Not been on here for a while...

So here's a few pictures and vids of the Foz...

As it was when I picked it up from the dealers.

Then went camping

Wired up some driving lights and painted the wheels

DIY skid plate came next

Then painted it

 

[MDG]

Had a go at some fancy stickers, but took 'em off after a week.

Rear shocks from an SG went in

DIY mud guards

Fitted this from an SG FSTI

Got rid of the lights and fitted a bumper guard and changed the grille

Fitted a JDM rear spoiler, Cooper Discoverer ATR's and tinted the rear windows.

Sorted the exhaust manifold with one of these to get the burble.

And finally, new Speedline alloys which I sprayed a metallic anthracite.

I think that's it for now:iconwink:.

Sweet ride, should have put the checker side up to slide over things better. My shoei helmet is metallic anthracite - awesome colour, looks good on the wheels too.

Sexy ride!

Great job customising your Foz. That skid plate looks great...awesome coverage!

Did you notice any change with the headers? Performance or just that great burble?

Looking great MDG

 

[MDG]

It's given me a bit of burble, but nothing like as much as I want. Not sure how to get more bass out of it. Maybe if i change the OEM centre section for a wider bore as on the STI rear back box. Bit sick of spending money on it for now though.

Having said that......I quite like the look of a snorkel. :iconwink:

Oh, and I quite fancy an Outback.

Cheers,
mdg.

Love your Forester mate, it looks really good :biggrin: Just needs some lift in it

Did the new muffler bolt straight up? Was it new or used?

 

[MDG]

It was new. Bought it on ebay. The bloke changed the whole exhaust straight after he bought the FSTI. I won it for £1.04. Bargain of the century.

The hangers are all in the correct positions but the joint flange is rotated by about 1/4 of an inch, so just widened the bolt holes a little.

Thanks for all the comments. It just needs a leather interior in it now. Kids plus jam and mashed banana does nothing for the cloth seats.

Forgot to put this pic in. I wired up some driving lights to the roof bars/cycle carrier which work on full beam.

NO WAY!!! I'd say thats the bargain of the millenium!

Yeah, the bloke was pretty upset. Took all my effort to stop grinning when I walked away with it.

Thinking about putting together a cold air intake now. Not much good for wading but should help the low end torque (I think). There aren't that many river crossings in Sheffield anyway.
