I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

forester STi

Post by IHATEMOKIDS87 » March 13, 2004

idk if any of u herd of the forester STI its insnae lookin backed up by alot of power. its basically got an impreza STi motor in it which i think was smart. anyway im planin on buyin an ordinary 98 forester and putin in a STi motor in it. but thats only the easy part hard to belive. the hard part is to acually find a body kits and stuff for it. i cant find it anywere so im askin all who read this to reply wit an adress of a site that u no has parts for a forester. for those who want to see the forester STi visit this site

That is pretty cool, in a BMW X3 sort-of-way. STis are great cars!

I definately would not say Subie engine swaps are easy.

Subaru swap + not easy = understatement

I wouldn't do a body kit. If anything, I'd find someone to import the STi body parts.

That's pretty rad.

I agree. Get the STi parts. More rare than any usdm body kit would be. Even if it is a Forester with an STi motor. It'd have that much more badass to it.

Why dont you just buy an Impreza with an STi engine already fitted. It'll be a lot cheaper and alot less hassel. Not trying to be awkward but looking at it another way. :)

It is and interesting looking car, but an impreza will have better handling and quicker as its lighter.

Im in love with the new WRX STi V-Limited :lick: :lick: :lick: only 555 made though. :(

You would spend the same if not less money and be faster, more unique, and just plain cooler with a 3.0 liter H6 swap, twin turbos, and the STi 6 speed and drivetrain
