We need some more SJ's here!



I just got my '17 FXT a few months ago, and so far I love it. I came from a Mazdaspeed 6, but it was time to get something a little more family oriented.

I've since put the 20mm STI rear sway bar in, replaced the leaking prone hose clamps, and installed a Namless 5" muffler axle back exhaust on it. While I love the mods, I'm still left wanting a bit more from both. I plan to get the STI mid pipe, which should increase volume a tad and hopefully lower the tone some because of the larger pipe size. I am also trying to decide which mild lowering springs to get. Right now I think I'm between the Mann ones and the STI Pink ones, but they are only available directly through Japan which is a bit of a pain...

Thanks! tails are colin shread. Im lowered about an inch all around on RSR springs, i love them! I feel like its the perfect drop at least for my uses as I like to drive outdoors alot. Have coils on my WRX i did not want to go that route with the fxt.



The tent is quite large, even folded up. Definitely dont recommend driving around with it unless youre actually gonna use it !

Back on the Subi-Side. Had a 2004 STi for 5 years, had a Tacoma for years until a few months ago when I went back to Subaru with a 2015 Forester. Base model so I got work...

Smoke tail lights, Perrin front license plate relocation kit, Perrin license plate block-off, front window tint, JDM sliding arm rest, carbon badges, Hella Horns, wrapped the front grill bezel with black vinyl, aero bars, cargo roof rack, aero antenna, and Rally Armor Mud flaps. I already have a set of 18” JDM Sti Forester wheels being powder-coated black for it as we speak.

I need to pick out what kind of tires I want for those wheels.. any size suggestion? No lift but aggressive. 225/65/18?...

Also plan to wrap the center of the room gloss black as well, add navigation and a stereo (stock speakers are terrible), change to an XT front bumper, add rear wing, and some lights out front.
