The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Thanks fellas, Some great responses. The car will be for street use only, no 4wding. The engine and gear box have been lowered 2 inches to help fitting everything under the bonnet. So, sounds like 78sti I need to call Pedders. Will they have an off the shelf product I can buy (highly unlikely)? I th...

Hi Team, doesn't seem to many people are looking through this folder of the forum, but I guess it's best to post in the most appropriate folder. Have all the engine stuff done except for a top front to back stabiliser bar thingy (under the top mount) and the sway bar for the front two wheels. Having...

STI brumby;

read through my build thread nad is covers how to fit the wrx rack fairly well. At least that is what I think!

That is an amazing conversion! Although $24K is probably nowhere near going to cover the hours and the parts put into the car, im with giles. Unles I win the 20 million dollar lotto tonight, there is no way I would buy it. Beautiful show car, and i am surprisd that these conversion come up that we h...

Well I thought this was all taken care of, however now that the engine is in and I am up to the stage of adjusting stuff I dont seem to be able to get enough throw out of the bracket that I made up. The actual arcthat the pedal pivots through means the lower down the pedal you are the more throw you...

Lengthening was the way to go, for those interested. However,I had to have both solid lines shortnened to make tightening the nuts onto the rack possible. So firstly get an idea of how short you want the solid lines, then figure out the length of the flexible line from there.
Happy turning.

so all sorted.

Mounted the fans on the front, and all seems to be good. Haven't mounted the bumper over the top but lokks like it should fit. AC radiator is now on the other side.

This is just to let ohter people know that they do fit on the front.

don't know where you are in Sydney, but I drive a 1.15 hours to Wollongong to get mine serviced at R & C automotive, servicing Subarus since they have been imported in 1978.

They are the best blokes around and really nice. Cost a little more per hour but it is really worth it.

good luck.

well realistically for an EJ20T, half cut cost $2000 full service $2000 (new clutch, timing belt, water pumps, etc) custom radiator + twin thermos $500 custom tail shaft $400 additional stuff that I cant think of now!!!! splice wiring harnesses $1000 rego $1000 + that is without including labour for...

Hi Team, Not too many people seem to be reading this section of the forum, but I am hoping someone can help me. In the sort of final stages of preparing the engine bay, and am encountering a few issues that for me the inexperienced are hard to overcome. Was assuming that a POD ram filter was as easy...

ok.

So can the fans fit on the front?

Looks like there is enough room. What if I am using the standard plastic bumper?

cheers

Help! just got my radiator back from the shop all ready to go and I have f#*k all room to fit it. I ordered 2x davies craig fans @51mm deep they are as thin as they come and looks like I will fit one on the drivers side after pulling the ac condensor and the alternator. That coupled with the fact th...

Hi guys, The rack is fitted and the engine is fitted, see thread in my sig for details. But, when I put the power steering lines in they came or even touched the down pipe from the turbo. So I assume that I needed to lengthen the hoses to go around the solid brake lines coming out of the master cyli...

spend a bit of time reading the forum!!!!!!!

hi team,

anyone interested in a brumby for parts could probably get this one cheap.

re; plumbing a WAIC on the front, I am not really that concerned about heat radiation and or the look of a scoop. With the engine dropped by 2 inches there should be enough air flowing through the engine bay. If this becomes a problem later on then I will put a front mount in. thanx WRX for that tip...

thanx tex, Unfortunately I already started drilling. But I think it will look a bit better with the wheel carrier bracket removed, whilst leaving the engine stay mount. Will no doubt have to weld drilled holes and respray but these aren't to difficult. any other advice about the IC top mount for the...

Hi Team, After 12 months off the project due to a house renovation project I am back in to the conversion. Was going to run a front mount IC but just decided that with AC on the front as well, it was going to be a lot of work so I figured I would just stay with the top mount IC with no scoop. So.......

bump again!

not to sound abrupt but this post has been up for a long time with out a reply.

It's for the good of the forum really, so take it or leave it, but someone has to have read my post.

Been a member for over 10 years so am very fond of the forum by the way.

Thanks guyph 01.

Made the necessary changes.
