Man that mechanic gives such good vibes

Great work fellas! We're proud to be part of the story.

Love the Outro... no car is ever complete...

"Correct! It goes upward- and is a pipe" Fascinating

You could have at least let us hear the new exhaust

I’m not familiar with Subaru’s however, all the upgrade items look like very quality. COBB looks very quality.

Deeply impressed with the quality of your videos guys, and also Riyadh seems like such a cool guy to work with, awesome job, keep us updated in the future

The only channel that I watch every second of the video..... (no skipping) It's like watching a short movie

Something about having your faithful, practical wagon full of whatever you're hauling while ripping through gears and listening to turbo noises. Well done guys.

Do you guys have a wiring diagram for what you did for the 6mt swap? Me and a friend have 6mt a friends Forester SG, but cant for the life of us get the speedo and ABS to work. I've tried splicing the VSS directly to the speedo/ecu wires and tried into the speed input for the TCM. No signal, Havent gotten a propper ocilioscope to test for a bad VSS though..

The way you pair your visuals with the music is out of this world. Keep it up!

You guys deserve way more subs and views, the quality of your content is like no other honestly. Keep it up!

Dude! This must be a dream come true for you! You did EVERYTHING to that SG! Love the detail into it... Even new window gussets!!! (I know how necessary those are for those speakers to sound CRISP!). Cheers!

So much love ! So much respect ! You can see how much you love your Subi! Very very very clean Wagon! Much love and respect

“Reliability, throttle response, sound, & aesthetics.” Agreed with that 👌🏻

The only channel, where I watch the videos from beginning to end. Good job guys. Keep it up.

You guys just touch our hearts with these videos. Both of you Bens keep up the great work. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️

This video makes me so incredibly happy. This kind of build has been on my mind since I first fell in love with Foresters. It’s so damn cool to see someone successfully did a 6mt swap!

Well done! Such a clean build so far! Plan on getting that spoiler eventually for my SG Fozzy as well! Keep up the great work!

i really like this forester build so far its really looking awesome ^^ i already saw the alaska road trip series and it was inspiring :) keep going and make this forester even better than it is now ^^ i'm looking forward to next years videos best wishes from germany ;)

Got one of these "old" Subaru Forester XT 2003 and I love it.. it drives much better than my 2014 car.. and its much more reliable and fun + joy to drive! These foresters never die! It was so enjoyable to watch it comes back to life! Greets!

i love this channel , everything from the presentation to the editing part is top notch

another absolutely amazing video. such a tastefully modded forester. great work! 🙌

And it turned out nice and more bad ass looking, congratulations on the upgrades man👍👍👍

This was an absolute treat to watch. Great content guys, as always. Cheers!

unbelieveble the quality of the videos these guys make.... huge thumbs up as usual

Crushing the editing AGAIN. Thanks for the update on the project!

Genuinely my favourite car you have done. But that's probably because I'm a huge Forester fan. Please keep posting videos about it!

Great video and I am still trying to find part 1 of this series. :( I like how you all VLOG about your vehicles and thus bring us along for the ride. (:

This is literally the Forester of my dreams. What a beauty

Planning to do a manual swap on an SH. love the series and how visual it is 👌🏼

Amazing journey. I am in the process of doing the 6spd swap to my forester. Can’t wait till it happens.

Your content is just unique and valuable. Keep creating awesome stuff !

Saving this to reference when I have means to do this swap. Thank you for this series.

I love this Series! Damn I‘m learning do much and I‘m hyped as hell to mod my car when it‘s turning warmer again 💪

Gears and Gasoline is the channel where you turn off your adblock

You should've gotten the AC fixed too lol.

Video is stellar, the techs are on point, the project awesome !

Watching the whole process of these LOOONG videos without being able to see and hear the end result and not learning the total cost was a total waste of time! Thanks buddy, you have loterally shoved us up a commercial!

Love this channel and video series. I am a huge fan of the XT forester as I have one myself. I appreciate you sharing this build with all of us and appreciate your attention to detail. Someday I would love to do the 6 speed full JDM swap but for now I will have to live vicariously through your videos. Please keep them coming. Maybe if you are ever in the Poconos area of PA we can meet up for a quick chat and of course check out our cars.

Thanks for putting all the explanations of what the Mods do. I just bought an 08 Forester XT and am looking to modify/repair until I have a reliable 300Hp/Tq toaster.

I'm in love with this quality With the Audioengine A5+ and the S8 Sub, this video is completely bonkers It's like I'm listening to a movie in a movie theater

u made me miss my 2005 facelift jdm 2.5 forester STi , love your build, keep it up!

8:10 Thanks for the tip on the window gusset. Now i know what i need to fix on my Forester XT. Very annoying problem. I think i'll make a how-to video on fixing it!

The quality of yours videos is amazing !!! 👍

Thanks a lot for these great high quality videos much love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

Been waiting for this! Nicely done

damnn, the editing skills. 11:03 just blew me away. Great job guys

You are great guys! Love your channel and videos!

Awesome video to watch! Keep up the great work!!!

So cool, I want this Forester haha. You guys are making me want to do the same to my Outback XT which is suppose to be my daily driver!

Awesome quality videos I’ve watched many times over😀

心を奪われました！貴方のようなエンターテイナーになりたいです！ 日本車を大事に乗ってくれてありがとう！ I’m impressed by the video. I want to be like you who love cars and live by loving things. Thanks for uploaded the video and care for Japanese car!

This car is like the perfect DD. I'd only throw some STi bucket seats and steering wheel, give it a good detail all around and man... You're set! Beautiful.

Video quality is great guys. Keep it up!

