Default Newbie from down south (Albany)




Hi guys,
New to the site, not new to Subaru. Had an 03 Forester XS previously, sold it to buy a Toyota Aurion...but moved over to WA with a new job so now I'm back in a 02 Forester GT.

I'm down in Albany, full time professional with just enough time on weekends to tinker with the car.

Was on GTrydaz until it got all confuzzled, now a loyal member of ozFoz.com - Australia's Fast Growing Forester Community. (free plug)

Anyways, good to be here...no doubt I'll be buying some of your WRX stuff

Car is as follows:
2002 Foz GT (manual)

Aside from stock:
* ozFoz (green) decal (+30kwatw)
* Blitz EBC - set at 8psi & 10psi
* 3" TBE with catless up pipe (nice & loud but no drone)
* Walbro 500hp fuel pump
* WRX suspension
* Short shifter
* Dark tint (5%?)
* K&N filter
* Resonatorectomy
* Upgraded alarm
* DLS 6.5" splits with Dynamat in doors

Planned Mods:
* TD04 or VF34/35 turbo upgrade
* Upgrade top mount
* Upgrade brakes
* Reflash tune
* DIY CAI
* Boost guage (thinking of installing with EBC & Scanguage on top compartment of console)
* DIY mesh grill or buy similar
* JDM STi Forester rear tailgate garnish (already got - its the red section under glass like the one on early Liberty wagons)
* 18" wheels (promised Wifey to wait until these tyres are ratsh*t)
* Larger STi scoop (considering)
* Few nicks & scratches on the body so maybe a respray at some stage.

Sounds like an awesome package you've got in the works, get some pics up when you can! There are a few Albany members on here and a few ex-members too. Perth-WRX regularly has a downsouth trip (I'm organising another right now actually) so you'll be (un)lucky enough to meet some of us too.

Welcome to the forum. As jEstEr has said we are planning on coming down end of this month.
Albany is my home town, so we tend to do a lot of trips down there.
