I put a Pro Drive back box that was off a wrx onto my XT and it bolted up no problems. The only thing you need to worry about is the 3 hangers. The 2 that hold the box under the bumper need to be a fair bit longer than the stock ones, otherwise you'll wind up melting your bumper. The 3rd hanger further down towards the flange wont line up at all with the car. I wound up getting a one of these from halfords - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Halfords-HEX404-Universal-Exhaust-Strap-Rubber-Black-11-5-292mm-Long-Spare/321680633007?_trksid=p2141725.c100338.m3726&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150313114020%26meid%3Dbfffad41324b4a148a2e878e615b0606%26pid%3D100338%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D17%26sd%3D321680632982 Which i cut in half, drilled out the holes and used them as my new rear hangers. Then for the 3rd hanger i just used some metal cable ties between the cars original hanger and the one on the backbox, this was just to brace it so it doesn't sway left and right. I've been swearing that I'll go back and tidy up the cable ties and make some proper hangers but it's been working fine so far and I'm lazy :P Should only be an afternoon job as long you get a friend to help with positioning the new back box and make sure you have something to heat the bolts when removing the old back box because we spent over an hour on 1 bolt until we heated it for 30 seconds and it came straight off. Also don't forget to get yourself a new gasket - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-Exhaust-Decat-Pipe-Flange-Gasket-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Legacy-Outback-/220720290256?hash=item3363f459d0 Jelly

Hi guys I recently had to replace my entire sunroof mech as some of the plastic guides in the runners had broken off and i couldnt see a way to repair them. This means ive got an entire spare unit with glass (cracked but water tight) and a working motor. Ive seen a few posts from people with damaged weather seals and motors so i thought id see if anyone wanted any of it before i chucked it. I'll keep the whole thing for a few days but ill put it out for the scrap men at the end of the week if i dont hear anything (i'll probably grab the motor off it first though) I'll probably let any of it go for free if you pick it up so let me know soon as.

Oh cool Tomo, did you just have the backbox off Reece then?

I'm trying to smarten up my foz's interior a bit so im after some nice front seats out of a wrx/sti. Most years will bolt in so i'll look at anything as long as its in decent condition. So if anyone has upgraded their seats and still has the old ones taking up space in the garage give me a shout. Thanks Jelly

Hi Mate is this still available? I'm mainly after the centre section and maybe the downpipe, if tomobwfc is still after just the backbox you might be able to shift the lot between us :) Let me know if you can split it and how much you want, also what part of london are in? Thanks

I checked the clearance when i put them on and haven't heard anything since so it looks fine. I might change the springs to drop it about an inch and level it out a bit more, back is looking a bit lower than the front, but i dont plan on going any lower than that :)

Wow Boofle those are perfect, what tyres are on them and whats the tread like, can you pm your address so i can see how far away you are. Cheers
-
Thanks for the reply Alex but sorry i dont think those do it for me. Hudson those look great and are the style ive been looking for, ive mainly been looking for black wheels but im now wondering how those golds will look on my red forester.... hmmm Have a think about how much you would want for the 5 and let me know.

Hey These 16" are what i have at the moment. I was planning on keeping them as winters/spares but id probably be up for a trade.

Hi I'm after some new wheels for my Forester. I'm not sure exactly what i want yet so if you have a set in good condition then shoot me a picture. Cheers
