After owning a GC8 for the past couple of years I decided I wanted something a little bigger but just as fun so I ended up winning a 2000 Forester STI in an auction and it should be here late December (hopefully). Here are the pictures I have of the car as it sits at the yard in Japan.
It was a 4B auction car with 93 000km and as everyone knows the first year of the FSTI was only automatic Will most likely do the manual swap come spring.
Plans for the car are to have a reliable, fast, fun car that when people look at it they go
My modification will include:
3SDM 0.06 wheels in 18x9.5 et35
Air Lift Performance air ride (still deciding on which management system)
Aero Spec front grill
Staggered 3" blast pipes (swapping on from my GC)
Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel (from the GC as well)
NRG quick release/short hub (also from the GC)
and a few other small things here and there.
Here is my GC at the moment:

Could use a really good cleaning but overall it is in great condition.

Digital climate control, pretty cool. Didn't know these cars had that.

Some big unnecessary grounding kit but a strut bar which I didn't know they came with either (probably aftermarket actually).
