yup - if I was in the market for that type of motor I would buy one

A map should get you better driveability throught the rev range due to a few more bhp and as teh engine will be properly set up for the mods done it should run more efficiently therefore getting some more MPG - costs vary per tuner etc £500 is a realistic figure. If not already (over five years) replace your fuel pump so you have a good solid flow for the map, may be up the capacity / flow rate capability a little from standard, consider some new plugs and maybe run some injector cleaner through your system a couple of times before the map session.

really surprised this has not been snapped up - if it was an auto I would be pushing it towards the father in law

What are you after?? Good luck with the sale

ooooo the anticipation

Now there is a job creation initiative if ever I saw one

That has never been popular though I know people in the logistics sector who complained of overtaking issues (picture two elephants) and a lot of the restrictions impacting power which made pulling out from junctions a major issue - dont know if that is so much of an issue with modern trucks - didn't that come about though again through accidents with lorries plowing into cars and failures of trucks and trailers at speed causing issues - so potentially again it is legislation impacting speed trying to address not paying attention and the roadworthyness of vehicles and more so trailers?

Must admit though having experienced the Autobahn in Germany I like that approach but lane discipline and your outside lane hoggers would have to be addressed

Would they? If they raised the limit to that degree, why not keep the court parameters and have them strictly enforced?

You're not funny young man - and dont think I haven't noticed your change in profile tag

Just because that is the limit doesn't mean you have to drive at it, think you will always get the 'sense of entitlement' lot who block the overtaking lane or sit on your bumper. A lot of comments I have seen so far all point to the 70mph limit being used as legislation to restrict people who cannot drive that fast safely any way. Issue is you cannot legislate for individuals inability to drive safely at speed or behaviour once they are behind the wheel - threat of multiple points large fines and bans does not work as well as they would like (but does swell the Govt coffers), many still continue to drive whilst banned or over the legal drink / influence limits.

Hastings were good for us until I wanted to put wheel spacers on - so if you have a near standard car worth a shot

This popped up on the book of faces, obviously sign up if you agree - other speed limits and petitions are available https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171341

Wotcha and welcome - Justys are great little motors - would like to own a Brat / Brumby one day, it wont remain standard though

Hey you can still drift 'em - just not as fast or dramatic as you boosted lot - a little more demure

Plenty will cover you but maybe not at a cost you would be willing to pay - try SKY had dealings with them recently and they came back pretty reasonable but it will be a case of putting the telephone time in and ringing around

Wotcha and welcome - all friendly on here so feel free to get stuck in and we do like a photo so keep a camera handy

Yup this is true and he does know a thing or two about Fozzys (and other stuff)

Nothing wrong with an NA - needs must and all that

looking good

Based on some of the discussions that have been had on the forum before you can get the same power from both engines however it is the delivery that is different the 2.5 lump will get you more drive lower down in the rev range The STI has an improve basic spec all around to start with, brakes chassis, suspension as well as engine so you will not necessarily need to make any modifications..... however, they are addictive

Yup prefer the indicators in the mirrors instead of the wings. Looking at the STI vs A Line comparisons there must be some significant potential unrealised with dual twinscroll turbos hooked up to 2.5l and putting out circa 300bhp. Might stick the flappy paddle kit on my RX auto and start telling everyone its an A line

They should be easier to source

Fair enough Just found this on Parkers for the XT, dont know how it compares to your wagon, I believe it has a turbo so you will be able to do some minor tweaks and get a little more power - high flow panel filter, freer flowing exhaust possible fuel pump (if it is over 5 years good idea to replace it anyway) then a map Engine Size 1998cc Cylinders 4 Valves 16 Weight 1624kg Power 237 bhp Top Speed 137 mph 0-60 mph 7.3 secs Torque 350 Nm, 258 ft-lb

For all the practical aspects and the power consider these? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/forester/2006-subaru-forester-2-5-sti--low-mileage--ecutek--milltek/6864068 http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/forester/subaru-2005/6852293 http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/forester/as-new-forester-sti-direct-import-from-japan-please-see-our-website-for-70-plus-pics/5665030
