[@kenf2662]

One woman show with a cameo appearance form Charlie.

Your OCD is on point! If anyone questions your commitment to keeping your vehicles running and looking good, this is the case study file you can present to them. Great job and Mr Gump looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. 👍🏼

[@brianfoisy9818]

Watch out when running the winter tires in the rain, as u will notice that your stopping distance can increase by upto 50%. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@SarahnTuned]

..its an off-road rally car, so, Lol, Thanks though! haha

[@dontask8979]

Thank you Ms. Sarah for your service and your videos. Stay safe!

[@dougefresh133]

Sarah, I love the fact that you have a Subaru Forester, and you take such pride in your vehicle. Enjoying your videos. Take care.

[@michaelstorm7552]

Although I am an old-school kind of guy I love of how you work on cars nothing is overlooked or just good enough you demand Perfection and cleanliness that rates very high in my book

[@dihskursiv]

Sarah, you are incredible. Pretty, smart, funny and entertaining. Most of all I appreciate your indomitable spirit. I learn something from every video you produce. That's saying a lot when you consider your probably half my age. I hope you get everything you want in life. Thanks for the videos!

[@Sereno44]

That Forester 2015 is in better shape than one 2020... you did an extraordinary job on that car!!! Just see the wheels, suspension, the golden brakes, with special disks ... Just impressed!!! When you changed the brake fluid, I said to myself when was the last time I change it in my Kia Rio 2014... You are skinny and beautiful, but mostly very strong in mounting those wheels.

[@smokesgtp]

The pneumatic bleeders are where it's at. Makes life so easy and does such a thorough job.

[@paulbenoit9431]

A full dozen cookies for the Regamasters! Perfect choice on the decals. I never thought a Subie could look so cool!

[@botellon25]

Step by step, every mod you made to the FXT is really well done and clean. One of the cleanest Forester on KZbin with funcional mods. 👍🏻

[@mrwest5552]

Thank You Sarah and FabriCobbler 👍

[@funnlivinit]

FYI Sarah, I run Blizzaks all year round. I live near Carson City NV. So it gets hot here too. I've found that the tires still last 40,000 miles. Just as long as the OEM tires. For about 1/2 the cost.

[@briana8332]

Another informative update 👍🏼 I think one of the coolest things about your job/work/channel, is that you get to wear comfortable, casual clothing every day. I totally envy that!!

[@sporttruck5103]

Forester Gumb’s new brakes and rims with new wide tires look really awesome. Definitely a good upgrade. Of those rally winter tires ... I don't think they'll last the Arizona heat for very long. Here, where we have to drive on winter tires in winter, they are changed in spring as soon as the weather warms up. They melt even though there is half the heat here. Of course we also have pins in them. The winter tire is also bad in the rain, it’s really slippery, though it rains a bit in Arizona. Anyway, your projects are really nice to follow, I wish you all the best for you and your projects.

[@SarahnTuned]

This is not a road car that will be driven on asphalt.

[@ross7684]

Gump looks fantastic! Looking forward to see the Focus come together now. Another great vid, Sarah

I don't offroad my scooby but I kept the rally-armors on anyway. I noticed that its the first car I've ever owned without any little dings or scratches from road garbage being kicked up along the side of the car, especially along the lower front doors.

Near "golden hour" for your roadside video. Nice warm colors, no shadows. And yes, evening is when a ton of people walk. Best time of the day!

If anyone was interested, the unsprung weight that Gump lost is 2 stone. You're welcome. 😉 I love the rims Sarah, but does this mean you won't be driving Gump in the desert to watch the sunset anymore?

Your production quality of your videos has really improved in the last few years. Also, it is nice to see that you are enjoying yourself again.

[@Shine13373]

I almost wish I didn't need to take my FXT offroad watching your build, it's badass. Wrap those fog light trim pieces black to finish the black and white look, its super easy.

[@sjhanson1690]

I must admit, Gump looks pretty darn good Sarah. Just try not to bed those old shoes into the new rotors or you'll have to turn the rotors to prevent glazing. So brake lightly without heating them up. Before I retired (I was an engine machinist) we used to actually turn brand new rotors for people because they were always off from sitting and shipping etc. It's like you never buy a new bare cylinder head and just throw new valves in it without cutting the seats. They are never ready to assemble no matter what they say. Anyway, when you do get the new brake pads installed, then you do wanna go out and 'bed' the brakes in.

