forester

what the Japanese get up to with their Foresters. All links need a translator unless you speak japanese of course. I use http://translate.google.com.

Probably a fair few of you know of this guys site (seen it mentioned here before):
http://ikomayama.web.infoseek.co.jp
Goes into loving detail on everything he does to his FSTI
The BLOG is a good place to start, and also:
http://ikomayama.web.infoseek.co.jp/...urumaijiri.htm
Goes through all his Mods.
He also catalogues the differences between SF5 STI and SG9 plus SG9C and SG9D,E,F (the faclift FSTI) here:

A lot of the Forester journals in Japan seem to buy stuff from these two places. The excellently named Garage Nob:

and Kit Service
http://www.kit-service.com/
Who also keeps a record of cars that visited and the Mods
http://www.kit-service.com/msforestersg.htm

Minkara website seems to be the number one car journal website in Japan, You get some pretty flashy Foresters on there (http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...8/profile.aspx) and also some more subtle stuff.

The F-List seems to be some sort of owners club and has a useful list of owners cars, some with photos and more info if you click:

http://www.club-f-star.com/list5/index.html

and finally:
F-Master some sort of special track day club for SF5's
