not gonna hold it to you for not filming a lot at the track. bothering with a camera at a track day can take away from the experience. great update man, love the build so far!
You should consider the whole 9 yards for oil cooling/precautions. Killer B oil pan, tomei oil baffles, killer b pickup tube, AOS, and if you want to be very cautious the killer B oil control valve. I’d also recommend gauges so you can monitor your oil pressure and temps. Make sure you run good oil for track days as well.
@@TheSpartankiller87 honestly who gives a shit. Great content on this channel lets not much it up with "real OG" and "FIRST" and "LIKE DIS COMMENT" garbage
because every shit yotube user thinks lamborghini or ferrari are the best they dont see the hardwork they see money sed reality of todays rich kids ,.....
@Origins Garage Oh no I 100% realise, it's just mental it's taken this long. I watch pretty much mainly TH-cam and these guys are madly impressive, I'd rate them up there with the best of all of the Car/bike stuff. Anyway hopefully they keep growing!
About 6 months ago I bought my JDM Legacy Spec B. Never thought I'd own a Subaru let alone a Subaru wagon but I just had to get one after watching some G&G. After an engine rebuild, I love it 😆👌
This is a build I am currently dreaming about. After my 14 XT was a disapointment (due to cvt) I want to go back to a 04-05 forester xt for a short get around car. I love the way an old forester box handles on good coilovers. Great work putting in the time, effort, and money in this car. Really impressive.
Not only coilover...a forester needs front subframe spacer delete, caster rotated top suspension mount and bigger aftermarket sway bars to be on same level as impreza sti
2004 forester 2.0X was my first car. Had it for a year and swapped it for 2006 BMW X3. I feel much better in it. bmw is my daily now and the forester is a weekend fun driver. still love it and im happy it was my first car ever. Tho i have to say you need to work on it by yourself or have a mechanic who knows about subarus.
I've got an 06 wrx wagon, I'm running pinks with com-c tophats up front and group-n tophats in the back. I went with this setup over a coil over setup for the lack of maintenance. 22mm adjustable front (set soft in summer, hard in winter) and a 24mm adjustable rear sway bar (usually set hard year round), KB endlinks, rear subframe lockdown bolts & -1.8 front -1.2 rear camber settings, "zero toe" and the car is neutral rather than an understeer machine, get's a little oversteery in the winter though. I run a 17x8 with 235/45/17's in the summer (Michelin Pilot sport 4s) and 17x7 with 215/45/17 snows in the winter (general altimax arctic) I do run a 3mm hubcentric spacer in the front as well, might have to increase it and add one in the rear when I go 245/40/17's after this set of tires wears out. Honestly the suspension feels a bit harsh on bad pavement, but the car is sticky and turns in really nicely. If I could get my hands on a clean 06-08 forester I'd put the same suspension under it and would love to STi swap it; more wagon would be better.
It’s my daily driver. I never intended to do this many modifications. Always the way. Every time. Got my spec c with no modifications but stuff like this wants me to start doing stuff to it.
I love your guys vids as always. The quality of the content is always amazing. The one complaint i have each time is i wish you guys uploaded more haha. Keep up the amazing work guys.
An old friend of mine put a cash deposit on the first STI Forester brought Stateside. We were tuning Japanese cars years before the first Fast and Furious movie. I bought my first CRX Si 23yrs ago, long before the first Gran Turismo came out on playstation.
Jacob Baker Welcome. I’ve have an 05 Impreza, a legacy wagon and an built 02 sti. Been in it for quite some time. So trust me when I say these forester mods are run of the mill
I am really enjoying these quality videos but mainly the good vibes from these guys. Happy, joking, informative and down to earth. Awesome stuff. Thanks. p.s - more road trip vids ;)
Inwas always wondering why cant I see more content about modding a forester, now I have found a channel I can binge watch and probably do to my forester
I definitely want to run air ride with where I live the roads are just ass so I like the idea of being able to change my set up at the push of a button.
Not a track guy or care about it. But I found your Forester XT build and finishing product super interesting and cool and others videos super cool.Two Thumbs Up.
And to gain caster setting..just rotate your front coilover top hat so it raked to the rear of the car... Dont worry on camber...the stock knuckle bolt able to give around neg.1.6 to neg.2.2 degree of camber...
Awesome video. Production value is the best as usual. I use porterfield carbon kevlar ceramic pads on the track and they work amazing. Also be sure to ass ss lines as that helps a lot. Very cool build and total sleeper. Nicely done mate.
For Brake Fluid, I would pass on the Motul. You can go with Wagner 5.1 fluid that you can buy at Pep Boys even for about the same price as the Motul, but your getting 2x's the size bottle.
You really need a larger hood scoop, the JDM one should fit (I have one on my 06) and they're not stupid expensive, maybe 250 bucks. Feed more air into that big GS intercooler. Might even be some shots of mine on my channel, not sure.

