Forrester GT Mag needed & - Perth-WRX.com

I finally decided to drag the old whore out from under it's tarp after sitting there for 3&1/2 yrs, got it running and painted so I can turn it into an off roader but I need a forester GT mag like the ones on the car as a spare & possibly a set of good early forester struts if they fit and are longer than WRX ones.

I'll either buy the mag or swap it for 2 16" WRX wheels like the one on the carrier, not the greatest but good for spares

She is looking good there Tom.
Dunno if this helps you. http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale/24909-forester-gt-mags.html

How loud is that exhaust? Got a stock cat back you can have if you need it to get over pits.

Sweet, sounds like just what I need, then I can stick to 205/50's as the max you can go without a swerve test is 2" apparently, so you know if the trailing arm? is longer too? The one that goes from the rear end .. forward on each side as I don't want the wheels going forward in the wheel well.

Yeah I need to get a stock turbo back, the system on it sounds great & not really as loud as you'd expect, selling the whole system SS dump, mild steel center 3" TBE for $450, Apexi dunk is worth $750 alone to replace & it's like new.

I have a set of stock 02 Forrester rims if you want them cheap.

Nah I just need "one" identical to the ones on the car as a spare, they have a different offset to the WRX ones & the further out the better as the wheel carrier is not designed to use the bottom spoiler & the wheel is just touching it when the carrier is closed....even with a spacer, but thanks for the offer.

It's purely going on for wank factor as it adds about 50kg to the back of the car but it will give me a good storage area for tools & snatch straps etc in the wheel well

Here is the original car they came on......JDM only, looks hideous with the cover on the spare.
