I checked the holden web site and their factoy fitted lpg system returns 14.4litres/100k and petrol is 11.1 litres/100k, that is 27% difference! which is what I would expect. This is Lab test figures which manufacturers have to publish. It is probably the IM240 test but having said that it may be a...

I got redirected to a page telling me I don't have the permissions needed to post.

This is copied from RACQ website. What effect does LPG have on economy and power? Because LPG does not contain the same amount of energy as petrol, both fuel consumption and power will suffer. However, later model vehicles are generally less affected. Most of your post is with regards to the old te...

CAPTCHA has its limitations. The real issue is bots are small programs because of this they are as smart as the programmer who made them. CAPTCHA is old now and most bots are new to keep in front of net technology. Unfortunately things like this are always a catchup process.

Some forums that use vBulliton have a new user section where the new user has to post 3 times before they can post anywhere else. The thinking behind that is you can weed out the bots and spammers within 3 posts. Another idea is the registration process. Bots will fill out every form so if you have ...

All Pros. do it now! Hmmmm, I think a little bit of research is in order before such a blanket statement is made. Car runs on gas perfectly and on petrol same as before. The only difference is a slight power loss at the top of the rev range. In a good quality kit there should be no discernible diff...

Light trucks have a separate chassis, Subies are Monocoque. Holden 1 Tonners are complianced as a light truck to but they are still passenger derivatives. Better to be safe than sorry, go as far as you can go as a passenger car and if you are determined to go for a "commercial" classification get th...

The 4wd thing is up for interpretation. You need to remember the majority of Subarus are passenger vehicles and even the Brumby is a passenger derivative. It is the same thing for Holden and Ford Panelvans, they are passenger car derivatives so are under the exact same laws and classifications as pa...

This is the VSI information for basic vehicle modifications.

My research finds that we, in NSW, can increase the size of the engine by up to 15% without need for any certification. So, from a 1.8 to 2.0 that's within the limit and I save myself hundreds of dollars in the form of having an engineer going over it. Oddly, this limit allows turbos as well, crazy...

Bumpty, thanks for the welcome. I didn't get the car it sold for $2500 and it wasn't worth that much, so I shall keep looking and post pics when I finally do get one.

Hi. I'm Michael from NW NSW. I've been reading the forum for a little while now and thought I'd sign up and say g'day. I've ever owned a Subi before but am looking for a Brumby or an 1800 wagon that I can play with over time. I have found an unregistered August 1990 Brumby Sports for $1800. Needs a ...
