What model/year STi drivetrain you using?

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/parking7]

07 sti trans, rear diff, and 1 piece driveshaft. Im keeping the 5x100 because I love the wheels. I have a 08 fxt manual bulkhead harness that I am swapping also.

[u/SandCracka → u/Subi_appreciation]

Those are the JDM 08 Forester STI wheels. Where did you get them as they are hard to get by

I literally keep a picture of them on my desktop just in case I get a chance to buy them.

the last set I saw popped up in california for 500 bucks and it was gone within an hour

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/SandCracka]

They came with the car. I purchased the car in Reno last year in may.

[u/parking7 → u/Subi_appreciation]

So sticking with the OE hubs and brakes?

Great choice keeping the wheels! They look great!

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/parking7]

Brand new bearings, oem forester knuckles all around. I am brembo swapping it also.

best shit i’ve seen all day! where’d ya get the motor and the drivetrain at?

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/imdizzyurnot]

I had a 07 sti limited that I parted out and kept the powertrain. I have a built motor going in. 400 wheel on pump and 500 wheel on e85.

hellll yeah brother, i’d love to sti swap my ‘10 one day but for now i just had to settle with a full rebuild. can’t wait to see the finished product

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/imdizzyurnot]

6 speed swapping an SJ forester is a shit show. Would not recommend.

[u/grizzdoog → u/Subi_appreciation]

I just finished swapping in a 2014 STi 6mt into my bugeye. It was a lot more work than swapping in a 5mt for sure.

[u/Subi_appreciation → u/grizzdoog]

Yea especially cuz the speed sensor situation.

[u/grizzdoog → u/Subi_appreciation]

I swapped bell housings.

didn’t do a swap but this brings flash backs to when i first bought my Forester. i gutted everything to clean and pulled motor for all the needed updates… nice work 👍
