Here we are getting out of winter... So it's been AWD Turbo Subaru season for a while.

My blue Turbo forester is slammed and my summer/weekend car. My black Forester is my daily and winter beater.. The Black one is lifted about 4" currently, but I am shooting for another 2" lift plus 31" tires instead of the 27s on their currently..


Both are on stock turbos currently, but shooting for turboand intercooler upgrades soon.. Hoping for 300hp in both of them.

3 lift on the black XT Forester 3 drop on the blue XT Forester.

Ha! That's rad, on both cars.

Hitting 300 is very doable with turbo and intercooler upgrades. I had an 05 Legacy with those upgrades and supporting mods of course and had 295hp at the wheels, on a fairly conservative tune Love the Subarus, great cars.
Nice Foresters btw, always wanted one. Trying to talk the wife into one instead of an Outback.

I still need to get my S14 going again, but I've just been dumping $ into the truck lately. Once I get it all finished, I'll post up some pics.

I know.. Before these 2 foresters, I had a 04FXT with a jdm Dccd 6mt in it.. I had an aggressive tune on a VF39 and was 300+ on it..


I actually am kicking around the idea of selling the 07FXT and buying a OBXT instead.. Haha

Recently bought a 2015 Fiesta ST. Traded in my leased 2017 Civic Hatch because I realized that leases suck. Super low miles. 6,500 now. This is easily the best driving car that I've ever owned. Already did a Cobb RMM and that has significantly improved my 1-2 shift. I thought it was just sloppy because I hadn't driven a manual in ten months. Haven't really had the opportunity to thrash on it yet. I've only commuted in it with some occasional hoonage. I'll post a picture when I get on a desktop.

Those look great!

Some day when my WRX gets long in the tooth and I get a new DD, I want to lift the WRX and turn it into an off-road machine. All these street racers are taking them in the wrong direction!

There's a decent mix of slammed, stock height, and lifted WRX's/STi's around me. I'm a fan of AutoX, so a lifted STi on 18x9.5's would look like a retarded diesel truck with stretched tires. Sound about the same to with the turbo spool. lol

I also drive a 6 speed 01 Powerstroke that's lifted and on 35s.. Haha

The subarus are fun for corners and being a street racer.. But blowing smoke and being able to pull a school over is also really fun too..

I've never considered blowing smoke fun. Unless it's from the tires. Lol.
I haven't been able to justify a truck before, but being a home owner is pointing me towards the 2019 Tundra TRD Pro. Diesel is a bit over kill for hauling a couple bikes or any other toy I may buy.

It's overkill for me about 95% of the time too. But 400+ hp and God knows how much torque is fun.. It breaks the 35s loose on command. Once a month or so I haul cars or other trucks and have moved big loads on trailers occasionally..


Everything I do could be done with a gasser, but this truck was 13k with 100k miles and a 6 speed manual.. I couldn't even come close to finding a equally capable gasser for that price that I wanted..

My buddy had a 600whp 6 speed 3rd gen with a hood stack. Thing was awesome to drive when I was 17. Short shift it into 4th and it'd just barf black everywhere.

If you lead with that, that's a dam hard price to pass on for a deisel. Especially it being stick.
