There are a few, but technical stuff for Foresters is a bit sparse, which I guess makes sense as this is mostly an Impreza site. If you haven't already found it, there is a US Forester site (http://www.subaruforester.org/) that has a wealth of info.

Just to confirm, you do know the early SF5 based STi's (Model Years MY01/02) the STi II Type M are "similar" to the standard JDM S/Tb model with a body kit.
That is to say the standard 250BHP JDM WRX engine.

More info here and in the links in the posts...........

Not a trader lol that's itrader feedback when you sell on here :) parts are hard to come by in standard form. Plenty of aftermarket stuff though.

Car looks nice is it manual ?

just bought a vortex afterburner exhaust from a blobeye wrx which I hope fits the forester

it is automatic transmission (meaning my partner can drive it also)

been reading up on it and some say will need the flanges rotated for it to line up or somthing with the stock system.. hmm :Suspiciou

what longer hangers would you recommend?

also post some pictures of yours please :cool:

The majority of SF Foggy stuff is based on the GC Z(Classic) Impreza running gear. The manual SF STi versions are quite rare and easily more tweakable.

asht88 18 July 2016 05:08 PM

ohh she is nice and clean for sure ...

you from the north east or was that just where you picked up

what coilovers you going for?