[@bengray2568]

Hi as a subaru tech . i know that the abs /HCU has a different controller for the STI VS the Wrx VS the Forester you may get away with just programming your abs module to a Sti

[@Dave-fx5zw]

I disagree with this, the brakes themselves aren't really what changes in the calibration differences, the overall dynamics of the vehicle are, not to mention the other system differences (engine, dccd) between a sti and a forester. The function of all VDC systems will still be working properly for the vehicle, the only real change is the volume of fluid moved. With the HCU on these only having a input pressure sensor(m/c output) not an outlet sensor(pump output/ suction valve drain back) it's an open loop system. Anytime that activation occurs (be it a pressure increase or decrease situation) the HCU will still respond per vehicle dynamics, even if there is a slight time delay for a sufficient pressure increase event due to the larger fluid circuit. There are references to changes in VDC calibration that were made for the SJ Forester ts, but unless that file is available (I'm not seeing an option for a 206kw version in SSM4) then I would keep it with the standard SJ calibration, especially since Eyesight was standard on the ts.

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

Buying a car you've owned and worked on must be heaven, everything being more tidy than it was when new!

Sarah, I've quit all other automotive channels to view only yours. You make things easy to understand and really fun. I'd bet you'd make a fantastic stand-up comedian, plus you're beyond gorgeous. Win!

[@deopersad2915]

I have been busy lately, but I will be going through your old stuff and catching up on things lol I only discovered that I could look up things on a menu that have been posted 🙁🤙🏼

[@Dave-fx5zw]

That's a huge amount of lightness you added up front, Gump's going to be light on his feet now. Your front dampers are adjustable, right? I'm seeing that both Forester and STI have symmetrical primary and secondary braking circuits, with proportioning being handled electronically in your ABS modulator(Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) so front to rear pressures aren't a concern of the master cylinder. The only real difference you have between the two master cylinders is amount of pedal travel to move a given amount of fluid, pressure created is based on volume moved. If you're ok with the pedal travel now, then there would be no reason to swap masters. On this style caliper, you should bleed the inboard nipple before the outboard, and when you're using suction to bleed, you want to remove the vacuum and let it gravity bleed for a second. The low pressure that is in the caliper, can suck back air into the system. I thought you would be going simple on the focus suspension with F150 rear shocks, but fancy works too!

[@don7406]

Great, a twofer. Gump and the Focus. Snow tires, what a great budget idea.

[@amigatommy7]

The board for notes is an excellent idea.

[@gregburns9534]

Sarah, I love, LOve, LOVE your videos. Probably because I too own an SJ Forester XT. Anyways, have you considered restoring a classic vehicle. That would be great content. Keep the videos coming.

I’m glad you got it finished and you’re happy with it. I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of the wheels myself but it’s not my car. But the rest of the car is badass. Looking forward to the Focus content!

Congratulations on the Forrester and I am looking forward to the Focus.

[@_J_U_S_T_I_N_]

The forester looks awesome!!! I kinda wanna know what it would look like if you slammed it on those coilovers. I think going with the minimalist approach on the decals was the right move. Great job Sarah!

I just love how the gold anodized hub center ring peaks through the front center bore of the wheel, keeps me up at night! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Off-road is not your only concern with mudflaps - there are always little rocks flying up from the road - the mudflaps helps prevent stone chips.

[@Setright]

Love your attention to detail, and it seems I may be more afflicted than you: RBF600 is too thick for the car. DOT4 is divided into sub-standards. The original has twice the viscosity of the later (LV / SL6). The idea is that the thinner stuff is faster to react to the high-frequency pulses of ESP. In theory, if you drive within ESP and ABS limits, you will never know the difference. However, people make the mistake of using the LV stuff in older cars...where it can be really helpful to find minute leaks. Oops!

[@applesplayhouse3406]

Hi there, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and have really enjoyed them, thank you for keeping up with constant footage and enjoyable content as it helps entertain myself and distract myself from pain and life.
