You prob will see a very slight improved MPG on a gentle run, but wont be huge so more a case of doing it for a bit more go than better economy.

the vin number will tell you.

You;d need to see/get a pic of the vin plate to get more details.

So the wife has a new papa, a 2006 forester XT, well it was an XT, nwo some of you in the know might have spotted a few things off with it, yes, they are brembo's, ues they are forester sti wheels, yes that is a 6 speed gear knob, yes that is sti seats and yes that is a toucan, can you tell where this going yet? It's had a little work, the basic spec, Forged 2.5 6 speed sti gearbox sc42 turbo syvecs s7 with toucan perrin front mount perrin oil cooler perrin AOS Perrin inlet pipe and air intake brembo sti brake conversion all round gt spec wrapped exhauste headers usual supporting mods, injectors, fuel pump etc and the worst part, she has more power than me 😞 it's 420 on high boost,,,, damit! In all seriousness it's really nice, as happy tootling around as it isgiving it large haha p.s. yes i have threatened to take a 'few bits' off it to go on mine,,, haha

it's age related

theres not alot that you can do without paying silly money im afraid as most improvements are achieve via the turbo, either increasing boost or bigger turbo etc, best bet is perhaps do a few styling mods that you could remove to go on your next one and build up your no claims. Afraid the power of the impreza engine comes from the turbo, so without it there isnt alot worth doing 😞

ah bugger, good excuse for an upgrade though 😄

Need to check the ratios are the same or it will cook the diff's, as fas fitment im not 100% sure

welcome. Looking good, is it modified at all?

puppy!!!!!! haha

no, its effectivley just a metal box.

Got a pic showing what you mean? what year is the car? is it the grill shown in this? if so its the intercooler

Whoops

Might be worth having the block closed deck converted while its apart, just depends on how much you wanna spend. i've got a forged, closed decked 2.5 in mine

imobiliser doing something funky maybe?

Welcome, yeah owners clubs are great for info, you do sometimes get dodgy info so you have to be a little carefull, but they are def a great library 🙂

Highly doubtfull i would have thought. if it was an STI possibly.

cool, glad you got it sorted

for the time they are off i wouldnt worry, unless its gonna be weeks and weeks

Alot, plus risk of them dropping, unless your going mega power not worth it. What are your long term plans? how far do you want to go power wise?

welcome 🙂

Some nice cars there

Welcome, get some pics up 🙂

By all means arrange something, alot of our members are world wide so not sure how many will be able to attend, but by all means set up something.

well come on then, what was it? lol No probs 😄 glad you got it soreted 🙂
