FULL TEST DRIVE! // My Canyon Carving STi Brembo Swapped Forester XT

[@SarahnTuned]

Hi! hope you all enjoy the video! Be sure to use this link if you are interested in Simplisafe. simplisafe.com/sarahntuned .😊

[@bongodave13]

I'm guessing the Forester owner community is loving this!

[@mostcom]

You are soon going to have trouble out doing yourself with subtle variation to your sweet, funny and honest delivery, maybe. But if that day ever comes we will love you even more. Wonder woman got nothin on you. Such a joy to watch. Gump is responding like a purebred stallion and you react like a proud owner/trainer having the time of your life. Your decision to do you boo, doing youtube was a boon for us all. See ya soon. Thanks again

Littoe big tip: NEVER get a Wi-Fi camera security system. Hecause creeps can hack that system and use your cameras. Always get a wired system. Much love. 😉

[@bige8397]

Is that a twinkle in your eyes? Happiness is contagious ;) .

[@SarahnTuned]

Mr. 2cents. I have wired cameras 😉. Wireless ones however are great for watching wild life 😬

[@craigdrennan5868]

Congrats on the sponsor. You make great videos. Love your personality.

[@brianhall23]

Your smile while driving was so worth the changes you made.

Thank You Simply Safe. Sarah: " I'm using rocks and a tape measure ". Yeah, and you still deliver GREAT content 🏁

[@gregburns9534]

Sarah, your emotional response to the results of your hard work and dedication is inspiring. You are an exceptional technician. Well done!

I like the way that your Forester's suspension set up for the curves. Look how level and stable this puppy looked as it went through the curves at 7:10.

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

I've had SimpliSafe for over two years now, couldn't be happier. Initial cost, monthly monitoring, ease of installation, and versatility are all spot on, can't beat it. There's really nothing not to like about their systems..

[@dalehenry4694]

Sarah that was the best simplisafe ad have ever see 👏🚗....

[@RFXLR]

Coool....sponsorships! The satisfaction on your face during those first turns says it all. Your research and work has paid off and Mr. Gump is a beast now! Congrats on a project well done....go Simplisafe!

[@iainmcglynn833]

Using rocks / tape measure/ stunning gorgeousness/ driving skill / mechanical genius/ ocd cleaning AND the worlds best Forrester 🙏 can’t fail

[@cnorton1us]

I think your "Rocks & Tape Measure" system is much more accurate than my usual 'Bout There "measuring". 😁 I'd say over 8 feet shorter on the stops is a very significant improvement. Your reaction to the improved steering response is kind of like mine when I switch from the winter tires back to the normal ones. "Woah, I forgot this car actually turns!"

[@philipschrantz8402]

It makes me happy to see you so happy with the results of all of your work...

[@MissingLinkMTB]

Liked your presentation of simply safe. I've heard about it from a radio station, but you showed a few cool features my wife likes. Now, like that you did the brake upgrade. Been kicking around an upgrade for my ST.

[@ericksalasjr.8552]

I love how much you take care of your car and how clean it is too. I’m super ocd and now I want a Subaru Forester or outback

[@10bjjuan]

Hi Sarah I think it is the first time that I see you braking a car with images from outside, in the other videos we see only images from inside braking a car with your reaction. Off course I’m talking about the breaking test 👍🏻✌🏻

[@michaelerickson2523]

Lived in tucson by Ina rd, seems like a lifetime ago,fabricating cars and hitting that back way out of the city. Quite the loop to Phoenix and back through the mountains, brings back memories ... The vast emptiness always made my wanderlust kick in and just drove as fast as possible running from ? I wish I could have met you, still runnig....nobody's perfect, but we could have had some fun

[@don7406]

Yup, gotta love the easy brake install. My 02 Tundra front brakes are the same. I like the home security system. Mine needs refreshing. Thanks for sharing.

[@JTMoney333]

Its honestly always great to see your genuine reactions to performance and handling!! I end up just smiling myself watching you. Btw the gump is looking better than i expected. Turned out awesome. This is the 1st simplisafe ad ive watch thru completely on your channel. I typically skip over. Another great informative vlog.

[@neoanderson7]

The Gump is pimped out! Bravo!! Gotta love upgraded brakes and sticky tires. :-) Can't wait for the next vid!

[@dns711]

Glad to see you're still modifying and enjoying Forrester Gump. My slightly modified 2016 FXT only made it about 32,000 miles before I put a hole in the engine block. I bieve that LSPi was to blame.

[@lexteakmialoki5544]

Hey Sarah, Love your content and attitude. Keep the vids coming. Can I offer a small bit of advise. I am also someone who works alone in my garage a lot, with the door closed. Make sure you keep your cell phone in arms reach. If you ever get stuck you have the option to call the neighbor to help you out of a jam.

