A few people have mentioned this. these are my "stock" winter wheels (outback stock wheels) with my winter setup. I swapped them back on for the review to make the car a bit more "regular" I realize its not as normal as many of the other reviewed cars, but at least this made it look more stock. typically I have another set of 18s with summer tires that are on the car.

Crossover vehicles are the shit I've been in AMGs and bmws audis corvettes and I still can't find a car that is more fun than this car. I don't think such a car even exists. The crossover trend isn't a pandemic it's what people want sports cars are boring dude they're uncomfortable and useless and not nearly as fun as a powerful crossover. This crossover out handled my 335i m it followed jeeps on trails was good on long trips towed 5000lbs and could hang with evos and stis. It is the best car hands down especially when it smokes mustangs and nissan 350zs bone stock. That was a big appeal about these things is that they smoked entry level sport cars.

I bought a 99 forester a few weeks ago. Dark green, 5 spd. 155k. I love it to death. Subaru 90s blue/green. Very nice brown/tan interior and designs in the fabric are a sweet 90s touch

Love the Velvet Underground references and the whispered "Is it an STi?"

I used to have a 2001 Forester. When it was fully working, it was really fun to drive. But, of course, it had plenty of problems after we bought it used. Lots of idling problems, head gaskets needed to be changed, bad O2 sensor, no working A/C, and at one point the radiator blew out while driving and exploded antifreeze everywhere under the hood leaving me stuck on the side of the road for a good 6 hours until my dad gets there and buys another radiator and swaps it out. And some of the interior features were broken. The car itself was fun to drive and felt comfortable and easy to drive. But, eventually the car was stolen by our housesitter during vacation and she totaled it going 75 mph on local traffic roads with a 35 speed limit. Hit a curb and spun out and wrecked the frame. I do kind of miss my Subaru.

The writing here is impeccable. And that last Forester 'Titanium' cover was just beautiful. ALL THE LIKES!

As owner of 3 of these that I treat like gods and spend my whole paycheck on I don’t know how to feel about this 😂 Love your videos

Holy shit, that's beautiful. And btw, this is the first time I've seen this channel, I died. :D I have an '02 Forester S with basically all the options. Preparing to do a swap myself, probably from a Wrex or a LGT, and then do a turbo upgrade and the like. Thanks for basically answering the question of whether or not I should just get a whole donor car.

The Forester may have got the ball rolling for crossovers in the US, but they actually could've been good if we'd stayed on that course. Unfortunately, that was right when Pontiac did three lines of chop and thought it'd be a good idea to make an SUV out of the Chevy Venture.

Here's why I love Subarus: Their motors are like Legos. It's literally take out the old motor and plop the new one right in. Easy as that. I helped convert my buddy's RS into an RSTI. And let me tell you: It was much easier than I expected. Gotta give it to Subaru. They knew the car community was going to do shit like this, and they prepared for it. "Hey! We know you want to put an STI motor in a Forester, so we'll just give you the biggest helping hand possible." ALL HAIL SUBARU.

These intro and outro songs are quickly becoming the main reason I watch these videos.

Lot of faces in this one, Mr. Regular... Thank you again for the delight I feel each Monday when I remember there's a new RCR!

I will always love you for mentioning The velvet underground.

The OK Cupid bit was great, these are the reasons I watch this channel. Love the random over the top analogies and comparisons.

I love RCR, but I have to say I think this review was way off the mark. While the Outback review was hysterical and perfectly on point, this one really seems to totally mis-represent the Scooby in question. I don't think you can blame the Forester for the god awful CUV's of today because the Forester is really their cure. Most CUV's come from companies that make or made big SUV's and have raided the parts bin to make pint size versions to appease the EPA whilst making soccer moms feel safe. The only SUV Subaru ever made was the Tribeca and that both came after the Forester, and was almost a seven seat crossover itself. It certainly wasn't a Suburban or a Land Cruiser by any stretch of the imagination, even if it was a decent soft-roader and had the flat six. Subaru started small and has slowly grown their cars. You got the little Justy growing into cars like the Impreza and Legacy, and the Impreza in turn birthed the Forester. It's a car that has practicality beyond a sedan or small hatchback, but drives like a car. Has the engine of a car, the AWD of its car siblings, it doesn't feel bulky or heavy or big. We at one point had an 09' turbo and while the four-speed auto wasn't brilliant, and it was thirsty and took only premium, that Forester was a lot of fun. It felt like an Impreza on truck tires, the steering was fairly sharp, the power was smooth and strong, it rocked the snow, it was hugely practical, and yet it never felt big or oversized at all. You could drive that thing in Philly and not feel like you're threading a needle, and yet you could fold the seats down and sleep in the back if you had to. Subaru got it right with the Forester because they put a utilitarian body on a car chassis and gave it the slight lift and truck tires to pull it off whilst most of the other companies have tried to make body on frame trucks out of their compact parts bin.

