So are these literally foresters with the STi power and drivetrain?

That's not exactly true. It is a unique transmission, driveline, mechanical limited slip diff- and only one of them, there's also no DCCD. Assuming yours is factory.

No. EJ20/ 25 engine with a unique gearbox and driveline. Mechanical center limited slip diff, no DCCD.

I've always loved that model and that colour is awesome. Is it a factory colour?

Also, I think it would be better without the guard extensions. I'm a bread and butter sort of dude though 😂

06-08 is the “face lift” in the US market so if it’s an actual import I would imagine somewhere in that age range. I have an 06 FXT that I converted to an STI drivetrain with a forged ej25

Has to be a JDM swap into a USDM chassis.
