H-Top's MY01 GT Forester

Post by H-top » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:16 pm

G'day All,

Well, here i am again with a new car, it seems i change every 6 months.

I picked up a MY01 GT Forester Auto in totally standard trim besides the 2.5 zorst with 255k KM.

So far I love it, I live in Brisbane and commute from Carindale to the City every day and the auto suits me fine, I actually searched for one!

Plans? 0.9 Bar, Ported TD04, silicone intake as the original is perished, MY00 WRX wheels and a few electronic comforts and gadgets.

I like the clearance and will be using it for transport and some camping.

Just check before you buy the WRX wheels, I think the offset for the foz is slightly different.
Nice car though :-)

Cheers Chris

Looks in very good condition and bog stock. Even that zorst doesn't look out of place.

Most GT Fozzies need to be lifted as they have lower height that the standard Foz but yours doesn't look that low? Maybe someone changed the struts/springs over?

Not sure what the plates mean? but the closest I could think would have been 8OX4R
