Without seeing the car in person I would say that your front guards have already had the treatment. The rear looks like it's been trimmed a little, and the front the big bit with stone protection removed. The rear wheels shouldn't need anything. Sorry if i confused you talking about front and rear i...

just reading BrumbysKid sign ature - a race engine ? and truck tyres ? Race engine? Lol I wish. The only thing that's race about it is the way I thrash it. Well almost. What's been done to it and continuing to be done could be considered a race engine. Probably the most race like EA81 out there exc...

Yes there is a need for either cutting OR rolling the guards and fun with a hammer. It's not much but the rear needs a bit of a hammer out, unless you are going to do the radius rod modification to push the wheels forward more. Then there is the front (even without the above). A mate just cut off th...

The shackles you use now have to be rated... I know that much

Which U-Pull-it did you go to? I'm assuming Gillman. Anything interesting there? Lonsdale is kinda boring at the moment.

Just needs to be engineered by someone, or go over the pits at regency. Either will work as long as the modifications have been done properly. So best bet is to take it to your local dodgy engineer Oh how I wish I lived in Qld for that

The rear trailing bush is where the swing arms pivot freely on the torsion bar. Originally Press fit, but come as a split bush with crush tubes. The kit listed above is WRONG! Turns out you actually need the front Lower control arm kit (SPF1097K). Just remove the old bush including outer tube, then ...

Precisely! However eastern states may have to go over the pits yearly for RWC but i'm sure they know how to get away with illegal mods haha. No officer I don't have a perma-shim LSD, I just broke a shaft and haven't been able to replace it yet... Or my favorite for most mods like HID's, Sorry sir, d...

The thing everyone is forgetting about is the likely hood of your Subaru getting pulled over and a cop checking your hubs for this/ realizing whats been done and that it's illegal. Unless your driving like a dick/ something obvious for them to defect you, the only way you will get picked up is when ...

I'm making 54kw atw and about 200nm of torqu after everything the rebuild. Really want to re tune it to 98 and do another dyno run. Then get a carby to suit E85 haha One day i'm going to take an EA81 as far as possible, haven't thought about how reliable I would make it. Might make 2, 1 going absolu...

80 in 2nd at that round about is great fun!
We really need to compare your 2 cars and my Brumby!
Would be great to see the differences they have and what they will each do with what has been done

Wanna make a fast EA? Re sleeve the bores, weld up the ports in the heads and start from scratch with them, oversized valves at 23 degrees, little more compression, lumpy as cam, forged internals, custom intake, a big 350 holley, FULL MSD ignition gear, run E85 fuel. Only thing missing is an STi tur...

Do you want extra spotlights or the inner high beam lights to come on?

I dont think Penrite has done itself any favours by labelling that recommended oil "diesel" when it is the recommended oil for older reconditioned petrol engines....just sayin'. It's labelled diesel due to the diesel detergent in it, meaning it is suitable for diesel. Diesel oil is ok for diesel an...

Not that hard, Tweety did single point FI.
Just depends on how many sensors you want and if you can find/ get someone to write a decent code for you.
So whats that extra pulley for? Power steering?

Wheel nuts not done up tight (you would be suprised) Or my favourite, which caused this problem for me was the mechanic not doing the castle nut up tight enough on the CV. Was pissing me off, and thought my whole hub was going to have to come off. Started to take everything off the front left until ...

Really? A 1" suspension lift will do that? I thought you could get away with 2" before this starts to become a problem.

The easy way to make a 6wd would be to go gearbox, gearbox, diff. Just need to modify the input shaft of the gearbox/ front/ center diff of a subie to take a prop shaft. If you think how a Subie gearbox works it is like that 1st diff with PTO... Input at front, 2 driveshafts, then an output at the b...

Ahh too easy, so no damage if too tight. Just going to have to work out what an appropriate size is now.

My pushrods have end caps that fall off and I can adjust the rockers

Steptoe what do you think about my valve clearance? What do you reccomend?

The engine builder got new lifters from memory they might be solid, but dunno then sent the cam off to his favorite grinder, CamTech Cams.
