Oil pans are overrated. I mean when was the last time you really needed one? :dizzy:
My oil pan isnt in as much dangers as my buddies VR6, his was only like 2 inchs off the ground with his H&R cupkit but now hes on coils and more of a drop. I havent seen it yet but I expect dangers to the manifold! Mine is a lower profile pan and eventually i will get a skidplate.
 
This style makes no sense to me.

The tires don't fit under the car, the rear tire is way too narrow for the wheel, and you're fwd anyway.

Different strokes for different folks i guess.

They fit now that i put a narrower tire on the wheel :D

Like i stated earlier its purely cosmetic. I dont think my car is fast and i laugh at all the people that try to get me to "run 'em" in my small hometown. My car is 'low and slow' since the engine choice i have really doesnt any have any good power upgrades.

My next project might make more sense to you Barge. I am in the works of building up a Boxer engine with a friend who is a Subaru tech. The goal is to find a good shell forester to put it in, but ive already said way to much :D
 
I love your car Brett!

This picture made me LMAO!

Lots of people like the older forester body style that didn't come in a turbo version.


And i've got 255's on an 8" wheel... i'm going the opposite way of you. I can't get any more tire on my wheel.

saying a object looks fast is like saying a object sounds bright.:shrug:

Agreed I like the body style my mother has and since my buddy works at a very busy Subby dealer he sees repairable 'totalled' cars all the time. And besides i know the engine is going to where i dump all my money so if i find a car with engine that i like i just pull the engine and put the new one in ;-D.

I love oversided tires too, if i make good power on my next project im going to do the same.

The car does look pretty sick though. Jolf's rock.

Gracias. I hope people dont view my car as 'ricey' as i though it was tastefully modded and i never tried to make it look like something it isnt. I just want it to look nice since its not a 1.8T or VR there isnt really any high performance options or real point, cheaper just to swap out ofr a better engine.
