Sucks dude. My dad had an 07' Forrester, he hated it, but when I drove it, I had some fun with it.

Yeah I love it and would get another, Im just having a little hiccup with it at the moment which is to be expected as with all cars. Ive been tight on money lately too so the mods for this have been put on hold. I need new struts but Im trying to just wait it out for coilovers, thats like the only thing I really want done soon.

I figured out my issue which seemed to be just a dirty throttle body which makes sense. My check engine light is still a mystery, I am hearing that the fuel neck having tiny holes is pretty common issue so thats where Im going to check next because a smoke test did nothing to help. As of right now its still just normal maintence so Im doing the pads/rotors and rear drums. Looking to hopefully pick up some average used coilovers soon too.

CEL is fixed now too, just a hose need to be replaced. Now the saving for wheels and coils begins.

Since wrx struts fit on these wouldn't wrx coils work as well?

Shipman · 08-30-2013, 09:28 PM

Yeah I believe so, I have come across a couple but havent picked anything up yet.

Shipman · 10-30-2013, 02:44 AM

Looks awesome. I love that model of fozzy.

When it gets warmer, we should meet up for a ride/photoshoot down ghost road. Really wanna go back there.

Looking into getting a roof basket, front lip and wheels by spring. Also considering getting a 40% tint all the way around. Once I get different mudflaps for the STi, Im going to put the large ones on this after I remove the small oem ones they have already.
