The Forester Project: DD shaggin wagon

livestrong14 · Post by **livestrong14** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 1:14 am

This is the official thread for the project "Yoki Hatsu" Forester. This car was wrecked about 6 months ago, getting sandwiched between two cars. Picked up a new rear hatch, hood, f&r bumpers, headlights, tails, markers and fogs for $125. This is my car for a few months while the legacy gets a few more things done up in portland. This is a new beginning, for a forgotten family hauler. Will keep this thread updated as we progress

Mods to date:

STi Rear Swaybar
04 STi Springs
KYB-GR2's/ 02 WRX tophats front
05 WRX struts/tophats rear
Kartboy shift knob
05 WRX Wheels painted obsidian black pearl
Work Red lugs
Hankook Ventus RS-2 Rubber
Custom Amberless-Red Tails
Soon to come- Yellow Fogs

Thanks Nick (Carfreak) Corey (Grip240sx) and lil harmisson for all the help!

Pics!

I see you swapped out the suspension to lower the car, any plans on removing the subframe spacers?

05 WRX wheels look good on these cars, I put the bronze ones on my winter Forester!

And wtf is "Yoki Hatsu"?

I believe the proper term for this moment is - simply tits!

I mean no disrespect when I say this, but I can't help but hear the theme music from Fast and Furious playing in my mind

.

Simply awesome.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

"Yoki Hatsu" means new beginning. Being as this car was wrecked, I think it deserves this title

I am really considering throwing in my spare WRX harness and building a nice little EJ20T for it. We shall see!

That would be sick Devan!

BTW, the "Rising Sun" design on the hood looks cool in my book!

Thanks Jason, everyone seems to like it so far. Those who don't.... who cares haha it was fun and turned out pretty good for a rattle can with a trash can as a circle template!

dropdfocus · Post by **dropdfocus** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 7:58 pm

Seriously, that's all you did (trash can)?

That makes it even better. Total home brew design.

haha yep and a little masking tape. Whole paint job cost about $7.

you should get the turbo hood on it. they look sick

dropdfocus · Post by **dropdfocus** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 11:45 pm

FXT's are nice... Ok, anything with a turbo is nice.

livestrong14 · Post by **livestrong14** » Fri Nov 14, 2008 4:32 pm

If it does end up getting swapped it will be getting the JDM turbo hood for the TMIC
