    subigrl here aka ohmypearls... and finally tbris :keke:
    for those who remember or don't know... worked for SOK for a while, I've moved to Jersey and am working for another local subaru dealer while doing some other ventures on the side ;-)


    Finally joined the suby family and found my little gem I have been searching for -

    '06 forester 2.5XT limited // 5 speed w/112k (totally stock)
    this is a single female owned fozz, it was purchased and serviced at the local subaru dealer - I purchased this from another new car dealer down the street from it's origin (maryland)

    I LOVE this car as much as i thought I would...

    Plans: well the first thing off the top of my head is..
    -suspension, tires, wheels & brakes
    -intake, exhaust, bov etc
    -short shifter, boost gauge, turbo timer

    I'd like to mess around with the headlights but I'm not too familiar with replacing the head lamps (and of course tint the tails unless there are some good looking aftermarket??)

    Looking good. You sure you don't need a bigger passenger seat for that enormous bag?

    forget the turbo timer, throw an sti full suspension sway bars and all on.

    the headlights are like anything else, bumper off, bake them and pull apart.

    love to see another fozzy!

    It's not a Honduh so I doubt you have many options other modding yours,

    there isn't any aftermarlet headlights, only maybe an hid retrofit.

    the timer is unneccessary because the stock turbo's are internally cooled

    and btw my woman drives the fozzy

    breel standby for PM's in the future -

    question, for the most part, are all the SPT & STi parts interchangeable? for example...an STi steering rack? I wanted to do some upgrading... but i'm not sure what fits =/
