I figured I would introduce my self here to those local to me. New to the bord, not to Subi's. I am currently driving a 84 toyota 4runner and am Wheeling it. I was previously/ and still do occationaly drive a 87 Subaru XT. I love driveing Fast and Slow, that makes finding the proper vechial for me a royal pain in the ***. I am wanting a new car, one to satisfy my need for speed. I was thinking WRX / STI but Insurance for a younge male driver in a sports car sucks . So I am thinking a Forster XT, Honestly there is enough imprezas running around I need to be different. Besides I love the stealth factor .

I am pleased to see you guys are into Mountain biking and May join a ride or 2.

Oh, incase It does not show up, I am 20yr old Male.

 

Let me be the first to Welcome you to SRIC. (Sac. - Reno Impreza Club)

You'll get the hang out it pretty quick. I highly recommend going to some of the meets to get to know the guys. I just started going this summer, and trust me, you'll enjoy the boards that much more.

Enjoy your stay:wiggle:


ps: I'm 4 months older than u

 

Welcome to SRIC! Good call on the FXT, swap the intercooler, turbo and associated plumbing, and ECU from a 04 STI and you have a what the Forester guys call a FXTI, 300HP super sleeper That's what I'd like to do if I had the cash.

I hear you about the insurance for a 20 year old male, I'm 23 and I still get owned on insurance for my 2001 RS. But anyway, welcome again!

 

Welcome young fellow. Yeah if you get a chance you should definately make it out to a meet.

 

I have no problem making it to a meet. When I started up with a local 4x4 club I didnt have my 4runner yet and I showed up to a few meets in the XT and I got someinteresting reactions . I will definatly show my face at a meet.

 

Can the same be done with a Non turbo Forester? I dont see why not, but then again I am not the most mechanicly inclined. I would imagine it would bea little more work since I would be installing a whole new system not replaceing existing parts.

 

It is a whole lot more work to do it to a non turbo forester, if you want to go that route, you would be better off buying a FXT.

 

^^ what he said.

And yeah, welcome to SRIC. If you can make it out to our next ride on the 29th that would be sweet

 

welcome to SRIC

Enjoy your stay.

 

welcome.

FXT is a hot car! maybe one day i'll talk my wife into one...

yeah come out and play fat tires with us...
i have a feeling it's gonna be a large group this saturday at olmstead...

 

The engine in the non-turbo Forester is not the same motor thats in the turbo version minus all the turbo bits. If it were, then what you are saying is true, but unfortunately, the non-turbo Forester engine cannot hold the same amount of power, unless you build up the motor. BUt at that point, why not just buy the FXT to begin with?

 

I am up for olmstead, but I am out of shape, so if you dont mind me psooibly slowing you down.

 

Welcome senior doe

 

Deffinatly glad to get a warm welcoming.

 

Just be glad it doesn't involve the KY type of "warming"
