Does anyone have one of these? Just looking for feedback...

Got a WRX300 but was considering something different, maybe Spec C or a Forrester STI.

On Iains web site it quotes 280bhp for standard remap, but in the review it is higher 300+

Does standard remap mean the remap you get as supplied from Litchfield for UK fuel, or an additional remap after the remap!

Havent really seen any decent photos, the ones on DHCARS seem to show it in a better light...

Cheers,

Mark

 

Look in the members gallery - Mog has just taken delivery of a new 06 FSti

As far as I know you get a standard remap for UK fuel as part of the deal - good for 300+
Get a Miltek though and you're looking at 330'ish

 

Nice, I'd like to see one that's ride hasnt been pimped though..

Maybe without the aero?

 

without the aero pack...

 

Thats sooo much better, wouldnt have to pretend I'm a footballer with a Rangey Sport clone.....

 

or get a FXT like mine and mod it to hell

 

Some pics of mine here:

That's the pre-facelift shape, but internals are pretty much the same.

Pros:
Doesn't attract unwanted attention
Fast, and easy to drive fast
Fun, and easy to drive fast
Practical, can get bikes in the back

Cons:
Ugly
Can drive it too fast too easily
...er... mine isn't black like Mog's.

 

that looks ace ricardo

p.s. whats happened to your site?

www.subaruforester.com

 

Apparently the hosts didnt renew their domain name or something teckie like that

Sti is


but Stb is

 

The site is run by enthusiasts in the US, and is non-commercial (otherwise Subaru would be after them, like they did for a few other sites with Subaru trademarks in their names). Being non-commercial, it was hosted by a fairly low-cost service hosting company. You get what you pay for - the hosting company let their domain expire, and somebody else grabbed it. I wouldn't stick around the placeholder site for long if you haven't got up-to-date malware detection running !

The sf.com site is fine, just needs a new host, but as always it isn't for free !

In the meantime the Forester section on NASIOC is unusually active...

 

By the way Marky, the 'standard' remap is simply for UK fuel, and keeps the original exhaust system. Optionally there is the Milltek exhaust system, which replaces the system from the turbo back, using a sports cat. Mapping for that gives 330/330 (slightly variable car-to-car), so that map and the exhaust are the 'performance' package. The car reviewed in Evo is Mrs. Mog's car (the blue one, now replaced by the black facelift one).

Best if you talk to Iain about the options, Litchfield Imports are on 01684 850999.

And finally.... Forester only has 2 'r's, is it this you are actually after ?

 

 

Is anyone going to set up another site and have all the posts made on subaruforeser.com been lost?

 

Work is in progress in setting up a new site, but it looks like it will be a temporary one until the 'real' site is back on an even keel. Then I think they envisage the new site being a kind of backup of the normal one.

This NASIOC thread has the details - the last post on page 12 is the beginning of the discussion about the recovery efort. Some generous people have provided hosting and a lot of support to get things going again.

Thanks for the reply and the link.

 

Ahhh, thanks for that! Yes, have to speak to Iain....but I would obviously go for the performance option!

As for Forrester, back in the day I did find Miss Forrester quite fetching.....thinking mans crumpet I think is the phrase....

 

Will have some forums up online soon chaps.

Just waiting for the paint to dry on the new front door..

Steve

 

Well done chaps

 

I see there is one on Autotrader 04 STI Blue 22k....is this ex-Mrs Mog?

 

I thought that had sold. Does it have leather seats?

There's one on Litchfields website for a little more. I'd be tempted but i don't like them in blue.

 

Have you got a link to it and I will tell you...............

Its deffo not our old one, but it does look like the one Iain has or had for sale on his web site as the STi badging has been removed off the fog lamp covers.

slightly modded forester sti

 

For gods sake delete that so Mrs mog doesn't see that...

 

Too late - seen it now.... Where can I find the order form? LOL

Guess the kids and the dog would have to sit in the back and freeze tho'.

Mrs Mog XXX

 

hmm, it's a 2+2 which means there is room for 1 kid and a dog behind the driver seat

Pitty you cant buy one though

 

Mog...

Are there any issues with suspension, with it being a JDM model...if you know what I mean? I know its not exactly a spec C but I am just wondering...

Mark

 

What kind of performance do you get from a Forrester STI?

 

260BHp@5600 rpm (Litchfield Standard Remap 280bhp)
275lb/ft@3600 RPM (Litchfield Standard Remap 300lbft)

With a new exhaust and a further remap better than an Impreza STi (in a straight line)....
