Liked as soon as I saw you swapping sway bars out in the snow. #keepgoing
😊
👍 1989 swapped clutch in my RS2000 in the snow.
everything was going well, until the rear spoiler...
Spoiled the car 😂
The spolier ruined it…..really
The forester is a nice mid size family SUV ,👍
Note: If you're going to spray brake calipers, remove the brake pad retaining clips first, they do not benefit from having coats of paint applied to them.
I have my 17 forester & I really enjoyed watching you doing all that I would love to see how to install a transmission cooler on the CVT it comes with please make a video about that!
Modding inn the snow, now that's dedication
If you live in a place like me (northern Maine) its not like we can just not work on our cars from October to April.
@@duanevigue1603 true true, i'm on the opposite side of the country where bad weather isn't a thing
Looks amazing bro. I just picked up some 2015 sti wheels in mint condition for 200 bucks. Putting on my 2018 forester 2.5i 6mt with xt front bumper. Love the look.
$200 is a steal
Congrats! I’ve been a Honda/Acura for almost ten years until I bought my Forester 2015 XT three months ago. Love it! Can’t wait for the snow here in Quebec. Love your mods!
that overspray though 🤭
😅
Brake Kleen to the rescue
Assuming you didnt know how to work on cars at all, about how much money would you guess all this would cost someone to make theirs like yours? Just a rough guess. Btw - your channel is great dude. Thanks so much for spending so much time on editing this video and all the hard work that's gone into it my dude!
Thanks dude! Oof that's hard to say. It can get very expensive if you get everything new which most of my parts were but a select few were used, saving me a few bucks. I can't really even guess because you'd be paying someone for labor. Let's say I spent about 5-7k on parts so far, then you'd be paying double that in labor for installation. Always good to be handy 😁
Wow. You make it look so easy. Wish I have the confidence to try myself.
Start with the little things!
@@TheHumanCarJack
Good point. I have a stock 09 WRX Premium with the short throw shifter, it only has 19,000 miles never abused. What would you suggest? I never did the blow off valve because it would have voided the warranty, I guess I'll think of that since I don't have too worry about the warranty anymore.
Nice little edit. The dedication shows, especially being in the snow
Ahh, what a long but rewarding road!
Definitely bro!
Just straight up vandalized that air box 😂😂
Did some of these mods on my 2017 legacy. Still a work in progress
Great work!!! Love the channel, editing, and content. Thanks for making these videos. Please keep it up!
Snow, yellow plate. I know where your at hahaha 🤣 I live in hell as well 🤘🏼
That was dope
Your car has come a long way!
Sure has!
Sweet man. I’m about to pick up an 18 forester xt. I’m not a car guy really but would love a little advice on what to do to make it a little better. Already want a new exhaust and an accessport too. Any recommendations on what mods are more important than others?
Figure there was close to 5k in mods in this video.. if I had to do one mod those black STI rims would be it, really nice 👍
Wow you did that by yourself, where did you go to school at?
Good video
Thank you
@@TheHumanCarJack I own the same car. I live in Turkey. Modified parts are not sold here for these cars. therefore, I can not supply the parts I want to my vehicle. This is very sad.
Thanks for the re-upload. I like the 13:20 film, as it denotes a quarter mile lol
Here's to 2020, and your continuing quest to make the Forester, "Your Own."
Amen brother!
Wow! respect for you🙏🙏🙏
Are you buying this used forester with koeppel in jackson heights??
I have a 2009 Subaru Forester XT that currently has a rusted out exhaust, which means I need a new one, what should I look to get along with the exhaust?
UnFcknBelieveable! What's the thing at 3:39 ? Im planning on buying the Touring one - can this be done to any model? The 2018+ I believe was the lesser engine and not the 250hp.
like the metallic gold rims and Yokohama tires. Wondering what the brand is and where I can buy it?
Those were Avid AV1's with Hankook tires
I have the same exact forester you have, does any Wrx springs fit onto the forester?
What did u put on the rear wing? Where can I get it
DM loudpackcustoms on IG and tell em I sent you
Will do. Thanks
don't get me wrong this is sick but I can't comprehend why you wouldn't take the extra 10 minutes to just take the brake calipers off to spray paint them. That overspray though. Sick car but that one just had me scratching my head.
You should do a mpg test stock ride hight vs lower hight
did you have to tune the engine after installing the CAI?
Nice!
I gave up on my 15' FXT after a year. I just didn't like the CVT. I was stage 2 and liked it for what it was but it felt limited in terms of power possibilities.
The daily struggle
Man, I’m inspired to buy me a forester.... you sir are a bad influence! LOL, funny enough, I’m from Queens, and I know about the Koeppel dealership on Northern Blvd. 🤣 I’m curious to know about the gas mileage after you got it tuned at Prime?
You are the best!! Please can you help me? I don't find somebody who can help me in Italy. All your job it's wonderful and your machine it's a dream for me, but now I can't change my car. I have a Subaru Forester diesel 147 cv from the 2012 type SH Type engine EE20. I removed the DpF because the exhaust stank too much and it makes too much regeneration. Do you think that a filter cat converter catalytic euro4 whit 400cell in ceramic can be good at reducing the smell?
What do you think about it?
I'm sorry brother I don't know anything about the diesel version. I didn't even know there was a diesel Forester!
@@TheHumanCarJack thank you so much
How muck in total could all this kit cost ?
Hey man, big fan of the channel, car and build so far. I just ordered a 2014 XT from CarMax and want to start modifying it and eventually get sponsored. I was wondering if you had any tips for a new Forester owner/builder? Keep up the good work my friend!!
