if the bearing is bad enough you will be able to hear it moving the wheel by hand.

jack the front end up grab the wheel and turn the wheel side to side.

I had one go a while back and you could feel the vibration in your hands.

I am chasing a known good dual range box to suit gen1 liberty.

currently running a gen1 3.9 box but would consider a later model dual range if required parts are available.

torsen would be great on the road. should work well behind your dccd setup too. custom shafts wont be cheap though.

what is your motivation to fit the R180? You are going to blow the gearbox long before you do the R160 diff.

You can't dish out enough abuse to require an R180 unless you have a 6 speed or built auto in my opinion.

thanks mate. i cant remember if i did that already when i converted it.

i am from wollongong originally. might have to come check out your conversion next time I am down.

- The air assist creates a weird thing where while the cars moving with the clutch in or in neutral the ECU keeps the revs above 1,500 RPM and pulses it up and down between 1,500 and 2,100 RPM. So you sound dumb when coming up to lights, but when you stop it settles into a nice idle. It also reduce...

havn't forgotten you mate. So far I need

4 x square plastic clips that hold the plastic sill covers in place next to seats
blank black plate where air suspension switch is in 4wd wagons (above cigarette lighter)
A/C vent as mentioned

please pm me your bank details.

would you be willing to post me the A/C vent highlighted in the attached image?

Cheers

grey interior?

its a late gen2 - integrated ECU and TCU

bugger im OS. Would like to meet those guys

i had a similar run in with a wire wheel grabbing and trying to kill me. Lucky for me it hit my leg not my face. ouch!

I have used a full face shield ever since the first time a 1mm cutting disc exploded on me. getting hit anywhere in the face is no fun, not just your eyes.

use an exedy HD clutch from a 2.5l Same dimensions as the 2.2l clutch but more clamp pressure. you will kill the gearbox long before the clutch fails. I fitted one to my car recently and cant really tell the difference in pedal weight compared to a stock clutch. R160 rear end will be fine. They stil...

this may help That buggy looks like the ones that Oriental 4WD at Gepps Cross make. Can't wait for the Peake Trip Yep, thats the ones. Although they are called rising sun car service. The business has Recently been sold but Steve is still making the buggy's from different premises. http://www2.pajer...

steve at rising sun motors built some brumby's with custom long travel front struts. give them a call and ask how he did it.

edit: tried to find their site for you - they dont seem to exist anymore.

mate buy this car http://ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=26072 I built it for a mate about 10 years ago and its got all the good gear in it. Use lift kit / suspension / GT foz alloys / tyres on your car and part the rest out. You will probably get most of your money back selling it for parts on gum...

If i ever have to open the box up i will look into sorting the speedo (and will be chasing you for advice!!)

well done getting the speedo spot on mate. i miss mine being accurate.

mate just fix the thing! it doesn't work now so you cant make it any worse.
