17-3 Imlachs : 1989 Brumby in white. Base model (single headlights), has had aftermarket nudgebar added. Front mudflaps, both damaged. Stainless trim damaged all round bed but good over windows. Pass-side taillight gone, drivers side damaged beyond repair. No AC, no PS, no intermittent wipers. Doors...

I am looking for expressions of interest in EA82 rear disc setup(s). I have been rebuilding a few sets imported from the US. Indicative selling price will be $500 (note this does not include rotors, which would need to be sourced locally through eBay, SCA, etc), based on my costs : $150 US - parts $...

I'd be interested in the gearbox...can you lmk if still available.

If it's on a stand get your significant other to sit in the car and press hard on the brake pedal. But yes, much easier with a wheel attached and jumping on the breaker bar. Force + speed works best, not just force.

I believe the TX3 gives you a suitable caliper but you still need the hubs from a RX or similar. Probably harder to find a TX3 being wrecked these days than RX parts!

Either a couple washers between the runners and the seat frame, or between the runners and the floor. I haven't got around to re-pulling the seats to add the shims (the drivers side just bolts down without shims, and the passenger side is currently held with only 3 bolts! I may have to dig up some s...

I'd guess the transmission weighs more than a long block. Those steel gears weigh a ton on Subaru boxes.

Traffic has all moved to FB. This is common to all forum's I've been involved in over the years in various interests. The one exception that seems to keep going is USMB. The problem is when these forums get closed down all the information built up by members is lost (FB is just hopeless, many posts ...

As far as I know the 86 and BRZ are the same (the BRZ simply has BRZ embroidered in them), and the GTS86 are leather and have the heated element on both and height adjustment on the drivers side. I have fitted GTS seats to my Brumby and they need to be shimmed slightly (especially the passenger side).

No, a Leone rear bumper is completely different in profile (sits too high), you need a USDM rear bumper or a AgQuip bar. eBay seller rebel2red happens to have one of the latter for sale (which is the first I've seen for a long time). I will have a spare USDM rear bar shortly (I am upgrading mine fro...

I haven't seen a decent long dash for a while, the few still around always are perished badly for the vents. Give John at Volks-Baru a try, he has a MY sedan out front for parts I believe.

Why aren't you returning it to NICE ? Unless they listed it as not suitable for post-85 it's a clear violation of retail law as not fit for purpose.

I heard today the after-market doesn't fit properly - you will need to use the original "C" section from your Brumby and the rest of the setup will be fine from aftermarket. Doesn't matter if you pay the extra to NICE, you'll have the same issue.

I took the plunge on a set of GTS86 seats yesterday, and it is definitely not just a drop-in solution. The 86 seat rails are mounted on a thinner gauge base with 3 to 4 studs per rail (3 on each except one side of the drivers seat has 4). These studs are extremely difficult to remove (on the drivers...

I can't comment on the part itself (I bought genuine from Subaru a few years back, amazingly their price was less than this). BUT I did find the same set on eBay for less : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ignition-Barrel-Lock-Switch-For-Subaru-Brumby-Leone-DL-GL-New-Set-/172643442171?hash=item283259ddfb:...

Assuming this is still in stock, I could ship to you for cost ($58) + shipping.

$200 from a wrecker should be a fair price for the headlight w/ballast. My guess is it'll be a stupid modern design where you have to pull the front bumper off to access the headlight, but that isn't a difficult job by any means. I'd suggest contact any of the dozen or more eBay sellers who flout th...

My setup is 2wd MY 22 spline inner CV and early Lib (also 2wd?) 22 spline outer CV. The outers can be bought new from Hardy Spicer. But I am running a L-series box, not a WRX box.

Anyone here looking for a set of rear discs ? I have a line on a set (possibly excluding the rotors, which would cost a fair bit to ship from the US) for around $160 US plus shipping from the US to you. I sold the last set I found on USMB but if anyone here wants them let me know.

Wheels are available, 16". Three have practically no tread, one has great tread (must have been a spare).
