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...........

Car looks nice is it manual ?
just bought a vortex afterburner exhaust from a blobeye wrx which I hope fits the forester

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.
