Nice one, should be loads of fun, and surprise a few people :D

It does beg the qustion though, why didn't you just get a Forrester STI in the first place?

Unfortunately I couldn't quite stretch to a brand new 06 shape one (around 30k) otherwise I would have definately had one.

Mine will probably have cost me around 25k with all the upgrades plus I get to feed the modding bug ;)

Something tells me if I had got the Sti I would still have spent money modding it :D

Ahh fairy nuff.

And yes, like me you are another modding addict :D
 
Underrated cars if you ask me. Lots of people associate Subaru with the Imprezza and forget the fact that the Legacy and Forester exist. I was tempted by a Legacy B4 RSK a little while back.

Yep - the Legacy is even more stealthy than the Foz :cool:

Tomorrow's the day ! Not felt like this since xmas eve 35 years ago :o

...how old ! :eek: ;) :D

Lol, just don't check your bank balance after!

Have a good un tomoz, is it all been fitted during the day ready for a test flight in the evening? :p
 
Can never get my head round the styling personally :( Can't complain about the egine though :cool:

Funny you should mention the Legacy, I saw a new one the other day and it look gorgeous. Has it got the same engine / setup as it's bigger / uglier brothers? :D
 
The Spec B is a 3.0, flat 6 boxer engine I believe, has AWD as well though..

don't mention money as I can't hear you..

Just got back ! Didn't get on the rollers in the end until 6.30 - also had problems fitting the FSti intercooler that was due to go on so ended up having to have it mapped with the oem FXT one :(

Still - made 313bhp / 300 torque on the rollers and the journey home was a hoot ! Pulls like a train from 3000 and the sound is fantastic :D

Need to get the Intercooler changed and may get it remapped later to get a few more top end ;)
