I still check in a few times a week, just don't have anything new to share. Still have the Sube, but hardly ever touch it.

PM sent re the airbox.

I started mine today. First time in about 4.5 years .

Just gotta work out why it idles at 5000rpm, then she'll be sweet

Does your EJ251 manifold bolt up to the EJ22 block? In my experience injectors should be matched to the capacity of the engine (i.e. 22 injectors with 22 engine). But will the EJ22 injectors fit the EJ251 manifold and the EJ20 manifold harness? Does the PCV and vacuum plumbing on the various manifol...

Thanks Taza, but I've already ordered the ebay one. If that doesn't work out, I'll be in touch.

Good work Jules, thanks. I've looked at ebay a few times but there's usually nothing.

Anyone got one of these lying around? To suit a 1999 Forester EJ20 non turbo. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n373/dhayden78/DSC_0268_zpsd8ttaj6h.jpg http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n373/dhayden78/DSC_0266_zps6qhrpgcy.jpg I can pick up from Perth in the next couple of weeks or pay postage.

Short answer is no, it isn't plug and play.

I've got some L series body panels that have been sitting around for too long and need to be moved on. There's a few doors, a tailgate, maybe a front mudguard. All are metallic blue, and from memory all have glass intact and are rust free. There's also some rear control arms, stock springs, and a ca...

Bit jealous, mate? That shed (actually a few sheds, IIRC) belongs to a retired machinist - it's quite a few decades worth of accumulation. If you've got time to read the whole thread, he tells the stories of some of his machines.

This is our tiny shed as it is now, it's always changing though :) I'll see your tiny shed and raise you one miniscule shed: http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n373/dhayden78/P1000775_zpsc781f613.jpg 1.4 x 2.4 m storeroom, with another couple of workbenches out in the carport. A somewhat more impre...

Go the black rocker covers.


Red might be a bit much

Does this overhaul include replacing crusty old connectors? If so, where do you get new ones?

Pretty sure I've still got a 1999 Forester header pipe stored in Perth, but I won't be back there for about three weeks. I can have a look if you still need one then.

How about a rear washer bottle from L series wagon, its a lot smaller and has a flexible filler hose that could prob be setup in place of the original. Would prob need the pressed steel bracket that goes with rear bottle that could be bent then bolted into place. That's what I've got on my car, hel...

Start of a snorkel? The elliptical end looks kinda like L series air intake.

With the base mostly enclosed as in your design, you won't be able to sweep or hose out any crap from underneath, so the castors are going to get jammed as soon as you try to move them. The lower shelf that the jack pushes up against will probably have to be more substantial than the drawing indicat...

Thankyou for your insight! I remember seeing your gallant vehicle parked about in Tom Price when I worked there for TPCM last year. Looked epic! I'll look into this too. It seems we've had similar issues. Small world eh? Should have added last night - because I haven't (yet?) got to to the root of ...

Sounds a bit like an issue I've had in my EJ22 L Series - after half an hour or so of light, constant throttle cruising it would either lose power or die completely. Never really got to the bottom of it, but it seemed to be starving, possibly because the original fuel return and breather lines are t...

Bennie is the freezer completely full? I had a similar problem for a while. Turned the fridge off and defrosted it, now only keep it 2/3 full and it's good as gold. Apparently if there's no room for air to circulate, the defrost drain will ice up and cause internal dribbles.
