Who would hate me if I said I'd like that running gear for my Brumby? Nah just kidding, that's very cool.

G'day there mate,
Check out the Addco swaybar available for the front from the US. The bend goes under the exhaust instead of over. Would be heaps larger than the one you're using as well.

Cheers

G'day all Not sure if anyone can help, I'm chasing some side mouldings for my 91 Brumby. The pieces I need are the left door & the piece directly behind the door on the quater panel in front of the wheel. They are the ones with the chrome strip along the top. My car unfortunately sustained sone dama...

G'day, as has been said above, the Saas boss kit is good. I got one off EBay & used an old Autotecnica wheel I already had.

Cheers Jake

Hey mate,
Think we might be up at the cross for the service too. I wouldn't mind heading out for a bit. Of course I'll have the usual limitations of a standard Brumby,not that it's ever been a problem before.
I'm pretty easy about where you wanna go, just let me know where to turn up.

Cheers Jake

G'day mate,
That's looking so much better than when you got it. When's the Brumby cruise gonna be on?

Cheers Jake

Why not LPG if you can, you gotta remember straight gas cars are a lot better than the old troublesome dual fuel conversionds of the 90s. They are very good on fuel, but think of cutting that roughly in half again. Good job on finishing off your project engine too, you must be satisfied to finally g...

G'day
Yeah I did notice that cd player, no way is that from the 1980s. This must be a pic of it on show in more modern times, imagine owning that thing.

G'day

Hey that's a good starting point for that money. I've been seeing heaps of Brumbys on gumtree lately, seems there's a few more on there every couple of days.
Can't wait to see it done, I'm a fan of the lowered Brumby thing.

Cheers Jake

Getting very close there, congrats in advance Bennie. All the info I've got from your posts has been very helpful. You manage to be very detailed with the info & with pics to go with it. Has helped me more than once.

Cheers Jake

Good point about EBay, I know a few people that have scored bargain fridges off there. Just search Engel or Weaco, there's usually a fair few to choose from.

Looking real good with those wheels, yeah I like matt white too. They're great little utes, once you get it running well you won't look back. If you have a timing light you can try setting the timing to 10 degrees btdc. I did this & run BP ultimate now, made a pretty noticeable difference. Cheers Jake

Once again I'm very impressed, with both your dedication to the project & the work your doing. Can't wait till I see you paint this & fit that motor you had for it.

Cheers Jake

Very interesting stuff, they are probably a much easier pump to get parts for than the old my job.

Hello & welcome, that's a great collection of Subies. I really like those hatchback models. Probably because everyone always wants what they can't have. I always remember that one from the Cannonball movie. I watched that over & over when I was a kid.

Cheers Jake

Good you got the power sorted mate, or I might have been able to beat you up the mount next time. I gotta get my aircon gassed up again now. I let the gas out during my battle with the oil pump. Gotta say though, that this year I haven't looked to use it once while Ive been driving the Brumby. Cheer...

Yeah too true Bennie, I'd be very interested in seeing some photos of your Forester, & a bit of a rundown on the mods & plans for it.

Cheers Jake

Hey mate,
What a bugger of an issue, not really sure where the problem could be on that one without looking at it in person. But another forum member just got really good results off a place called Subabits. They are in Clayton, so if you're close to them I'd give em a try.

Cheers Jake

That's a nice little RX you've got there, I'll look forward to seeing the coming improvements. I got to fix my oil leak from the pump today, which had gotten to the point that it was close to undrivable due to the oil burning off the exhaust choking me with fumes. Once I got it all back together I w...

Ok, I got home this morning & got stuck into this. I took off the starter motor & jammed the flywheel with a big screwdriver, then after a bit of loctite freeze & release spray the bolt on the crankshaft pulley came off. Now it was down to the business of getting the rest of the oil pump out of the ...
