New Subaru Forester Owner! I have some questions -)
You are correct in the engine code, however as ours were the 1st lot of foz's they differ slightly, Straight i/c and not the slanty type on ver 1-2 imprezas and front entry turbo as opposed to the 90° elbow As for the solid buckets I've no idea but as ours are later versions of the engine they could be, not had the heads off to check, Also the rocker cover gaskets are a bit hit and miss as they aren't the ones listed for the eudm car on import car parts site, When we had mine changed we ended up with 5 sets of different ones as we couldn't work out which was correct until we stripped it down

Tyres
I'm on the goodyear efficient grip how hard do you push the car ? I bought them for the a rated wet grip, figured I should never run out of dry grip on any decent tyres so far they perform well in dry and are very good in the wet, Obviously the cross climate are a genuine all season tyre and I think the only tyre of its type the tuv have snow marked so depends on if you use winter tyres aswell ?

330s project stealth
Depends on how much you want to spend, I got a perrin one from scooby clinic, ptp are another well respected brand but you'll have to ship from the states, I have mine without the heat shield, the ic is cool to touch after a long run and can also put my hand on the blanket, Some of the UK sellers blankets are 2x as much and I can't see why, Cdf, do them amongst others

New Old Forester owner from sunny Cork
The drain bolt is for the box and front diff, Odd that's there's no dipstick should be where the others have been on previous models, is the dipstick tube there but missing the stick ?

Forester dilemma
Not sure about the tank size as mine's a sf5 so it shares a 45l tank with the same year impreza, Major service is every 3 or 4 years depending on model an interim service is about a ton but is easy enough to do yourself, plugs are a pain but again only once every 3/4 years Like most jap cars you can pretty much dismantle it with 4 sockets and a screwdriver [emoji3] Once you get your head round the layout of the engine they are easy really.

Mine comes in early now around 2 and is hitting max boost at 3.5k which is nice makes a more drivable car in my opinion, I've an ej20g motor although I think when the built the 1st foz's they just used what ever parts were lying around !

Forester dilemma
Hello & welcome, Not sure of any foz owners that way on her but you could try uk foz too, Runing costs aren't too bad if you find a local specialists, With a six mile commute you'll only really get mpg in the low 20's on longer runs expect high 20's early 30's Only other things really is servicing, an independent will be roughly half the cost of subaru, Typical costing breakdowns are dependant on your garage but rough prices are Clutch 300-400 Major service 350-500 Cambelt 350-450 The rest of the parts are relatively cheap and widely available, and if you like working on your own car then they are fairly easy to do.
