Flippin Fast Forester..

[Bartop]

A few more tweaks later and a remap by the infamous Mr Bob Rawle and the results are 341 bhp and 380 torque.
Really pleased with the car now and the mods all but finished apart from an Sti steering rack next week and maybe some AST coilovers in the new year. I'd like to take the car down the strip but I'd estimate the 0-60 time is around 5 secs and 150'ish top speed. Not bad for a big 'ole barge and enough to give a few cars a shock or two

Pic of the car below and a scan from the dyno run..comments welcome !

[TVRED]

Didnt know the forrester was such a nice looking car

[busta]

Nice car though, proper family motoring!

Whats the mpg like?

p.s. you've scrubbed the first 2 letters off the number plate but the reg. number is printed on the dyno sheet.

[Monster26]

I like alot....

[smogthemog]

Very nice

I would much sooner have summuts practical and as good looking as that than a standard scoob.
I went for the S6 Avant because I like Crout cars and there is tun's of room.
Room to sling ow't in the back

[TVR man]

Are they PFF7s? They look great.

[bartop]

Thanks for the comments guys
Consumption is around 22-24 mpg. Bizarrely slightly better since the remap but I'm not complaining !

Yep - PFF7's, good spot ! Excellent wheels and you don't see many of them on a Forester for sure

Wow I'm quite surprised at the fuel economy. I would have thought a largeish turbo'd car with 340hp would be somewhere in the mid teens!

Photo bucket is banned from my work, can anyone post get the pics on here any other way ?

From the spec it sounds awesome.

P,

Great fun and you're right, half the fun is you don't see many on the road and not many people know what they are or what they can do

[negative creep]

very nice! Really like the looks of them (especially the white STis) If I ever had to consider a car for its practicality, that would be at the top of the list

[DC53]

I really like this!!

It's got the perfect looks too !

[Tentenths]

Holy cow... you get around Pete

Nice car

James

[bartop]

Lol - I am the pimpmeister

...now should I get the AST's...hmmm

That looks extremely purposeful

With those figures that must be a real hoot to drive and a great sleeper car (as far a Subaru can be).
