Ron, this looks amazing, especially with the XXR wheels. They were on my list when I was looking for new wheels for my Impreza; they look even better on the Fozzie. Very very envious. Love the Forester STi, what a clean and well cared for example though!

Small update

Hearse had its M.O.T. done at RCM recently and flew through with no advisories

Whilst there a full service with all belts tensioners etc was completed too

On the ramps the rear whiteline arb looked like a vintage example, found somewhere off the coast of sussex by the looks only bit not rusted up was the remnants of the sticker

sooooo

New RCM front and rear ARB's and drop links fitted

Huge difference to how the car performed, however! after a couple of spirited drives, got underneath to check all was ok and noticed that the OE arb bracket(s) was rubbing on the new bar this combined with Bansteads thread regarding the OE arb mounts and the huge lateral movement on the bar

decided to alter the rear a little underneath sooooo


RCM rear 24mm bar (front 23mm)
New drop links
Whiteline alloy arb mounts
Uprated rubbers
Stainless steel lock collars

and alls now good with the old girl, spirited drive over and back to Saywell/Goodwood at the weekend and all the lateral movement has gone, car feels so much more stable on the road now........

Nice set of upgrades there.

Hope all goes well for your sister mate. Sounds highly unpleasant, but it's amazing what can be achieved with treatment these days.

No wonder you have been pre occupied to say the least,

really sorry to hear this, hope everything is going well,

You certainly have had a lot of things to deal with lately.

You know where I am if want to pop over for a coffee..

Well! as most people seem to know anyway

Forester now has a new owner

Pretty much done a deal unseen on the new car, thats the joy of dealing with fellow SES members especially when you realise who the deal was with, you'll know all the car should need is a bit of a clean...... (his words..."I don't do cleaning" )

Always been something I wanted and for how old the car is.............. amazing how 'current' it would appear to be..... nice to have something that puts a smile on my face just sitting there Not had chance to drive it properly yet but the experience of it so far a very promising



Looking forward to the ring trip 2015 and hope to get to a few more meets when things settle down

James let the cat out of the bag early on.

Saw it at Brands earlier in the month, lovely motor, won't be quite as capable in the snow as the Scoobs were.

Tee hee.

As soon as James said the Supra had gone and he had a new Scoob I was sure you two had done a deal.

I'm glad the Hearse has found a good home. You've no idea how close I was to contacting you about it (I mean I've already got the wheels)... quite fancied his and hers FSTis. I'd quizzed Rich on it, then our central heating shat itself, so it obviously wasn't meant to be!
