Subaru torque vectoring only used for 2015 and later Outback, Legacy, WRX, and STi

no Forester leh

 

Looks like the 2016 FXT will get it.

 

Subaru has also fiddled with the SUV’s suspension settings, reduced the steering-gear ratio from 15.5:1 to 14.0:, and added active torque vectoring for turbocharged models.

Secured the COE... now waiting for delivery expected in 1-2 weeks time. Car likely to reach by next week.

 

Excited about it. shall stop reading about the FL that is upcoming =( and enjoy the new ride =)

 

 

Can i check if any one retune the ECU to get higher horse without accompanying mode? worth the money? Secondly will MI detect it?

 

Was told that the engine could have been around 280 HP but detuned for local fuel 95 purpose. If i always pump 98/v power, possible to uptune it?

 

Thanks for sharing

Turbocharged

Looks like they removed the sun roof?

Kinda useless in Singapore anyway.

 

Sunroofs and roof rails are optional for JDM Forester XTs.

As for the export version, expect them to be standard.

The new headlamps are a great improvement to the look.

 

The current JDM lamps are abit different from export lamps.

JDM lamps have 2 tone masking which makes it sportier. Export one are pure chrome.

 

Let's hope the FL lamps we get are the same.

There's a few running on piggyback racechips.

One workshop already offers a ECU reflash package from ECUtek.

coming from a car without sun roof, having the sunroof is definitely nice to have... Not opening the roof at all but the car without the sunshade is bright and nice to drive.

 

It comes standard for the forester XT in Singapore, so already factor in.. Not as if it's an extra option that will cost extra 3k.. No option at all to reduce price

When you pull back the roof cover, it may be bright for the cabin but it also means people can see what you are doing inside clearly too. :ph34r:

Took delivery on 8th Aug 2014. The letter indicated recall affecting 485 units (exclude WRX/STI) with YOM 2013. However, mine YOM is 2014.

Turbocharged

wonder if existing Foresters can retrofit the new LED units... if they have adaptive function, probably not.

its good to have but will need to get used to.. My brother has a Mazda CX-5 2.5 that have this function.. Driving on a total darkeness roads overseas quite irritating to me.. Bec the light beam keep moving and it's always moving up and down if not left and right from the opposite cars' beam.
