Much as I love the Legacy platform - I still love my Spec B to bits - they're all I've owned for the past 6 years and I feel like it's time to change things up a little

I was wondering about the hi/lo box, was looking at the base model SH because of it but coming out of a Spec B legacy I don't want to lose the creature comforts I've gotten used to... It's the classic toss up between getting something cheaper to thrash the living s*** out of or something that's actually presentable and able to do longer trips comfortably! As it'll be my only car I'm leaning towards the latter though. Now you say that, there's a VERY nice XT that's just popped up on TM, maybe it's a sign...

Thanks! I've gotten in touch with Corgiwerx and have a set of both linkage and pivot bushings on the way. Can't recommend the guy enough so far, fast and easy to deal with and for a very reasonable price. Will update once they're installed.

Hey team, Looking at selling my Legacy this year and moving on to an SH Fozzy, with the intention of doing an overland sort of build (mild lift, A/T tyres, roof tent etc.) to get out and about and do some exploring and a few trails. I've recently moved to Auckland and due to having to deal with traffic now I'll be leaning towards getting an automatic XS, purely for the comfort factor. Basically what I want to know is, has anyone with experience taking an N/A Forester offroad noticed a difference in capability compared to an XT? Outright speed isn't as much of an issue as I'll be getting a bike as well for when I need to scratch that itch, more concerned about getting places. It'll be my first dive into the Forester world as well, is there anything in particular to look at when buying other than the standard Subie things? Cheeers for any help!!

Long shot but is there potential for another group buy? My lip took a whack from a possum and is currently held together with zip ties, hopes and prayers....

Hey team, I've got a lot (a good couple of inches) of slop side to side in my shifter, just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of what to replace to eliminate this? All the threads I've seen are outdated, managed to find one with a good diagram to help finding parts but that's about it... https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1017405 I have already replaced the front and rear shifter stay bushings with Whiteline units with no change to the slop, I suspect the shift linkage bushing is the weak point but I'm having trouble finding a replacement for a reasonable cost. Does anyone know a NZ distributor or even someone making parts locally? Cheers for any help!!
