Please help me turn my forester into a weapon

Post by juleslee » Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:07 pm

Hey all, I am requiring some info on lifting my
forester. It's an 06 xt turbo what should I do? Is there any
one in Melbourne that can help me, if not any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also interested in bullbar sump guard etc.

Any vehicle is potentially a weapon, and a lethal one at that - Mum always told me this when I was on my L's (now I'm in an L - that's kinda funny). Looking at the road toll she's right.

But on topic about the type of weapon you want to be - I'm guessing an offroad weapon - there are many things you can do and ways you can go about it. It also depends on wether you're willing to do the work yourself or if you'll be using your $$$'s and have easy access to the cash flow...

Do a search for SKT - he has an awesome forester! That's what I'd want mine to be if I ever got one...

Cheers
