Haha, what I really wanted to know more about was, your Mitsubishi.

My bad, Mitsu was for the tdo4, still using slang from the turbo dodge world when I had a charger and spirit es (the latter of which actually did have an electrical fire)

Well, isolation has brought up some opportunities to upgrade the forester.
Rad blew so minor upgrade, warm weather is here so I might actually get working on this thing with more mods soon. I also need to find some 05-07 wrx hatch strut bodies so I can do my Koni conversion, and I’m still contemplating what I need to buy to get my STi rear swaybar on.




i also decided to upgrade my coveralls



More to come, parts in the mail

Small update, stock airbag looked like something out of the 80’s, and I wanted a central tach. I found a jdm forester cluster for $140 shipped, then paid $150 to have the odometer set to match the old cluster. I also found a guy selling a wrx steering wheel, so I grabbed that for the bag.

Old and busted:

Looks great!

... then paid $150 to have the odometer set to match the old cluster.

I did not know this could be done, pretty neat.
