u can buy whiteline caster C rubber strut mount for the front... it will increase caster+camber for the front...immense amount of front end grip increase by this part.. then 2nd part u will need to buy forester SF5 specific front lower control arm bushing (rear direction big bush and big steel pin)... this when installed in impreza chassis, it will becomes anti-lift kit front suspension geometry correction.... this also increase front end steering feel in corner entry during braking and corner exit acceleration.... (whiteline also does have this aftermarket option with more caster increase option as well) those 2 simple mod definately will add more fun in driving and autocrossing
Great review Chris! I recently picked up a 2005 non-turbo RS version which looks exactly the same here in New Zealand at 130k KMs (about 80K miles). Do you have any tips for maintaining the paint? Your paint looks great for the age and miles.
Subaru paint is super soft. I’d recommend using some type of a ceramic coating - just the DIY spray on waxes (nothing super expensive). Layer it up. I’m currently using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating.
Question I have a 2006 impreza 2.5i can my benefit from the parts you use suspension, gear oil and motor oil. Things not turbo. Im changing the pcv valve and oil pressure sensor beside oil change and sparkplugs also coolant. Struts brakes two main issues mines daily etc.
I got the 04 wrx wagon off the lot in 2004, and I love it! 180k miles and still kickin
Hey man love the subie! Saw you at the Grand Prix Riverfront meet! Looks so good in person!
Nice review. Still enjoying my 2002 since 2005. Really liked the Blobeye as well when they came out.
Head gasket were only an issue on the n/a engines, not the turbo engines. The turbo engines used the better mls gaskets

Yep. I had two non-turbo ones before this. All the suspension stuff, gear oil, etc works.
Hey man ! Is that an aux cable coming out from the radio? How did you do it? Thanks a lot.
It’s an adaptor for a cassette deck to a 3.5mm audio cable… with another adaptor to an Apple lightning cable for an iPhone lol
Awesome ! I didn't know that existed. Thanks man@@cmiovino
@@Joseto_Lfrfr just got an 04 wrx a few days ago can’t wait to begin the journey 😆💯
Bought a 2004 in 2012… bought it used 😂
RUST CONVERTOR AND FISH OIL OVER SPRAY WILL STOP RUST AND SEAL IT 🙂
these transmissions like pennzoil syncromesh better.
