Hoping to move the car.

Anyone in WA who may be interested drop me a line on 0410317012.

I'm "motivated" to sell.

Hi All, 1997 Forester for sale. 287,000k's Full 2'' lift kit (********* kit) HD raised pedders springs 2'' straight through exhaust Full service history Yokohama Geolander AT/S New Koni rear shocks (18months old) Inside is in great condition, only driver seat cover has any damage. Needs; Clutch with...

Hi Dan, I went through this process on my 97 Foz about 18 months ago. If you want to see the end results let me know. I'm either in Scarbs or Bicton. I went for the Australian option - ********* Performance. Jeff is fantastic and provided lots of help. The raised HD springs will not fit in the rear ...

I would have been there. Family commitments both days.

280,000 on on Betty - my 97 Foz. No oil or water usage. Original clutch as far as I can tell.

I keep toying with a new car - but if Betty wont die I cant bring myself to replace her.

I want it!!!

Best job in the world.

I got a full 2 inch lift though mine. Body blocks and Strut lift. Taller HD springs and ATR tyres.

Slower than stock - seems to get about 10l-100km fuel.

Goes good.

I have Pedders springs, and a full crossbreed lift. I would recommend what I have.

Update:
Hit the magic 450k to the tank. New O2 sensor seems to be helping. Time to take it for a Highway run to see if it is back to its old self.

I would look for a 70hp - 90hp.

These get used alot on work boats at Marina's so they turn up second hand quite a bit.

I'll come for a cruise on the Saturday. Can't stay overnight.

Update;

Took an hour but the O2 sensor is now new. It has never been replaced, looks well knackered. Finally gave in and got some triflo on the thread and out she came.

I'll be calling you in a week Paul, good to catch up and get the car sorted.

Update; Roof basket gone and Upper engine clean has been done. Don't have the correct stuff to do the O2 sensor. Currently getting about 410-430 per 45L tank, which is up 40-50k's Stoked. Engine is feeling smoother so I am happy. Haven't been on any long trips as work has stolen all my previous week...

Impressive.

You got some skills bro.

please tell me you have a link to that!

Got an ACA (I think) 02 sensor for $125 - Auto Pro

Bosch was nearly $200

Genuine $470...

Upper engine clean has been done.

Ordered a new O2 sensor - due tomorrow

Spare tyre now in the correct place thanks Taza.

Decided to take off the roof basket as i wasn't really using it. Now to see if the fuel economy changes.

Hi Paul, No problems. I totally understand. Whatever you think may help, got lots of return Kal trips this year so the last thing i want is 300k to a tank... So i now have upper engine cleaner - can someone advise a non mechanical person where is a convenient vacuum hose off the inlet manifold.. yes...

Thanks for the advice. the tyre guys told me 38-40psi for those tyres... will be reduce psi tomorrow!

As for the super charger im interested. until someone makes a decent 4x4 in a similar size im sticking with my foz.

PS that is a rad tent set up!
