Ok so I have a 2005 FXT and I'm looking to mod it. I'm looking at anything such as upgrading the exhaust sound, wheels, sound system, etc. Just let me know what you recommend. If you have any pictures of any of the mods on your car, post them!

+K For helpful responses of course.

I'm loving the drop! Definitely less body roll, and improved handling.

Sorry I don't mean to threadjack but I just had a quick question. I saw a 2002 Subaru WRX for sale for a great price. the only problem is that it has 188k miles on it. How risky would you say it is to get a suby with this many miles on it?

Pretty risky, especially since the car was most likely driven hard

ya I thought so. It also appeared to have been slightly modified so I don't think it's worth the risk

Kind of a thread jack, but I feel like you guys know way more than I do regarding this. Looking to buy a Subi on a lower budget, found a 1997 Outback Legacy with 270xxx kms on it for under $2,000 Canadian. Worth it? Or is it gunna crap out on me/cost me a ton in upkeep? It doesn't look like its been driven hard or 4x4ed in ever, new timing belt, radiator,

this thread is pure comical.....kid buying car with 200,000 km just because he want sto look "cool" and drive a subaru. The pictures of kids cars in this thread are disgusting. Hideous looking cars. HAHA people actually mod a fucking forester? Its a lez mobile. NOTING will make a forester look cool. Pathetic what kids will do to attempt to make their images "better" by altering there car.

You definitely want to change it sooner than later. If id goes it could fuck your entire engine up.

It'll run you somewhere around 5-800.

Wow, haven't been on ns in awhile and this thread is still going. Sadly, more bullshit than help... But what's new. I'm on my 3rd Forester, 2 of them being XTs. 4.8 is easily attainable. Car looks good Sheldon. Keep it up. This one was just rear ended by a suburban last month.

Just the springs won't fit. You need to do the struts as well and depending on what year wrx they come from, possibly top hats as well.
