Beatrush/Laile radiator cooling panel



PMD blanking plate. This covers the hole that feeds into the guard where the OEM air intake was, blocking the flow of warm engine bay from getting to the CAI.



Also serviced it last week. Oil change, STI oil filter, gearbox oil, diff oil, power steering fluid, bled the brakes and replaced with genuine subaru 4 dot, fuel filter, upper engine cleaner, blitz panel filter and had the injectors cleaned. Just need to change the spark plugs and flush the cooling system and she’s good to go

i bought it as a cruiser

These are the plans for the future:

STI TMIC
STI Injectors
Fuel Pump
VF30 or VF34
3" Dump
CAI
ECU Tune

Apparently with these mods i'll see around 200-210kw atw which will be plenty for a daily cruiser

Cruser not a performance machine?
With 200+KW!
WTF!




Nice Aek.
Like a said before, not a fan of the Foz but that thing could make me turn.

Well done.

Nice one mate.

Looks very clean.

Sounds like it will be a rather fun cruiser

[BigWillieStyles]

Keeping with the wagon shape. Very nice choice. I have been eyeing these off lately. How does it compare to the Legacy?

yeah tbh i've never been to fussed with them in the past either but as soon as i saw this it had me thinking. i've been mulling over it for a couple of months which gave me time to warm to the idea. aesthetically i don't feel there's much/anything to change, just a few little performance tweaks here and there to get a bit more out of her lol

haha yeah man it's funny. before the legacy i was never a wagon fan. not even a little bit. the legacy really won me over though and now i love them. so practical.

it's very different. let me just say that the 10 year age difference is very obvious lol. As i mentioned above, foresters have never really interested me much in the past but i've seen a few around lately that have helped change my mind

[SAV84C]

Congrats on the buy Aek!Looks schmick! Ive always had a soft spot with these... I was lookin at gettin one of these when i bought my car but they were a bit out of my price range...Hope u enjoy it! Hopefully i can my mrs 2 turn n like em soon, so i can update, she hates wagons thinks they are family cars lol

[ReDMaN_82]

nice mate.. im like a lot of the posts on here and have never liked foresters but that is without a doubt the sexiest forester i have seen easily..

Very nice car! congrats.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

My GT was what got me into Subaru's. I love Foresters, especially in black. If you need any help mate I can finally be of technical assistance to someone on here, Foresters are my bag baby.

Cheers,
Nik

[acres]

That is a stunning car, you must be very pleased. Congrats

[Morgan]

Congrats Aek she looks awesome!

[ben_STi-wagon]

very nice aek, can wait to see it round the beaches.


Oh, my mum drives a foz..........


Thanks, ben.

[Alex]

Congrats on the new purchase, Aek.


Not a fan myself, but If you've been swayed, possibly I could be too.

I've always seen Foresters as requiring way too much money and mods to get them anywhere near an acceptable standard... but I guess this one has already had some coin thrown at it.

In black, it looks mean, but it'll be fun keeping clean!!

Looking forward to checking it out!!

[alexxx]

VF's are too small for the 2.5!! must take you for a run in mine!

looks nice mate, do some research on the injectors as mate of mine is currently upgrading turbo and seem to be smaller for the my04 model, 05 model might already have the 550's so could save you some hassle there!

[Jovi]

Very nice Mate... Enjoy Always loved the Fozza's

[Mosti]

Nice work Aek. It looks super clean

Those rims are Axis Hiro's or a knock off version of them

[AussieTemplar]

That looks amazing Aek. Like Chris said, was tempted to one buy one these instead of the lib, but they were too expensive. I'm in love with the rims.

[Scott]

nice buy mate,
looking forward to checking it out

[legacy rsk]

very nice aek well done

[Scuba-Roo]

Looks sick Aek! Can't wait to see it around Wakefield

[Hypnotic]

This looks tops Aek! have fun with it.
