Wotcha and welcome - great looking motor

Looks like you have the loom adapters (just visible top of second picture) in place for the unit so should be an easy item to swap

What a shame - that just sucks

Can you take a photo of your existing unit in place at the moment - If its already after market you may have all the loom adapters required in place already

Do you have any error codes?

Good luck with the sale

As above depends on offset and width of wheel (not diameter)

Looking good - going to a real stealth looking motor

Wotcha and welcome - Quite a wealth of experience on here so feel free to post questions, photos etc

Hell of a change from a 1.0t corsa, no wonder you are pleased and quite rightly so

These days I could not say - prices have gone bonkers, I remember looking at an 06 STI widetrack for that money and mileage a couple of years back but there does not appear to be any reasoning behind the prices at the moment

Wotcha and welcome - Clearly you have a wealth of experience with the brand and models so feel free to get stuck in as all friendly on here

Wotcha and welcome - I looked into the RB320 years ago when a hawk saloon was on the cards, from what I remember the owners group was pretty good but tight knit as some STI's were made to look like RB320's I also know they did a run of the plaques every so often and waited until they had so many numbers before commissioning the order. Have you had any communications with owners group at all since paying your money?

Wotcha and welcome - not seen that before, so interested in the responses

Putting a sport cat is a good idea as a replacement over standard IMO. I would get a map check to be on the safe side setting up the system in relation to your engine and intake. The ECUTEK licence is linked to the ECU, the only issue you may have is if it has been locked by the tuner they will need to be contacted by your tuner

You should be fine with a 16inch wheel https://www.wheel-size.com/size/subaru/forester/2012/#trim-20d-eudm-145 215/65R16 96H 6.5Jx16 ET48 5x100 2.1 / 2.0 225/55R17 95H 7Jx17 ET48 5x100 2.2 / 2.1 225/50R18 96H 7Jx18 ET48 5x100 2.3 / 2.1 225/50R18 96V 7.5Jx18 ET48 5x100 2.3 / 2.1

Whilst you are working through have a look at this thread, one or two minor changes you could make along the way 😁😉

I used Larkspeed up Leeds way for most of it and ordered the whiteline stuff direct from their site as there was a discount code I could use at the time. Cannot rate Larkspeed service enough as the powerflex and superpro sites were not clear on the part numbers for my model, some bushes that arrived were for a BRZ. Larkspeed owned the issue spent the time on the phone with the suppliers and sourced the correct parts.

Hi it depends how you want to approach it. Option1 replace the bushes only Parts cost - New bushes only This means you have the labour to remove the arms Labour to remove and replace bushes (needs a press and possible torch to burn out the bush) Labour to replace the control arms Tracking setup Cost is less in parts but more in labour Option2 replace the control arms which include new bushes Parts cost - Control arms which include new bushes Labour to remove arms Labour to refit new arms Tracking setup Cost is more in parts but less in labour. I would look at Option2 as more garages can do this as it requires less tools so gives you variable labour rates to choose from then take it to a decent place to get your geometry setup I know this is a UK site but gives you an idea of cost for an arm https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=14424&cat=96&sub=3663&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart= Option3 source control arms with bushes and do it yourself on your driveway then take it to get a decent GEO setup

As above

Hi - they are less desirable unfortunately dependant on mileage and condition between 1800 and 4k for a mint low mileage

Torque GT have some nice kit going through their doors - been watching their site for years

@savage bulldogs has just replaced an Apexi unit so may be able to help

Wotcha and welcome - looks like someone has already put some money into your motor - any further plans?
