I don't think I have driven the Foz since last July I have not even driven it since fitting the calipers in December.
But I have just had the front bumper and headlight surround things re painted due to stone chips and some lacquer peel, the front lip spoiler repaired and painted matt black as it had a crack in it where I caught it on the ground going up my drive!! Also had the scuttle panel painted Matt black as it had previously been painted by hand and just looked a bit crap.
Just need the weather to get better and I will start using it again.
Spent some more money on the old Girl!!
A pair of Cobra bucket seats and M2 motorsport rails.
Only driven it around the block since fitting them, hope I get used to the driving position otherwise they will be coming back out!

The old girl is getting a power run on the dyno on Tuesday evening just out of curiosity to find out what power it's running before I pull the engine for the big build!!
I want to get on with this asap but I've got a kitchen project on at the mo and the wife says that comes before the car!! (Bloody women!)
But hopefully get on with it over the next few months
So a few weeks ago the car went on the Dyno and made 316BHP.
The next day I pulled the engine and fitted an Engine tuner built 2.35 stroker lump.
I purchased the engine from an friend/work colleague who had the engine built some years ago to go in his 2003 Impreza STI but he never used it so I purchased it from him.
EJ22 closed deck short block with under piston oil squirters supplied by RCM.
Genuine Subaru 2.5 crankshaft.
Cosworth main and big end bearings.
Cosworth Con rods.
Wiseco forged pistons.
Arp block casing bolts.
Cosworth head gaskets.
Cosworth 11mm high tensile head stud kit(unfortunately not 14mm).
Cosworth +1mm Inlet valves.
Cosworth exhaust valves.
Cosworth duel valve springs/ titanium caps.
Cosworth S2 cam shafts.
Ric Wood CNC ported and polished heads.
Cosworth cam belt and belt guide.
RCM baffled sump
Killer B oil baffle windage tray.
GT spec Wrapped headers.
RCM parallel fuel rails
Injector dynamics 1000cc injectors
Fuel lab fuel pressure regulator.
JT inovations wiring harness (for cam sensor wiring)
The Engine is in and running but has only been ran up to temp to check for leaks and to bleed the cooling system it was then switched off and the mineral running in oil drained and refilled.
I've actually now fallen out of love with this car at the moment and not even looked at it recently, i think it's because of all the money I have spent on it over the last 2 years and it still needs more .
My next step is to buy the link ECU and have it mapped,I'm going to run it for a while on the standard turbo and top mount (due to funds and a bloody kitchen to pay for) then decide what route to go...so that's where I am with it at the mo

Since i bought my first Fsti i not bought any other car , i’m a hoarder got three now lol , i’ve now managed to buy all four fsti colours , the interiors changed slightly over models ,plus bigger wing mirrors , the earlier shape steering rack appears better , the earlier model bumper makes it easier to get the lights off as you don’t have to remove it to get the lights out , only down side is no cruise control which can be fitted but it’s pricy to do , only mods i’ve done is coilovers exhaust sports cat re map and fuel pump plus more security and a tracker , no turbo lag up to 35 mpg , and goes like a stabbed rat plus four wheel drive what more do you need 👍😁🤣
