haha have you posted these to stir everyone up Malcolm?

these are just standard cars in good condition. and a bit old.

don't get me wrong....I like them.

Hi there ! :)

Duncan Duncan ! - shame on you ! - hehe !!

No not at all ! - its this kind of thing that reeeeeeaally appeals to me. Except as mentioned id personally lose the chrome and shiny braided hoses and go for more of a factory look but hey thats just cosmetic and so so easy to adjust - but hey thats just "my" opinion.

Its the fact that after 30 to 40 years there is still examples of cars in this condition that arnt in the nissan museum. I think its great !! - in fact as i also said i dont care what type of car it is - any car in this condition is ok by me - doesnt have to be Pebble Beach Concourse just cars in immaculate condition - theres a company in the uk doing nut & bolt ground up shell dipping restorations of e-type jags but with more up to date suspension/electronics/brakes etc etc - brilliant stuff !

Its this part or facet of motoring that i feel im into most with the driving of them second - dont get me wrong i love driving but when theyre in this condition i like it that much more !!

Cheers malcolm :D

      Seeing as it's an 04 model, I would be hitting up wreckers first.

      No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!

      Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
