Thanks guys. I have quite a few things in the works. Not a full sti swap but fun things still.

hey uh, when you get tired of this forester or become bored with it, let me know and I'll take it off your hands no problem...

Very nice ride! Looks like I'll have some competition for next year's show.

You should definatley bring that down to the SAABaru meet July 12 at Bear Mountain. There are a few local cars going down.

vtbimmer · « **Reply #9 on:** June 23, 2008, 06:38:32 PM »

Thanks everyone. Not sure if I can make it on the 12th as my gtg/event/bbq/drives have already filled up my schedual. Damn I love summer!
Anyway I hope to make a unysoc meet soon. Where is most everyone from? Im 1hr to Troy which is nothin to drive considering anything is 1/2hr from me anyway

vtbimmer · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2008, 09:55:25 PM »

Yep. Its like pullin teeth trying to get anyone to contribute. Too bad. We had a good thing going.

I hear you can get 425 horse power with just bolt ons on the XT . Is that a XT?

I love the WHIP!!!

Thanks. It is a XT
425hp is a little ambitious for bolt ons. A reliable 350whp with a good tune vf39 or 34, fmic, 750 injectors, walbro pump, and TBE.
425 would require some internal work as well as a better clutch. Stock clutch sucks as it is. I would probably swap out the tranny for the 6 speed sti if I went anywhere over 350whp.
But yeah, just with the 4" dp and 3" cat back it pulls much harder than my WRX with the same system. Im only Stage 1 and I cant stop smiling every time I boost. Cant wait for EM and a VF with a custom FMIC.

Gotta love the EJ255/7

I really like the Forrester

I think you'll be hard-pressed to get there with a VF34/39 without EWG/meth and a really aggressive tune.

StageII (TBE + custom tune) STi will put down about 300whp, for reference

sweet ride- yeah #'s are harder to get than you think
