New to Subaru but... i get it.

Hi all, I've always been a vw person, mainly mk1 golfs with supercharged g40 engines, vr6 Mk2 golfs, etc and I needed a van for work and so got this Forester with intentions of putting mowers, strimmers and tools in the back but since buying it have fallen in love, I know its got an ej20 engine but the dude I got it from said it was 280 bhp but I'm not convinced, cananyone help me figure out what it is? Here are some pics. Cheers all.

Well done on ditching the vag crap and welcome to the dark side

Wotcha and welcome - some tasty vag you have had there but I think you will be going japanese for a while now - by the by with the right mods the EJ20 can generate some serious HP  ;)

Sorry about the state of this thread, I always struggle to the point of anger with this ****. Cheers for patience all

[stants]

No worries mate,

Exterior shots ? Lols like you have an import so standard power was 240 supposedly

So weather she has any mods and a map could well be more
