Subiesport Magazine - August/September 2008 - (Page 39) 2004 FORESTER XT our shop’s talents and be daily driven. It was not built for the track. It has been taken to the track to spectate, but not to compete.” Not all performance cars need to be built for track duty, however. Having a nice, fast car is simply a cool thing to keep about. Besides, the track really can beat the hell out of your ride and this Forester is simply too nice to ruin. The car started as an automatic Forester XT. This came with the venerable EJ255, 4EAT transmission and a TD04 turbo. Basically, the Forester XT was the WRX TR before there was a WRX TR. And while the stock XT is a good car to begin with and shares a vast amount of mechanicals with the WRX, there was room for improvement. However, there is a bit more to it than just dropping in STI bits. “Well, as you are I’m sure aware, the Forester is built on the Impreza platform, which means virtually all of the mechanical components from the STI bolt right in with very little modification needed,” said Steve. “The hard part, as with any large swap project, is the wiring. We are running the factory DCCD system and, of course, the Forester wiring does not support DCCD. For that reason, the car had to be completely rewired, the dash had to come out, the complete ABS system had to be swapped from the STI and wired-in. We also are running the STI instrument cluster, which also had to be wired-in to allow the DCCD display in the STI cluster to operate. The only thing that does not function properly is the outside temp display, which resulted from some compatibility issues between the STI and Forester A/C systems.” “ there have been a few that have suffered the indignity of being embarrassed by a Subaru Forester!” SUBIESPORT MAGAZINE 39
