You remove the rear seat cushion and the rear part of the harness bolts in to where the factory rear belts and buckles are mounted.
Here's what the rear looks like:
Oooooh very fancy!!! And it allows you to still use the rear seats without the back seat passengers having a roll bar I their lap right?

Haha yeah except now they got extra straps to hold onto almost like holy shat handles
The belts unbuckle in the rear so you can use all the OEM belts - perfect for carrying more than two passengers :icon_wink: (you don't have to sit in that mess of belts if you're in the backseat!)
Thanks Brian! Your Foz has always been an inspiration to me :biggrin:
Last night I was testing out the new clutch and passenger harness I installed the past few weeks... Was a lot of fun, until it got dark :lol:
I also found my coolant leak! This doesn't look quite right to me:

I replaced the hose with a 10" piece from O'Reilly and double wrapped it in heat wrap tape rated up to 1500° - this should be good enough, right? The hose is the one that connects to the bottom of the turbo so I'd expect it to get pretty hot... Any thoughts on this? Should I just buy the right piece from Subaru?

It's a coolant hose right under the turbo and it connects the turbo to somewhere on the block(?).
nice vid man and im glad you got your leak fixed, keep up the awesome forester action!!!!!!!!!!
So today I fixed an oil leak, my coolant leak (for real), installed Group-N STI Motor Mounts, and took this:

...second ever night shot - came out alright but my battery died so I'll have to try again later :lol:
If you don't have Group-N Motor Mounts, get them!
Seriously! They made such a huge difference in power delivery and smoothness of power, I can't believe it. My old mounts were 150,000 miles old and you could see my motor shaking a lot while the car idled. Now, there's no movement at all and I love it. I'll be doing the Group-N trans mount here soon as well! I have no understanding of why people don't like this upgrade.

Yeah the mounts do make a difference for sure, I had cusco engine mounts In the STi witch will be swapped over the the foz, if u don't have it already I'd do the put h stop mount, it's pretty nice as well
A Group-N Pitch Stop Mount is definitely on my list of to-dos.
I relocated some of my decals today, added a few new ones, and finally added a "T" to my car class for SCCA autocross. The result:

P.S. Yes, those are quick-release bumper clips! I can literally have the bumper off my car in 15 seconds and this is another Function > Form mod. It's way easier for me to reach things in the engine bay with the bumper cover removed!
Next Up: Finish my Leggy GT brake upgrade!
The Tribeca brake frankenstein thing I have going on in the rear just isn't cutting it. I'm going to have a set of rear caliper brackets modified and hopefully get my rear LGT brake setup dialed in (safely this time). There aren't enough (zero, in fact) performance options of rotors and pads for Tribeca brakes. I wonder why :lol:
After my trip to San Diego and then the Bay Area this week, I'll get things moving with finalizing my rear brakes - I literally can't wait!

·I've taken off the bumper so many times nearly all the clip-in tabs are broken. :lol: I may have to get myself some quick releases.
Where did you get the quick release tabs for the bumper? Seems to be a fantastic idea!!!! Install write up by chance? Man how I love this build
Looks like a full vinyl wrap? White front with a dark blue rear and large "Shadow Media" logo on the sides...
Am I close? Do I win a cookie?
