tidy SF mate! me likey

[00libertyrx]

looks smick mate, think i might have been following you at some point on saturday, i remember my mate pointing out the forester tailight sticker. needs some window tinting

[Jamo33]

Thanks guys, yea i definitely agree with the window tinting. I think you were following me too...until a certain drop of gears and fang past hahahaha
Although i think the mods have come to the end now...maybe some small ones, but otherwise i think i may have finished, GT will be coming eventually

[00libertyrx]

i know what you mean, but youll find something and be like i want it and so the cycle will continue lol i never thought id spend so much on mine but i love it. you still rockin p plates ?

[Jamo33]

Still rocking the green p's yea. But a new project has arisen and i will soon have 3 foresters.....so i do have the choice to do mine up. But i'd rather leave as is now...and swap over to a turbo.
The main reason im going to stop on mine is that the only thing really left is getting the turbo engine dropped in and moving on from there. But as my car has been written off its value is very low!
So on to a better car where mods might actually pay off you know?

[00libertyrx]

yeah i get ya. being only 4months of my fulls should have already had them but i was lazy. ill either be buying another gen3 and part swap from mine and work the ej25 or convert mine to sti, after going for a run in bens on saturday im in love haha all i really want is boost.

[Jamo33]

Yep!!! boost boost boost, Im trying to get an exemption if i can, then ill just sell my car off and swap all mods from mine onto the GT that i want. Your car is insane though, if you can do an sti convert...i recommend as you'll keep the car you've put so much effort into

[00libertyrx]

thanks man, ive spent more time and money on it than my misses of 2years haha. the only problem is 2 small ish rust patches its the only thing that makes me want to sell. i have a mate whos a good painter/beater. it will be something ill figure out over the coming months. and your right sti would be the best !

[Jamo33]

Well i spent most my money on this car...the ex suffered hahaha she got nothing :S hahahahha but yea man 2 rust bits, who cars. Little bit of money and they are gone. i mean you can get a full closed door respray for 1500, not too much And if your mates a panel beater, its that much easier. For sure mate go the sti. If my car hadn't been crashed, i would have gone that route and was still going to until very recently when i actually thought about it hahahah.

[00libertyrx]

haha the trick is dont think just do ! lol shame about the writeoff though would have made an excellent sf weapon ! but in saying that you have 3 so youve got plenty of options

[Jamo33]

Yea thats fair enough...i do the exact same. Just act before i think It's a bummer, but onto hopefully better things ai. Dont have the 3 foresters yet hahah, hopefully getting one this weekend. And the other might come this weekend also...but ill have to see

[00libertyrx]

lol i dont have the space. if i convert mine ill be buying a little daily and just pour more time and money into it while its off the road.

[Jamo33]

Thats fair enough, get an 800 dollar car that car be used for the time. Buy the half cut for like 2k, then do the swap and make money back from like un needed parts. probs get 600 back atleast. you can do it mate hahah cmon

[00libertyrx]

Haha soon lol im easyily convinced. It will be a big job for me due to the lack of resources but ill find away theres always a way

[Jamo33]

There is always a way just take your time finding everything you need. Then one day. Your ready to do it, and its easier than you think

[00libertyrx]

Ill get a halfcut with the box diff brakes etc save me sourcing a whole list of parts+ bulk buying discounts

[Ben_20EJT]

and your right sti would be the best !

+1 For the sti conversion.


btw, nice looking foz, looked real clean last weekend. deffs get turbo when your odd you p plates, i sold my impreza and got the bus for 4 months just so i could buy my gen3 wagon with sti conversion as cars like it dont come along ever 2nd day.

cheers
ben.

[Ben_20EJT]

Haha soon lol im easyily convinced.

did the ride in my car convince you at all???

[Jamo33]

Cheers mate, yea definitely keen on the turbo after the p's.
Has to be STI all the way
