09 Forester XT 6mt Swap


Recommended Posts

I just bought a 2009 Forester XT with a 2008 STI 6mt swap. I picked it up with a rod knock and a brand new IAG stage 2 short block. The car is at a local shop having the short block installed. It has a vf52, so it should make some decent power.

 

I think I will end up liking it more than my leggy but time will tell.
