  • I spent $6000 modifying my Subaru forester and this is what I ended up with. I still have alot more mods I want to do the the car but when I filmed this video that is where the car stood. I get asked alot about the mods I have done on my Subaru forester and how much they cost so this video breaks down the majority of the mods!

    i want all of this on my 07 forester, but just a bit higher with All-Terrain Toyo's with the white lettering, bayside blue with matte black rims. There's a whole side of the forester that street tires leaves dormant. It's in my and many other peoples opinion that the old forester/new outback is the best platform for an offroad vehicle in the world. Edit: If it had a flat/inline 6, street rims all day, fuck offroading. lol

      @JamesGilliam  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m not sure from this video, I made an updated video on my channel of the mods if you want to check that out. The cars probably at like 310 or 315 hp and probably close to 3K in performance mods including just the engine and exhaust

  • @shannonlee4125

    As someone who drives offroad and highways would you recommend getting spair wheels and or tyres for each way of travel?

    • @JamesGilliam
      @JamesGilliam  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it is fine just having one set! I have a friend with an off road inspired forester who drives it daily and off road on the same wheels and tires and it does great. You could totally have two sets but I think it would come down to how often you would feel the need to switch and if theres anything additional you need to do like maybe an alignment. Although that may not be necessary.

    • @JamesGilliam
      @JamesGilliam  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m not entirely sure on that but I would look into n/a Impreza exhausts from around then because I think I’ve heard that certain years of those fit. I would look into some Forester Facebook groups too to see if there’s some info there

    • @JamesGilliam

      Einsteinium252 not sure I haven’t looked too much into but I just know that certain Subarus tend to burn more oil than most but it’s still really not that bad. I check mine somewhat often and I’ll add a little if it needs it but it’s not bad

      Ive got a late model xt2.5, with 18 inch xxrs, not much done to it at the moment, except for the subaru 4pots, disks and redstuff pads all round. (Dont get redstuff btw, get yellow or orange, the red brakefades too easily).
      I had to replace the engine recently, so that set me back a couple k, and more on top of that doing maintenance. The old engine is about to go and get sleeved and rebuilt with forged bottom end, nitrided crank, and then build up with some power mods
      I agree with you tho, style mods are cool, but I want base to match the looks first.
