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

lots of stuff there purp and ill try and give my feedback on the things ive seen its a hell of a mod and as i dont use it for city streets i probably wont do it, in the old mans Forrester i just throw it in low in the city for lights and stuff, the stop go sort of thing, its just something you cant ...

ok so my pre heaters gone and every other car i have here its gone too, im not interested in going and buying a new genuine one or even a second hand (if i can find one) does anyone have any other options and ideas? i was thinking a mandrel bend stainless steel with silicon hose but im not sure that...

well i know that if your sitting for 7 seconds than yeah turn it off, how you know you will be sitting for 7 seconds i dont know. and im not sure if this is the same as NA or FI, there are some other serious mods that i have in mind but probably wont get around too so wont bother talking about it ju...

I'm not sure how having ten forward gears is going to help you with fuel economy (not noticeably anyhow). Surely any advantage gained from closer ratios is going to be minimal compared with all the other "driving style" changes you can make? 10 speed would be good. You could do 100km/h at about 1,5...

has anyone done any eco modding to an L series? i found some people in america who had played with it and figured since Lisa will be either looking for a new home soon or joined by something else (probably a 2000 or so subaru non turbo sedan, turbo 98 wagon or a 1st gen forester) anyway in the meant...

mines a slighlty modified 12volt that my grandad had hidden away. i dont use it for 4wd tires but reasonable for the rally car.

ill do a thread on modifying one later when i start pulling another ive got apart

i think you might be right rick

IDEA shelved until further notice

tried it and failed.........
the only way weve found to keep the ticking low is
keep the oil at max
theres a certain product that i cant remember, lifter somthing? that is added to the oil
turn the radio up

Or how about we roll with the idea of state based? Every state builds a car?

hmmm if its already been tossed around the fact that a fiat club can do it. The only problem i can see is the postage of everything, need to find some truckies doing interstate runs. ive got a place we can keep it, north of adelaide, its open but with a tarp should be fine. working on it would be a ...

ok had a thought about this all

and if everyone wants to go ahead im thinking we build a khana cross car, with a half cage.

as for what we put into it is another thing, what have you got hidden in the back shed that can go to a good cause?

Gannon wrote:In conventional housings, bulb replacements are typically less than 1 watt because of heat dissipation issues (LEDs can usually only withstand about 80deg max)

So a 1W LED is probably equivalent to a 10w incandescant.

yeah but how much light does a 2W LED put out?

The law states that you can only have one pair of lights rated at over 21 watts for low beams, so this means that fog light that are on with the low beams is illegal. I have come up with a solution for those who like the factory fog light look. I simply have used a low wattage H3 globe to use in th...

hmm i didnt think of that. But then again its only on start up, not all the time. We also keep the switch on auto in the 06 forrester. you can tell i dont ask for help much =P ill have a look at the gasses, first time it happened was with original gas about 4 years after but it dumped it slowly just...

ahh ok
stupid sa, probs what the actually engine number is but not recorded

i looked into some kits, came up the same price as rx disks which i couldnt afford. The only reason i can see about a rear hand brake is for hand break turns and you want hydro for that. if you want it to hold your car look for a line locker i think they were called, put hydraulic pressure though th...

if im around ill come down defs. well i was thinking we all build somthing like an RX for rally/motorkhana, the project i saw had them all build it then go to the national event and race with it and the fastest person won the trophy. as for what happens with the car idk. but the thing is we all agre...

Fog lights are not just stock. Stock fog lights are fake. This is a set of true fog lights: http://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/large/hla/005700881-pri.jpg Yellow light reflects less in floggy conditions, thus allowing you to see more of the road. They're also mounted low to try and project und...

thats what happens when you jump of the forum for a while........ hahah

well weve got that set, lets put together a car? I am thinking competion car but yeahs

they dont look that complicated, not even sure if theyre tuned length, with no cross overs.........
defies my logic.






sorry bout the crappy pics, some exhausts i admire
