Very nice. Did you have to clean from inside as well or just outside? I was thinking to do the same work my Fozzy.

Wouldn't advise cleaning the inside, they have a protective coating on the inside that's easily damaged.

its the heat off the lamps causes the dirt to "burn" into the plastic lens causing the dull / dirty look.........

best way is to have them machine polished as it restores to a nearer new condition than any other treatment we have come across and lasts well

Started to add some paperwork so done a check on it from the land of Jap and also of course added the importers folder .

Today the Foz had new rubber with right sizes fitted so much better and also replaced some old grill clips for new ones now its wabble free i am really struggling to find things to do to it this is a first from me lol .

Banstead Stig · #9 17-03-2018, 08:14 AM

Few things to think about if not already done:-

- Rear strut brace (Whiteline QR bolts allows the load space to still be used when needed)
- Thicker rear ARB (20 or 22mm seem popular choices)
- Rear subframe locking bolts

Makes a huge difference compared to standard in my experience and none of it costs the earth.

Its already fitted with a cusco rear strut brace

will look into the others but i would need a damn good excuse as its mint underneath and nothing needs replaced yet

Ride hasnt change at all tbh only thing is when its mega windy you can hear it at the front especially in the arches lol.

scotty · #13 25-04-2018, 05:32 PM

Was up at my guru's garage so put the Foz on the ramps it needs a little clean but its fitted with cucso front and rear braces as you can see but main reason was to measure the exhaust and low and behold it measures the exact same as a classic and is also 3 sections like a classic so thats good news and can look for a replacement centre section .

Already mapped on uk fuel but just wanted to know what she is running and see if any issues which going by the graphs

283bhp and 325torq

Also see she is running rich so looks like a new maf is on the cards .

Also the boost tales off so thats interesting aswell so will get a smoke test done to see if any leaks .

scooby doo · #35 11-06-2018, 12:37 PM

it could be mapped to to tail the boost off,
looks like the ecu could be pulling the timing back as couple of dips in the curve,

scotty · #36 11-06-2018, 03:13 PM

Its possible that dyno and roads figures are different has here is the road figures of

310bhp and 362torque

How good was the build quality of the exhaust Scotty? I purchased a Hayward and Scott rear exhaust from Scoobyworld and got SMD to fit it. Brent was not impressed with it and had to make some modifications to get it to fit. After some discussion Scoobyworld made a partial refund.

Build quality is spot on and fitted straight on only thing wrong is the rear hanger they could have left it straight as can't move the back box so that the tail pipe sits n the centre

Banstead Stig · #61 28-10-2018, 06:07 PM

I half thought it looked slightly out of centre, but put it down to perspective.

Can get the hangers redone so not really a big issue and doesn't affect the sound
