Since you've got a turbo engine and you DON'T have power steer so far think of it this way... get power steer and you'll not only have plenty of feel for the road, you'll also be able to steer with better control, holding the smooth line you want, at a much higher speed around a corner, over bumps a...

I don't know about the Impreza model you're asking about for sure but many car makers now either have it in the rear quarter window or at the top of the rear window. Look for the separate heater-wire looking circuit running along the glass. This means that if you have a metal based window tint then ...

I converted mine to power steer straight after I bought it and it cost me $200 for the complete system, rack, pump, mounting plate and piping from a wrecker 4 years ago (could be cheaper now). You don't need to remove the manifold to fit the mounting plate and pump. You will, however, need to take t...

I'm just going through the process of changing over all the front and rear bushes to Nolathane and I've bought the rear ones with the metal sleeve so that means removing the original sleeve. This has proven very difficult to do. If I did this again I'd buy the bush kit for the rear that is listed as...

Welcome to the forums and, yes, you're welcome to make some plans for a trip to Stockton. I've got to move house again around that time but there may well be others who would be interested in going back to Stockton for a day trip.

I had an awful feeling that someone might pick up that phrase and, with a dirty, foul-minded immature mind, spin it around out of context and throw it back at me like that.... I would have :-) Yeah. I know. My wife wasn't anywhere nearby and I ain't getting a "fire" started anyhow else... I gotta ge...

Ha! Campfire! I couldn't get the thing going because of the cold. I needed some kero bombs or firelighters to really get it going enough to burn more than the smaller sticks. It was bizarre, usually it's a matter of turning the fire down, not struggling to get it going. Great images there. However, ...

Hey, reading the times of the last few posts, what are we all doing online at that time of night... poor desperate souls aren't we...

Good on you for getting out and about in the Outback. Packing a $10 long-handled shovel would have come in handy. Bottle jack, base plate, pack under the lifted wheels, hey presto.

Hey there Fredsub, I just took my 9 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son for a camp overnight on Friday just outside Lithgow so we could take our time getting to Kanangra Walls on Saturday. The camp overnight was, like your spot, incredibly cold (about 0 to -2 deg overnight) so my gas cooker wouldn't ev...

ok ok ok I know I was asking for the obvious when I wrote "or is there another maker..." considering I'm on the BYB forum. However, I was really after getting in touch with HiRise. Anyhoo. In the absence of any sense regarding HiRise I'll get in touch with BYB.

I'm trying to find someone to supply a replacement steering extension for a 3" lifted L series and am just as eager as you guys to get back in touch with David at Hirise. Can you send me the number as well? Or is there another maker who can do this ASAP.

Alex

Thanks ToyRX. I'm going to have a go at those over the next couple of days. I've got all new urethane bushes coming in a couple of days and that should help tighten things up too. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to give that feedback. Ain't got no welder though, nor the skills to use one if...

I have just read your thread... I'm all too jealous that you have either the time or the money to delve into this kind of work. Congratulations on the successes so far. One thing that particularly stands out to me is your recent problems of rear alignment. The measurements were exactly the same as t...

Hmm, you might be onto something there. The vacuum adjusted dizzy may well be advancing the spark too soon when the vaccuum is high - when pulling away from a standing start. I had wondered about that but hadn't delved into the solutions since I thought that would not be adjustable. More adjustable ...

I've always run standard unleaded and in the last year or so I've been adding upper cylinder treatment in every tank. I've found that it helps keep the engine running cleaner, reduces it's desire to ping, doesn't clog the spark plugs between changes and it runs a little more powerfully across the re...

As in the title, my L-series' standard EA82 ticks away, detonating on take-off thanks to the 27" tyres I'm running and of course it's worse when a) it's a hot day OR b) I've got the air-con on OR c) I've got a boot load of camping gear and three kids with me OR d) any combination of the aforemention...

Stamp Licker... ok, $10 on e-bay.... my prayers would be answered if I could find that kind of bargain. What kind of cutting and shutting did that require? And, while we're on it, this would basically mean that the Forester seats would require the same treatment since the Impreza and Forester seats ...

Okey dokey... I've had only a few hours pass since I changed over the tail shaft on my L-series and while I wait for new CV's and the perfect home to buy to come up realestate.com for $5.25 I'm sitting here instigating the next in a series of improvements to the car... I'm sure you all know the dril...

I've just been shaking my head in amazement these last few minutes. I just got off the phone with the fellow who sent me these A&L CV shafts... the dodgy ones. He was happy for me to just send them back to him and he'd give me a refund. However, he also reassured me that the quality of the products ...