Congrats and thanks! Best mods: transmission cooler, air oil separator, tgv/egr deletes and rear sway bar
Thanks dude! How did the walnut blasting turn out? Heard good things in the past
Your forester was on a dino but we didn't see what kind of power gains you got from the engine upgrades. How much power did they give you??
At the time made 282whp/310tq
Great recap! Have any more pics of that rear spoiler? I'd like to see how that turned out
Check out my IG and visit Loudpackcustoms on IG as well!
Subbed. Nice video
Thanks bro! Welcome
That turbo flutter though
Hey for the front bumper change out, does it only come in the red stripe? I’m doing bronze accents
I've only found red, blue and I think green. Bronze might a special order from 3M or another company that makes pin stripes
You should have done a J Pipe and Access port first thing
Сделай с моей машиной также!!!
What does the exhaust do other than sound? Not being a jerk just not a car guy
The more free-flowing the exhaust, the less back pressure you have. The less back pressure, the more power you can make.
Sorry one more suggestion. Paint over any holes you drill into a panel, as you expose raw metal, and it will invite rust! Even a paint pen will work
7:59 is that actually the "after" ?
Where did you bought the window deflectors? Thans!!
They're from Subaru
Love your mods. Curious if they caused any CVT or other issues. My 2017 XT lease is about to end. Original plan was buying / modding after lease and warranty ends, but a little scared by CVT longevity.
Is there a particular year XT you recommend over other years. Or to stay away from? Thank you.
'04-'08 FXT's could come in manual. Would find one of these. Best FXTs hands down.
I have a 2016 xt everyone always says No when i ask about modding. Staying tuned for more inspiration.
I see you’re in NY like me. Any trouble passing emission inspection?
Nope no issues
@@TheHumanCarJack Thanks!
Very cool. How much did it all cost?
Thanos voice: "Everything"
Nice
I have a 2017 XT touring. I would love to see your favorite modifications you have done.
Top Mods video on the way!
Does anybody know what mufflers at 6:53? i need more clearance on the rear end for my camping trips and this looks to be as good as it gets!
Nameless axle back exhaust!
@@TheHumanCarJack thanks mate. Much appreciated. Are you still running these? I've seen a bunch of your vids now and you're always tinkering and making changes so have lost track!
Nope they're no longer on the car
how you put on STI front grill badge? looks great!
Soldered it to the grill haha
Should’ve kept the stock ride height. I know the body roll is bad but lowered foresters make no sense
Handles like a dream tho
i wished you lived next door 😞
Parts list? :) just got a 2017 XT touring
in the description
How size wheel and tire
245/50/18. Full build in the description
How is the CVT holding up to the mods?
Still kicking
@@TheHumanCarJack Just about to roll over 100k with my wives 2014 XT and the only thing powerwise I've done is an AP and muffler delete.
Sounds like a boy racer- better left stock.
You've got me all figured out
Why did u buy two Intakes and two bovs lol
Double the gains
Nice build bud.
Thanks bud
Can I get this same build in a 2017 2.5i premium?
No not at all. Different engines
The Human Car Jack it have to be an engine swap then ?
The future here.... yeah, unfortunately 2020 was not great at all. Nice video tho.
Ok bros how much it cost for all the mods
Roughly about $25,000
Lol jking I have no idea
I have so much hate for that vehicle, there are no words to express my disappointment. I blew out my first cvt transmission at 38k miles, it was warranty replaced, second one at 77k miles, and subaru denied warranty. I spent 30k on the vehicle brand new, over 15k in repairs and/or aftermarket upgrades and tuning, and was able to sell it for $13k (due to a transmission that would stall the engine at most red lights or stop signs as well as stutter at highway speeds). Also my wifes 04 outback was able to get up dirt hills that mine couldn't. Me getting walked by early 90's chevy blazer (typhoon) proves this vehicle isn't fast, and the 'exploded' strut I experienced on a fire road proves this vehicle isn't capable.
You may have just gotten a lemon
Nah mate, this is just bad luck or you prob don't know how to get that thing up a hill properly. My 17 Forester walked my aunts defender and her friends g-wagon when we went off-roading, my auntie goes offroading every weekend , been doing that for decades. In January 21 we got him up a icy and snowy hill while a hilux couldn't and slipped down constantly. We couldn't believe our eyes aswell but this thing eats hills like nothing, had no issues with the cvt at all, only once with our trailers. And the 240hp do their job just fine, it's not meant to be fast. Drove a '18 Forester with 150hp once, I was scared to step on the gas cuz it sounded like it was bouta explode at 2k rpm. THAT thing is slow but subaru did a decent job for people who want a Forester. Your description fits our 2012 Forester, an absolute catastrophe.
it was downhill after the rear spoiler mod ha
True
Be careful if you alternate a car.
2020 was not as good as this video set it up to be
the cvt： help help help
Kill it kill it!
Rice
Unequal length headers make the car not sound as ricey, would recommend getting some
Oh boy...
You can't have uel headers on this setup. Twinscroll turbos need El headers
awesome build! needs some uel headers though!!
Those don't work with the FA20DIT
The CVT throws me off meh.
Get UEL headers
Thats not a thing for the FA20DIT
You can't go UEL when you have a twinscroll turbocharger...
Useless modifications, original is original and the best
Burning down my car as we speak. You're absolutely right
Nice mod for 175 horsepower😂
Lmao says who?
How much power was added?
@@Brent.Farmer Stock wheel hp is around 210-220 and now we're making 282 for the time being
Jack stands work better when they are under the jacking point and under load! Exhaust install made me cringe the whole way thru! Please invest in jacks...
...and POOF...there goes your warranty.
Oh well
Pathetic only automatic. If it were manual I might have some interest.
