[s-cars] NAC Jacking a Scoobie-doo

[LL - NY]

Fortunately, the Forrester is based upon the Impreza, which has roots
in the Rally STi's.

So, the rear diff definitely is a jacking point.

The front subframe should be, if it's the same as an Imprezas (trying to
recall the exact location) pretty much right behind the oil pan there is
a flat location that is a jacking pad.

Sorry I don't have any pics, and I really don't think I can shoot any
right now, there's about 6" of snow on the ground, and they're
expecting 4" more.
