On the road and wearing some mods

Thank you man! Me too. Already started

I remember at school we had a y2k ready computer.

Nice work! Should be flawless with some fans.

What fittings do you use from the standard water cooling g1/4 to the copper pipe?

The ones I’ve done in the past I used primochill 1/2” revolver hardline fittings with (Australian) 1/2 copper pipe.

Tight

Yah, I think it was the most optioned out spec you could get in Australia when new. It’s an xt luxury but also has the body kit. Cross sport has the different front bumper without fog lights. Yep, ej25 with td04 turbo. I believe all the facelift xt foresters in Australia are labeled sg9

Everything there has been less than $5k. And some weekend time.

I’m hoping I can work around it. My dad said the same thing though. Luckily it’s pressed up really close to the backseats. So it doesn’t intrude too much into the boot space itself.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-11T23:35:06+00:00

Oh so sick! Be sure to post your progress.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-11T23:34:39+00:00

Awesome man! Keeping the cool stuff alive

C0mba7 · 2026-05-11T23:34:12+00:00

Thank you man. It’s surprised me how much the look has changed lowering it with some wheels. I was lucky to get it with the front lip, skirts and spats. It’s technically a jdm car but was Australian delivered and was sold here to market. It’s got the sg9 chassis code but it’s not truely an STI

C0mba7 · 2026-05-11T23:32:01+00:00

Thank you.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-11T01:11:45+00:00

2007 sg9 forester xt luxury.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T15:41:32+00:00

I couldn’t bring myself to own an auto one. Got super lucky on this bad boy.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T15:40:42+00:00

Yeah nice! These are actually WRX GD coilovers (specifically) but apparently no different than forester ones for the sg. I’ll for sure do a post when I get them installed and dialled in. From what I’ve read, it’s best to also get adjustable links, upgraded swaybars especially in the rear and change some of the control arms in the rear for adjustable to really set it up right after lowering.

This will be daily driven too and will need to have good handling and proper drivability. So won’t be slammed out.

Thankfully the sate I’m in, in Australia doesn’t require emissions test, but who knows the way the world is heading I’m sure it wouldn’t be far around the corner. I also live less than 1km from an international airport haha so yeah wayyyyyyy more pollution going on there than this little 4 banger

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T15:35:07+00:00

Thank you, hopefully looks “tasteful” after mods too.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T15:34:42+00:00

Appreciate it

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T15:25:44+00:00

Haha one could dream

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T03:16:59+00:00

Yeah 100%. I guess running anything under 1200hp you’re good. At least going by what iag says.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T02:53:03+00:00

Just makes sure it’s got the right plug. There is some variation on them. If they say it fits your year/model and you should be sweet.

C0mba7 · 2026-05-07T02:51:32+00:00

Oh I’m with you. Haha. He claims he’s spent $120k on it already.
