kickn5k Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) As much as I hate to say it I do sorta, kinda, maybe like these just a little. A absolutely hate wrx's with a passion but the forester suits its purpose well. Looked after they last really well. Â I'd be pretty sure the 2.5 turbo would bolt straight in. But I'm not sure how different the strength of the drive lines are. Â Edit: Zowie that candy red one looks awesome!!!

Jono.C Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah that looks the way to go! Â I'm struggling to see the difference between your new hatch and the old one? Besides the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 thanks Stu..! will definitely look into it. and that red one is crazy..! can't remember if it was that one or another on their forums that was a RWD only conversion, all beefed up and yeah Jono, pretty much just the rear wing is different. i didnt feel confident enough in drilling the holes for a wing, if i could find one on its own  :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
