I feel like a new man, I got a new camera...

A good mate of mine offered me the same model I once had at a crazy price (Almost free), he bought his a month after I bought mine a few years ago. I had been itching to get my car dirty and get some photos but decided to do some video too. Due to dust I left it in its waterproof housing most of the time and as you will see I am glad I did. What to do on your day off, go for a drive and remember my old stomping grounds. This time no GPS (Stolen) but topo maps and brain skills got me through.

Found some lovely tracks and some insane ones, tried some of the latter and failed a few. The Uriarra section has been 'Gated' and blocked off most of the fun sections I remember so headed up East West rd to the top of the ranges. Mt Corree is still closed for vehicle acess due to road conditions, Two Sticks rd does traverse some interesting areas though (Including the Powerline trail). After crashing my car it was good to get some confidence back offroad, this is the ultimate fire trail Forester!

Be good to get a few members up here for a day or two...

Headers to suit ( Extractors )
2" Doughnut
Flange plate
2.5 Hi Flow Cat
2.5 Sports System
Tucked Exhaust ( Axle Back )
K&N Hi Flow Air Filter

Those are the only engine or engine bay mods done to my car since purchase. Pretty sure they are equal length headers with the flange plates and donut recreating the boxer sound. The rest is Lukey, nice and throaty under gun. Probably lost a bit of pressure going to 2.5" over 2.25" but the result is a far improvement from standard. Seriously thinking of being the guinea pig for Raptor and putting a supercharger in, **** its only money (Yeah I know, I hate money too so spend it lots).

Pretty happy with the whole setup, now for bigger tyres... :)
 
Wait, does DO NOT ENTER mean WELCOME down under? :raspberry::lol: Nice pics and video! I do have to admit though, I was waiting to see some rally action, especially on that hairpin turn :poke: :iconwink: What type of camera do you use?
 
Forest is closed in 2 weeks time so I scouted it out :)

My driving skills are still in check after the accident so taking it easy :p

Canon G7 digi cam, set to 640p x 30fps in video mode :)

Oh are you sure they are not unequel length, if you got new extractors/ headers then they probably are. Sounds great though, ahahah very keen to see how the supercharger works!

yep my BFG's go on, on Tuesday! Can't wait!
