Wagonwheels Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Well I've bought another Forester .This time I've bought a sf5.Low miles (90k) and full history with 2 previous owners. Did all the belts the first week and a full service.Once I knew it was a good one I started to spend some cash on it. So far its had full decat and exhaust (had 5 so far) currently Hayward & Scott, Still intercooler,Prodrive silicone pipework,Td04 with td05 actuator,green filter,new radiator,Exedy clutch and new lightened flywheel,Gearbox and diff oils changed,sti roll bars, Wrx pro calipers and sti rears with Black diamond drilled and vented discs,new sunroof motor,BBS spec C wheels,import spoiler ,Prodrive mud flaps, debadged grill,Ecutek (Andy Forest map) running 1.3bar at about 270-280bhp.Full waxoiled with Wrx shocks ànd Prodrive springs. Still to fit a few whiteline goodies then its finished.As with all my little projects once I've finished they get sold.here she is
Wagonwheels Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Cheers guys,it is a sleeper as the Hayward&Scott exhaust is super quiet :( until on boost then it sounds like a jet hehe. Must get a decent geo set up now to let it handle as it should.
stants Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Only one the one set of rims so far with this one ? [emoji12]
Wagonwheels Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 3 sets so far.Original ones,UK turbo2000 Impreza ones with winters on and these.Looking for Rotas now :)
stants Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Hehe, may have seen the tread on UK foz although can't keep up How do you find the clearence issues on the rear struts with the 55 offset ?
Wagonwheels Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Couldn't have told you what the offset was but I had Tanabe Superstreets on and they rubbed the strut without spacers.With the Wrx shocks its fine but I run 3mm hubcentrics to make the wheels sit better in the arches.
stants Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 That's the one thing that's stopped me from swapping rims, standard are 48 where as just about every other subaru oem rim is 55 [emoji35] good to know about the spacers
Wagonwheels Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 You can fit 3mm good quality spacers without the worry about too little threads as well.5mm is open to debate and I personally would risk it being the family work horse.
