Hi All, I have just completed the gearbox conversion to Dual Range for my 2007 XT 5MT Forester!!! Happy days (well mostly) So, other than now finding out the input shaft bearing is noisy, everything is working fine the basics: 2007 SG Forester NA Dual Range Case SF Series 1.1447 Low Range Input Gear...

Vincent, if you are still moving a lil, then booting it will get VLSD to help and hopefully stock you from getting stuck, however, this isnt always an option depending on the terrain, for instances climbing slowly up a hill, or if you stop on a hill thats rutted, then VLSD cant help, and thats where...

as for DCCD, its in the Centre and just makes sure power goes to front and back, main problem is diagonal wheel spin, and the centre has no control over this, so dropping in a front LSD thats a clutch type will always give power to both front wheels and atleast one rear wheel, getting rid of diagona...

as its a 2.5L Turbo with a mild tune, and a future Low resistance TBE exhuast will be added, i dont believe i will have any problems sitting at 2650 at 110kmh, i am using 215/65/16 tires, so they aren't huge, just slightly bigger than the stock 215/60/16 i think that if the car is loaded fully and i...

Hi all, I have been collecting pieces for a Low Range conversion into my 2007 Forester XT. The overall plan: SG N/A Gearbox - SF 1.4 Low Range - 4.11 FDR - XT Gearset (3,4,5th) What I have collected: 1x Half 2006 SG N/A Gearbox (opened but no centre diff) 1x Full 2006 SG N/A Gearbox and matching 4.1...

those readings are correct for that 5th gear, .871 is a very short gear, you should have sourced the 0.78 from the SG set, or even the 0.738 from the SG XT set, as i am doing a similar build, i have checked all the ratios extensively. there is a phone app called gear calculator you canget for free a...

It's a traditional roo bar that mounts under and sits in front of the bumper, not a bullbar that replaces the bumper,

Selling the Roo bar from a brumby,
came off a 1990 brumby but should suit most,
Alluminiun, nice and light, with spot light tabs,

My beloved Subaru Forester is now up for sale. It been one of the most practical cars i've ever known of, City, Offroad, Country, Towing, Safety, Handling, it ticks a lot of boxes, but its now needing a bit of work, and i cant spend the money on it. Its got a 2" Block Lift, Rear HD Raised King Sprin...

surely 2.5" cant be any smaller than the stock design anyway? altho i do hear it really sucking in the air and whistling when i firmly accelerate i stuck with 2.5" at the time as it didnt stick out past the fender (in case cops were being fussy) Not sure what i'll do with my next forester i get, whe...

i was on 7/8 psi the last time i was on the beach at two rocks...thats some chopped up soft sand up there, lanno is a bit easier

nope,
its basically a DIY
some people have purchased other snorkels and adapted them to fit,
i got mine made a my local exhaust shop out of 2.5" mid steel,
then i got it powdercoated.

i have the profile for cutting the hole into the fender if you'd like it?

I seem to remember your car and mine being the only 2 lifted ones at Two Rocks and Wibinga with 17 other Subarus..... It'll go fine but of course lift does help. When did you have clearance issues!!? Yes the pipes is fun but lift is almost definately needed for a stock Subie and AT tyres really hel...
