Scooner Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wow, very cool car. I like the look of the old school foresters. What kind of HP do you think you have now with that engine combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjras Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 130-140hp haha. My compression ratio is only 8.2:1. However, compared to my old 190,000mile ej251 the sohc ej257 is much pepier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjras Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 A little update to the fozz. I blew out the coilovers and decided it was time to do what i always wanted to do from the beginning and lift it. So here she is now in all her glory. Parts list for lift: Kyb gr-2 struts Ironman 35mm lift springs Subtlesolutions 1" lift kit Subtlesolutions 2" trailing arm spacer 15x7 -51(2" backspace) basset racing wheels 215/75/15 general grabber a/t 2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGL Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Did you use SF or SG (second-generation) rear struts? The SG ones are slightly longer, better tyre-spring perch clearance and more lift... Looks awesome either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the offset of my wheels the spring perch is no worry, I can fit a 40" tire if the rest of the car would let me. I plan to lift it some more and try to fit some 33's or 35's....maybe next winters project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, ill be addressing things like that as I get closer to actualy doing it. I kinda want to swap to a built 4eat with a manual valve body becuase my 5mt is doing nothing but giving me troubles.

KiwiGL Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Get an imported AWD dual-range instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
