my suede couch on some air lifts
These things are insane boosted, nothing better than gapping a sports car in your family wagon
Lol. Trust me I know 🤣
Don't call the thing that destroyed wagons a wagon
Hells yah.
My 95 accord wagon would gap some motherfuckers...RIP😢
SUV
Got a 2001 GT SF, 300,000km on the clock, stock engine, boost controller, fat exhaust, still running like it’s brand new. Took it on a road trip fully loaded all the way from Gold Coast to Cairns and back no hassles overtaking and just a pleasure to drive.
Old is Gold!!
Me: Eh.. Foresters..
Alex: You're gonna have a blast
Me: Yeah Foresters
Always pick a foz over everything . Nothing like moving your entire bedroom to your new house and serving GAPPLEBEES at the same time 👏
Nothin makes a grown man cry like a slammed forester that goes vtututut
Best dad joke ever 😂
Man owning a forester is the best thing that's ever happend to me
Are the 2001 foresters good ? Non turbo it’s auto
@@whitepeachasmr yes i have one
@@whitepeachasmr great cars, not much power, but superb handling, and the engine refuses to die
WHY IS NOONE TALKING ABOUT FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST WIRES UNDERNEATH THE WIPERS!
Are they on 2nd Gen as well? Mine has it, it's an '01, my g/fs is a 98 and she doesn't have em. Also the radio antenna being glued the the rear quarter panel glass instead of sticking out the hood. Great innovations.
My wife shield defrosts so quick in my 01 !
3 gen subaru owner... I’m surprised you didn’t bring up forester lesbian jokes. Thanks.
I do I always tell people about that i have 04 sg stand for Forster 03-08 gen only
I love how a car can go from slammed to lifted in one gen. Slammed toasters are the bomb 🤙🏼
that’s what my dad did to my 08 XT haha it’s so dope

I just got myself a 1999 Forester L. Love it. So far has been super easy to fix up. Just did an axle, and general maintenance. Next up it's getting wheels, WRX Struts, and a short throw shifter.
Hey, I know this is 2yrs old, but I've just picked up a 99 L, do the WRX struts lower these?
@@tommybomber Bro you in bad luck
@@Evy_SXwhy
I need a Forester. After watching... Now I realllly need a Forester.
Me: has JDM 99 forester gt
Also me: laughs in sti
I want to buy forester because my mustang is very unstable in Rain and snow.
I had a few reasons for getting an FXT. First , the storage space. Second, the turbo and aftermarket support. Also can't forget about the cheap insurance because it's not a WRX/STi!
Dude right? I had an N/A forester that i gave to my girl and when i got my xt i was pleasantly surprised to find out my insurance did not change. Ha!
I haven't had my 2017 XT Forester long, it had an AC issue and was in the shop recently. They gave me an ascent as a loaner. Between my old crosstrek and driving that ascent around for 4-5 days it made me truly realize and appreciate how great the forester is. It's the perfect balance of fun and utility. It feels miles bigger than the crosstrek and is a peanut in comparison to the way too large ascent.
Love it.
Yea I love the newer subes but a cvt xt ain't near as fun as a 2nd or 3rd Gen
calls it SUV
Me thinking in my head. "station wagon sleeper"
Yay, one of my clips made the video! It’s funny that the newer foresters are used as off-roaders as the older ones are more capable and cheaper as well so you don’t cry as much when it gets scratched up on the trails haha. Great vid 🤘
I have an 06 FXT 5 spd and I absolutely love it. Great to see these awesome vehicles get some love.
Foresters are life 💜. Get you one.
Boys when I'm watching TH-cam. The only time my cat watches Is when Alex is talking about cars🤣🤣
😂
I literally just bought one last week 😂
noxxi knox are 2001 foresters good? It’s 2.5 automatic non turbo it’s in great condition it has 250k miles clean title but not sure what to look for when test driving besides oil leaks and transmission slips
noxxi knox so autos are bad? I just want to use to go around town or traveling I live in Texas and it gets packed here in Houston and driving a manual to get around would be a pain since traffic and there’s a lot of morons who driving horrible
noxxi knox I understand but I’ll be checking it out today and I looked at some of the photos looks In great condition so does the engine bay it’s not cleaned like they detailed it but you know just small dust here and there since it’s tx but it hardly even snows in Texas but rain often . He said it’s a clean title the interior looks good no rust on body but I’ll be checking for struts like you mentioned earlier
@@whitepeachasmr who are you talking to?
