Hi all,

I did a deal on a Foz today. I'm picking it up next week it needs some TLC but nothing major. I had some questions.

I believe the Drivetrain is the same as the same as an Impreza STI, which one? It will need new pads soon, and I'll give it a service so need to know what parts to look for.

It only has one key, whats the best way to go about adding a second, is there a flip key option for that will work with the remote locking?

One of the issues was a whoosing noise from the nearside front window right in the corner near the speaker the door seal looks fine and I can't feel any air coming through, it does have the window spoiler things fitted, so maybe it is that. Any other suggestions?

It is missing the parcel shelf, will an SF one fit or is it SG only? Anything else fit? Legacy etc?

The red intake is chipped in a few places, is there a touch up paint people are aware of or is the only solution to repaint it.

A drivers side electric window isn't working, anyone know if the internals are the same as an Impreza model?

I'm thinking about replacing the rear lights with the Facelift ones, They look like they are a bolt on swap is that right? Any suggestions where to get a set?

I was also thinking about the later mirrors, with indicators and power folding, but I am guessing this is a bit of a ball ache to wire up, anyone done this?

 

 

Here's the car, standard apart from an Apexi Exhaust, Advan Wheels and the STI Defi Gauge Cluster
