Hello Mate,
There are a few forester owners on here , and even more on Subaru Forester Owners Forum - Powered by vBulletin ( the europe section is at the bottom of the page ) Come & say hello :) Steve |
Your wife obviously has good taste :thumb: and as you say, they're quite rare.
I've had mine since November and still have a smile on my face (WR Blue with 330bhp) Simes |
Forester Sti
Hi I have a Forester Sti and loving it. I have had mine for a couple of months now. Just had the power pushed up to 330bhp and is like having a new car all over again. :) My brother also has one, the biggest debate we have is whether his black one is faster than my blue one (he wishes):lol1:
|
It's a well known fact that WR Blue paint is more aero dynamic and WR Blue cars are therefore faster :D
You have to post up pics though. |
Exactly my thoughts!! :thumb: black also being a dark colour will be heavier !! he is happy as his is 4.1 bhp more than mine at mo as mine is newer. I will post some pics soon.

Maybe, but the blacks have lighter panels. :D

That may be so, but my blue one is faster than the speed of light !

Dream on, the blacks one's are way cooler :cool: , anyway 4.1 hp extra is a massive advantage, and your's is carrying an extra 50kg in dirt. Hey its not my car people think looks like a taxi. :norty: Malc |

:razz: How many WRC blue taxis have you seen compared to the London BLACK cab ! AND although I carry more rubbish in mine it more than makes up its power with a better driver behind the wheel :razz:

When I bought mine from Litchfields we test drove a silver/beige/grey one. Suppose its a matter of opinion. I went there with a black one in mind but saw a blue one and prefered that. Agree about the woman driving/nice car. My teenage sons mates think I am a 'cool mum' for having one:norty:

:luxhello: :notworthy better than an impreza

I have a faster :norty: black one. STi MY06 from litchfields with performance pack (330/330).
Had it 3 weeks now and loving it, my only whines being a few rattles (think from the cobra alarm wiring around headlining) and the fact that fm expanders for Jap radios are crap :freak3: Can be pretty good on fuel with the longer 4/5/6 gearing than the Impreza and is much more subtle without the skirts/whale tale spoilers. Have only seen 1 other one in Aberdeen (WR Blue one) so very rare up here. It gets more looks from folks in the know than my old car (Impreza). It's fantastic around B-roads up here, major grunt, feels like it needs a 7th and 8th gear :cool: I love it. Avalyn. |
I have a MY07 brother has a slower black MY06 both from Litchfields. We have both changed the head units on the stereo as it was pretty awful, also have little squeeks and rattles but if you drive faster the noise soon drowns them out! :thumb: I had to 'run' mine in for a 1000 miles before I took it back up to Powerstation for its performance upgrade which was done a couple of weeks ago, now it flies ! doesnt seem to be much difference between the MY07/06 other than mine has a dodgy fog light switch ! Loving it :luvlove:

Could you import one of these yourself? Any idea how much a 2004 with low miles would cost to get here?
|
spoilers
the wifes car has the option roof spoiler .not whale. and a flat one across were the badge should be and the double armrest,didnt pick them they just came on it,but I think the spats make it look chunky
|
Not sure about doing it yourself, it had to go through loads of checks and be adapted for UK use through SVA centre, maybe chat with Mr Litchfield?

Its not that hard if you no some one who can import one for you,then the sva people do the rest apart from the model report wich you have to get and theres only 2 or 3 people with one
