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

Have been in Tasmania since last Sunday with work, travelled extensively from north to south, amazing the number of Subaru's down here, all models.

Back to paradise tomorrow!

Any signs of increased engine temperature due to the reduced airflow through the radiator mate?. I had mine set up in the same position but ended up removing them due to air flow concerns.

Well after a couple of hundred K's with a back up manual switch fitted (just in case) and a hot spring day all is well with the beast!.

Also whacked in the Weber conversion this arvo............ quite a difference!

thanks guys

Thanks Paul, manual switch now in place & effective, I'm doing a couple of hundred K's tomorrow so will see if the sensor cuts in, if not well the back up works.

Skull, the joys of toys mate

Absolutely no replacement thermoswitch here in Woolgoolga, hopefully Coffs will have one in stock

Thanks Paul, tried to earth from (yellow) sensor switch- no difference. I'll rig a switch as recommended from the sensor and see if this makes any difference. Look like a new thermo switch required. Something for the weekend along with the webber conversion it seems.

Guys, other than removing the thermo switch to check it's serviceability does anyone know of an alternative method.
The fan works when run direct from the battery, however I'm not confident that the thermo switch is kicking in

Thoughts?

Could be mate, the kit has a much larger stud pattern for the carby & adapter plate

Paul, here in Australia (east coast) they are commonly called suppressors.. I do like the home made version & shall pinch that one mate. ta

Well, back from interstate with work, much awaiting Webber & conversion kit arrived on Friday, just in time for the week end. Original carby removed and ......... yep you guessed it adaptor plate supplied with new kit wrong................................bugger. Next week?

TRumpets look good mate, I also had them on my classic Bonneville. only one negative they will suck in crap so the risk remains if you go that path.

Chasing a Webber to suit EA81, manual choke preferred not essential & an adapator kit if available

cheers

Brilliant! and like to know what the engine is mate

You Sire are a Guru, despite what others say. Beers on me when we meet

Guys, looking at putting a 5 speed into the 89 Brumby(EA81) , any hints ?, is there a requirement to modify the pan etc?

At 400000K, I suggest she is entitled to a nice cup of tea, a bex powder and a good lay down whenever she likes

No smoke & mirrors guys, the Missus has the same model & colour, 2010 RX hatch, it'll do it, bloody grand little car(s), Next she want's the WRX, but...............

We used 6X6 landrovers during my military service!, I'm equally interested in the proposed power train needed to propel a 6x6 Brumby!

Quite clever really, but what a Wan&^%

LPG, expands 270 times when released, therefore a 40 litre tank expands to 10800 ltrs of LPg. Stick that in the boot or cab of your vehicle, add that the gas is heavier than air and has a flashpoint (butane) of -104 degrees C, and ignition temperature of 493-5490C You do the math!, in a word...........

The minister of war & finance's 2010 RX Imprezza hatch has it, it is a grand concpet however I can't seem to break away from the good old handbrake starts etc
