Well it finally arrived and im stoked to have it in the driveway ( carpark ) finally! I know its not a Nissan but its awesome nevertheless.

Its a great drive, plenty of power and torque - 6 speed manual is great. its got heaps of room and will seat 4 adults comfortably.

Power delivery is linear, you can feel the urge around 3k and it really gets busy after that up to 7k. 4pot brembos have plenty of assist, fade is negligible, great pedal feel.

It'll be on its way to Oz ( fingers crossed without a hitch ) next year so for this year im just going to enjoy it.

The Fonz can also dust many cars 3 times the price - its no slouch. It'll see 0-100 in 5 or less seconds and carry the dog and all the gear for a camping trip, too. :laugh: :laugh:

Hope you like it as much as i do!

I like its allround appeal. Its popular in Oz too afaik, so i shouldnt have too much trouble finding a home for it when the time comes.

Unfortunately for Oz, subaru decided not to bring this car in, so the only way to get your hands on one is via private import which i will be doing.

Depending on when that is and what my situation is, I'd be interested in giving it a good home.

I've been trying to work out how to afford a turbo Forester for a few months now.

Alan, the car will be in Oz around this time next year. I have to make sure it gets there safely for whoever wants to have it next.

Its not the prettiest car around i agree but from the drivers seat that doesnt matter, does it? Its a wolf in sheep's clothing...with pink stickers! ;)

We will see. Its too early to tell but the early bird gets the proverbial.

This car will be 1 of only 8 cars in the country next year - mine and another member of this board are 7 and 8.

I like those numbers. ;)

S'all good... sorry for harassing you! I just wanted pics, I thought you were holding out on us!

lol, nah, like i said, too busy driving not enough time to get things uploaded.

I went out to Super Autobacs today to buy some gear. Mindblowing places they are... So much to drool over///

I bought a stack of care produce and a couple of little Sti souvenirs... carbon fiber keyring is sik - i tried bending that little f*ker but it wont flex...damn that stuff is strong.

did you buy yourself a cat-back? Make sure a front strut brace is one of your first mods too.

Roger that. I was checking out cusco braces yesterday - around 20,000 yen>?

I wonder how much the Sti brace is...

It needs more burble Brian - Its too quiet for me and it could use more poke.

Hows yours coming along?? Youve taken delivery right?

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
