Same as standard European RHD SG Foresters 34170SA000 with damper (which if fitting a bellmouth downpipe can make contact if you don't have a good pitchstopper and engine mounts)
Funny you should mention that Don.
Group N pitchstopper fitted at the weekend.
My old one was cracked quite badly so glad its done.
Interesting. Not seen one of those before!
It's amazing how much difference a good map can make. I was astonished how much better my leggy felt after it spent a day at Zen.
What do they do? Never seen anything like it before?
From Beatrush (Laile)
In Forester equipped with high power engine, body rigidity is insufficient in hard running. Beatrush front wagon bar joins the φ 32 mm aluminum shaft along the roof and minimize the sacrificed loading amount and increase the body rigidity.
I could only get one second hand and it cost me £125.00
You can probably import one but you will need to take into account shipping and import tax. Nengun or japparts might be a good place to try.
Did you buy the XT buddy?
Sadly not. They guy selling decided to keep it as all the BMW's he looked at weren't anywhere near as good as his Forrester, well not anywhere near his budget anyway. So he's holding onto it for now.
Shame as it was a cracking motor for what he was asking, Ive asked for first refusal if he sells so we'll see long term what happens.
It's deff the car I'm going to step up to from my wagon now I know the Forrester XT prodrive exists. Not right now though I'll wait till end of year, unless that particular one comes on the market again.
I think that the FSTi looks so much better with them on, its easy to see why so many come over from Japan with them on, in fact when fitting these I could see mark on the rubber trim where they had been fitted on mine previously.
Was hoping for a little more and may well have it tweaked later on in the year.
However now looking at more handling so the list is as follows
Gear shifter/ linkage bushes - combo of Beatrush and STi group N
Diff mount bushes - Beatrush
Braided lines
Tein lowering springs
Cusco rear brace
uprated arbs front and back
