[wrxtuner82]

Nice looking, I'll be lookin forward to seeing the other mods

[My Name]

a little update. I had the BBS's on for a while but had to take the back off because the had almost no tread.

I ordered a STS.

And today I made my own rally flaps. Came out good for the first time. Cost about $23 to make.

[Berge56]

nice.... should be an easy install since your swapping out the whole rear subframe.

[My Name]

It now sounds way better thanks to some new headers.

Now i just got done putting that cat back on it that came off the sti.

[98Wagoon]

vids of the exhaust!!! I'll be running a similar exhaust on my foz and want to know how it will sound with a header on it

[bigd_wright]

Where did you get the headers and how much? I would like to give my Toaster some rumble...And i will need some sort of catback too...:shrug:

[98Wagoon]

ebay ftw.. Ive seen sets just like those ^ for $109.. I swear Im not ordering one friday... :hide:

nice so it sounds like an actuall subaru?? maybe we can get a group buy for these :lol:

[My Name]

they came from ebay i think it was 130 something shipped. way better fitment than the ones i bought for the sti.

it sound great lots of rumble, it was to loud for me the way it was so i have a silencer in it now. it was giving me a headache going down the highway.

it took some welding to make the cat back that was in the sti to fit on the forester. Mine was even harder because i had to remake the hangers because of the tow hitch.

i will try to get some vids up this weekend.

[98Wagoon]

I have a feeling its the same one Im looking to get. ~109 for buy it now and then 30 shipped. I cant wait.

[My Name]

[My Name]

So the rear disc swap is now done but have to fix the dent in the fender from someone hitting me. I think this may of happened while at the mixer but i didnt see it till Monday morning.

I am also in the need for a right rear abs sensor because i broke mine trying to get it out so if any one has one they will sell cheep send me a PM.

[etaks99rs]

I'd like to hear the noises she makes!

[civic si hb]

Looks like a fun build, can't wait to hear it some time :)

[Joe]

[My Name]

love those fogs :up:

So updates.

now have brand new vented LGT rear brakes and slotted rotors.

Home made mid pipe with no resonator and STi axle back. I am loven the sound this thing makes now.

On the 4th rear O2. Tell you what the universal one's suck. Got 2 weeks of the 1st one they replaced it with another one that only last 2 months. Now have a brand new OEM replacement denso one.

Now the biggest shocker. A few weeks ago I replaced the alt p/s belt believe it not, it was the original one. So it got me thinking about the timing belt. So a few days ago while I had nothing to do at work like normal I took a peek in there. Behold its original belt with 250k on it.

Today I got a chance to pull it out and here is what it looks like.

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/390003_2082445439579_1798408027_1377282_340150301_ n.jpg




Now it sits till the new t-belt kit shows up.

[Berge56]

Wow!!!

[Seraphinwolf]

Scarry ticking time bomb... :hide:

[98Wagoon]

Holy poops!

[squeethebee]

:lol: Awesome find.

[My Name]

All new timing belt kit in there. Replaced the MAFS with a new one from the dealer. Some how the dealer had the lowest price on the MAFS.

Went back to the stock air box also as I think having the intake on there made the old MAFS go bad.

Now to start searching for new front brakes, would like to go with Brembos.

[Berge56]

What about WRX brakes? Would be a nice upgrade from the stockers?

I thought about doing WRX brakes... there is to many choices.

Another story about the Fozzy. I go out side x-mas morning and I am looking at the front of my forester and I notice that the pates on there are not my plates. I think WTF some one at work was messing with me and swapped the plates on me. After a few calls and find out that no one at work did anything I call the state police to report that my plates where stolen and replaced with another set.

About half hour later a trooper shows up at my house and I tell him whats going on. So he runs the plates that ended up on my car and what they came up with is that the plates on my car came off a green 06 impreza that was reported stolen from a house that was burglarized in Franklin. So to find out at some point while I was doing my x-mas shopping or at work some switched the plates.

I just can't believe this **** is for real and I was vary hesitant about calling the police but vary glad I did. The state trooper that showed up was super cool. I hope that these douche bags get what is coming to them.

[Berge56]

Wow that sucks. :(

[apkarian100]

Wow, that's stupid. At least no damage was done to your car.

[My Name]

So going to get vanity plate for it now and locking plate screws. Thinking about going with FOZZY for a plate.

[Berge56]

I like on both accounts.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Shiux]

Do you have better pics of the fog lights/grill? I just mounted some Hellas in the same place, but my grill isn't modified yet. I was thinking about doing something kind of similar, kind of different.

My mother runs the same fozzie, in red. The thing sounds like it could **** the bed any day now though. :(

Would she want to sell cheap if it does?

Most definitely good sir. And I believe its a model year or two newer than this. Different tail lights. Same front end.
