Ouch...

Thats weak sauce...

There are other local proxy server options, not sure if they would work though.


Why are you so locked down?


P.S. Nice car Erin. :)

[kev]

Yay, I can see pics from home.

My internet is locked down, because the year is 1984 and I work for Big Brother.

[wgnths]

heres a forester on sti struts/springs. too low or no?

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/sonnysingh/Winter%202006/DSCN1725.jpg

[moxie]

Too hot...

You are giving up a lot of stroke though...
I wonder how it would ride?

[wgnths]

like an sti? sorta. thats with sti struts, i wouldnt put springs on the forester struts. and i'd do pink springs i think.

[F-This]

Yay another truck type thing :lol:


Nice ride, me likey

[moxie]

Ah, sorry didnt know it would be shocks too...

Looks good, I think it would be nice, it wont scrape anywhere will it?

[Max Power]

Not too low at all... needs wheels though... and are the mudflaps "permanently" secured? If not, I'd take those off too prolly... and a grille :)

[pickinicholas]

"They call me George Foreman 'cause I'm sellin' er'body GRILLS!"

LMAO

[wgnths]

yeah needs grille, stock lil baby fogs are ghey and wheels. and accesport.

[Wagoman]

So is the xb gone?

[wgnths]

yep :( i miss the little bugger too. but this is a much nicer car to spend a few hours, each day in. I still have a few xb things for sale.

[wgnths]

latest mod.......almost dont want to lower it. just kidding!

[crzyjulius]

[wgnths]

yeah, but i cant reach the roof to wash it! :lol:

[pickinicholas]

yeah, but i cant reach the roof to wash it! :lol:

One day you will grow into a big boy and be able to... maybe not... lower that biatch! :)

[VSB XT]

Erin, I think Suby gal or Kastle's Korner is offering Forester STI springs where it won't be too low w/ some good ground clearance but certainly a noticeable feel in handling.

[wgnths]

No plans to do much else. Need to do something about the ridiculous taillights, add a rear sway bar and maybe the oem rear spoiler.

[crzyjulius]

Do a tail light mod!! I'll paint the chrome area black or what ever color your beast is to match it better for you?? Cheap and easy fix?? That's what I would do!

[J0oftheworld]

Daayum playArr!!
New wifie rolling in style.. A++

[Ruiner77]

very very nice Erin.... super clean!

[skilit]

looks good! You could just tint the top of the taillights to match the window tint/wheel color

[wgnths]

yeah probably going to either tint them or get rockblocker to cover them in all red. i don't want to do anything permananent (like painting) because it's a lease. or maybe pick up the jdm tails which are dark and switch back when we turn her in.

[Malogus]

Those look pretty sweet.

[Max Power]

Downpipe + tune + vf34 + rebuilt zero2E's + front bumper + taillights = awesome. :)

Looking good

[wgnths]

no!!!!!!!!!

[crzyjulius]

Alberto don't give him ideas I want his zero2e's!!

[Max Power]

Downpipe + tune + vf34 + rebuilt zero2E's + front bumper + taillights = awesome. :)

*Cough* hint *Cough*

[wgnths]

Nnnnnoooooooo.
