Did some work yesterday

Liberty 3.0rb front rotors and calipers and rear calipers with GD wrx rear rotors

Fronts comparison 294mm left, 316mm right


Rear comparison 266mm bottom, 290mm top


Had to remove the rear dust covers which luckly enough could be done with a screw driver

So decided to try do a bit of work with the old girl today, as usual, needed a bit more foz love to get her going

 

 

After that debarcle, didn't do much fitted the sub and box properly (forgot pics) and then fried some electrics in the car

 

Drove it out and then parked it, and still even after all the issues she made me smile

 

 

But still the car needs some wide wheel love, the stockies just don't cut it anymore!

 

 

And as some might of noticed she still doesn't have a complete exhaust (partly cause it sounds sick to drive but also cause I cant find the time to get it done) but im close (so's the muffler!)

 

At this rate I may have it all finished by the HVC, got a tmic lined up, got a tune being written as I type, just gotta fit it all, sort some rims, lower the coils, wait for a massive package from Japan...

 

oh yer and then wash it!

Orange side indicators weren't factory on these?

 

Looks good anyway Scotty. What electrics did you fry?

[bigboyscottyb]

Na they are off my old outback, the clear indicators I think look a bit funny on the black I tinted a set of clear ones black but you can't see the indicator during the day

I tried to redo the DIY map to room light mod on ozfoz, I must of screwed something somewhere doing the DIY and a fried the central locking module that controls the interior light so no interior light when I open the doors now

[Morgan]

Haha yep I did that in my Outback then didn't learn and also did something similar to my Forester.

 

If it is the same problem, you might have to replace a little black box behind the glove compartment. Considering you have two SGs, it might be worth swapping them around to see if that is infact the faulty part.

 

Wreckers who know what the black box is might charge up to $200 for the part. However, I got mine for a tenna as my local had no idea

[bigboyscottyb]

I think ive wired something wrong as soon as i connected it it all shit itself

Oh well its not a necessity

[Morgan]

All it took for me was for the positive wire to slightly graze a ground and the whole system went koblamo!

 

FYI, if you swap the boxes around, you'll have to reprogram the key fobs. I wrote a DIY around here somewhere - not a hard job

[bigboyscottyb]

Unfortunately had to do that already!!!!

Latest aquisition

[Matt]

Nice rims! Love the scalloped centres

[El_Freddo]

Nice looking foz mate!

Those rims should look great on it once you've got them fitted!

A mate of mine has gone the otherway with his foz:



XT auto, goes awesome offroad!

Good to see a road hugging family member (I'm sure there's more of them out there!)

Cheers

[bigboyscottyb]

[Robert]

[Matt]

Haha thats where i pulled apart and rotated mine aswell

Garage is too dirty lol

[bigboyscottyb]

Yer for sure Matt, I just gotta find the time to get the exhaust done first so I can pink slip it!

Pfft who works on a car in the garage! Admittedly the wife went mental when she got home!

[Matt]

You have failed as you ensure you do it all before they get home...then rush around 5 mins before they arrive to make it seem like youve been doing housework all day hahahavavava
