my title says "Systems Engineer"...

is it a canberra car ??? i got these photo's a while ago as well.

Damn that sucks Anthony. I guess that will teach you for not conferring with the missus. I am in discussions at the moment for a set of rims... it will be a tough fight and some sacrifices will have to be made but I think I can pull it off

I was just looking for a set of rims for the new Forester, trying to get a set of TE37's, when looking i came across these and creamed my pants... I think they would be the ultimate wheel for an GTR... SOMEONE GET THEM I will contribute $5 of my own money towards someone getting these

Hey guys, Well this is my first post in this area and was hoping that someone with an R33 GTS-T has done a brake upgrade but still have there calipers... I have this crazy idea that the r33 gts-t 4 pot calipers will fit my new Forster. As the Foz only has 2 pot on the fronts these would make a great brake upgrade. It has been tried and tested on the 4 pot WRX calipers and they look identical with the exception of the raised writing of manufacture. Anyways if someone can help me out with a loaner just to see if they fit I would appreciate it. ping me via a pm if possible. Cheers, Leigh

Um i bought mine off him before he changed the design. However i think i got one gasket but no goo. I got powertone in Fyswick to fit it up. In reality i probably could have done it myself but it can be hard not having a hoist.

looks good Alex. i found BAMBTL's dump pipes and cat's good quality and a reasonable price.

Wish i could i have a party to attend. I could of brought the new Foz we pick it up in 30 minutes.

pm sent

damn i am surprised to hear so many people loving this. I thought it would be ok... hmm i think i will have to make an effort to see it now.

FEAR THE HOLE OF DOOM... That's what you get for using your front yard as a skidpan Nic... if you just eased off for a while some grass might actually grow

not to cut Matt's grass as he helped me out in the past. Give Ryno a ring. I have not had to put a claim in with them so i can't tell you how they go in that regards but they smashed everyones quote for me.

I know i know an evo would be more fun but i have already put my money where my mouth is i guess put 10K down on a new forester yesterday depending on what the dealer has to say i should have it in a week or so.

Still not 100% sure of that sig. I really like that car and i know the new one won't be as fun to drive.

Agreed they are not to bad Michelle but i think i would take a Stag over one I just put the deposit down on the forester i think in the long run I will want mine to look something like either of these two cars... well thats the intention at this stage. I wonder what a set of TE37's would look like on a FOZ

datto260z pretty much hit it on the head... if i was going to get an evo i would only want to keep it for 1 1/2 - 2 years max. I would be buying at the worst time as at the moment it is the most recent model and still worth a bit. I would be selling around 6 - 12 months after the evo X (10 for those of you who don't know roman numerals ) which would be forcing the prices down pretty bad. Terminal i have seen some and they are actually ok looking but again same as above + i am not sure if they can be imported even though locally there was no Evo IX wagon the evo IX sedan was sold and i think like the forester STI it would have to come in as a personal import (own it for 12 months in Japan) The subaru's have a great re-sale value i was actually looking to buy a second hand 07 XT Luxury forester and go figure it is actually cheaper for me to buy a brand new one in almost all cases (compared to tradingpost.com and carsales.com) + I have been given permission to do some mods over time so should be good fun when she gets a little more power. it's only what 20 - 25 years till i am allowed my mid life crisis car who knows what fun cars will be out around then hehe

hehe thanks Alex i will still be hanging around here... for a while

That's all good it's good to meet interstate people at the best of times let alone when it's not planned (also to let you know i sold the skyline today so it didnt last to long )

spotted veilside not in a car. Also spotted my car driving away without me in the drivers seat

SOLD!!!

You all make good points but they are to old and to long looking for me and in regards to the extra 0.5L capcaity yes over the old models but not the new ones they have a 2.5L as well the boxer style engine sounds nicer (although everyone will think a rex is coming ) the one i am going to buy has a sunroof who really needs 2 Again thanks for the feedback all but i have been in touch with a dealer and will be buying a Brand new Subaru Forester XT Luxury. Depending on the colour i get (at this stage urban grey) i am looking at a 3 - 4 week wait so will be coming out to show off the new toy.

That was me your car looked good.

Hmmm some very valid points. I guess it may come down how quickly i need the car, particually with the amount of shitty weather we have been having lately. I think you mean you have either an 8 MR or a 9 RS... you can't bring in an Evo 9 MR unless it's a personal import and i am pretty sure they have only been out for about a yer either way i know what you mean hehe

This is pending the sale of the skyline but it is looking like I have found a buyer... Now I am struggling to make the next decision... what car to get next... I have narrowed it down to 2 cars... Second hand Mitsubishi Evolution IX Brand new Subaru Forester XT Luxury Now I am thinking the forester is a probably a better idea for many reasons as it's the good compromise between still having a fun car and having some comfort eg leathers seats, softer ride, sunroof etc... But then I think but what if... I got an evo IX for 2 or 3 years sold it and then got the "family car" I am still young and don't really have a need for the larger car for at least 1 1/2 - 2 years when we move into the house to do the renovations... the evo would be a lot more fun but like the skyline it would be driven 85% of the time by the missus so I wouldn't get to drive it all that often... AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am pulling my hair out... Jayce I think I might have to post up on the forester forums for a ride with someone that had a semi-modified forester as in stock form they just feel rather slow Some friendly advice from fellow SAU peeps would be appreciated. At this stage I am still leaning towards the forester

Well looks like i probably have a buyer will know in a day or two.
