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

 

nice, very nice.


I've a silver Sport (non turbo)

 

Is it an automatic?

 

thanks you! it is automatic transmission.

very pleased with the performance tbh!
so noticed during braking wheel was vibrating and judering so changed the discs and pads and jobs a good un safe to say they needed changed lol..
also sorted the window wipers out nice and fresh

 

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 mate really happy with the car and just cleaning it up with new parts and aftermarket,I have not seen a forester round my way ever lol!! yea the sti box was silly quiet! did you got for the cat back??

got rid of those hideous rubber floor mats for some sti mats looks kool!
also polished the headlights as they where yellow
has a very oem boost gauge fitted along with turbo timer

 

Looks very nice, like the changes you have done

 

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

 

drives like a brand new car now love it!
changed the coolant today old was like fish smell lol

 

so today I fitted some coilovers and over the moon with the result!handles amazing now compared to the scary boat mode it has been in lol
also fitted a straight pipe mid centre decat pipe sounds so much better with having the afterburner back box!

 

so much needed an alignment after the coilovers it was badly out due to the huge drop lol.. so off to revo...job done! removed that hideous 390mm momo bus steering wheel and put a genuine momo boss and genuine 350mm omp wheel drives like a new car amazing what a wheel change can do!
