So many people on the Forester board are driving cars say older than 2008. Many have problems keeping them on the road. And yet there are many that are modding their ride. Usually they are people who are hard put to even pay for their car, gas, let alone other of life's expenses.
I often look at individual situations and "think" dude..do you have a clu? Foresters are great vehicles, but they are very complicated and repairs are expensive. Added to that they require a TB changeout at 107K miles. And really what needs changed is also 3 /4 idlers tensioner, and a water pump. Older subarus are 50% likely to need a 2,000 head gasket.
For many that choose to mod instead of doing needed repairs are many times dealt a harsh life lesson.
