'07 FXT owner in NorCal -- Hello

stan_t · 07-14-2008, 04:35 PM

Hello,

I'm Stan, I own a Newport Perl Blue '07 Forester XT Limited 5MT, bought new on 06/02/2007. I love the car and drive it a decent amount, it's at 24,500 miles now.

The car is currently at COBB stage 2 and lowered a bit on Swift Forester-specific springs with a Cusco 22mm RSB. I'm waiting to do the VF43/STi TMIC/exhaust manifold swap, and will also be changing out the suspension for WRX struts with koni inserts/RCE Wagon springs/24mm FSB setup. At that point, if I'm happy with the suspension I will most likely leave the car as-is for a while.

I'm a regular at subaruforester.org and am looking forward to hanging out here also. Nice to meet everyone. Here are a couple of pics:

Welcome!

It's great to see that you're doing drivers' schools.

Thank you. I've only done one track day so far so I'm a complete newb, but I will be attending more trackdays and autocross events in the future. I really enjoy driving the twisties, but taking your car to the track is definitely the way to learn it's potential.
