Very poor performance in damp conditions - Noob help
No worries, basically ome equates yo how it came from the factory. Did it come with 16" or 17" rims as standard Do you have a sticker like this inside drivers door ? Tells you what size rims with which combination of tyres you can put on the car. Have a peek and see what it references with what you've got on

Need advice on my Subaru Forester
Hi welcome, I'm guessing the you'd need the denso Injector kit, don't hold me to this as I can't find much infor for the sg forester. It does say on the site if you check the unknown column they'll send you the correct adaptors. Maybe contact your local dealer, see if they can help ?

Very poor performance in damp conditions - Noob help
Do you know what was the oem rim size ? If you go up from stock you newd to decrease the sidewall hight tp take into account the increase, bigger rims would normally give a harsher ride and be more 'crashy' over lumps and bumps, having the tyres overinflated will cause the contact patch of the surface of the tyre to be smaller giving less grip and increased tyre wear

Very poor performance in damp conditions - Noob help
Far too high mate, check the drivers side door jamb there should be a sticker telling you, for instance mine are 29psi front and 26 rear. I guess yours should be around that too.

Legacy? Outback? Forester? Petrol / diesel?
A little bit of front end understeer is par for the course with it being awd. Quite a few owners who are 'enthusiastic' in driving style often change the rear ARB for a thicker one. Or just drive around the problem. Since I've changed the struts you can really lean on her into the corner and just use the grip to come through the other side. Wet weather performance is in a diffrrent league

Don't mean to sound like I'm teaching you to suck eggs but what pressure are you running in the rears ? Even a couple of psi difference will cause very different handling

06 Forester 2.5 XT just purchased
Looks nice and clean, I prefer the pre face lift models think the bottom of the front end looks nicer, They like regular servicing so even if you just change the oil and filter inbetween servicing there should be no reason for it not to go on for anothr 50-100k without any problems, just warm the car up and make sure everythings up to operating temp before giving it the beans as the head gaskets were an issue on the 2.5 motors in the early models. Have a look for subaru specalists in your area as they tend to be a lot cheaper than the dealers. Maybe speak to opie oils (trader on here) regarding a different oil for the colder weather

Legacy? Outback? Forester? Petrol / diesel?
Hi mate welcome, sorry about the car glad everyone's ok though, As for servicing plugs are hard to reach ig you remove the airbox and washer bottle it's fairly straightforward. Google specialists in your area as main dealer prices are a joke. The layout ofbthe engine means it's fairly easy to work on. Remove the rad for belt changes and you can get at just about everything. Imprez's will handle just about all conditions apart from really thick stuff. I'm in the forester camp so have a little more clearance 66cm as standard. I'm sure yhe outback owners will be along soon

Subaru forester gearbox oil filler location
Look between the intercooler and turbo, you'll see a dipstick for the gearbox. You also have to fill it through that. A funnel and peice of hose comes in handy

Horrendous noise
Almost like a clutch was engaged and trying to pull its self out. I'm off to check the oil level in a bit so I'll turn over and see. I did remove the belt cover to get to the crank sensor so maybe something was catching
