So I've been on here for almost a year now, never made one of these and definitely should have. I used the rainy day today to track down dates and info on all the things I've bought/done to the car and decided to start one of these. More to come.
Bought the car May 14th, 2011. 2002 Forester L AT with 44k for $8800, and it was soooo clean. Came to about 11k with everything else and a 50k mile warranty. Loved it, I remember there was a problem with the hood latch when I first got it and the plastic panel on the driver door was popped out, the dealership fixed both things the next day.
I'll start with the small things I don't have logged anywhere. Lamin-X yellow vinyl for the fogs, mud flaps, painted stock grille black and grabbed a new subaru badge off an old legacy at the junkyard. Tint sometime early this year, Subaru all weather floor mats, LED interior lights(domes/reading lights), SF.org red N/A vinyl badge, debadged L/AWD and both FORESTER badges on the side, DIY PVC 3" cold air, toggle switch to run parking lights and fogs without headlights, etc etc
Both head gaskets done March 2012 @ 72,593 miles
02 WRX wagon takeoffs bought w/45k 8-21-11
02 WRX SPT front lowering springs bought new 9-2-11
215/45 Continental Extreme Contact DWS Tires @ 85,5xx miles
Ride height was pretty even and suspension is the same right now. Plan on doing coils, still debating on which route to take.
Sport Edition CD 17x7.5 +48 w/ Michelin Primacy Alpin 225-55/17 w/3.5k miles put on 9-5-11.
Bought a BNIB US spoiler November last year but got around to installing it maybe two months ago.
Hella Supertones February 2012.
JDM Grille & Clear Corners June 2012.
The above picture is the most up to date picture I have, I have a bunch but don't want to flood the first post. I'll make sure to log everything from here on out with pictures.
My plan from here is to go lower and wider. Not going to bother swapping the auto to manual so no performance mods. So basically, coils, wheels, sway & tower bars.
