Subaru Forester Ultimate Customised Kit

Thank you. Now we're getting somewhere.


I almost got the Ford Accessory Racing Trim Special when I was car shopping last week.

I'd drive a Forester STI if I could afford one and it existed...



Sucks wagons are slowly dying in favor of poor handling SUVs no one actually needs. SUVs suck. T.

I don't know where you guys are at but I've literally seen at least one 2005-gen Forester XT that has been modded exactly as the pictures above (I presume apart from the engine, that one is not STI :) )
the point is, the OP is showing *exactly* what fanbois have already been doing - a lowered wagon, better wheels, window tints and stickers. And yes in fact some violet or purple colors :)

anyway I think this OP is simply "some fanboy club's" version of a Forester on display. they're at the show for fun, nothing's ever gonna be production

Yeah, I know, the xt is the turbo version which isn't identical but shares similar performance with the sti. The difference is usually the trans, suspension and body, hence build. The parts are available from international markets.

nah the XT doesn't have similar performance, they only have 200-220 hp, nowhere near the STI power. More along the lines of a WRX than a full-fledged STI.
 
I won't touch it until I'm done with the warranty period, but my generation FXT responds rather well to basic bolt on upgrades (stage 1). That torque gain would be nice when I'm passing knuckleheads for ski trips.

Turbo 2.5, no need to fully swap to get good performance.
 
It'd probably be very popular in the UK, with mixed results in the US.
 
I traded in my (fully loaded) Mazda 6 Sport Wagon for my 2018 Mustang GT. I really miss my wagon. Don't get me wrong, the GT gives me a chubby whenever I push my foot 1/4 of the way to the floor, but I don't drive it very often. My truck has become my daily. Whenever I see Subaru Outbacks, I salivate. My Wife has a Forester, but it does nothing for me. I love wagons.
