Well it finally arrived and im stoked to have it in the driveway ( carpark ) finally! I know its not a Nissan but its awesome nevertheless.

Its a great drive, plenty of power and torque - 6 speed manual is great. its got heaps of room and will seat 4 adults comfortably.

Power delivery is linear, you can feel the urge around 3k and it really gets busy after that up to 7k. 4pot brembos have plenty of assist, fade is negligible, great pedal feel.

It'll be on its way to Oz ( fingers crossed without a hitch ) next year so for this year im just going to enjoy it.

The Fonz can also dust many cars 3 times the price - its no slouch. It'll see 0-100 in 5 or less seconds and carry the dog and all the gear for a camping trip, too. :laugh: :laugh:

Hope you like it as much as i do!

I like its allround appeal. Its popular in Oz too afaik, so i shouldnt have too much trouble finding a home for it when the time comes.

Unfortunately for Oz, subaru decided not to bring this car in, so the only way to get your hands on one is via private import which i will be doing.

Depending on when that is and what my situation is, I'd be interested in giving it a good home.

I've been trying to work out how to afford a turbo Forester for a few months now.

Alan, the car will be in Oz around this time next year. I have to make sure it gets there safely for whoever wants to have it next.

Its not the prettiest car around i agree but from the drivers seat that doesnt matter, does it? Its a wolf in sheep's clothing...with pink stickers! ;)

We will see. Its too early to tell but the early bird gets the proverbial.

This car will be 1 of only 8 cars in the country next year - mine and another member of this board are 7 and 8.

I like those numbers. ;)

S'all good... sorry for harassing you! I just wanted pics, I thought you were holding out on us!

lol, nah, like i said, too busy driving not enough time to get things uploaded.

I went out to Super Autobacs today to buy some gear. Mindblowing places they are... So much to drool over///

I bought a stack of care produce and a couple of little Sti souvenirs... carbon fiber keyring is sik - i tried bending that little f*ker but it wont flex...damn that stuff is strong.

did you buy yourself a cat-back? Make sure a front strut brace is one of your first mods too.

Roger that. I was checking out cusco braces yesterday - around 20,000 yen>?

I wonder how much the Sti brace is...

It needs more burble Brian - Its too quiet for me and it could use more poke.

Hows yours coming along?? Youve taken delivery right?

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