Love this new development, can't wait for more.....I have 2 legacy's , a 2.0 GBT and 3.0R, but I'm starting to fancy a Forester now :)

This made me miss my "07 Forester XT Sport, great videos.

I have a 2005 forester STI and also a 2004 impreza STI ver. 8, and its super amazing, not every car can mess with it in the hill road, down hill even amazing, i can whack any corner easily..

Congrats! Keep smiling! Enjoy, be proud!

Owner of modified '15 STI, 370z and heavily modified 350Z and man am I both impressed and jealous, good job!

Nice build, simple and clear. Cheers

I swear every video on this channel looks like an entire movie, soo good to watch!

Good work! I bought an '04 Forester for my mom in '08 but fell in love with it instantly. It is humbler than yours, 2,0 naturally aspirated auto, Latin American (Bolivia) version. However in my case: - I would have swapped to a 2,5 natural, as the turbo does not support the low-ratio converter (not available to the US I believe) - I would have swapped to a manual obviously (the auto for the 2,0L is worse) - I wouldn't have updated the suspension: My stock setting is a perfect compromise for mixed curve-carving/offroading, only enough plow to communicate stability. If I am not mistaken no car ever overtook me in two years, I overtook everything, especially around bends. - I am fine with the stock looks (shorter bumpers than the US version, though), but larger wheels and no mud-flaps. - All your exhaust mods seem great but I would have liked to hear the result. - The '15 STi steering and brembo upgrades seem great too. May I ask how much your STi used gearbox cost? What ECU's did you have to swap? What adaptations did your mechanics have to do? How long did that take? GREAT MODS, in many ways the car I want. The 04 Forester is like the TOTAL CAR: it excels in literally everything.

The first video I saw in your channel was the trip one, nice to see how it started.

im a new subscriber of ur channel!! im from japan and i own a 2019 subaru legacy bp5 wagon too.love ur vids man lot of tips for my car. keep up!!

Great vid wished you guys made more videos more frequently love the content and quality

Love it man better than tv any day.

"No car is ever complete"... So true.

There are some cars I’d keep stock and there are some cars I need to modify I love your videos bro! You are my inspiration

This is exactly what I want do with my '06 Forester XT. Goals.

Great video man keep them coming

Quirky, out of the ordinary car builds are what make the Autos & Vehicles section of KZfaq so great.

YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Wicked cool looking brother!! Keep it up!

I've been waiting for this!

Your guys video quality is amazing

You guys make great video peak of my life

Great video! Keep up the good work

This is amazing, great work

Looks like you've spent close to $7,000 USD for all that. transmission being $4000 all in, $800 Cobb ap, $800 exhaust, $bumpers, $suspension, etc. No subaru is ever complete

as a fan of SUBBIE, i'm impressed by GG n their mechanical STI tactics.

That message in the end will live in me forever "no car is ever complete"

So I have done close to this exact swap 2 years ago.. 04FXT 4eat to a JDM DCCD 6mt. I am curious as to how you did your wiring. I used my existing 4eat harness and depinned the TCM wiring and ran the 6mt signals into the cab with existing wiring. I have heard a few different way people have done this and the most "trouble free" but most expensive route is a 5mt bulkhead harness that gets ride of the TCM completely. I decided to go the painful route and wire it myself.. In the end, the only new wires I ran were for my DCCD. Speaking of which, I get that people really want the JDM forester or Spec B tall gears, but to do a 6mt swap and not have the DCCD is kind of a bummer.. That was honestly the biggest selling point for me on going 6mt. I did my entire swap with the help of one buddy in 5 days start to finish aside from sourcing a 5mt ABS pump to get rid of the ABS light. I did do my swap that budget way and stayed r160 and 5x100.. I never had intentions to track the car and ended up almost paying for the entire swap with the proceeds from selling r180 and 5x114 hubs and brembos.. In the end, I was happy with the choice of making the swap 2k cheaper instead of having the fancy stuff.. Honestly kind of surprised that I didn't hear about this swap when it was in progress! Through the various subaru and forester groups, it seems like I have discussed the swap with most of the people that have taken this on in the last 2 years! Cool to see another 4eat-6mt swap that is on the road that went well! Edit.. I made a video about my swap. Excuse my rambling and inaccuracies, I had just got off a 14hr swing shift and had a few different people asking me to outline the swap and I hastely threw together a lame video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLagabGh0qyWoZc.html

Wow!!!! Amazing job to everyone involved!!!!

I'm crying becaause im happy, this is such a beautiful video. Thanks

This awesome wish you could create a forum with fully details so others can duplicate that swap!

I love the look of every subaru

This should be the standard of making a automotive documentary. - Job well done

Happy Holidays, Ben & Ben!

I know other Ben must be scowling whenever you post this beautiful, pure, and superior Subaru content. Oh what's that? You want turbo, AWD, manual dad wagon that can roast yer 'stang off the line? Ain't no Mitsubishi gonna fit that bill.

Lol @ the disclaimer "A Cobb intake does not increase your engine output to 515 wheel horsepower". I guess it's needed because someone might sue Cobb over "But it's on the Internet so it HAS to be true!" :D Great episode! Also, Riyaad needs his own KZfaq channel!

Just picked up a 07 XT Sport. Please make more videos with this thing!!!!

This makes me wanna get a forester. Its done up nice. Looking for something that can be enjoyed and daily driven

This is so Beautiful and Amazing!

This man spared baaare cash on this build. 💪🏼

Cool videos great to watch great content

Love your channel and videos

great video. Make me miss owning my 04 sti.

Love u r work and videos 😍😍

Oh man the forester gussets...my wife had the same issue on hers! Also does ben constantly give you crab for your subaru haha? keep up the awesome content!!!
