Forester STI

Strangely I like these but not sure why lol, does it feel top heavy compared with an impreza?

Your carbon console looks mega!

I did a (very) brief search for Robson and it seems they only operate out of Japan, where did you get yours from? Are there any distributors in the UK?

Easy just to get the plastic parts dipped.

Been a while. Not used the car much at all this year. Few coats of wax and it's under its cover now in the garage. Might get a few rides out before the end of the year. Need to spend a day to sort all the old Photobucket pics out. Will try a tiny pic now -

Couple more jobs this afternoon to finish off. Wheels polished up and sealed with Poorboys Wheel Sealant, engine coated and wiped over with 303 Aerospace Protectant -

Lovely cars are the FSTI's, 265ps from the factory and designed as a nice comfy cruiser.

Not as nice to drive as say a B4 GTB or a Twin Scroll WRX STI which have more low down grunt but they were not made for that.

Biggest issue is the EJ257, its one unreliable engine, keep any tuning to a minimum, ensure you run it on the best fuel you can and service regulary.

I thought I'd read somewhere these had the EJ255? I may be wrong, I don't know

This is stunning, I really really like them as a left field choice for someone wanting to tick the family car box and performance car box - is it still looking the same and seeing much use??

Very little use. About 50 extra miles since the last pictures above. MOT next week. Think it's done less than 400 miles the past 12 months. Will be up for sale once the MOT is done. Got my eye on a classic Impreza STi and got something else taking space up at the moment in the garage so something needs to move

Well it looks like today might be the last day with the Forester. Another PH'er is on his way up for it now If it goes, it will be making way for another JDM car.

Shame to see it go, hope the PHer keep it looking great - look forward to a readers car thread on the replacement!

V2 STi hopefully. New owner just driven off.

Sounds nice, how come you have decided to change it up? Forester was the nicest I had seen.

Just ready for a change. Had it for nearly 3 years but only done 1500 miles. Classic STi wagon next i think.
