lol does it just slide out? and how did you take out the CV joints and lock the 4WD mechanism??

Hey guys, may be a silly question, but is it possible to lock the 4wd mechanism on the brumby and take out the CV joints to make it RWD??:confused: If so, what are the pros and cons. I'll be honest here, all i basically want is oversteer :Dwith minimal/reversible mods. Can't give it the old scandina...

yeh i know but they can be bitches apparently and i want to keep it stock for the time being. no point in spending heaps of money on a car that isn't all that powerful. im waiting till i'm off my P's and put a turbo in it. im on those stupid new rules blurgh.

took the brumby to the mechanic yesterday because it felt like it was lacking in power a fair bit and having a few little episodes of pre-ignition everynow and then. turns out the carby needs a rebuild. butterfly valve in the primary shaft has corroded a bit (yet no other corrosion in the whole engi...

BYB-01, ive looked at the carby in great detail and i cant for the life of me figure out how to attach a wire so both shafts open. what should i attach it to and do you have any pics?? this is something i really want to do so any info would be awesome.

how much will this probably set me back? i want to do all the little things and make it so its a big difference, if you get me. im currently considering a carby/air scoop mod/conversion. are these pretty much the 2 basic things i'll need to do to get that grunt? 2 other things 1. how will the 2" fre...

what are some relatively simple mods one could make to the EA81 to give it a little more bite. its a good engine but i want more!! not all that fussed on a turbo. anyone got any good ideas??

cheers

i'll go and check out some wreckers when i get a chance. theres not many of these sorts of cars in the wreckers tho. people love them and dont wreck them! does anyone know if K&N do some sort of replacement filter and or system thing for the single carb EA81's?? i cant find anything on it on the net...

thanks guys. i bought some michelin's yesterday. the XM1+ in 185/70R13. ive already tried them out and they r pretty good. the guy couldnt get in the TOYO 720's for another 2 months. flag that. and i got the XM1+'s for 90 each which is pretty good.

cheers all.

you need to put some resonators in your system. Is it like a crackling really quick popping noise? alex ok ive done some serious reving haha and its not that sort of sound at all. its more like a constant gush of air. it continues to have the gushing sound if i keep it around the redline area. i th...

i put a $75 cannon on the brumby for shits and giggles and it sounds that good its not funny. really didnt expect it to sound so good. when im being a tosser and rev her right up and let off the throttle really quickly i get this blow off valve sorta sound. it only happens if i really rev her up tho...

instead of buying wheels right away, id like to get some tyres for my brumby that will go on the 13x5's it has at the moment. main off road use would be on sand with about a 25% off road 75% road use. anyone know of any specific tyres or available sizes that i could put on her. (not bothering with n...

Yeah, I chopped a couple more holes in my original airbox to get more air flow in. No use having that much surface area with only a tiny hole into the airbox. CAI is the only thing you can improve on with the original airbox, cut up a bit, IMO. I had 2" lift and there was more then 40mm clearance.....

Phizinza, that looks perfect for what i have. i havent go the dual carby tho(less work for me i spose lol). the pipe looks like its at a fair height, does the bonnet close properly with this?? and would the length in tube from the filter to the carby affect performance in any way? i.e. longer tube =...

i was thinking about putting a different transfer case in the brumby so its rear drive in 2WD and you engage power to the front wheels when switching to 4WD. i've heard of a brumby with a nissan transfer case in it but it which one/type wasnt specified. has anyone done a similar sort of thing in a b...

is it pre-ignition? my brumby did something similar. like you said, it sometimes did and sometimes didnt run on. i just tuned her up and she hasnt missed a beat since. check out a Haynes or Gregorys and see if it says anything

anyone that has an EA81 in their suby would know that the air intake system isnt the best. i was thinking about doing a pod filter conversion to get more flow through the engine. ive looked at the system thoroughly and its rather strange. i was wondering if anyone has done a similar sort of conversi...

Hey guys. this is my first post and i was wondering about wehre i might look to find some 14" rims for my brumby. i've heard a lot of people talk about desert rats and sunraysias but i can't seem to find any on the net. anyone know where i should start looking??
