forester tuned by sti - new?

  Top of Page

are these new? i hadn't heard of them before, but then today in lorimer street I saw two of them. they looked pretty standard looking ( I only saw the rear ), with a white/silver panel below the rear window and a 'tuned by sti docklands' badge on the rear.

webwombat said early last year "The new Subaru Forester STi goes on sale in Japan on May the 6th ( 2005 ), and Subaru Australia said it has no plans to bring the vehicle into Australia."

i think all that means is they took there standard forestor's into the docklands for the STi guys to install some STi parts in it proberly, like exhaust and stuff i'm guessing

Forester STis have been around for ages in Japan. They don't go anywhere else, although Litchfield in the UK is importing them with retune & sat nav for 27000quid i think yikes yikes

i asked them about it at the subaru stand tonight. apparently they're plain forester XT's tuned by STI staff for themselves. So bigger turbo, STI suspension and interior etc. and not for sale to the general public.

In Japan just about every subaru model turbo or non turbo can have STI add ons, I d say its just so STI docklands can make some extra dosh.
