So.. I Tore it All Apart Again.. // JDM Forester STI tS Conversion

[@andrewyoung473]

Hi Sarah thanks for the comment about Subaru CVT being ok. I've had my XT for 6 years now 106k miles, I use it on my farm (ranch in US parlance?) occasionally and it's amazing. 2 ATF changes and a lot of hard road driving and towing and it's still ok.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

A great tip I found for pushing dead cars by yourself is to grab one of the wheels and turn it by hand. You get more leverage and it is much easier than just trying to push.

[@crusiethmaximuss]

11:44 wow!!! That's the nicest multimeter I have ever seen 👀😮🙈

[@djcdub3712]

The black interior so much better wow I would not have thought it would make that much difference.

[@matthewprestine1974]

I think I saw two blaze orange air bags in that Subaru!!!

[@roblis4237]

All black interiors look so much better!!! Love it

[@17.06.Copper]

Fun fact for anyone running 14-16 Halogen headlights, the 17-18 halogen headlights oem are plug in play of you want a updated look with out the wiring.

[@judahnanas9772]

All I want is a Crosstrek STi... But I guess a Forester STi could work!!!! Love this stuff! Keep em comming gurl!!! TY

[@opiealvin]

You are right, Sarah. Never half-ass anything. Always whole-ass it. Yup.

[@tim8767]

It's the only way.

[@1969Risky]

I did the Black interior look for my '03 Holden VY Series I S Ute 5 years ago using OEM. It came out far better than expected & still looks modern. Sourcing Subaru STi parts from Australia will be hard as they are snapped up quickly by Subaru owners here. It's just a matter of keep searching online. Lol I suppose we'll either have to call it the "Gump Edition" or "Subaru Forester SnT".

[@Primus54]

Once you get over your “PTSD” from Mr. Dos’ wiring project, I’m convinced you will eventually wire up the adaptive headlights on Gump. It’s kind of like the same reason mountain climbers climb mountains… 😉

[@readyforpushbackjet]

I’m so proud of you for changing your headlights out to OEM…. I have a 2018 Black Edition with those headlights and wondered the whole time why you just didn’t get them! 👍🏻

[@richardsilvestri6874]

Every time I see a new video from you it makes my day! Thank you for brightening my days Sarah!!

[@TM-bg8lh]

Only 300 units were sold in Australia and I own one. Very cool car and fun to drive

[@SarahnTuned]

Love this!!

[@Auracanal]

The veil in the headlights, you are right. It is called VOC (volatile organic chemicals). At factories even the transport protectors need to be specially designed to let the vapour go, otherwise they would make veiled areas in the paintwork.

[@murphtheirishmanmurphy7268]

Almost 370K subs.! Come on 400K! I was here when you had less than 100K. So happy for you Sarah-n-Tuned. ❤️☘️

[@bobrohr2121]

I'm mesmerized by Sarahs electrical expertise.

[@ericmoss8344]

I'm SO Glad my '17 Forester XT Touring came w/those headlights and interior... plus my headlights have the steering responsive movement which is pretty cool too. :)

[@raymondfrank9202]

Sarah, you are one hard worker.

[@mikew1978]

Nice headlights Sarah

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

Yes, Sarah.....there IS something you can do on the MR2. Remember the empty antenna hole on the rear wing?? 😄😄😁😏

[@SarahnTuned]

I can’t find my S2000 antenna for it now 😔

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

@@SarahnTuned aww, maybe you misplaced it during the move to your new shop.....🤔

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I’ve had some nasty monsoon storms in a metal barn. It can get crazy loud. Gump looks so clean, it is a Sarah-n-Tuned clean.

[@scipor]

it looks nice.

[@williamberger2178]

"If you enjoy pointless JDM stuff, your going to love this video" Hilarious!

[@glennviloria2833]

Sarah, great job on Mr Gump STI make over. Always do everything the right way.

[@vincef7487]

2:44 “Why not just spray paint this stuff black?” “Because that’s the HALF ASS WAY OF DOING IT.”🤨 Never have I seen a face match so closely to an emoji.🤣

[@roadie3124]

I applaud your obsession and persistence. I understand exactly why you would change the interior to black. I'm still looking for genuine Hirsch carbon-fibre trim parts (dash, centre console, door, etc) for my RHD 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero six-speed manual.

[@craig_ramjet990]

Buddy: "What color for the Focus interior?" Sarah: "Tactical Thermo-Nuclear Detonation White" Buddy: "Oh we got that." (It looks badass)

[@garnetheron4885]

I like it I just bought a used Volkswagen Jetta wagon that was the part it out I’m putting in It a Audi TT 6 feet in changing the interior from light gray to black coming out tight.

