welcome to the update news 2025 at the bottom center


how you do it that grandpa's old forester becomes a real japan beast


model forester sf production date 04/22/1998 from first series 07 / 97-06 / 98

engine power 90 KW / 122 PS petrol four-cylinder boxer engine 2.0 liter permanent four-wheel drive via central differential front / rear 50:50, manual transmission 2x5 forward gears with gear reduction

buy an old one and then look carefully

first body check

height of the front and rear wheels from the floor to the top. the forester sf have automatic mechanical level control (rear axle)

often they were replaced by shock absorbers during maintenance and the forester hangs by the rear

next body check

grandpa washed and polished. but the old foresters are built high with level regulation. always spray in there. also car wax.

since grandpa didn't know that, disassemble your forester and you will probably find this:

you don't see it from the outside. when it's repaired, cut the fairing in three pieces. then you can make inspection easier
