Here we have a very special Japan import 2001 Subaru Forester STI II Type-M. Known as the "Ultimate Forester". It is production number 269 out of just 800. It was imported to Canada just 3 years ago. From the auction sheet in the photos we can see it had about 73,000 KM on it in Japan at a 4B. The large majority of these have stayed in Japan.
The car has been garage kept for its time in Canada & only put 10,000 KM on it in those 3 years. It runs & drives great, made sure to start it & drive it frequently.
The engine was enhanced with a special sport ECU along with both intake & exhaust upgrades over the stock Forester. Producing 250 PS (247 bHP) & 309 Nm (228 Lb-Ft of torque). It also had upgraded struts & coil springs.
When you don’t want to compromise between power, comfort & practicality. With lots of passenger & storage space in this car, it still drives like a smaller car with lots of power & excellent handling capabilities.
