I assume the sti is a bit more stable in the corners than a gen 1 turbo s?

These are totally different cars. FSTI is a comprehensively reworked fozzy, def check out the fifth gear episode it appeared in. The S Turbo was merely tinkered with over standard n/a versions.

How new can you get Forester STIs?

Newer in Japan than here. Id speak to someone like Iain Litchfield, but since the exchange rate collapsed JDM vehcile have virtually doubled in price at source.

I too need my OE 18's refurbed and by the looks of them its not the second time either



They looked acceptable when I purchased in March but the last owner must have touched them up with acrylics

Trouble is, even though I have a Legacy Spec B and some 17 FXT alloys neither will clear the Brembos so I cant get them off and refurbished

I've nearly bought one of these on three separate occasions. Fuel economy is my issue - what do you fellas get in mixed driving? On a long run?

[MikeyLCR]

I get 20-22 normally, I drove to Newcastle last year with my sick uncle in the car so took it super steady, got 300 out of a tank but that was an exception. Normally 25'ish on a long run.

[macky17]

Hmmm... a little juicy for a daily. I get that out of my Tuscan S

[macky17]

Does everyone here confirm the 20-22 mpg? I've had another owner tell me 25-30 which would be ok.

Also, as most of you seem to have purchased your Foresters recently, would you mind PMing a rough idea of what you paid? Don't mean to pry, just want to get an idea of how much I should throw at this. Thanks fellas.

Hi Macky, details of mine are in the garage section of my profile, just re-visited that as I did log the consumption for a while and was actually getting just over 23, also it's the 330 brake one so probably a bit thirstier than the standard?
