Hi All,

Just wanting to replace the head breather hose and wondering what to ask for down at the auto shop. Keeping in mind it needs to withstand a fair bit of heat from the hard working EA82T in the rally car.

Many thanks,

Andrew

This bloke has built up over 20,000 hours a fully working scale model Ferrari 312PB. Amazing, the little Flat 12 engine runs and everything.

Thought you might want to see the Litchfield STi clip from Fifth Gear in the U.K.

Right mouse click it and select "Save Target As" if you have a slow connection.

Sammy, $300 freight, far out. How come it costs $1000 to get a car from Japan but your headers cost that much?? What differences apart from the sound did you notice? Did you get it dynoed at all?

Andrew

As long as the clearances are about the same and the price is right then I'm keen but adding shipping I'm just not sure the price would still work out ok.

Will wait and see what you come up with.

Thanks Jaffa, was wondering where the mounts were on the arms but as my struts aren't factory then it's no surprise I couldn't find them.

Anyone got any pics?

Anymore news on these yet Xtreme?

Andrew

Hi All,

My rally car hasn't ever had a front sway bar installed and I'm wanting to test it with one on there. Can anyone take a pic under their RX Turbo for me to illustrate the mount location and any links?

That would be greatly appreciated, we have some newer cars to catch!!

For the first time Subaru will run a timing chain instead of the belt. Should make the 100K service a bit cheaper. The turbo also looks to be housed directly under the motor. The motor will be nice and short then. Ecpect it in a Forester by the end of next year. Andrew http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/62...

Subaru announced their new Turbo Diesel power plant at the Paris Motorshow today. Reports say it matches the performance of the BMW 2.0 TDI (115Kw, 330Nm). Sure is better news than the new Impreza 1.5R. http://www.subaru.com.au/news/?newsid=12608 Looking forward to it appearing in the Forester!! And...

Hi Mate, SA has the reputation of having fairly easy rego authorities. Having said that, if you get an inspector that has had a bad nights sleep they can be right pains. I take it you are asking as you want to transfer a vehicles rego to SA? Why are you concerned? In regard to suburbs it might be ea...

Bad luck mate, that sucks. Glad to hear you're ko. Don't like the sound of the seat rails bending, will give you a chance to get them up to scratch then!! I hate doing major work on the rally beasts but it is a good chance to have a good look over things and make it better for next time. What tyres ...

Hi Andrew, You might find a bit of useful stuff on my site. Here it is!! We are entered in Toyota Rally SA next weekend so should get some good footage from there. You're from Mt Gambier right?? If you can make it to a Walkerville All Cars Club rallysprint day at Truro give me a shout and I can take...

Hey Damo,

Finally got around to seeing your latest project. How's it all going?

Put in our entry for Toyota Rally SA today. Can't wait!!

Hope to see some more photos of your beast soon.

Andrew

Hey Simmo, Where are your pics??? :lol: Did it look anything like this? http://www.faberit.com.au/RXRally/Pics/canberra/atko.jpg or this? http://www.faberit.com.au/RXRally/Pics/photos/comp/4.jpg It sure did have all the nice bits inside and had the intercooler etc. Not sure if the engine was there t...

Hi All, Just to let you know there will be a couple of old Subes rallying up at Truro on the weekend. We are entered in the RX Turbo and Darren Lee is entered in an L Series wagon. Racing starts at 6:00pm in the main st of Truro. Entry list and spectator guide here - http://www.introrally.org http:/...

Go hear for what was a really interesting first race of the year for us in the trusty old Subi.

I wish they had run a stock STi on the same circle test. Would be interesting to see how it compared. The diff technology is certainly interesting, wonder how different the maps are for the diff compared to the World Group N Impreza tarmac spec settings are? Everyone remembers the Delfino right?? ht...

Thought you might like to see a review of the Prodrive sports car concept full of STi gear.