Over here in Aus we had a model called the forester GT which had the WRX engine (probably drive train too) in it already. Good cars.

I don't see the problem. I chose a forester, willingly. It had more boot space than a sedan, but wasn't as long as a station wagon, and wasn't as large/didn't have a huge engine like most SUV's. Quite content with the car, tbh.

Great vid as usual!! In terms of needing a different wire harness and ECU for the swap, isn't that EVERY computer controlled car? I know with Hondas the lego reference just means little modification needs to be done for physical fitment, but yeah, I think everyone is aware that you always need wire harness converters and ECUs from donner cars!! Only time I can think of when you don't is back in the hot rodding days when everything was mechanical and not ECU controlled!

Dat MCM sticker. :D

I will never get over how awesome you are Mr. Regular.

I must say that tail light trim panel really made that car look a whole lot better. There has always been something funky about the Forester design, but that piece does help along with all the other tasteful mods.

Man, you nailed it with this one. Love it!

For a fleeting second I thought you made a William Gibson reference, then I realized you were still talking about the velvet underground. I loved your Film Noir Fiero GT review. You got to do a cyberpunk theme some day.

I know BMW is bad about having so many different engines in a category. From there 4 cylinders to there straight 6s, there are so many variations. I learned this after doing some research for an engine swap for my 85' 318i. I came to the conclusion that an e30 323i would be the best option because even though it had a 6 cylinder m20b18 engine ( I think), it used the same Getrag transmission, but a different bell housing to hold the weight better.

Ken Burns as the background sound track for Round 2. I love it. Keep up the great work.

I like the little rascals song reference at the end. Good job with this review!

One of the realest channels on the tube, came for the cars, stayed for the philosophy.

I laughed so hard at the song at the end. Thanks man I needed that.

Usually I agree with most of these reviews, but I couldn't disagree more with the opening statements on this one, people don't buy Foresters for any simpler reason than it's an affordable, (around $5k in my province for an imported model) JDM powerhouse that has all the practicality of an suv, but will keep up with the majority of other tuners out there, and blow them away in the snow. All the while maintaining that classic Subaru box shape that everyone into the jdm scene appreciates.

Hats off to the Roman this week! Sounding great!

Nice Velvet Underground pull. I really like that car for exactly the same reasons you do.

Got a guy here in NW AZ getting ready to swap in an H6 from an SVX, can't wait to see how his turns out. My wife has the EJ25 in her '98 too, but hasn't had the luxury of the blown head gasket even though someone's driven the piss out of it before she got it. Instead we're dealing with the noisy piston slap they're known for and a slipping auto trans. GT Ltd is not the same as WRX or STi, though some people just want it to be so. Smh

My mom had one until 2020 when it finally blew up on the highway. Miss that old banger…

In addition, to my other comment, the engine swaps are easier than you make them out to be. The engine in my '98 Forester was from a '96 Legacy GT. That engine from the '96 LGT, was then rebuilt and transplanted into my '02 Forester. Albeit, after also swapping the heads on from the '02. ABSOLUTELY no wiring work done at all!

I fell in love with the sport outback.

My cousin did this swap in his Forester. You also need to change the front crossmember when you put a turbo motor in an NA shell. They need a little crease to fit the dump pipe... I think? That car died in a T-bone accident almost 10 years ago :-(

Amazing V.U. references. Nice!

Thanks for the early Monday morning geek-out I just had to the Velvet Underground & Nico references.

Unlike most people, I actually WANT a Forester. I need a car that can be decent off road but I don't have a lot of money so it needs good MPG. Seems like a decent compromise to me.

You can swap a 1997-99 forester 2.5dohc with a 2.2l out an Impreza and all you have to do is tee in a vacuum line. They have to have the same trans i.e auto to auto or manual to manual to have the same harness.
