All good mate, have to have a proper catch up at some point. tbh i wouldnt bother then, if your going the full hog (good choice lad lol) then review it at that point, as they will need to be sized accordingly anyway. not sure its worth even doing the 43 either as your gonna wanna go bigger if your forging etc.

Not seen inside the boot of the newer forester, but my and my folks XV/crosstrek needs a special insert to hold the full size spare which also lifts the boot floor. For £700 i'd just stick with a space saver

Personally i've never bothered with it, I tend to find all 4 tend to go at the same sort of rate, as above bad alignment would prob be a more serious consideration than which wheel.

Summer tyres tend to have a fairly high cold point, around +5 degrees they start to have issues with reduced grip due to the rubber going hard, personally i wouldn't want to be driving round in winter in the uk as even in london temps drop below +5 and since its coming from a dealer i'd be asking for a suitable all season tyre to be fitted. I don't know what the official position of insurance companies would be on it if there was an accident and the temp was below that threshold?

Short version is yes, you can go too big, is it still running the stock engine? if so then gonna be touch and go how much you can push it and still retain reliability.

What sort of power are you running? do you have any plans to increase it in the future?

tbh i think its more on the car itself, personally I'd prob lean older lower milage, but its really pot luck.

def worth finding out the condition of it to see, now adays a decent ra shell is worth rebuilding, although not cheap, so prob find someone would takje it off your hands

do you mean 95? def get some pics up though as it will help price. has it be dry stored? (in 15 years rust could have done alot of damage) What condition was it in mechanically when it was stored? was it stored in direct sunlight?
-
i cant imagine theres many at all, if you know the cost of purchase is aus, import cost and cost to register etc it here, could use that as the value in a pinch.

Yeah, they dont mess about building em haha, gets test assembled to check clearances etc about 5 times, as you can see its all measured and checked before assembly, takes mark about a week to assemble, its the identical spec as my impreza even down to the closed deck conversion. See that's where i don't have an issue,,,,,, its the wife's car hahaha

Great cars, very reliable when the extra load added to the car from the turbo isn't there, sadly the impreza gets its performance from being turbo charged so not alot of options to improve performance in any noticeable way. Best bet would be enjoy it for a bit, then if you want a step up in performance look at getting a wrx or sti