[@MrCrclark90]

I love my 2018 forester. Not an XT but has the manual. I wish they made the XT with a manual.

[@RaverBarbz92]

Hi Sarah, I found you when I had my Forester sport. You gave me inspiration to somewhat mod my forester. I don’t have my Forester any more since I found that I didn’t want all that room and I wanted a sport car. So now I drive a WRX. Love your content

[@brianhall23]

Black trim looks good.

[@TrumpetBiz]

Run Gump Run ! Gump looks awesome !

[@manwithclass09]

Thanks so much Sarah for your wonderful work. I am now working on THREE project cars/trucks - you have inspired me..... I am making great progress on three "oldies but goodies" that are not expensive or "super cars" by any stretch - but are all paid for - immaculate and make me smile. Two trucks - a 1995 K1500 Chevy and a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 - both 4x4 and regular cabs. And a future "sleeper" - a 2008 Chevy Impala that drives so much better than it should and cost me pennies to own/maintain. (even through I drive 64 miles one way to work daily) Over 30 mpg highway with a v6????? Anyway - thanks again for all of the knowledge and entertainment Sarah. IT is fun to see someone as OCD over their cars as I am!!!!!

[@PRO4XKEV]

I purchased the A-pillar black covers from SubiSpeed, they had the other plastic in black also.

[@weekenderfam7965]

great timing of this video! I just got the same parts and planning to do the work soon, it’s actually more than what I expected to swap the panels. I wish they have the black headliner and the trims for the eyesight

[@joshuagies4900]

I feel like I enjoyed the back and forth of the low beam, high beam too much 😆

[@archmagexiv]

Thank you Sarah!

[@r0llinguphill483]

2015 crosstrek 190K miles that I put on and its drives like a charm

[@romans8forging181]

I think light green is my favorite color now!

[@dshaeable]

Hahaha that must have been Saturday. That was the best storm we've had in awhile.

[@5914DL]

I get everything you do. Would I do it? No. Do I love that you love it? Absolutely! Great stuff Sarah.

[@nautn]

Splendid! Nice upgrades for Gump. Oh and that white interior in the Focus, intense!

[@execlipse7620]

Just thinking of making my forester xt like a tS and this showed up. Waiting for the next vid of the forester

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

14:26 yes, yes it is. I was kind of hoping the actual headliner on Gump was going black, or is it going to be in the future? The pillar trim looks sharp, it seems like a subtle change until you notice how big a difference it actually makes.

[@kcg795]

I'm certainly not disappointed with my Bi-LED steering responsive headlights in my Legacy after I've been using an EvoX-R Bi-Xenon Retrofit in my Cobalt for the past 8 years.

[@Whosaiaze]

This is something i appreciate. I've been wanting to do this to my last two vehicles for years. Always found the roof linings to be far too expensive though.

[@hatchkid91]

so cool cant wait to see whats next for it

[@duckyjp17]

I’m def not a Subaru fan but this is a super cool project. All of your projects are super cool.

[@SarahnTuned]

If what I want to do after the TT is gone happens, you’ll lose your mind then! Haha

[@charles_wipman]

I like the black interiors on white cars, after all that work on the oven with the lights... well, the new ones look good too; nice!.

[@djductape]

Subaru dealer parts are amazingly priced!!!!!! I was getting new parts from Subaru cheaper than salvage yards were asking.

[@LaddGardner4]

Chevy Chase needed Sarah's help to wire the homestead in "Christmas Vacation."

[@briankelley616]

A well loved, well maintained vehicle will always reward you, and no vehicles are more loved than Sarah's!!! 😁

[@joseph19491]

Per 15:51 Yes, Sarah, we all want to see your 'headlights'!!!!!!!

[@garymatulis8367]

Hi Sarah - You Are AMAZING!! Loved this vid as I do every one you do! Definitely look forward to every one! I wish there would have been one of you when I was younger!!! Never stop being you!!

[@itsneuman]

i feel you. i'm hunting ford parts from AU. coming up with no one that wants to help.

[@axelbart7470]

Sarah is the re pin expert , thanks again for another awsome video to make Sunday night enjoyable 😀 your work is phenomenal 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@dylandowd4391]

Managed to get here 28 seconds after the video posted. Keep up the great work! My wife and I are invested in all of your projects and tune in to every update.

[@dylanschmidt4607]

I praise you for the patients you have taking apart your forester, I currently have the 17xt premium with black and white interiror and i do have 2019 stil parts but crap im so impatient to rip shit apart and end up breaking something yikes!

[@bombasticanimal1853]

That whole white-with-black-trim combo -- there's only one word for it: yep, "Crisp"!

