bratman18 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Did it come from the factory with the LSD? I was wondering about mine. I have the same thing only green. Just in case you don't know, you have to put the newer 03-08 style rear struts in to be able to clear a bigger tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not a bad looking Foz! I want your wheels... when I do the 5 lug swap on NED Imma put those one with 205/50/16s Edit: Also, Fozester on here has a Primitive Racing skidplate he may sell, hes in Sherwood if youre in the Newberg Im thinking of.

987687 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you pull the drain plugs out and shine a light in the bottom one, you should be able to see through the top one if it's open or LSD. I'm tempted to start looking for a fozzy over a wagon for a new DD. The more I see awesome fozzies, the more they're growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamCF Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That CB mounting turned out slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sweet. CB fits perfect. What's the big ol' clock deal? Every fozzie I've seen has a cubby with a lid there (which I very much like). I that some crazy reincarnation of the trip computer from the digi-dash 80's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 When he brought it over I saw it was a compass/temp/barometer combo. Proly has other info it shows too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyclimbs Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I retrofitted my primitive front skid plate from my outback to fit the foz.. It's only a temporary so I can save for the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I want to put my rally armor skid plate on mine, but I doubt it will clear the aftermarket header without modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 I noticed a bad vibration and seemed the timing was off..The front crank seal was leaking so it was time to check it out. First off the crank pulley bolt wasn't even tight ..! The damper was damaged FUBAR.. The woodruff key was rolled over..! I had an extra dampner on hand and the crank, gear were ok.. It had throw the timing off about a tooth w/ missfire codes on cyl. #1, #2.. Alot of miss information out there on crank pulley bolt torque. Subaru recommends 130ft lbs. The good news is I saved it and runs perfect now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superu Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nice find G!!! I second what was already mentioned, doing the 2nd gen foz strut lift for tire clearance, just that plus 4EAT would make a sick commuter/DD Seems like everyone's getting a foz these days! Personally, I've been way in to Foresters for a while, but now running 2 car seats, that foz back seat (comparing to our 03 OBS') just doesn't have the space I now need :-\ Anyhoo, nice looking addition to the lineup, which one does the wife get?

scoobyclimbs Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) I christened the foz while hunting for a campspot @ Mt.Bachelor foothills. I stumbled on some kewl back roads to test the foz out. I was fully loaded @ 3750lbs. Skis, ski pulk, camp gear.. I brushed the foz abit , then took the foz for a dip... click on the first pic for video.. My kinda trail bushwack...! Yes I did drive over that...those that know me well...

bratman18 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Nice! Just out of curiosity, what did the King springs run? And they lift roughly 1.5" right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
