Yer i dont have the adjustment would up anyway, just make the coils stiffer and ride worse than it needs to be I just cut a hole in the floor of the tray to adjust the rear height, god only know why Subaru never made a hole and inspection panel for doing it, made life easy with a 24" breaker bar and...

Ah ok, well its only my paddock car, so i dont really want to spend to much $$ on it, unless someone has some laying about that are in good nick Just one thing, do the inserts have upper bump stops? If so i think mine are trashed and thats why its doing this I might just lower the rear and let the w...

Guys having some issues with my front struts topping out early, my car seems to be sitting very low and i can push down on the bullbar then lift and clunk the shocks very easy

What should i start looking at?

Guys, its been a long time since i had my Sherpa(what a beast) but i picked up a Brumby today, just a paddock hack as i now live on 4 acres backed onto crown land, so needed a ute

Looked in the paper, sweet, $700 later i have a new Suby

Now to find so find me some parts!!!!

Mine was, theres not too much to go wrong, there very basic cars

Use 2007 Honda Jazz wheels, see some of my old posts for pics etc

Look for all posts buy me, i did quite a few mods to my old one

Bump, my little baby is now for sale thanks to new work, tried to set up an add in the for sale section but its not working, send PM to admin

No lift, i want it lower but its just not gunna happen, the suspention is well below its workable levels now, bump stops cut and all, and the turbo is coming, after x-mas sometime

hahahahah, that how i read it too

I dont. but if you look closely with the panel off it will make sense. I used sanyo in my original one. they are flat and sit nicely behind the panel. fors speaker grill (its a steel one) sits flush with the door panel and looks stock. Id love to see some pics if you have them, i would like to add ...

that makes sense! novel idea. while you are at it drop a set of 4" speakers into the front doors. they will fit just foward of the window winder. use the speaker grills off a ford laser to hide them :) Dont happen to have any pics do you? I was thinking maybe some speaker in the kick panels, but th...

Ok got the rear door installed, well it worked out very well indeed, have a look at the pics, some 3mm alloy plate and some screws and bobs your uncle, tests out perfect, now just to do the front door and im done! EDIT: Just got one of the doors done, came up sweet and system is working well, just t...

this I want to see... that beat me on both of mine! Here is the barrel mods to do it, changed from a sliding plate to the rod, all the was required was a 35mm stainless hose clamp, a 6mm bolt, and the rod that come from the central locking kit, bit of cutting, some drilling and tapping Not much to ...

edit: i chased but couldnt match the sheer pace of sherpa power

Na never saw you, im too fast around the corners, lol, now i have the coils tied in anyway!

you have no choice on the rear. keylock is integrated into the barrel. Wanna make a bet Chris, i am making a slide mech to fix that issue, will take some mucking around, but it'll work It will be a slide driven by an actuator, the slide will have a hole in it at the unlocked point where the pin fro...

Cheers, just putting central locking it it as we speak, i hate having to lock the back door with a key

I got over looking for coils, no one could help, so i made a full set of coil retainers and bolted the springs to there seats, then made a choise on ride height and chop chop, all good now
