my fresh JDM 01 forester sti progress thread(picture heavy)
well finnaly picked my new car up and really pleased with it.. needed a GOOD clean inside and out side jeeeeez.. but base is very very clean for its age its actually cleaner than most newish cars i have seen, forgot how fresh imports really are my glanza was this clean at a grade 4
so give it a good clean inside and out when got home and polished! removed most little stickers on but kept the subtle ones on and jap related for more jdm points just little bits new wipers etc etc
jacked the car up really clean underneath as well no rust at all..
now i did notice a burning smell from the engine so checked it out to find the lovley cv grease had exploded every where causing it to smell awful it had been repaired but they did not clean the mess up was every where hate that stuff haha!
day 2: fitted a wrx after burner exhaust sounds like a scooby should sound now fitted really well actually since been a impeza system just had to use longer rubbers love the sound thow amazing!
on the next list MUST get some coilovers and its so booooooaty and high so here it is

Very nice, A nice clean example.
It's good to see more and more Foresters popping up.
the mods so far are coming along nicely. The standard exhaust is way to quiet.
I've just fitted an HKS system to my 04 FSTI and love it, just the right level of burble

cheers mates..tbh I prefer the way the exhaust sits like this so win win
done service on the car as fluids looked like they needed replaced!
drained the bloody transmission fluid thow instead of the engine oil!
3 facts: oil filter and trans filter-same colour!same size! sump seemed it had been resealed so my guess is some one has taken that off thinking was oil sump lol
ah well now have smooth gear changes along with peace of mind been changed
purchased a hks ssqv from here and sounds very sweet
also bought some yellow bulbs from usa very bright