[@lordraiden5398]

I have a 02' WRX that I am rebuilding. In the meantime I bought a 09' Forester X 5 speed for my daily. I put ISC coilovers and rear LCA's on it to lower it a little. I didn't slam it. Like you I cannot believe the difference in the handling. It is like a go-cart. Now I want to do a full STi swap. Down the rabbit hole I go.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

Rocks and a tape measure works fine. When we started street racing we spray painted the starting line in the dirt, paced off the 1/4 mile and sprayed the finish line in the dirt. Close enough for us!

[@freemanifre]

Very neat job and upgrades on the forester 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you rock

[@marcdinsmore8690]

I used to run -0.5° camber on my daily when I was young, dumb, and autoX on the weekends. Amazing the difference a little negative camber can make. And that look on your face is making me want to do it again......

[@rrudydedogg3779]

Regarding your watering eyes, people tend to select max / recycle to get the coldest air from their car's AC. Unless the unit can operate frequently by drawing in outside air mold will form in the ducts causing everything from bad odors to allergic reactions. Try selecting air from the outside for a few days and see if that helps.

[@jimkaray]

Its probably too hot in the wilds of Sarah land to want do that.

[@bongodave13]

I'm glad she's fussy, though. It's really bad for an influencer's credibility to endorse a product or service that's crap.

[@eugeneolivieri7176]

I really like this build. I have a 09 Outback sport That I am building an overland project out of. I lived in Tucson for a few years. I really enjoy your videos. 😎🤘

[@hegeliandetective1034]

Love that gap, that's how I enjoy my street car, too. I want it to be able to handle bumps without scraping. I have a Lifetime alignment at Firestone, it's saved me so much money from different wheel combinations and suspension repairs/upgrades.

[@tomdixon1213]

Sarah, your cars are so clean, you dont need to worry about torquing your wheels in white shorts and a yellow top. Also you really didnt need to use gloves in this viseo at all. The brake pads change was amazing for how clean everything down there was.

[@matthewquinn937]

really enjoyed the Forester videos. I didn't think I'd be into that but you've greatly improved the vehicle w/ your mods and it's been fun to watch.

[@eddieong6253]

Always enjoy your content! Just a little suggestion for the front wheels to be setup with abit of negative toe for better handling, as they do toe in on acceleration. Positive toe for the front is typical for a rwd. And the weight/ load of the driver does attribute to the camber setting as well since the alignment is setup in a static environment for a dynamic situation. Just my 2-bytes worth. :) again, awesome work every time 👍🏼

[@aiexmorley1407]

its been a lot of hard work but that car looks great well done

[@rivirme]

My God, that Forester is so clean. The discs and coils look great. Love your OCD.

It's fantastic to see you get so much pleasure from all the effort you put in. Very well done.

[@nestec55]

You have convinced me that the newer foresters are just as cool as the older ones. Sick wheels, sick stance, sick vid!!! do a bigger turbo?

[@jm71681]

Everyone does their brake bed-in differently, as long as it works, go with it :) At the track I go to in Maricopa, they'll occasionally send members out on their own to bed-in their brakes on the back straight, that way it's as controlled and safe as possible :)

Please dont ever change! Great stuff. Love the content.

Nice job on Gump! Can't wait to see the upgrades for Mr. Dos.

[@williambittner9591]

Hey Sarah, I just wanted to point out, that with the Brembos typically they actually perform slightly worse in a standard 60-0 braking test when compared to the basic 2 pot brake setup XT's and WRX's have; HOWEVER, the Brembos will not overheat when tracked! So please remember this if your results for the 60-0 test are not what you expected. For example I drive a 2011 wrx and my shitty stock brakes have a better 60-0 stat than a 2011 sti with Brembos. But the still can go track their car for the day and not experience any brake fade. I have tracked my car once and my brakes got COOKED quick!!!

[@thefezz4921]

time for a Manual Upgrade ! Would be a great series !

THANK YOU FOR NOT SLAMMING YOUR GUMP TO THE GROUND! - I saw a Honda Accord today, Beautiful, new 10th Gen, Sport touring, Manual...But the side skirts, rear bumper cover and front lip touched the ground (I hate air bags) - ruins vehicles...once you lower your car, it becomes UNDRIVEABLE! IT IS NOT COOL! IDK where this fad came from but it's horrid, the cambered out wheels, lowered to touch the ground. Almost as bad as the SUPER LOUD, fire spitting, popping aftermarket exhausts! - Always has to be something in car culture that completely goes against the whole point of enjoying cars for their main purpose...Driving...Thank you Sarah!
