SUBARU - ALL 2 THE DRIVER

Here's something a little unfamiliar to Australian shore's, possibly even a first for us here. A few of you may have seen video's around the internet. This 1998 Subaru Forester is a bit left of center.

 This particular example left the show room floor as a deep green, non-turbo base model, no flash features, quite simply, a people mover. This was true up until a few month's ago.

First thing's first, the non-colour coded bumpers had to go. A complete OEM S/TB STi kit took it's place. BMW Steel Grey was soon laid over every panel and body line. Then the whole body was dropped on ZeroSports coilovers.

People moving just got a little more intersting. In a space of only three month's, it now feature's a full Version 4 STi motor along with Sti running gear. A Mine's Tuned ECU keeps everything in line, custom front mount and complete exhaust.

 Now for the spicy part, this Forester is strictly full time RWD. Thanks to a PPG RWD conversion Spool.

Wearing a set of Work Meister SP1's with signature anodised blue wheel nuts sets this car off.

With hills and mountain road's in mind, a set of Spot Lights have been mounted behind the grill with HID's to do the rest of the work.

A custom one off four point roll cage had been welded in, along with a pair of Bride seats to hold the occupants in.

No pram will be going in this boot anymore.

Seeing this car driving down the motorway is one thing, but to witness this car skipping along drawing lines is so rad!

There's more tricks to come, so keep an eye on this car!

A very big thank you to Simon from FatManFabrication for all the fabrication.
CDR at Archerfeild for the paint and panel work and everyone else that has being apart of this build!!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

JAMBOREE 21 - PART TWO

Here is the last of our 2011 Jamboree 21 coverage!!

Trent, Matyi and Rory having a good old yarn and catch up!!

Really dig'd this thing.. the sound of it was intense... unfortunately I didn't get to see it run though!!

Emilio tried to get some spic angle on his seat.. and arghhh had a little accident!! hahahaha 

The seat was then put into retirement for the rest of the day!

What. Is. That.

Ohhh its an LS Conversion into a sil80

The wind picked up so much on the day, that we even dropped the tent down to its lowest height to try stop it from blowing away.. haha.. that didn't end up working and it ended up getting pulled down a bit later!

As you would have seen in the photos before.. The FFamily guys removed there bonnets, which later become a problem with the wind getting a little insane.. so they all went back on.. then come off again... haha.. Ash and Emilio's ended up in the boot of the wagon for the last few hours of the day. haha

Out of the "show cars" at the event this was my favourite.. I have always had a soft spot for this model c class merc.. and this has had some tasteful mods... only thing I didn't like was the white walls.. lose them and you got our approval!!!

Overall the day was great.. plenty of good people and good cars!!

Thanks to Downshift for inviting us along with there stand.. maybe next year we can do a colab stand and show everyone how its done!!

Thanks, Streetkarnage!!

JAMBOREE 21

After arriving to wilowbank raceway at the early time of 7:15.. the organisers tried sorting out the show n shine sections this time on the grass, which mega sucked!!

It was very badly organised again, which is a bit of a joke being such a big event!!!

We ended up getting parked in our designated spots.. cleaned a few things up from the drive up and we where ready to park as hard as we possibly could!!! BAAMMM!!!! haha

 Dean's killer RB25 powered Kouki S14!!!

Troy chillin' under the Downshift tent.. getting out of the ridiculous heat of the day!!

2JZ powered Merc... arhhh yes please!!!

 I seen this little ute for the first time at powercruise a few months ago.. I digg it hard.. re-barrelled steelies,, mint paint.. still yet to know what's under the bonnet but sounded great!!

I wonder what Alex and Mitch are looking at....

OH HAI THERE!!!
