Indeed it was! yeah its tidy as, just need to put the original badges etc back on it! Yeah same It made me smile even before the tune! now it does other things to me lol!

Hi guys just though id show off my new ride! so its a 2005 STI Forester recently aquired from Ajay @Subirex Automotive thanks to Ajay and his team he did an awesome job of getting it ready for me on time! once it was finished it went to @PBMS they manged to get a safe but very satisfying 208KW ATW out of it - few pics below of her on her drive down to Nelson!

Anyone else?

Yeah true im still wary about the engine failures the pre 2010 models have.. i badly want one but cant afford a 2010 model...

2.0 6mt

Have found a 2009 sti with 160kms on the clock is it likely to blow up on me lol?

Yeah okay thats good to know thanks! Haha possibly!

Hi guys I'm looking at buying a 2006 Forester STI and was just wondering if there is any known issues with these vehicles? they are obviously a 2.5 motor and people say the Subaru 2.5 motors are known for doing head gaskets.. I love the idea of the STI Forester being quick great looking and very practical! Any tips or known issues would be muchly appreciated

Hi guys So the Heater core in my 1989 Subaru Leone has decided to leak and from what i can see online etc its a pretty major job to replace it, obviously the other option would be to just bypass it in the engine bay but it gets cold in the winter! Has anyone replaced one before? and if so what is involved?

These guys did my 06 Legacy but it may not work on all nav systems Installer Services 14 Ryan Pl, Manukau, 2104 PH 0800 348 669

Hi guys so I have an na 1999 forester C/20 manual and recently the reverse gear stopped working It all started when I got it stuck down by the river and I was tryna reverse out and it did involve high revs and a few clutch dumps lol that's what the old foresters for having fun! So once i got out it was stuck in reverse and the only way to get it out was to pop it out while rolling back and it would make a horrible noise while in reverse So finally the other day it stopped working all together now and it just makes a grinding noise when u try to reverse - my question is now what's the best way to get it sorted? Pop a second hand box in? Or try to fix it?

Has yours been reflashed/tuned?

Anyone around the Nelson Bays/Blenheim area that would lend a Tactrix cable to me? or even further afield wanting to get my 3.0R remapped

Indeed it is! sorry @4G63B8 im wanting a manual oh well looks like I might just have to go back to a V7/V8 STI

Well I have owened a V7 STI - nice car but wanting something new and was very impressed when I drove a V11 there are so many around surely there are other owners on here can comment, not that I dont beleive you @Kiwi_Fozze I'd just like to see what others have had

Hmm that's a pity - such a nice car!

Hi team so I tried out a 2.0L 2008 V11 STI yesterday and I am so impressed I think i want to buy one now lol, but with others on here saying they blow engines etc is it really that common? I cant really afford to buy the 2010+ age ones

Ah thought that was the case, cheers

Question - if i had some v7 sti rear hubs would they go onto my 2006 3.0r and if so would v7-8 brembos for the rear bolt up?

Okay good to know! how does he do a remote tune and anyone know costing?

Interesting you say to tune first? that means if you want to do any mods you would have to tune again after? doubling the cost I have a 2006 Legacy 3.0R 6MT that I want to tune but would prefer to do some exhaust mods first.. let me know your thoughts @west_minist

No probs! No I didn't keep it in place after as it wasn't really an issue unless I was on less than a quarter of a tank Yeah I used a 32oz tank - bit of a squeeze getting it in the opening but it is possible

I tried this mod myself on my V7 STI as i was getting really bad surge but it turned out the main problem that the stock fuel sock wasn't used once I put that back on it was a lot better- not perfect but I wasn't tracking the car so wasn't too worried I actually bought 2x of the plane fuel tank 1x which is brand new If you want it? its the exact same Dubro tank pictured

Ive had 6 different Legacys now from twin turbo BH5 to the facelift turbo BP5 and now i have a 6spd 3.0R and absolutely love it, sure you dont get the turbo experience but its got low down power and torque when you need it - the EZ30 is definitely no slouch especially if you do a re-flash and maybe exhaust which I am going to do at some stage..
