So time to let the WRX go and move to something a bit bigger. I'll get some pics up once I get her home and a full run down of what's already been done.
Very Excite!!!

 

So you should be..................lookin good...enjoy!!

 

Nice well done.

 

Congratulations!


From a fellow 2004 Forester STI owner. You'll absolutely love it.

 

Everyone like an FSTI. Get some pictures up!

 

A Scooby blue van with windows? Whatever next?

 

funny Kant....

 

In practise are they actually bigger than an Impreza? They share the same wheelbase for example.

 

I haven't driven an STI but the XT i year drove a while back was much bigger and practical inside than a saloon or wagon.

 

OK. I only ask as I was parked next to and FSTi at the petrol station the other day and the wheels, rear seats and dash aligned perfectly with my wagon, so I couldn't see how the cabin space was any larger. Possibly a little wider (although more to do with the body/arch extensions than interior, as they are only 5mm wider than a saloon) but as I say, the wheelbase is exactly the same as an Impreza. Obviously the boot is larger as the exterior is a bit longer and tailgate is near 90 degrees.

 

It's got a bigger boot so I can actually get my dog in it and still rag it around. Plus I play guitar in a band and once loaded up the WRX wagon I've got is full to the brim with amps and stuff.

 

Also go to start some modding

 

I'm reporting you for ragging your dog around...

 

Only fractionally bigger as the GD Impreza chassis is the base for the SG Forester. I have had both.

 

I love the look of foresters. Something very cool about watching one swing it's fat **** out round a corner WRC style

 

Me too. Especially seeing a Fsti on the road rumble past.

There's a Forrester XT prodrive edition on auto trader at the mo that's tempting me. Must, stay, strong

 

That does look good, apart from the wheels..

 

Never knew there was a fxt prodrive even made. This is a game changer for me instead or pining over a fsti I realistically won't ever own.

Just found one up the road with full service history and everything part wise already done for 3.5k in minty mint condition.

Now the scheming begins to somehow get it without the misses chopping my hands and feet off

 

That one near Chelmsford? I've just spotted that.

 

That's the one. Looks a cracking motor for the money.


Edit. Was looking at the ad while sitting on the sofa when the misses says, oh that looks nice!

Mohahahahahahahaha.

 

Welcome to the Club

 

Pictures man come on!!!


Did you pick it up on Saturday????

 

I did get it yes and it's awesome.

The weather has been crap so I've not been able to get any, plus I need to wash the poor thing as it's now a brown/blue colour.

I'll get some up at the weekend when I can get her nice and clean again.

But Merlin24 has seen it.
It's off for a set of disks and pads all round next week, G-hooks from Godspeed. I had them on my WRX and they were fab, a few times I had to remove my face from the dash.
Then oil catch can (not sure on how to do this yet) but I'm sure I can get some help.

Drive it, if it lets go REBUILD then stupid power that I'll never use LOL

 

I picked mine up 2 weeks ago 2.5 fsti import

 

Lovely

 

Really nice. Looks a bit lower than standard?

 

Welcome to the WRB pre-facelift FSTI club.


This is mine.

 

I NEED NEW WHEELS

 

Cracking car and those are the wheels I have in mind for mine eventually

Mick

 

Hear you coming from the main road and a real minty STi you have now
