Forester as it should be.. ( Newbie )
Hi guys,
Im new and thought I would put up a few pictures of my SF Forester STB.. Since the repaint a few people have been really interested in the car.
It seems to be not too common to have a bad *** forester hauling ***.. So here it is..
Let me know what you think?.. I'm looking for some advice regarding a few things like Mapping options etc...
It started life as a Completely standard Import STB Manual..
I run a little Bodyshop in the Manchester Area and use this for all the hauling donky work.. Recently treated to a Respray and a few decals, to sharpen it up.
Stb Import Manual
LPG conversion OMVL DREAM XX ( spare wheel-well tank )
Bren Device
Boost Gauge
Roof Rack
Roof Cage
All Tinted Rear windows
18'' Rays wheels - Gloss Black
Legacy - 5injen Shocks and 40mm Springs
Eibach Camber bolts
Inverted Girdle Riser blocks
Bellmouth Downpipe,
2.5'' Mandrel CAT-Back
Towbar and Elec
Full Respray in Original Color, with all dings taken out. Rear badge and Wiper holes removed.
Sti Spoiler with functional 3rd Brake light
Sti Rear Lights
Sti Big Bonnet Scoop ( Carbon Fibre )
Smoke Side Repeaters
Apline Speakers throughout. Alpine CD/MP3 headunit. Sub and amp...
... Jeez, It seems quite a lot of modifications now Ive listed them out.
One of the best cars Ive ever owned. Running 1.0 bar on optimax and runs perfectly!!
Im estimating around 280/300 bhp.. ( Looking to get onto a local Dyno day if any get organised??
Plans in Near future are to lower another 1inch all round, Dyno Run and a Map..

Lol, you mean trying to show my forester?.. or buying a forester in the First place?..
Its an all-round Brilliant car. Best Ive ever owned.
Just as good as the Impreza WRX Import Wagon but with heaps more Useable space inside.. and not one 'pull over' from the police when traveling in the small hours.
Im here to not tout for work, ive enough! lol.. Ideally to jump on a Dyno day and see whats available for STB ECU's plus buy a few new bits for the car.

Nice Fozzy
John Clarkson Autos in Westhoughton near Bolton have a good 4WD rolling road and Andrew Carr is an esteemed local tuner - based in Preston www.teamcarr.net very busy though and tricky to get hold of - tuned my JDM Legacy twin scroll to 335 bhp and 332 lbft - so well pleased with that
