Takk skal du ha sir. Im running it on a 50/50 mix of E85 bioethanol and 99 octane so the emission wil be ok..I hope tax?.....What tax..If I payed that tax I couldn't afford the car.lol..it would be like £30k in tax.

But next year the car has been in the country for 10 years and there will not be any tax to pay.I just have to get it thru MOT and get the mods aproved.

The JDM Forester STI came with a 2.5L right?

if it did I can get the mods thru the needle eye of the Norwegian MOT.

I'm not compleatly "in" with Subaru yet..I know the Evo in and out tho.

So if I ask some silly question don't decapitate me ok.

Cheers.

Good luck with that and dont get caught for speeding!! I was working up in Ålesund and the fastest part of road is 80km/hr for about 100metres. It was hard to get my STi into 6th on the other roads with a limit of 70km/hr so had to find a better speed just under the one you lose your licence at
