Subaru FAST Info FAQ

[jdmvip]

Subaru FAST is the EPC (Electronic Parts Guide) that your local Subaru dealership uses.

For us Subaru owners it is really a must have because most dealership staff will not be able to help you with parts unless you can provide a valid VIN (and if you have a JDM you won't have a valid VIN).

With FAST you can search for part names and then click the "Translate" button, that will give you the exact part#.

Let's try and keep any info/questions about Subaru FAST in this thread.

Here is a download link for FAST ISOs: http://files.jdmvip.com/SubaruFast/ (go to apps).
Recommended ISOs:
-JDM Parts but is in Japanese
-AUDM has info on EJ20G, 205 and 207 (may not be 100% correct sometimes but has been quite reliable).

If anything requires a password I believe it is "sli" since most of these files were downloaded from their site.

Before installing (thanks to user rightangle)
It may not work right unless you install Applocale (sorry not sure where to download it):

A lot of people use tools like "Daemon Tools" to virtually mount the disc while using virtualization like VMWare, KVM or Virtualbox etc.
1.) To install FAST you'll need to browse to the following path on the Disc/ISO: D:\SFFASTPG\WIN (D: assumes your disc drive is D change as needed)
2.) To use FAST you'll need to go to the Start Menu -> Subaru FAST-2 -> 2) - (Setup) and tell it to use the drive that has the Disc.
3.) Go to the Start Menu -> Subaru FAST-2 -> 1)-Retrieve Parts Number
Enter your chassis number or click on the ? and choose the most correct info for your car.
Click Jump -> Parts Selection -> Part Name (then type what you're looking for, once you find it click it and then hit the "Translate" button. It should give you the part#.


One other note is that the only JDM ISO that I found to have the old JDMs (pre 1998) was the following one (I tried a bunch of them before almost giving up):
20710 ISO

For Post 1998 JDM Subaru's I found the 30710 ISO has those models (I'm not sure until what year though but I was able to lookup some BE5/BH5 models and EJ207 WRX/STi).

*Note I haven't found a genuine "JDM solution" to lookup parts without using the Japanese version. You cannot use JDM ISOs in any English version I've tried (if someone finds otherwise or solution please let me know). I tried to use the Japanese it but couldn't get it to work (beyond entering a JDM chassis # and getting the basic engine/model info). I think the tool expects Japanese characters to be used when searching or perhaps with the lack of English I'm doing something wrong lol.
*In general newer versions of ISOs tend to drop older cars so always use the oldest version if your vehicle is not found

Wow, thanks, this looks to be useful. I'll check it out. Damn I love a fast ISP. 3 minutes to download the iso

If anyone has any issues with it don't be shy to ask I've been using it for awhile, also after your done choosing your parts to get the "dealer Part #" go to tools at the top and click translate.

[jdmvip]

Thanks for the offer dr3w, feel free to update my post or make a more detailed one. I did mine very quickly, but hopefully FAST will solve the problems for most people.

Hey I finally got it all installed. Followed the instructions but I was wondering if I have to make a CD? It seems it needs one, I think I may have done something different then you guys.

[dr3w]

You have a cd image ? whats the extension of your file ? if so you ether have to burn it or create a virtual disk drive with daemon tools and open it that way.

[jdmvip]

+1 for dr3w, if you don't want to burn it just use something like Daemon tools to mount the .iso as a virtual CD drive.

[Speed Stick]

This is kinda a dumb question but what file do I need to burn onto a blank cd to make a subaru fast CD?

[drkwing3]

Hmmm...do I have to register with rapidshare in order to be able to download FAST?, or is the link invalid now? If so could someone please send me a working link for an ISO.
