Highlights
- Highlights:
- This Forester’s factory-fitted transmission has been swapped with a 6-speed manual from a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
- The attached Carfax history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this Subaru's past; it also shows that it's been registered in Florida since new.
- A partial list of notable equipment reported by the seller includes fog lights, roof bars, a tailgate window wiper, a power driver's seat, heated front seats, and automatic climate control.
- Notable modifications reported by the seller are extensive, and a full list is detailed below. Highlights include an STi-sourced 6-speed manual transmission, an IAG Stage 2 engine long block, a Boost Lab turbocharger, BC coilovers, STi front lower control arms, and tailored leather seat covers.
- Subaru injected rally genes into the second-generation Forester to create the 2.5XT model released for 2004. The wagon benefited from a 2.5-liter flat-4 engine related to the unit that powered the WRX STi, which was a significant improvement over the standard Forester, and several specific accents inside and out (like a hood scoop). It kept the all-wheel drive system that buyers expected from a Subaru, and it remained as practical as the naturally aspirated variants.
- Power comes from a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-4, rated at 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this Forester, it may produce more power, though a dyno sheet was not provided for verification. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
