Matt's 2000 Forester
Decided to finally make a journal for my Forester. I've got a 2000 silver Forester L which I picked up May 2011.
Figures a month after owning it with future plans to rebuild the motor at EFI Logics, I drive the car to MI and who remembers what happened there? Ka-boom... Time to tow the car 700 miles to CT. Only days after finally getting the motor rebuilt in August of 2011 I hopped in and moved to MI and not much else has been done to the car just yet. Modifications: Exterior: -Debadging -Thule roof rack -Hidden Hitch + Thule hitch bike rack -Stock wheels sprayed black -Rokblokz mudflaps -Approx. 8hp in stickers -Red out rear signals -Hella 500 fog lights -Sick Speed Blast Horns Interior: -Kenwood tape deck (I've had this in 5 cars) -universal all weather floor mats (also in 5 cars) -Broadway Mirror -Lucky Pinecone -JDM hazard switch -Old school, natural wood Subaru shift knob Engine: -EFI Logics stock rebuild (+ STI head gasket & oil pump) -Fujita intake -Borla Replica headers -Rally-Tech aluminum battery tie down Suspension: -Generic GC8 front strut tower bar -'06 WRX wagon springs -'05 WRX wagon struts/shocks -'06 STI strut mounts -FastWRX, 1/2" saggy butt spacers w/ extended hardware The reason my motor went.  From MI to EFI Logics.  Leaving from NY to MI.  This car is pretty versatile. ;) (I had a tarp on the car, so no over spray)

Hey, thanks fozzyWOZZY! It's pretty clean for a 2000. Most practical AND fun car I have ever owned. Going to keep this bad boy for a looooong time.
Here's "Lucky Pinecone"  My new RokBlokz Mudflaps.

 Long story short. Driving down a dirt road when suddenly someone pulls out from a side road too fast. I brake and end up sliding off the side of the road into a little ditch and hit a little tree. So now there's this, that fender is bend outward and the rest of the front end has shifted slightly toward the driver side.

Of course I didn't get their info... they watched my smack the tree and took off :/ I would have chased them if I knew for sure the car was still drivable but had to get out and check before moving the car.
Yea, I think I'm going to see about having a shop give me some kind of estimate but probably end up trying to find all new supports (rad, lights, bumper, etc) and start pulling it apart myself since it's all I can barely afford right now. And yea, luckily in the car it didn't feel like much happened. It sounded worse then it felt.

Yea, forget that. I'll do it myself.

Some unbolt and replacing but it seems I've got some bending to do for the pass. headlight area and right in front of the A/C condenser. Shouldn't be too bad I don't think.
Oh, and the A/C condenser is bent and needs to be replaced... :/

So this is a shot of the night of the accident. (pulled the grill, no damage)
 After getting it back from the shop. (bent/cut/welded)  Half way through installing the bumper assembly.  As it sits now. Just waiting for my new headlight and corner to come in.  Unfortunately I still need a new fender, but the busted one is at least secure. Just looks like crap and not lined up well. Throughout all of this I also acquired a JDM hazard switch and a strut tower bar! Pics to come. (Going to paint the strut bar first)
