    Great video! I just got a Forester and you've given me some inspiration for how I can mod it a bit. thanks!

    That little Gerber multitool is the best! So easy to open with one hand keeps the tools locked.

    Love the 90s throwbacks and Gump references. Your videos are a lot of fun.

  • @black_n5492
    @black_n5492 Před 2 lety +4

    These videos make me want to go out right now in the middle of the night and clean, detail and fix all the little broken things on my car. Thanks for sharing these videos. The attention to detail you pay and how deliberate you are with your builds is just inspiring. It's not all about slapping on an exhaust and some headers and going VROOOOM. Your MR2 series was even more inspiring in that regard

    @littleepic Před 6 lety +5

    As a fellow Subie owner I like to see the mods and the maintenace stuff you do, so it gives me ideas of what I can do to my Crosstrek. Thank you for what you do.

    Just a low tech tip you may use or not. I've found cutting plastic like that, a flat cutting tip on a soldering gun works really well. An electric knife also speeds up the process and is less likely to slip. Your Dremel could work as well but I will humbly defer to your expertise as you know way more about car stuff than I ever will.

  • @stephenmoxley5188
    @stephenmoxley5188 Před 6 lety +16

    Great video, Sarah. I like your choice of mods to do on the Subie. Very tasteful. Make sure to visit your P.O. Box before you leave this weekend. I sent you a box that's supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. Keep up the good work and safe travels.

    Hay Sarah,, so forester gump is the reason I actually stumbled upon your channel maybe a year or so ago. You being you has kept me hooked to the channel. Being a ‘16 WRX owner I say definitely more forester content!👍

  • @Dinger182
    @Dinger182 Před 3 lety

    I’m way behind, but gimme all the Gumpy content. It’s how I found your rad channel, and you’re dope! Keep it up!

  • @Todd66
    @Todd66 Před 5 lety +1

    Yes do more Forester content. Here’s why... Mods are mods and good content is good content. Your videos are fun and actually full of quality how to. You are fun and do a really good job on these videos. I”m a car guy and really enjoy watching how to videos but, like I said, I’m a guy so yeah I enjoy watching a woman do something rather than watching a man. LOL

  • @redhauscreator146
    @redhauscreator146 Před 6 lety +2

    At first I was totally against any more mods to Forester Gump. But these mods are very reasonable. I have a 2017 3.6 R Outback and all I've done is add a towing hitch from etrailer and a K & N air filter.

  • @abrams313
    @abrams313 Před 6 lety +1

    Yes, Sarah. Please more Forrester content!

  • @robcreel4257
    @robcreel4257 Před 6 lety

    Great video. Forester Gump isn't your average Subie, plus it's your car. Whatever video you post I'm going to watch. Even your TFL videos have very good content.

    Those stiffener bars ought to make a big difference. As far as I'm concerned you can post anything you want it is always interesting.

    @CVObservatory Před 6 lety +8

    How could four people not like this video? Oh well. Loved the video Sara!!!! Keep showing Gump!! I'm not much into Subaru but Gump is a nice looking ride. "I slapped myself hard....kinda liked it" That was so funny!!!!

  • @Luke2901
    @Luke2901 Před 6 lety +1

    Loved this video. There needs to be a forrester gump playlist. If there is I need to look at your CZcams page more carefully. Keep up the good work. 😎👍🏽

  • @Iskelderon
    @Iskelderon Před 6 lety

    Seems like the usual difference when you upgrade from regular LEDs to SMDs. It will always be noticeable, so it's a good thing you changed both.

  • @jchast1980
    @jchast1980 Před 6 lety

    Nice job on your installs. I've always appreciated someone who keeps their vehicle meticulously maintained and clean.

  • @cadsux
    @cadsux Před 6 lety

    Early this year I purchased a blue 2017 Forester 2.0xt Touring, and that is the reason why I found & subscribed to your channel. More videos on Forester would be great, even if it's just you driving it around.