@@austinhagston1548 right 😂😂😂😂
Just picked up a 2005 XT a few days ago, came lowered on wrx struts. So much better than a minivan 😂
Whoa...fighting words there lol, google vankulture n check instagram @jserieshonda and @icekandy n see if u feel the same
And @hma_race_team
2nd gen foresters r super sick though
@@pinkfiffty3094 I came from a rusty mazda mpv. id like to think i moved up a little bit
@kaleb Miller ya that would be huge difference n really no one could really argue a forester would not be a fun vehicle unless maybe its a stock nottlm trim maybe, I dislike small suvs but tje forester is the exception n i would love one!! Did u google vankulture? Or look at youtube? Love hondas soni went with a 3rd gen odyssey, but some of the newer maybe about 2015 or so siennas r super sick even in stock form some lool really nice add wheels n coils or bags sicl lookin daily family cruzer, but havnt driven or even sat in the new siennas so dont kmow how they compare for fun factor. I know in 05 honda was leages better than the competition as far as sportiness goes.
SG Foresters for the win, best racer boy daily out there.
Such practical daily drivers with the potential to give you a large smile. Owned 2 turbo foresters, first thing to do is to get rid of the boat like suspension 😉

Alex: "Japan Always gets the cool the stuff"
Well it's their's... And you nuked them 😴👀
Japan enacts tiny acts of revenge for those nukes by not giving us the coolest version of models in the United states
Its like a petty girlfriend that said she forgives you but never really does 🤣
They attacked us, we bomb them😂
They started it tho
@@kpenis17 no they didn't
Best car I've ever owned, 1998 STi, Tein coilovers, 4" HKS exhaust, boost controller, non return fuel valve for forcing the engine to sip more fuel as encreace the boost and a turbo timer, helluva rocket, have run 230km/h quite solid, whenever it needs to (worst gas mileage ever stepping flat out), best versatility ever, you can canyon carving monday, speedway top speed thursday, moving your family wednesday, travel tuesday and off road in the weekend 😂🤣😂🤣 all around car, some pros (Shares platform and powertrain with impreza so it's over builded and over engeneered, LSD, great traction, huge aftermarket, big trunk, great cargo capacity and payload around 600kg, tows like a beast)/ Cons (small back seat leg room, horrible mileage on full send, JDM A/C does not cold 15°C as US spec just do 18°C, prune to overheating, expensive regular maintenance
Best car ive had was a 2001 Subaru Forester s turbo SF5 manual i lost it too rust ! Already want another was £1500! Spent about £1400 1500 ish on it then subframe fell off got 10 months and 11,000 miles was a tank in snow
What did you do on Fridays?
I picked up this 06, base model, non turbo, stickshift 800$ piece of crap of forester with what i think is about 400 000 miles on it and spent 2 grand fixing it and I friggin love it I dont regret a thing
Its hard to pinpoint what exactly makes them loveable, but you can go just about anywhere, work so well in the snow even with all open diffs and you can rip it around like a car and it will react almost like a car, its just plain fun
Every repair I had to make so far was a breeze to do and dead simple im just so impressed by this thing (except for the price of some parts)
Let it be said that I take college classes so you were scarily accurate. Right before watching this was talking about putting his wrx suspension on the fozzy. Saw this video and we were laughing how accurate it was. Thanks for the vid!
I got a 04 forester sti a few months ago and love it! It's basically stock and it's a blast to drive and touge.
This couch is starting to become iconic
I felt that Suburban gas tank comment so hard.
There were a couple times where I was filling up my dad's Suburban and the pump stopped before the tank was full because they stopped at $100 😖
Man I love these things, I wanna get one for a first car eventually lol, maybe save up for a WRX suspension and a newer exhaust or something, get that rumble going. And it's practical! Anyways, loved the video! I'm glad to see you guys do one on it.
I had a 2017 Forester XT. I loved that turbo charged suv. Unfortunately they got rid of the turbo in their new models so I switched to the new Acura RDX A-Spec when my lease was up
Love it. Foresters always have presence regardless of generation. Very hard to offend others of mod choices. Convinced my dad and father-in-law to get 4th gens for their safety and they love it. Me? I want either a 2nd or 3rd Gen, having owned a 2nd & 3rd Gen Impreza wagon in the past.
