Ryan Green 2010 Forester XT
#1
My name's Ryan Green and I've been meaning to make this post for about 3 months now. I'm a senior chemistry major graduating in May. I finally joined MM last semester after a guy freshman year talked to me in a parking lot after seeing my car and telling me to join.
I got my forester about a year and a half ago and it doesn't look like the same car anymore. I wanted something faster and sportier and my parents wanted me in something bigger than my corolla.

I've done a few mods to it so far: XXR 527 rims, BC racing coilovers, nameless muffler delete, some cosmetic stuff like the grill and mud flaps, and a pioneer head unit. Once the warranty runs out I'm considering getting an access port, louder exhaust, and a few other things once I have money.
Taken it to one autocross and refrigerator bowl so far since I lowered it and it does ok, its just a bit top heavy and unfortunately its an automatic but its still a lot of fun.
Managed to blow my turbo on the first cruise I went on with MM, but fortunately got fixed under warranty and no problems since.

Thanks, right now my plan is pharmacy school at VCU, Campbell, or Shennandoah. I may stay in Harrisonburg this summer until my lease runs out if I can find a job
