I've got an old vinyl cutting machine in my shed from when I used to make signs, I have the graphic software and Subaru look alike font, just need some spare time and ideas of layout and wording if anyone is interested in stickers.

Hi Guys I replaced the front struts in my Forester and took it to Ayres Tyre Service in Belmont http://www.ayrestyreservice.com.au/ for wheel alignment. I asked for all 4 wheels to be done. After a short wait watching TV in the waiting room he came back and said the rears didn't need doing only did ...

How much room between the top of the front tyre and the wheel arch have you got? On my GT with standard stocks I've got about 120mm space.

Yep, had to get some 5" chrome tip extensions and they sit about 3mm from the bottom of the bumper.

Paul (RSR555) is after a centre exhaust pipe and I have one here in Perth. Just wondered if anyone is heading down to rockingham could they drop it off at his workshop ?

If they do get caught the judges are too lenient on them, just give em a small fine and slap on the wrist. Bring back hardcore Freo prison and send em to jail.

Hey Jules I know know how busy it is to be a parent and I didn't want to harrass you or put any extra pressure on you. Yep a couple of weeks ago Our daughter was vomiting, couple days later Mum vomiting then a couple more days and me vomiting. Gotta love the family sharing bit. I'll call you, should...

I've found a pair of struts for sale but they are in Bunbury, Just wondered if any one in Bunbury or passing through Bunbury to Perth could pick them up for me and I could come and get them fom you in Perth?

Yep Toonga I think it was done for that reason to sell the car. He said he was a heavy machine truck eletrician. So he must have known about cars.

I have to share the stupidity of this. I recently bought a Forester(privately) and the front wheel hub bearing needed replacing it made the brakes rattle and made a loud noise. When I first drove the car there wasn't much brake noise but I noticed they didn't seem to pull up very sharply. Ok so I to...

Im still patiently looking.

I've passed the info from here onto her. Thanks.

She's got some nuerological disease and has lots of pain in her joints and muscles, hence the want for power steering and getting pwr steering put in .... too complicated for her to organize. Paint is a little hazy but nothing some cutback polish couldn't fix. She said she has had 2 mechanics recent...

Change of plans an the exhaust is no longer available, Just putting the word out I'm in the market for a WRX exhaust for my Forester.

I was talking to a retired old lady who wants to sell her 83 auto Leone sedan I think she said it had 120000km, she wants a small car with power steering, as she now finds the Leone to hard to turn. It looks in pretty good condition but she doesn't know how much to sell it for, I wouldn't have a clu...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for your offer niterida, yeah I was thinking if I got a different one I would have to get the TCU for it, I reckon you were very lucky with yours or we've all been hoaxed and most of them will just plug in and work. Yep Vincentvega mine has the screw on filter on the side, from what I've read...

Would anyone know or know where I can find out which other model Subarus would be suitable donors of an automatic transmission for a 1999 Forester GT?:confused: I presume it would have to come from another turbo 2L? I Know Niterida did a swap from 99 GT Foz to 03 Outback, but that was from turbo eng...