[@alexanderh.999]

Great Gump video. So fun to watch you go through so much work and get things done nicely.

[@ac7205]

Best, favorite, awesomest show on the internet 🐧 double part 🐧🐧they get all of us, we buy when we can afford it, and then we schedule the install when we have the time.

[@Riley_1955]

So your saying it actually rains where you live......It rains where I live too.....Amazing!

[@SarahnTuned]

I know!!!! It’s wild 😝 except we had just over an inch of rain total over the span of 17 months.

[@ericbrown679]

Sarah i have been an automotive interior repair technician for 21 years , yes its a real job lol but yes you could paint all the plastic in your car without peeling and it would match perfect .

[@SarahnTuned]

$500 for brand new trim was worth the time saver though for me. I have a severe problem with trying to do a weeks worth of work in 2 days on top of making a video out of it.

[@bambamyong]

I need to change my headlights out too! Looks amazing 🤩

[@keasbeydave]

Wow, you know so much stuff.

[@Hades2Eros]

I thought your James May poster was Fred lurking in the corner 😂

[@Zohar-Modifier]

Your shirt Sti pants Sti and many within :) everything Sti :) Sti Bag shoes slippers hat cap jacket :)

[@Canadiancarguy1987]

I am glad Sarah Touched base on spraying the interior with paint!!! LOL, I totally agree she nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nigolt.4345]

Crisp and Fresh!

[@criticalevent]

14:09 If you have room to get your hands in and roll one of the tires instead of trying to push the car you can usually get a lot more torque going.

[@5GreenTea]

I love the new black upper interior. Another bonus is that your "A" pillars will not glare in the windshield as bad as the light color ones did.

[@davidmahan4160]

👏 Given the Gump some love, I love the Gump. The new headlamps are fabulous a much more clean look. Can't believe they sent you two of the same parts. Sarah you seem genuinely surprised that underneath the rear seat was clean, you look after the Gump very well, Seven years and only a starter motor failure is excellent. ❤😊👍 By the way the focus looks awesome. ☺👍

[@aaronshall9258]

Forester Gump returns:) I get the trim color change:) looks good! Love your wiring skills:)

[@anthonyexton7243]

stick the boxes back up or turn them over to open, then other for us

[@osifielDoperAtive]

Nice comment on the Subaru CVT. It works and is reliable. 👍

[@330turbo]

I saw that tape player jamming on the ranger 😂👍

[@drgreenthumb808]

Your led headlights should do an in & out “happy dance” upon startup :) I have an ‘18 FXT touring -ah, I had to wait a few mins, I’m sure that’s associated with the turn-in movement

[@georgeray3492]

Love the Mount Washington summit sign. Your NH past is shining bright!

[@ianwollstein8974]

Inside of the Focus 😯

[@neilchirico]

Hahaha, one of your ads was for the new Ford Bronco (which you had an order for) comparing it to the Subaru Forester, which you currently own and was the subject of this video. Irony at its best!

[@glevito]

I love how your videos are uploaded only 10 minutes and already have over 1000 views. Keep up the good work!

[@markcampbell8507]

Love what you are wearing. Fav colour

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly Sarah, great attention to detail yet again.

[@killersushi99]

*Well Done! After I traded in my Forester I wonder where It went. It had a lot of STI goodies.*

[@philliphuigen1282]

Have you ever worked on an MR2? It is quite complicated. They are notorious for not getting enough air to the engine. Even just doing a Alternator or Starter change is a mission.

[@frigofflayhey5976]

Genuine parts last 25 years or more if they are official japan. Atleast thats the case with my 96 t100. Tons of original parts

[@ronaldglider]

new foam to remove the *stinky smells* - back to keeping the smoke inside!

[@johnhamlin7868]

I love how you used your new seating area as a work bench.

[@andrewwilgus336]

also the brake master cylinder from STI might have higher line pressures giving better braking and stropping, replace the rubber lines with braided flex lines gives better peddle with less flex.

[@migo5205]

Its great, that you did not sell the Forester. Gump looks awesome with the new upgrades!!! 🤩👍👍👍

[@mrwest5552]

Nice Video - 👍 i say you "ARE" a tuner because you personalize your rides and thats interesting.

When you look up passionate and dedicated in the dictionary, Sarah's picture is there. Yup, Webster gave her two entries.

[@capt_beefheart4159]

I get converting to a black interior, but if you put in leather or vinyl seats you'd better sit on a black towel in the summer so you don't burn your thighs. After all, it *is* Arid-zona.

[@Gene1969]

I love the fact that I was watching one of your old videos, Rally Cross, when you uploaded this!
