hey man... long shot since this thread is two years old but I had a question about your sti exhaust on the 4EAT. Does it sound alright? I wanna get an aftermarket exhaust for my XT but I'm afraid of drone or ****ty shifting sounds. So just wanted to get your opinion

It's strange that I am now the current owner of your old forester and I appreciate the mods you have done ^^.

Just now seeing this. I'm glad someone is still enjoying the car! I truly miss driving it.

BTW, I saw in your other post that the car had issues when you got it. Sorry to hear that. I took really good care of it and it was running perfectly when I sold it, so I assume someone abused it in the interim.

@Smooth Had a little bit of issue with the turbo, other than that so far so good! Thank you for taking care of the car I am enjoying it as I have been treating the car with lots of jdm parts. Just need a few exterior mods and new wheels + brembos and it will be almost a forester sti clone Although I am a little sad that the car came with so many dings and dents but oh well.

also.. do you know if these wheels would clear the brembo calipers? that way I can do the calipers before getting the work emotion cr kai

@rei07 I dreamed of adding more JDM pieces to the car (especially the side skirts). The turbo I installed did have a decent number of miles on it plus the classic VF39 wastegate crack so it was probably not going to last forever, unfortunately. I believe that the Rota Torques that I had on the car do clear Brembos, but IIRC it would be very close and might require a small spacer.

@Smooth Oh boy.. perhaps it is time for a new turbo after all, the car just hit 123k and I wonder how much would it run me to get the turbo rebuilt/replaced. Although I am currently waiting on JDM headlights, they are stuck in customs right now. Will post pictures after they arrived and on the car (hopefully soon).
