This is my 1997 Japanese Spec Subaru Forester s/tb. I have to say I am really impressed with the performance of the Forester, we bought the car basically because it had lots of space to put the dog in the back. However I wanted something with a little extra performance.
The car is fairly standard, with most mods having been done when the original parts needed replacing.
So far the following have been done:
- Whiteline Drop links front and rear
- Whiteline 20mm rear adjustable anti-roll bar
- Whiteline front adjustable anti-roll bar
- EBC Red stuff pads
- PowerTek Boost Controller
- GReddy Blow Off Valve
- Aspiro Induction kit
- Hayward & Scott Exhaust
- Apiro Induction Kit
From what i've been told 0-60 is about 6 seconds and top speed is 130mph. I had the car on the rolling road in july 2006 and saw 266bhp and 259lb torque on a red hot summers day.
The car has recently been shown on TV on Granada Men and Motors Channel on the Used Car Road Show. The picture below was taken during filming with Penny Mallory and Jason Dawe.
