Forester S Turbo - To Stance or not to Stance

[Tinners]

I'm looking forward to getting it "finished" externally, because after that I'm throwing a bigger turbo and exhaust on it. 280-300bhp would be nice.

Over the next few days I'm going to remove the tow hitch and UK bumper and maybe fit the Jap STI one for now. It doesn't have the rear spats yet, but will still look a bit cleaner.

Are those Circuit Soul decals that I spy? They used to be local until they moved shop to British Columbia. Hell I even just recently ordered their Bushmaster casing weighted shift knob.

[Tinners]

They are indeed!

So done a few thousand miles on the coilovers now. Have to say, the D2 coilovers are amazing. FAR better handling and ride than the WRX suspension set up. Looks better too.

Just won a Syms Racing bonnet scoop, so that'll be going on once it arrives.

Going in for a service, and probably getting the timing belt done as well next week.

Your forester looks pretty cool but I liked those green wheels much more

[Tinners]

Think you are the only one hah. Might be getting a set of winter wheels imported from Japanland soonish. Either Advan AVS 5s or Work CR Emotion Kais.

That sounds good, I would prefer those work wheels

idk I just got bored and photoshopped your car all slammed and shit.

[Tinners]

Hahah, thats awesome!

I'd love to have it silly low, but living in the country side that is a no sadly. Moving house soon and then I'll be winding it down, but also saving up for air...

[Tinners]

Anyone know where I could get new lips/dishes, like step up ones. (17s to 18s)? I know SSR's are welded together, but the faces are still seperate.

Fitted the STi Aerospec face lift spats to the preface lift S/tb bumper. They aren't perfect but works well enough until I can get the proper S/tb stuff.
