Vlog: The 1997 Subaru Forester T/TB Project car

I've been meaning to do a walkaround video of my 1997 Subaru Forester build for a while now. After finally getting around to it, here's my first vlog on the car. A shame its only taken 3 years of ownership to get one done.

Any tips on modifying the t/tb for performance

[@matdaymon]

Depends how far you wanna go mate.
My first t/tb I went with a manual conversion (WRX or Forester s/tb gearbox and pedal set), Version 4 STI ECU, injectors and airflow meter. A Turbosmart electronic boost controller set to 12psi and 15psi respectively, Zerosports intake off an Apexi pod filter and a 2.5" catless exhaust from the turbo back. Netted 184kw at the wheels which was plenty fast.
This one I've left stock apart from a cheap stainless exhaust manifold/uppipe as I went through 2 junkyard factory replacements in 6months.

Hey mate do you still have this car?

[@matdaymon]

Sadly no. Sold it about a year ago. Was a good beast but wasn’t using it so moved it on to someone who would.
