Wow, someone's going to get a deal on this one.

Thanks guys!

I didn't list all the repairs to stock parts because frankly, I'd have never been able to keep track.

I've been to the Subaru dealership so much everyone in the parts department...

Right you are!

You're welcome. ;-)

I did the shifter bushings with aftermarket, pivot rod...carrier plastic (whatever it's called)...everything on the shifter. It was a bitch, but well worth it. Compare the...

That was the car seat, not the wheels...the leather is a bit dry, I haven't done leatherique in almost two years. Apply oil, leave in sun, massage it with your hands and it should come out.

No CDV. It was drilled out.

Detail is complete. Not too shabby for a decade old car.

Dampening is fixed!

Sounds different, idles different, revs different.

drives SO much better. No stumbling at all through the RPM range now. Fuel corrections are a little wonky now though as...

Been fighting a stumble in the powerband for the last couple weeks, about to tear my hair out over it it's been pissing me off so bad.

Finally narrowed it down to a dampening problem. Ordered...

Backstory: Was riding the interwaves looking for an 04-08 Forester XT with a stick. Not easy to find for the right price and right condition. I checked cars.com one last time on a Saturday evening...

Hey guys, as some of you have seen, I replaced my ZHP with something that was more versatile for my needs, having a child now and spending the majority of my time in my vehicle to and from daycare...

Notes below

Those A pillars were actually repaired...or I attempted to. I reglued the felt, stretched it and let it dry before reinstalling. Was great for a couple months, then started to loosen again. Not...

Interesting, mine had one when I purchased it and it looked very basic, no flash....assumed it was part of the stock package.

Random, but didn't all the ZHP's come with a strut tower brace?

Fenders needed the slightest of rolls. I spent a lot of time researching a setup that wouldn't rub and these BARELY did. I think it has more to do with the tires because they are a slightly wider...

Sale Pending

Got the deposit, second PPI will be performed, and I'm sure it will come out great. You're getting a great car, congrats!
