Default Hi

Hi guys and girls have been on Ozfoz for a while now and the guys over there said to have a look over here for possible ideas to mod my '06 Forester XT.
I bought this car just over 4 months ago and I'm loving it. This is my 2nd Forester, my first was a 2000 Na limited which met with an untimely end when I hit a curb hard and wrote off the rear end so I upgraded to the 06

Yes it's me Philbo

Trying to swerve around a car that was pulling out from the side road I was turning into and hit the curb.
Rear wheel was pushed back
The suspension brackets were ripped off and the chassis looked twisted and the rear door was stiff to open.
the assessor valued the damage at $6000 and the car at $5000 due to mileage 248xxx km