Do the Subaru Legacy GT Spec B next!
And an Outback XT while we're on it. I think the Outback is the ultimate Subaru sleeper - even rarer than the Forester XT
My first one was a 04 xs 5 speed. Great little 2.5 motor and Obsidian Black Pearl color code, lowerd, tint, sti exhuast with uel headers and some suspension mod to improve the handling was great.
Now i have a 04 Xt 5 speed, 2in lifty boi, 15x8 Bassett wheels on 215x75, supporting mod for a vf48 on 19psi. Great daily jumping curb with no care.
Look at Alex man, such an inspiration
Gotta love old school RuneScape, take my like.
I’ve waited so long for this episode!! Keep up the good work
Good vid. I have had my forester xt for a year now. I live is GA and had to have a manual turbo without rust. So i flew to LA to get mine and drove back with a buddy. Was a blast and would do it again.
I love my Forester. Fun to drive, practical, and looks amazing. I want to one more of them.
Just bought wheels from you guys for my forester xt last week, and now a video getting be all pumped up. Can't wait for them to come in
"So you want lexus IS-F"
QuarthMeat yes
Good luck finding one lol
Pls
Yes
Uploaded less than a minute ago? Damn that’s early even for me.
Owner of slightly lifted 5th gen - wife lets me modify as long as she can drive it to yoga on Monday! Damn you called that. Also called that I regretted not getting the turbo - so i bought a WRX.
I’ve got an 03 2.5x foz and I love it to pieces, it’s static, waiting on my shoes from FI and the uel headers and full exhaust go on this weekend.
My last car was an 06 Legacy GT. Years ago when I was able to get a brand new car I thought about getting a 16 WRX. Decided on a new as it it only had 9 miles after the test drive 16 Forester XT instead. It's been the best decision I could have ever made. All of the utility and practicality in a sorta quick car. I've moved three times and it's handled it like a champ. Sierra Nevada crossings are easy. Daily to work and road trips are a comfortaboe breeze. Tons of mods keep coming as the SJ platform gets older. The only downsides to the SJXT chassis is cheap seat material in the premium trim and the limiting CVT. But as a daily it's absolutely perfect. Glad I didn't get the WRX.
I have a 2015 forester xt touring and iv used 2015 wrx parts just put on ividia r400 exhaust and put a 2015 wrx bpv. I just started to mod it. I put a cobb tune on it. I love it. And i been hitting 20-21 psi.
You don't have to defend your couch every episode we love it
I love that how Alex mentions EC and Chippewa Falls. Also love how he says Chippwa Falls because that's the correct way to say it.
Hey just wonder what the best places are to go if you are looking at doing up your car I have a mazda 323 1.5 1986 its dope I've recently got the exhaust done and its 👌🏼
Subaru Forester 05 was my first car, so glad I still have it to this day. She a bit old but she’s good to me.
love how you can take a 1 gen from slammed in the summer to lifted in the winter, you just can't beat it!
I love my first Gen STI Forester. Just have some trouble finding parts but for the rest I love it, have loads of shit planned and take good care of it as it is my Daily and I don't wanna break it 👌
I have a 2006 xt forester it's been boosted has forged pistons and aluminium short block its flys and my boy loves it
Just a correction the forester debut before 1997 in Japan. I owned a turbo charged 1995 forester t/tb. Nice car and very versatile.
Forester’s look nice and are super underrated like the Volvo C30 T5 which is what you guys should do next
8 days after getting one, had to relieve it from a bad owner, 2006 xs, manual turbo. happy af
Just got a 04 XT, and I swear nothing really beats serving the 18 y/o in the BMW 320i a couple of car lenghts on the highway, while I'm hauling my winter tires in the back.
I got a first gen and I love my little toaster. Soon to have wrx suspension too.
Just got my (2nd gen SG09) XT back from the garage. My one is a little bit 'tired' and it showed before my newly discovered garage Kingham's of Croydon (who are brilliant btw) got hold of it and cleaned out the throttle body and injector system, now it feels like it has gained some horses :-) :-) My one has an STI intercooler/Y-pipe fitted plus cold air filter and a taller hood scoop from a "bugeye" Imprezza, slightly lowered on Pedders coilovers, happy days :-)
I bought an 03 forester x and have been on the fence about whether to raise it an inch and use it as a camp car, or lower it because it is a daily.