I agree and more importantly did it perform. (:
"I never really intended to do this many modifications to it"....said every Subaru owner ever 😂
Exactly what I said when I started modifying my old WRX. (:
I bought 5 speed forester xt. Thought perfect no need to do anything else. Now I have a 6 speed swap on order
Wow,You did a great job! 👍
Ssdsyder rettet rrrdrrrr er drrr TT sorry VC ygggg g gggfgggdgyd A y y yyyyy
2:48 "We're a little bit late" *looks at wrist but he doesnt have a clock*
came here to say this Xd
A watch not a whole bloody clock
people do this all the time as a joke. not sure why you're pointing it out.
A lot of people do that.
The time is " 15 bone past skin " Crap I'm Late
This Channel deserves more attention. Love the vid :D

What is that behind your car?
Nothing, Just an RX7 and a FD Viper not much
Vlad 2711 I noticed that to that’s awesome
Good eye 👁. I was wondering what those were.
Real OG fan would know it started out as a automatic daily and camera car
I started watching their channel 2 days ago and I knew that from their Florida to Alaska trip videos.. don’t need to be OG to know that
@@So0nerMag1c but like a real og fan would know that it was the daily and camera car

Ryan No Thanks 😊 Real talk yo.
"That's just not enough camber to win me the scene points I need at the vape shop."
The level of nonchalant this was said with nearly broke me xD
Why such awesome channel with such amazing quality content doesn't get any attention views and subs
Shubham naik he has almost half mill subs and is part of YTs top 2% soooooo?
It need to be in YT 0.02%
Such a amazing content
because every shit yotube user thinks lamborghini or ferrari are the best they dont see the hardwork they see money
sed reality of todays rich kids ,.....
These guys deserve a few million subs man the quality of the stuff the put out is insane.

Good to see the Forester STI back on the channel!
This is a pretty cool daily driver
Make sure to swap your engine with a brand new one after every highway pull to make sure your car is healthy
make sure to buy a new car after each cold start, wouldn't want to have a unhealthy car now?
so true
That’s a great idea. (:
"It's my daily driver and I never intended to do this many modifications." ~Every Gearhead ever
These dudes makes a track day prep look like a movie
They need more attention!!!! Gahh
That why we watch their content.
I forgot how much I love the way these look. Makes me happy to know you’re taking care of it!
yes. I have an 08 XT sports that I'm playing with. This series is really making that easier.
About 6 months ago I bought my JDM Legacy Spec B. Never thought I'd own a Subaru let alone a Subaru wagon but I just had to get one after watching some G&G. After an engine rebuild, I love it 😆👌
was super cool to see you out on the track that weekend man! car looked amazing!
Actual dream car - the jack of all trades
I love your Forester one of the best builds I have seen
Great video. You made all the prep work look easy for non-car people. We all know that stuff can take days and thorough planning.

THANK YOU ! FINALLY A BREAK FROM GRIDLIFE VIDEOS!!
Finally the forester is back !
Congrats on getting your car fully back up and running. Looking forward to seeing it on track.
This Forester deserves the STI badges! One on the grill and one on the trunk would be awesome to see!
lol no
No. Still not a true STI and never will be.
Loved seeing this Forester XT so much that I’m going to buy one as my first car
2004 forester 2.0X was my first car. Had it for a year and swapped it for 2006 BMW X3. I feel much better in it. bmw is my daily now and the forester is a weekend fun driver. still love it and im happy it was my first car ever.

youre doing great job Ben! Repect for all the work did by yourself at your garage, that’s great !
I’d love to see more asmr rolling shots of the Forester! Just watching the car hearing both engine and exhaust is really soothing to me. 🤗
This is hands down my favorite channel on TH-cam
Thx for video, bro, from Russia! We love foresters so much, too!!!

Love the g clamp ‘brake piston’ pusher tool! I do too.
I love this build, it’s the reason I got a 07 FXT and soon will do my Sti swap 🙏🏼🔥
Love the video! It was a pleasure meeting you at the Gridlife Alpine Horizon Festival! Thanks for the continued great content!

The black and green on the coil overs is sick
Really enjoyed the video. Would have liked seeing more track time though.

