So my son is now 18 and has grown up riding in a Subaru all his life...it was time to find one for him to use...
We picked up a 2005 PSM Forester XT last year with a blown turbo, leaky engine seals...totally stock, not even tinted...
So this is what it has transformed into...
Cobb AP V2 (with PDXtune by Jarrad)
Grimmspeed EBC
VF-39 Turbo (have a newer VF-34 we will be installing soon)
APS TMIC
APS 50/50 bov
CF STI style Hood Scoop
STI Splitter
Perrin short ram intake
Perrin Pulley Cover
Redtop battery
Equal Length Header
JIC Titanium cbe (Also have an APS 3" cbe, Blitz NurSpec Touring cbe, and a custom Apex'i N1 axleback...currently on the car)
06 STI rear swaybar/endlinks
BC Type-BR coilovers
GT Spec Front Strutbar
STI replica Rear Strutbar
Alpine deck with bluetooth
Alpine speakers all around
Defi Red Racer Boost Gauge
10" subwoofer
18x8.5 Rota Grids (+48) with 255/35/18's
Rear fenders cut
STI Front Seats
We went from stock wrx springs struts to 04 sti struts with jdm pinks/Group-N tophats, to the BC coilovers. The sti struts were definitely the best handling, but were too low and we scraped...the BC's work fine and give us the ability to change the damping so its actually comfortable as a DD...
Anyhow, the car will get a complete timing belt/pulley/waterpump replacement in a week or two...after that, it's solid...perfect for a beach day or commuter to school next year at the University of Hawaii...
