Forester Owners - Sign in Here !
As a new Forester owner myself having moved over from a WRX I'd like to touch base with all the other Foresters out there. Curious to see how many there are ! Seems to be a much bigger community in the US for example..
So sign in here - Pics please and details of any mods / tips etc. What made you get a Forester, did you have a Subaru before ? So come on, show yourselves - don't be shy ;) Here's mine - MY06 2.5XT. Changed from the WRX due to new four legged addition to the family, plus the kids are growing up fast and the forester seems to have a unique blend of space, practicality and enjoyment factor :) No mods yet but planning on momo gearknob, black mesh grill, poss front spoiler, PPP or Miltek and remap.. Cheers ! Pete https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...foresterxt.jpg |
...so that'll be just me then
:( :( :( |
I'm in between Foresters at the moment but the new one is nearly here...

Modesty modesty Mr Mog sir ;)
How long now 'till the new Sti arrives now ? :) ....thought there might be a few more Forester owners about on here...suppose I will have to trundle off back to subaruforester.com :( |
I nearly, nearly went for a Forester 2.0 XT last month but was seduced by a Mica Blue Impreza WRX wagon.
Maybe next time.http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/images/icons/icon7.gif |
As you know there's a few old shape owners kicking around the europe section of www.subaruforester.com

MY01 UK Forester S-Turbo auto :o with 109k on the clock! :eek: Modifications: 17" MIM alloy wheels in graphite with Falken ZE512 225/50/17 H&S backbox with 3.5" tailpipe (both cats in place) K&N panel filter 18mm rear anti-roll bar from a classic WRX Whiteline front and rear drop links Subaru rear spoiler (similar to the S/Tb) 42mm Subaru boost gauge (black face) Cargo nets :o Planned Modifications: Light smoke tints Subaru 4-pots Tein lowering springs I had planned to fit a Knocklink, Dawes AFR gauge, Dawes Device and intercooler raisers, but I'm in two minds, as the car is my wife's "mum bus" and not really my toy! :o |
Very nice Andy - don't think I have seen your car before :)
I really like the grill - is that the subaru part ? Thinking of getting the mesh one for mine.. Also tints are definately on the list - I've seen signs for a place on the Fleet Road just along from the Shell garage by the roundabout...any idea if they are any good ? |
The grill is standard plastic one! :)
I was going to use Autoshades in Sutton, but obviously always open to a group buy if you are organising one!! ;) |

Cheers Alan What are you hoping for? |

What are you hoping for? Seriously though, the ISDC are going to Westward Engineering just outside Dublin. I reckon with my mods I would be lucky to see 240bhp but I would say nearer to 230 would be realistic. As you know its not a JDM version so I started with a lowly 177bhp.Will let you know. Alan |