  • @mobiltans
    @mobiltans Před 6 lety

    F. Gump looks fun to drive! I think all Subaru's are fun to drive! My friend she was in the Air Force FYI and she has a 2015 white BRZ and its a kick in the pant,s too drive!

  • @cobragaming7068
    @cobragaming7068 Před 6 lety +9

    Hi from Britain , Sarah you make me laugh and speaking as a guy myself and into mechanics and classic cars for years ,it's good to see a woman doing mechanics and detailing and look forward to seeing more videos soon . you are an inspiration. thank you.

  • @lucasreeserlarkin8996
    @lucasreeserlarkin8996 Před 6 lety

    I've got a 2006 L.L. bean edition Forester named Sansa. She just hit 150k, and I've been having to fix one thing after another. (She was totaled at one point in her past) To the point, I temporarily broke up with her and started riding my Trek most places. That being said, I enjoyed this video. Would enjoy more content as most of what your doing is translateable to older models. I just had to replace her entire rear end, due to a saggy butt. It still sagged with new springs and struts. I was furious, I had to revert to spring spacers. It didn't feel good. But it no longer looks like I've got a big girl hog tied in my trunk. Thanks. You've made a Niche, and I like what you've done. Kudos to you from Eastern TN. ✊🏻

    You have a way with words. Don't change! Daily drivers need love too. Anything to make the parts runs a little more enjoyable.

  • @mikeb3172
    @mikeb3172 Před 6 lety

    Rear ARB's are a little dangerous on wet/bumpy fast corners... another thing you can do is lower the fuel tank a few mm with spacers which lowers the CG at the back. huge difference.

  • @thomasboatman3935
    @thomasboatman3935 Před rokem

    Like your vids. Just watched you change the starter. Had to laugh when you were going through all the fault codes. I had several Corvettes , c1, c3 67 Chevelle SS and 70 Chevelle SS, 575hp on the 70. And what electronics did I need for them. A dwell meter and a timing light.

  • @patrickzimmerli9032
    @patrickzimmerli9032 Před 6 lety

    Watching you work on Forester Gump makes me truly miss my Subarus, especially my '02 WRX Sport Wagon.😔 It is a labor of love. Many, many late nights completing mods after getting the kiddos to bed. It was all worth it, as you can't really put a price tag on experience, but I digress. BTW, your energy level in this God is amazing! Glad to see you in a good mood and smiling. Anyway, keep up the good work, my friend! God Bless!

  • @RegRock804

    Great choice going with the white, it really brought out the engine bay. Forester Gump is a clean ride.

  • @smithiness

    Tightens down on Forester Gump's nuts, makes him stiffer, they gives reach around. I swear that grille looks more like a grin now.

    Sometimes I think that you aren't a human, but a robot... you never stop, honestly I'm impressed!
    Another thing I like is your spontaneity, compared to other youtubers that look like staged.
    Chrisfix is nothing in term of content from a certain point of view, I'm not saying that Chris videos are crap but they aren't addictive as yours IMHO.
    Keep up the good stuff and take a break sometimes 😉

    You need some awesome s turns to fell the difference. Yeah coilovers will complement those bars nicely. You got that in there without doing a hack job on interior panels which is rare for a rear strut bar. Great job!

    Also mods 3" exhaust with free breathing cat and mufflers Invitia N 300's & cold air intake, (it runs like a scalded dog)...can't say how fast it goes either...Florida cops are hard on speeding lol... I call my Forrester (FESTER)

    @viffer94 Před 6 lety

    Super bummed Subie is dropping the XT. Hang onto Forester Gump, he’s pretty rare already and I would think he’s only going to appreciate as time goes by. The strut bar really helped stiffen up my old wrx, didn’t bother with the rear because it cut straight across the cargo bay. Nice tasteful mods, love it!

  • @pocobueno1
    @pocobueno1 Před 2 lety

    I think the 2015 legacy with 6 cyl engine has the same CVT as the WRX, I think. But they're not great as I had to have mine replaced at 62,000 miles, covered under warranty at least.
