Who here owns a Subaru?
- Thread starter ScoobyDoo69
- Start date
Glad to hear it!
Remind me... you've only got Tein Springs at the moment right?

All it's got is Tein S Tech springs. I reckon adding some Whiteline bits and getting the geo done will help a lot no? Coilovers start getting expensive
I would say get yourself only two things for now and an alignment after fitting them of course.
Whiteline anti lift kit and whilst fitting do the "free castor mod" - Google it
- Both will increase castor which increases turn in and makes the steering a bit weightier. Whiteline roll correction kit.
Should make the car feel a lot more positive without getting into doing the roll bars / coilovers.
Thats a really nice result gurdas.
Nice torque curve aswell over 300lb till 6000rpm. Just like mine
Im due a meth remap soon, so hopefully mine will pull a few more horses lol
mmmm meth
Change down
2.5s are riddled with issues. Head gaskets, piston rings etc. Only buy if they have been rebuilt and mapped by a specialist.
Or buy a JDM hawkeye, or a 2005 ish UK STi (blobeye)

Blobeye is what I have.
Yeah JDM has twin scroll, they make for a much better drive, but lack the burble. Instead they have a scream as they approach 8krpm
Bugeye 2000-2002
Blob eye 2003-2005 (2 variants)
Hawkeye 2006-2007

There are plenty out there, just not plenty of good ones.
Nice. I do love the Forester.. with a few mods
Any pics?

I prefer the gold
Anyway some Subaru porn from my visit to Tokyo, Japan, earlier this year!

Here it is, a bit dirty but i live down dirt roads and i've got 45 mile drive to work each way down country roads.
Need to get the back windows tinted.
Hope it performs just as good as my Jeep in the New Hampshire snow this year
Really like that
Turn in.. squeal, mid corner squeal, corner exit squeal... I think your tyres are trying to tell you something!!
What tyres were they?
What tyres were they?
I'd hanker a guess that the rubber on those has been hard for a while? What tyres are you buying next?
I desperately need new track tyres. The A048s I have just do not get sticky, the rubber is solid. But I'm going to do Castle Combe this month and then look into what I plan to do with the car..
Lovely standard example there.
Now decat, remap, lower it and off you go

Does sound expensive for a 40 year old, but has he tried all the usual places like Sky insurance, Keith Michaels etc?
Top two are both good examples.
Nothing wrong with a dumpvalve, or having it blocked off either. It does NOT affect the map. Unless it's a crappy one leaking air, or you replace your crappy one which was leaking air that you had it mapped on with one that isn't leaking, there will be no issues.
Yes they make a noise, some do some crap, some do sound nice. All is does it confuse the MAF sensor between shifts. Resulting in overfueling / a dump of fuel between the shifts.
Anyone who has ever had issues with dumpvalves has bought one which is not working right.

Handling before power. Drop it!
Personally I wouldn't be happy unless it made around 380 on an 18g.
Looking great Gurdas.
That white one is Jake's. Awesome car, however the 2.5 would bug me forever...
Mine will be up for sale soon.
