Thanks, I ask because my RB5 really needs a front mount and as I've been looking at upgrading it I wondered. It producing around 360 at the moment but I'd like to go up over 450.

Was there a particular reason you went for the Airtec?

Also one final question if you don't mind, what clutch/gearbox are you running?
Main reason I went for the airtec was I wanted to try something different this time and the fact it looked cool smile For your power goal a Hybrid GT2 fmic will do the job just fine.

I am running a hawkeye sti 6 speed box with act clutch

Hmmm, mine's a bit different to most on this thread... This is our daily - eighty brake horses, 0-60 sometimes, fitted with a custom exhaust (alright, I repaired it in my garage), Toyo Proxes on the front and budget rubbish on the back means it will go pretty much anywhere, averages at about forty to the gallon and (ignoring a slight misfire after a prolonged flood drive) in five years and twenty five thousand miles hasn't missed a beat... in the bed it's had bits of my hot rod (4.2 Jag' engine and trans), a couple of classic 'bikes, loads of logs for our burner, building kit, garden rubbish and people. Needs a bit of t.l.c. in a couple of places now tho' so may be replaced with a nice Proton!

Meant to say, it's a 1992 MV284 1800 pick up (commonly referred to as a Brat or a Brumby tho' the B.R.A.T. was a specific model)

I'm liking this a lot, the wheels are very different! cool
Yes, they are very smart. They look like one of the wheels that used to come on the X308 Jaguar XJ.

I love these and tbh it's good to see something other than overworked Imprezas in this thread.

Thanks! Having had an Sti previously its certainly a more comfortable drive and I'm finding the gearing and prodrive torque mapping make for easy and smooth application of power. Conti Sports and Eibach springs may also be a contributory factor though. The prodrive exhaust sound is nicely weighted too and does not intrude on longer runs. My daily is a forester so that does the family duties but being a hatchback it's still pretty practical when it needs to be and also does away with the image issues. Overall a great car for those who like their imprezas in sleeper mode!

I just picked up my first Forester

That looks in good order, my first Forester was that very model, built to last and marvellous in the poor weather ! Enjoy !
I'm a big fan of the Foz too. 2.0XT and 2.5XT both great cars, all started off by the s-turbo which was ahead of its time (in some ways)!
