Thanks mate, I have a 2013 passat estate as my daily which is bigger than the forester so fortunately I don't use it as a work horse lol..
Off the back of the video I got offered 20k for it from a scoobynet member but I kindly declined as I dont really want to sell it at tho mo but he may end up with it in the future.

I agree with the rest of the chaps,great video.All I watch on tv is cars,bikes , racing , mainly on you tube. As soon as I saw that reg number, I thought this will be good as I have followed all the progress you have made with the car
Sounded absolutely brilliant. I tried to convince my missus , that this is the car she needs.
Her answer .......” but then we would have two gas guzzlers”


My reply ..........”and?”

Luckily my Mrs won't drive mine although she used to drive my old hawk STI.
Come to think of it I hardly drive it, I've not used it since the video was made!

The Foz is now under cover In My garage and sorned for the winter.
I very nearly sold it to Ricky the week before last I even removed my private number plate ready for him to collect it but when it came to it I couldn't let it go !
So over Christmas Im going to get a few bits done to it which I've been meaning to do like fit the AOS which I've purchased!

Looking forward to next spring when I can actually start to get some use out of it.

Otherwise it would be typical than, builds owners can not afford hence a sale to recover money.
seen a lot of work on a lot of cars during a years with "oh" and "ah"how good subarus are ( mostly ex 2.5l owners)but when build finish they do not drive them at all and sell within few weeks.

If I couldn't afford it it would go in a heart beat, but fortunately it was never about the money ,he offered me a very good price that alot of you would say I'm crazy for not accepting.
I will probably regret it in the long run but for now it's staying

Having been in the car again I can say you made the right decision. It's a beast and a stunner mate. Keep it for a bit longer and enjoy it next year.

Then we can go out for a drive somewhere together when the weather is decent again.

Thanks mate, sounds good to me.

Finally fitted an RCM track attack catch can to the Foz and deleted the PCV, I have an RCM group N sump fitted with the return to sump inlet but I've not actually returned it to sump as of yet.
Sorry I didn't take any pics.

Absolute beast of a car mate, been keeping an eye on your build for a while now. Glad you’ve decided to hang onto it. I’m not that far from Andy and own a 2015 sti like him, hoping to see this at some point this year.

Smithys STI

Thanks mate,I'm glad I didn't sell it!
I just had a quick look at your build thread ,lovely car bet you can't wait to get it back! I so wish my engine bay was as clean and tidy as yours!
I hate cleaning cars I've had mine nearly 3 and a half years and have never even polished it.. I just don't have the patience lol...

Danjo

Thanks bud, yeah can’t wait to get it back! Ha ha thanks, I’m just a bit of a tart so tend to keep the engine bay cleaner than the outside .

Just dug the old girl out of the garage taxed and filled her up with v power.
let's see if I can do more than the 136 miles I did in it last year!

lockheed

iTrader: (1)

Is it fluke you did it on the same day last year?

Smithys STI

iTrader: (1)

I think I taxed it in March last year.
How's yours going?

Well i had some oil control problems, as in consumption untill Alyn sold me some glaze buster which worked a treat! Haven't had to top up in 500 miles odd.

Smithys STI

iTrader: (1)

Never heard of the stuff ,glad it seems to have worked tho!
mine doesn't seem to use any oil but that's probably because it never gets used
