I dont think you necessarily HAVE to go for an aggressive offroad tyre (if you were thinking of a big chunky one) I am running some Light Truck tyres - Yokohama RY 818 185/R14 i think... They are fine in sand (drop the tyre pressure) and on dirt they are fine....on road they are awesome too.... Maxx...

Yeah i reckon I must not know how a clutch truly slips, cos if the wheels can spin still...yeah its not THAT bad ey....excuse my lack of knowledge of the ins and outs of a car :P......Ive just been informed by my mechanic the clutch doesnt seem to have much more life....and as im no good with DIY......

sweet! what a view in the background too!

Oh i just meant the clutch is slippin so much so im reving its guts out and riding the clutch ..by the time i get going the wheels have spun....its only happend a couple of times....and only if i got a trailer or a boat....and when im taking off on a hill...but it is getting worse I dont HAVE to tow...

your thoughts? mine is slipping...to the point where im reppin' some unintentional wheel spin taking off quickly from hilly intersections...:P or towing the boat....the clutch is getting ridden a fair bit Any ideas on how much a heavy duty clutch is, as opposed to an ordinary one?...worth it? is the...

cheers man! Hmmm...well, at the moment im content...however... i plan on taking it to the west coast of south oz....near the border of WA pretty much....so id love a long distance fuel tank! or a rear bumber with swinging jerry and sparey holder.......CB radio will be in order too!...got some ideas ...

Yeah i understand ey....it seems like everyone ive mentioned it to reckons by the time you've paid for the job...you coulda bought petrol for an entire trip :P....doubely even! So i might bail on it......even a custom jerry that mounts inside my roofrack cage would be cool...i could be getting carri...

I have enquired on offroadingsubarus.com as to whether or not anyone has hit up a long distance fuel tank in an L series? Ive been put onto Xtreme_RX here at ausubaru but no response....i understand he's done it... Im keen for the option of extra fuel for long trips i plan on doing. The convenience ...

cheers for the heads up! my mechanic aint a dog :P he doesnt really charge labour..more just whatever parts cost is the end cost..and he only does necessary stuff...so its working and safe!...he doesn't dedicate all his time to my car...he works on mine inbetween other jobs to keep the cost down on ...

i was stoked to get my car back on sunday!...no serious issues with it....my mechanic has come to the conclusion that it is the air-con unit which is playing up...he seems to think that the air con was being used for FAR too long without gas and in doing so it has stuffed up some valves in it..but h...

thanks heaps people for feedback and tips! i'll give em all a go see what happens...i just remembered the previous owner had a new radiator put in....i think he did work on the car himself with a mechanic mate tho...maybe they did it....perhaps shonky job...?...i'll get back with the diagnosis on it...

Your best guide to the engine temperature is your guage. Do you not look at it? the thing is...the previous owner put in 4 new gauges to monitor the engines doings..and had them running up the side of the wall closest to your left leg...inconvenient for your leg and monitoring...(looking down)....s...

i drove 20mins down to prospect to go to my girlfriends house for a swim on that 41degree day the other day...and when i got there i noticed a strange bubbley sound...looked at my temp gauge...it was MAX'd out....this is when i freaked....popped the bonnet...legs were getting sprayed from coolant oo...

my mechanic informed me i'l be needing a clutch replacement soonish...has anyone gone through the process of replacing theirs. is it easier to find a second handy ..or getting one made up.....Paul from Subareck said there isn't much price difference in a second hand one, and getting one made up or s...

hey i reckon i saw one of the guys from the goolwa cruise up echunga/meadows way today! the guy with a bullseye looking sticker on the back?...thought it was him...drove pass him on the way back from kuitpo paintballing....fun fun!

i have confidence in Subareck/Subamods, that they wouldnt do a job which would be ineffective when needed...they have stupid amounts of experience(close to 20years i think) with the subarus and i just couldnt see them doing a shonky job.....cheers for the concern Chubby37 tho, appreciate it

i recon i seen ya yesterday on the corner of Fullarton rd and Greenhill RD looked very nice

maate wasnt me! i was in gawler til like 6pm...and i rarely am down fullarton way anyways!...dang it :P oh wells...
