bratman18 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 So I sold my RS today. I had it two years and over all it was a great car, and I loved it. But, the head gaskets were leaking, and I really need a family car. The two door didn't cut it for me, my wife, our daughter, and the dog. So if all works out, we will be getting a 2004 Forester XT. I will definitely post pics if and when I get it. I'll miss it, but it will be staying "in the family" The new owner is on mainelysubarus.com a local Subaru forum I'm part of. He has lots of funds and plans on putting Forester struts on it and making kind of a rally car out of it for his own personal use. And it is currently sitting at a garage getting the head gaskets done, so it will have a good home, and I will most likely still get to see it and even work on it.

Turbone Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sad to see it go, but family comes first. Get some pics of the Forester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I hope you got some parting pictures of your RS. Luckily there is a huge market for the 98-01 2.5RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durania Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 What kind of shape was your hood scoop in? Mine is losing chunks of clear coat every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 This is mine last week before getting windows tinted, it was raining hard then too. Figured I would give your RS a good send off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Which leads to the question, if I were to buy a blue RS . . . would it rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Which leads to the question, if I were to buy a blue RS . . . would it rain? :lol:Yeah it seems that way. Subaru360- The forester is actually for sale by Gabe, the guy you got the front clip from. Durania-yeah the hood scoop and the vents were pealing badly.

Bucky92 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Congrats Jason!! good deal. I want to get rd of my Legacy and get a Forester..not happy with the power output of the EJ22 on my 95..with the way traffic is around here..slow is not an option. The Foresters are awesome..have everything you need.. power and room!! ( I need the room for the dogs..they arent allowed in my Impreza ) Cant wait to see the pics when you pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Foresters are nice, I kinda want to sell my '99 OWB and get a forester. I know someone who stuffed an ej25 in the back of a forester because he doesn't have a truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 LOL we have stuffed Legacy trannys in the back of legacies..I have hauled many EA82s in my Loyale....Subes are great for carrying thier own replacement parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, I'm really looking forward to getting it! I already test drove it and it went great, but has plenty of room for improvement!! Which is so much easier in a turbo, and the 2.5 turbos that come in these Foresters are really strong and dependable motors, nothing like the EJ25's. I also am looking forward to all the room for the family. I will post some pics when I get it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I got it!! It's awesome, I just want to drive it.....A LOT!!! I'll get some more pics when I get a chance:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an nice addition to your collection. I'll definitely come over and see it sometime when my life settles down a bit. Things have been a bit insane lately around here. BTW, the guy who put the ej22 in the back of his forester was lobstah on MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I made the trip home with 4 snow tires, a set of stock roof racks, a grill, two EA backing plates, a do barrier, and a full RX body kit!! Lots of room, and the seats weren't layed down!! Yeah, lemme know when you wanna come have a look! Anytime I'm home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