After this video I decided to lower it...
I use my forester everywhere, jump it and everything. Japanese tanks
Just got a '16 XT about a month ago. Definitely reccomend
I’ve had an 08 XT since ‘18 i absolutely love that thing
Buying my first fxt tomorrow pretty pumped little rusty on the quarter but 6k can't pass it up where I live having a manual is a no go so great to have an auto timing chain was done at 100k has 130k now so it'll be loved for many years to come
Amazing video, Alex has the mind of a poet and rambles on like J. D. Salinger, Can really make u picture exactly what he is saying
Should do a so you want series for new releases. In the market for 200 to 300 hp sedan And there's some that are specific to the last 2 years. Would love to see yalls take on the new forte gt or the guilia
I made a huge jump and bought one today, only my step dad has seen it, and I’m going to go pick it up tomorrow, I am beyond excited
It’s a 2005 forester XT manual
Use to have a manual, really miss it sometimes! But it can be a pain for sure. -Edgar
Came out in 98, first gen not turbocharged, folding rear seats,and sunroof came around for 2000. I own one. S model. Heated seats,power Windows,locks and leather seats. a.c. and the bad part is the Mazda transmission. It is a 4eat, which sucks bfdd. If you buy one, try for a manual transmission. 14 gallon gas tank though. Water pump is ran by the timing belt,so if you replace the pump,replace the belt and tensioner with it. It's recommended. Despite the transmission and the water pump, it is a good vehicle to own.
The RAV4 beat the Forester by a year and the CRV came out the same year as Forester. Both destroyed the Forester in sales. They also didn't have the headgasket issues or ringland issues. However, the aftermarket has been a lot kinder to the Forester, and the Subaru Forester XT is a hella fun ride. Gotta love the turbo. As for jokes, I get the vape comments all the time when people find out I drive a 2018 WRX.
The editing is and always has been top notch
My mom gave me her old subaru forester xt 2 years ago! I slammed it, put some enkeis on it, fresh black paint job, 25% tints, and man do I wish any of this was true.
Bought a 2001 Subaru Forester s Turbo manual in the uk Scotland lol very fast very fun mines 100% oem stock which is really rare for a Subaru 2 previous owners great fun would 100% recommend
Been waiting for this for awhile
Wheres my SF5 gang at??? 🤙🤙
I got a second gen 04 xt it’s absolutely a blast to drive
Thanks for making this 2 weeks after I bought one
Driving my second Forester and I am satisfied with driving Forester, very dependable.
My family and I drove from Florida to Colorado and back ofc and not a single problem and in the winter time. Started right up in 10 degree weather. Could tell many stories of that trip.
I personally own just a normal old 2.0 na 5spd first gen and even that’s a blast to drive around on sticky tyres. Imagine a first gen GT forester on the same setup
Ty for this vid, a Subaru Forester is my dream car so this really helped me. Also that ending was gold
I have a first Gen SF5 STI... and I just love the attention I get on the road... You hardly see them around, especially here in New Zealand 🔥
I just purchased my first gen forester yesterday!!
I'm currently looking for a blue forester STI with the onbord satellite navigation system
i used to have one of these as my first car. 2001 subaru forester. these things are indestructible 2 wrecks and mismatched panels but all the damage was cosmetic. thing could take a licking and keep on ticking
Nailed it owning a European SG still stock with the 2.0 liter na motor
Why forester instead of wrx
Because I can have a forster for 3.500 € and a WRX will cost me at least 10.000 €
I love that this video has reached 5k likes without a dislike.
2nd gens look sick lifted as well.
I own a 2001 forester GT with a VF34 turbo running 17psi as a first car and it is glorious
The part where he always hypes up the cars before he says the name always hyped me up😂🤣
That intro music is TIMELESS 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I miss my 04 FXT. I crashed it on Easter and it's being parted out now
Yessir Forester fam wya!🔥🔥
What do you think about the leaking oil ?
I just bought an 09 for my mum and i get this suggested. Should have kept it as it was a 5 speed
