Nice FXT! I have a lifted '07 automatic that I just bought and rebuilt (had ringland failure) a few months ago with some of the same bolt-ons and other parts you have, along with some future parts that match yours too (VF48 and IAG AOS). I also have an '05 5spd FXT that I'm rebuilding (catastrophic engine failure / block destroyed), but it will remain stock other than the STI shortblock and catless DP (and I think Magnaflow catback).
I got the dead-pedal aluminum replacement and the 3 pedal covers for my '05 but haven't installed the pedal covers yet. The dead-pedal one doesn't say it fits Subarus on the eBay ad but it is definitely a direct knock-off. I installed it already. I'm not doing much to the '05 since I'm selling it to my father-in-law. I have a 2011 STI so I don't need a 5spd FXT really. When I run to get groceries, it's pretty chill driving around traffic in a the automatic '07 FXT and save the wear-n-tear on my low-mileage STI :)
You should definitely invest on a IAG built block for that forester. I have a IAG stage 2 block in my 04 XT and it makes almost the same power on pump gas that yours does on E85 with the same VF48 turbo and 93 OCT.
Curious how much these go for in the states. I have an imported 5 speed one in Canada with an ej205 (230hp or so from the factory). Nothing crazy just a daily driver for me. Imported mine for $7k with 100k km's/60k miles. IM sure they will skyrocket once US legal like all the other imports I've owned though.
Really like your FXT, especially the fog light covers. I'm hoping when I'm done rebuilding my engine bay it looks a lot like yours!

Man, very nice build! I’m curious, does the jdm black bezel climate knobs need any modifications to work with usdm forester or is it plug n play?
They just plug right in!

I have an 05 with a 5 speed that i bought about a year ago. Paid 7.5, 160k mi it is the ej255 which is what most of the XT’s come with
I have ej205 in mine too!
@@elusive-exp jdm ej205 is a lil different then usdm. Anyhow I sold the foz and have a MY95 gc8 WRX sti type RA now (my dream car).
Hey man, Love the foz, ive got a 2006 forester xt with a foz sti 6 speed. what radio model have you got??
They look better with "body color" hood scoops.
Hey, do you still have this front bumper? Willing to sell?
