Thought I'd start my own gallery of the things that I get upto when I'm bored or have too much time on my hands.

Firstly the Foz when I got it, but with new tyres thrown on

Then dropped with WRX struts/springs

New Bendix ultimate pads alround and a quick respray of the brakes

an STI 22mm sway bar in the back-Hands down the best money spent improvement ever!

[cpt kernow]

Then my leaky oil pump was causing drippy issues on the cambelt and exhaust, and what with the holidays coming up I had to get it fixed.

[cpt kernow]

And just last week i replaced the missing plastic undertray with an aluminium one of my own creation.

$50, a couple of hours, a jigsaw, some blocks of wood and a big hammer later this is what I've got

Now this wasn't for any offroad shinanigans other than some simple gravel protection but after reading this article ( Browser Warning )and thinking about the reason for the oem guard it makes sense. The temp gauge on the dash has now dropped by two marks when cruising.

Some of you may have noticed the snorkus lying on my garage floor, but I'm undecided about it's removal. It's only for CIA that it's out as I don't like the tiny pipe in the engine bay, If it was like a legacy with a scoop under the bonnet it would be ok. I'm fashioning a deflector and some baffles under the wing to create positive air pressure but limit any water spray ingress.

oooooooooooooooooooooo that undertray is great!!!

wel done!!!

[Guest]

+1 on the undertray love! Thats awesome Jamie! Any chance of you knocking a couple more of those out for other Fozzy owners in the club? Cost + labour + maybe a box of beers ;D

[cpt kernow]

could be done...I'm a little busy now but come winter when I'm a little more housebound then sure.

You get all your vandalism fixed?

This great little thread of Becca's will sort you out bro.

Jamie, Yes pretty much sorted out most of the Vandalism. Just have a few little loose ends (litterally) to sort out and then start saving for a respray will begin ...

[uwantsumbeef]

thanks for that, here is a quick video i made of my build so far which includes front mount, air intake, strut bar, exhaust blah blah

ill post some pics once photo bucket has finished its maintenece (how convenient)

[uwantsumbeef]

just got some new wheels and rubbers on it so will upload photos after the next time i wash it, was running 215/60/16s on the standard 16s but now running Adrenalines RE001 235/45/18s on Advanti Medusa 18x7.5

[cpt kernow]

very tidy, I like the IC mount without cutting up the bumper. Good work.

Did you think about mounting the intake inside the wing for cold air? Or why did you choose against it?

[uwantsumbeef]

im thinking about powder coating the pipes black to give it an even more stealth look as well as getting someone to design me a cold air box (any suggestions or any made one that could do one for me???) for the filter which will also be powder coated. Filter will need a box or a decent source of cold air because it does get quite toasty in there after a good blat around town

[cpt kernow]

That's a pretty damn tidy Foz.

[CMPLSV]

looks great!!

.... first time ive actually liked those wheels on a car!!

[uwantsumbeef]

thanks guys, yeah iv seen those wheels on everything from subarus to crappy corollas and had 2nd thoughts before buying them but when they came up on a TM auction for $500, i had to buy them. got some great rubber on them too.

also just got a STi pink letter badge which ill be swapping for the aerospec one on the front so keep posted for more pics

[Guest]

Riding a bit high at the moment, but trying to get that sorted as we speak (or type)

P.S Cheers to Becca for the "How To" post!

[Guest]

the black forester is quite nice. did you have to modify much to have a front mount intercooler. also just wondering your front grill can they go on most foresters cheers?

Nah not really, the core is 600x280 so it doesn't pop out the bottom of the bumper like some do, it just took heaps of shaving and cutting from behind to get it to fit over the intercooler. Had to shave a bit around where the spot lights were. I have seen people with front mounts who managed to put their spotlights back in but i think they were running a 600x300 IC which means the inlet and outlets on either side we lower and the pipes ran underneath the spotlights rather than right through them like mine does.

Other than that the kit went in pretty easily. It was a SF5 specific kit and although it didn't fit perfectly and was initially worried how the pipes laid out once it was all in i haven't had a problem with it.

I only presume my grill can go on any as i a got a few different styles when i brought the car from the car yard. Apparently it was imported with a few so got a different one which i can swap when i want.

[Guest]

Does any one know where I can get a front grill exactly like the black forester in the picture as I have a 2000 model and the front grill is ugly?

[Guest]

It is just an aerospec grill, same as on mine.

There was one one trademe a week or two ago.
