Ahh, back when Subaru Forris were pretty! This one is extra pretty.

I had a 2000 Forester and regret selling it on a daily basis. (Metallic blue)

Vehicle looks great and welcome. :)

Welcome to the forum mate, looks like the Foz does belong here. That's quick 1/4 mile times for an off roader hey, good job.

Nice mate, I'm very jealous... I hate my Forester...
Is it auto or manual? It'd go hard with that motor ;) Did you buy your front and rear bar new?

Heres mine, I have a little more lift than you :)

2 inch strut tops all round and 1 inch taller rear springs. Went for taller rear springs as it levels out once the boat is hooked up.

Awesome looking foz mate!

Any plans for a dual range gearbox? I reckon that would be the cherry on the cake for this ride!

Harsh words Taza. I don't think you really hate it - yes it's given you grief but I'm sure you've given it plenty of grief too. I've been there with Ruby Scoo and almost gave up on her. Now check her out ;)

Cheers

Dunno about the dual range. Ive broken enough turbo boxes as it is. It only see's beach and mud and both usually taken with speed. I am keen to build one of my busted boxes with a front lsd however.

Great looking Foz. Bit faster than the other SUVs/4WDs you find offroad :D

Nice job on the intercooler...do you have any protection underneath it, forward of the bash plate?

I'm jealous too lol ;)

C'mon Taza, I know you've had more than your share of probs, & you're only blowing off some steam, but you'll soon have a real beast when you've finished... :cool:

Very nice Foz.. love the stock NA bonnet.. wolf in sheeps clothing :cool:

Mud is fun but too much work afterwards :(

What's your rear bumper off? and have you got more pics of it?

Its an earlier Subaxtreme rear bumper for the Foz.
As for the mud we usually get a fair bit of rain up here this time of year so I leave it parked outside.
