So i have finally bought myself a newer car. 2007 white forester XT. non lux but still very happy with it. and boost. so much more fun.
bought it locally from a dealer completely stock as a rock.... for now...

Plans?
- Swap over parts from old foz (Interior lights, Sound System, etc)
- New diffback for some happy noise
- Lowerage (maybe coilovers, probably suspension from old foz)
- 22mm Rear sway bar + extras
- Resonatorectomy
- Bigger scoop/splitter
- Bigger TMIC
- Full exhaust (havent yet figured out what i need though)
- 4/2 pot brake upgrade or just better pads/rotors
- Tune

A picture i took from quick cruise to the beach


Thats all for now... happy boosting

Hey mate,

Should be a good base car to start modding it. Couple of people on here with that model Forry so should be a bit of info kicking around.

Welcome.

congrats on the purchase mate! looks very tidy

let the fun begin !!

[AussieTemplar]

Drop that shit like a motherfucker.

[Morgan]

Excellent choice of car! Looking forward to seeing the progress

Nice upgrade, the XT must be a whole different animal to your last Foz! Did you keep the new XT rims from your last car?

[4rstr]

yerp rims are a keeper for now, its a shame they dont fit 4 pots (but thats later on maybe). and completely different animal to drive, love it. and its not that bad on fuel so far anyway. 140km for just under 1/4 of tank so far.
and shall be dropped like said motherfucker, not sure on what though (i do have some superlows kicking around though lol)

bit of an update for those not on ozfoz.
hated the chrome strips on the grill so i painted the whole thing.

so then i lowered it.

so then i put the sh xt wheels back onto it.

excuse the crappy phone pictures, better pictures to come at some stage.

[Morgan]

Hadn't seen the wheels yet. Looks awesome!

[SAV84C]

Looks shmick!

Just a heads up though, Hope ur not looking at upgrading to 4/2 pots with those sh rims, they won't fit under them

[aekOne]

looks good mate!

Yer I know, it sucks cause they look better than the old ones. But that's how I got them (another guy didn't know that before he bought them for his foz gt.
Well might sell my old ones, then when want to upgrade, sell these ones, and by that time get some much nicer ones

3-5mm spacers i think will fix that though

[4rstr]

well i ditched the sh xt wheels as i have some 4 pots on the way (when we can get around to swapping them from a mates foz to mine and mine to his). was going to look at investing in some white wheels but have gone down a slightly different road.





17" black k-speed reverbs (i think), a te37 copy. initially looked smaller than they were but must have grown after i watered them. and for $300 all up cant complain.

[R-Y]

$300, nice... car looks good, cant wait to get mine fixed and start modding and get it out on a few cruises.. how good is boost haha....

[aekOne]

Looks good mate and for $300 they're a bargain!

[Adam]

Nice one!

Cheers guys only issue now is scrubbing as they are +40 stock is +48 offset. But only when have passengers or a load in the boot. guards already rolled and still scrubs. thinking will need either some rear camber bolts and put in some neg camber or will eventually need new struts/springs/coilovers.

Looks good!

What size tyres u running for them to scrub?

[bobbyjimmy]

They look tall - like a 45.
Just add some rear camber.
