Default its not an impreza its BETTER !!!

hiya everyone just thought i would share a few pics and info on my new forester S/TB.bought it from wrc-sales around bradford.here is the spec

1998 / R reg, metallic black
5 speed manual
46,250 miles
17" 5zegan chrome alloys
full aftermarket bodystyling
APEXI induction kit
STI exhaust system
crystal front foglamps
electric sunroof
privacy glass
A/C + climate control
STI pedals

want to get rid of the apexi stickers and just have the sti ones of maybe get rid of them all.

going to get a clifford g5 advantgaurd 5.5 fitted soon and want a nice double din cd/dvd player but they are around 300+ so going to get alarm 1st.

how easy/hard to get a lockwood dial fitted so it reads in mph but also want to remover the 112mph limiter but not convert kph into mph just a delimiter not that bothered about the clock going up in kph

like that, its different. if your gonna scrub the outside well, get in the engine bay with some degreaser and laquer. did mine just before the scoob sold and it made the engine bay look a lot better

piccies of before and after would be good to compare

i was impressed by the handling of the forester its not got massive amounts of body roll.would like to get the arb's changed and lower and see what its like then.not happy hit a big pot hole and its making my car go to the left and it caught the front lip.rang the council and they are sending me a claims form but went to prosport and they said will need to look at it probably needs 4 wheel alignment thats £90 then the body shop said £30 for the lip to be painted.anyone had the same prob with pot holes and did you claim what was the outcome.thanks john
