Wagonwheels

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.

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.

3 sets so far.Original ones,UK turbo2000 Impreza ones with winters on and these.Looking for Rotas now :)

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.

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

I know it was a bit of a rash decision :( Still trying to get the Skoda to excite me (and failing) Going for a stage 2+ on it so about 285bhp and 325lbs but 30mpg all day long.

Sadly the beast has been sold :( broke my heart as I'd spent so much on her and had her looking pretty much as I wanted it . MPG in the end was too horrific when towing the caravan so was sold. Now I've gone back to Skoda with a octavia vrs petrol estate. :( needs must

Was thinking of selling up! If I do ill give you a pm to see if you want any of my selection lol

I gave in and put the spec C wheels back on recently :) Wrx wheels and the comps are a good choice

not mine :( the old girl now sold again not mine here I have loads on photobucket as i love wheels but some grey or black compamotives would be nice as above

Try new plugs gapped correctly or I'd say coil pack going .my cars the same at the moment but in my case it's probably an air leak after the MAF as mine clears up on boost .

They are 5x100 fitment JDM spec C wheels madw by BBS.I spent years looking for them as they are !Removed! rare in this country.Had them on the old bugeye too. miss the old girl as i had to be sensible (ish) with the arrival of my little one and got the hawk wagon

The "weekend gypsy " can still out drag most family cars even when towing lol

Thanks guys

5 at the moment ;)

Just joined and put an intro on the forester section Some recent pics

Hi guys,new to the forum so still finding my way around.Ive a Forester 2.5xt with a few mods.Ive had it for a year now and bought it standard .Needed something with a high tow limit for my caravan so i had to sell my hawkeye wagon to get it.It was a shock getting something so heavy and slow(in relative terms as the hawk had spent most its life at Litchfield) First week i had it i had full new STI inverted shocks fitted then got an anti lift kit,caster kit ,roll bars and chassis braces from Whiteline.Once the geometry was done it really improved things. Next up was the lack of safe brakes so a set of godspeed drilled and vented discs with WRXPRO calipers and pagid fast road rear brakes.My hawk had Porsche gt2 set up but my budget will not stretch to that anymore,besides for what its meant for its fine.Brembos will be fitted later on as the power goes up ;) My car came with 208bhp standard so that had to be seen to so a genuine VF41 turbo was fitted along with cosworth filter,prodrive pipes and a v10 sti intercooler. After a full decat and miltek exhaust it now sits at 328bhp and 378lbs and pulls strong from low down. I keep changing the wheels every few months so i wont bore you with them Anyway some pics guys
