My Forester XT is finally done. Sort of.
 
It's fully assembled and running, but there's a handful of stuff still to do later. Takes nice pics though.

It needs the PS pump replaced, and I still have some nice stuff to put on it. R180, Cusco diff, rear Brembos. Also planning on STi steering rack and brake MC. That's pretty much it though.

Ok, wow.... just..... wow, I don't even...... wow... I love this
I know it's not really important but have you thought about getting a JDM grille?
Oh and did you drive by Qdoba on South Virginia on Friday night?

Kevin M 2010-08-01 08:05 PM

I thought about doing the JDM Forester Sports bumper/grille, but I'm just not able to bring myself to spend money on appearance mods. (Except stuff like wheels and brakes. That's different!) I wasn't down by Qdoba on Friday though.

JoeWRX 2010-08-01 08:24 PM

Ah ok, we saw a fozzy with some kind of exhaust go by
Still looks awesome I love me some OZs

Very nice man, what other mods do you have?

I've got an 04 XT in silver and have never seen another modded FXT locally.

Kevin M 2010-08-01 10:07 PM

I've got a mod journal started here: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulle...journal-78676/

Short version, all the STi bits I can put on a Forester, keeping the 4EAT.

I got beat in ESP at the GSR event last year by Jason Stone driving his FXT. They're around. :)

Wow man, just looked through it. You've got some very tasteful mods for sure!

You've about reached the limits on that transmission, right? Oh and how jealous I am of your 04 sti wheels that you're using as winter beaters :P

Dang. Well, I guess it's just not a car you notice as much when they're modded as others.

With mods, I just asked myself what Matt R would do. :p As for the transmission, reading on SubaruForester.org indicates that there will be issues with slippage somewhere not far above VF39 levels. Adding an oil cooler helps a lot though, so one is in the works this week hopefully.