I love your cars dude, especially the civic, nice attention to details that you put there
a track video and people reactions should ve been the best video ever..........
You helped by me not hating SUVs/Crossovers anymore.
you guys are my inspiration for my channel! I love your content.
Congrats on the track and the work you did on the car.Loving your videos every time i see them.
Great quality video, fantastic instructions, very unique build. 10/10
Jacob Baker lol? It’s quite common, dare I say played out even. But you’d only know that if you’re into Subaru’s.
@@Bittertokken I have a 2016 WRX STI

Great video! Thanks for sharing the Fozzy updates!

fun fact. those front brake pads also fit the 04-07 Volvo S60R/V70R.
Finally a vid about the forester
I definitely want to run air ride with where I live the roads are just ass so I like the idea of being able to change my set up at the push of a button.
Great video as always. Just wish there was some more footage of the track. Excellent job as always. Can not wait for the next video.
*waits for the 'he's gonna blow the car up at the track' jokers*
Awesome update. I have plans to track my 05' Subie next year.
formula drift viper in the background with 1300 horsepower
Really high quality content. Very well produced. You need more views!
Not a track guy or care about it. But I found your Forester XT build and finishing product super interesting and cool and others videos super cool.Two Thumbs Up.
I absolutely love that forester
Pumped for the detailing video coming up 😁
Honestly, scene points at the vape shop should be number one priority. I don't know why you would even mention ride quality.
And to gain caster setting..just rotate your front coilover top hat so it raked to the rear of the car... Dont worry on camber...the stock knuckle bolt able to give around neg.1.6 to neg.2.2 degree of camber...
Love your videos. No bullshit great info and camera work
Awesome video. Production value is the best as usual. I use porterfield carbon kevlar ceramic pads on the track and they work amazing. Also be sure to ass ss lines as that helps a lot. Very cool build and total sleeper. Nicely done mate.
Your garage just look alike heaven
forester gang! Glad you love yours so much. I absolutely love my 07 5sp xt
No one want subaru for being expensive to fix but i got one lol... these video just motivate me to have a forester Sti 🤔🤔
Re-watching all these episodes again because I miss Francine
Back again lol 😅
Awesome STI Forester! Enjoy!
It's an XT not an STI.
@@staples4335 It is an full STI swap, if you watched the show.
You built a great car, channel and videos are quality like your Forester
Love your car and videos ! Currently driving my daily 04 Forester XT sti swap through the Smoky Mountains
This channel is just amazing. I'd love to see a mighty car mods crossover
I said that on the mighty car mods golf video lol.
After seeing this, I'm totally glad my 06 FXT is bone stock.
Ur wheels looks fresh
Love me some francine! Keep up the great work guys!
you guys kick ass, always waiting eagerly for your next video!
Just a random guy (short Ben) 😜 with a wealth of dope info and quite relatable
Awesome video and amazing car!
Love your Forester 😍
You should hit up the rallycross events!
Makes me miss my ‘05 Fozzy STI-lite.
His forester is my dream subaru
I didn’t know they allowed SUV’s on track days. But I guess yours is in the gray area. Nice car 👍
For Brake Fluid, I would pass on the Motul. You can go with Wagner 5.1 fluid that you can buy at Pep Boys even for about the same price as the Motul, but your getting 2x's the size bottle.
Looks like a friggin hoot! Get some two piece rotors for the front of the car, it helps significantly with brake fade.
Yeah just check that time on that watch your not wearing😂 great vid dude!
you built my dream car greetings from argentina
Awesome and Great Forester Love it ⛑ very important
Man I hope I get to meet ye in person some day and just drool near(not on that'd be rude) that car. Love it man
Wow, from daily to track car in great time 🗿
Awesome build! Don't fear moar camber for faster lap times ;)
Love the Forester vids!
Woah is that Dean Kearney's Dodge Viper in the back there??
Sean yuppp
goes into shop with awesome cars, doesn't film
Finding 5x100 sti bbs wheels in great condition is rare. The gold looks way better too....
Mine are actually the 5x114 hubs since I went with the newer, stronger bearings when I did the 6speed swap :)
You really need a larger hood scoop, the JDM one should fit (I have one on my 06) and they're not stupid expensive, maybe 250 bucks. Feed more air into that big GS intercooler. Might even be some shots of mine on my channel, not sure.
PLEASE BABY JESUS!!! Give me a road course on Maui🥺🤕😭 I have nowhere to drive my beloved STI to its limits... #paradisemyass
Now this is the kind of video I wanna watch. When will you two go for another road trip?
You guys kill it with the filming and edits (and content of course) ..... now, whats next?
I see you are up to date on subaru memes
This dude is loaded. Fuckin love this car btw.
