Anybody in london fancy a spot of greenlaning this evening, suitable for really any 4x4.

Have secured these Rotas off the importer, the fitment is gonna be pretty aggressive but I think it should work with some arch rolling.

I’m a fan but then again I think Subaru’s, straight pipes and turbo flutter are cool...

Well it’s here and MOT’d just waiting on documents, wheels, arch rolling and a little bit of paintwork.

Still not decided if I’m keeping the wing, I usually prefer them without but it’s a pretty rare factory fitted TRD one.

Probably about a grand once the chaser gets here and is registered. it needs an exhaust and o/s/f incicator lens though so when I get underneath it to do that I’ll assess and see if wants anything else doing.

Nah just an N/A ej20, it’s fairly gutless but it does have the low ratio lever on the gearbox so it’s fine getting up steeper and slippery slopes.

I might keep it, I might move it on. It’s not really fast or fun enough to justify its fuel consumption* IMO. Maybe my opinion will change after taking it for a good thrash about in the mud but I could sell it and buy a disco that’s better for towing, better off road, cheaper to insure and better on fuel.

It’s an awesome car but I just don’t feel it’s for me.

Unfortunately I just absorbed the loss as I wasn’t confident dealing with the claim alone, didn’t want to deal with polish insurers, had to move countries shortly after the accident and at the end of the day after selling the car I was only down about a oner.

Sold it to a nice polish chap who sad he was gonna fix it up.

Still hurts to look at though.

Since this forum seems to love Foresters so much here’s one I took in a trade.
2” lift and Yokohama geolanders, Subaru should have sold the car this way IMO. It really sets it apart from the Impreza hatch and legacy wagon now. And it earns that low range gearbox they gave it.

And a sneak preview of what I've got on the way.

Hey people, in a bit of a pickle here.

I've absolutely smashed my iphone and it's not backed up to the cloud, does anyone know how I might go about recovering my photos etc if it won't register as being connected to a computer?

Blew the clutch in the scooby last night while trying to hand with the turbo volvo boys ;)

Also had a little spin in an s15 and that got me wanting a silv.

I’m absolutely in love with the sound of my exhaust system, even if it’s already attracted some unwanted attention from the cops.

I’m sort of coming to terms with the fact that my quest for more power might lead me to a JDM STI as it’s a far cheaper way of getting an engine with forged internals and a 6 speed box...

Anyone know anywhere in London I could pick up something like this? My exhaust hangers seem to all be in slightly the wrong place for the new pipe and I need to get it at least mounted up for an MOT this week.

Been thinking about this for a while, is doing a stationary burnout a traffic offence, and what’s the penalty?

Just checked and the 51 plate scooby is also compliant.

I'm genuinely surprised I was able to walk away on without serious injury, the ignition key contacted, my leg during the crash and bent near 90 degrees.

On a sadder note it's looking like this is going to be an insurance nightmare considering the car is still covered only under polish 3rd party OC insurance so despite the accident not being my fault in the slightest I'll probably end up being seriously fucked over.

I definitely will, I’d probably change it up though. I’d like to go further east and pick a zaz 968.

That’s pretty similar to what happened to my old Delta. Maybe I should just stop buying red cars...

The Lexus driver admitted fault, she just somehow didn’t see or hear me bright red car with no muffler.

I’m hurting but no real injuries somehow.

Great start to 2019

Turbo and downpipe are still off but here’s what the tips will look like. 3” straight through all the way from the turbo with a single hotdog resonator out to twin 3” shotgun tips. Because NW6 isn’t loud enough these days.

Apparently anti lag will kill your downpipe before your turbo if you own an STI. Finally ground all the stuck nuts off, managed to slash my palm in the process.

I will but first I need to knock on some doors and find out who’s in charge of that seemingly abandoned RX7 I found a couple of months back.

Yeah I’d imagine you’re right, I don’t need another money pit. I already have a 350+ BHP turbo car that needs work doing.

Had it been a mk2 escort or ae86 I’d probably have done it.

@Howard the perfect practical scoob that’s just rowdy enough to be a fun family car!

Roughly the same as the RRP on the MTB I want to buy ;), it’s been off the road at least 5 years. It belongs to a neighbours family friend so we’ll have to see if the offer even still stands when I get back.
