Im just glad i actually found one for a "decent" price...
Been looking for ages.
Dream would be what you want, but i would be searching for ages to get that :P

Already tested it at the powerlines, wayy better.
I still prefer the beach though :P Way more fun than driving 1kmh on rocks.

Ill snap one up aswell if u got any

Done and done

Diff was a Viscous lsd so thats awesome
Gearbox and diff in, low range is wayyyyy better...

1st gear 4000 rpm at 20kph !!!
Crappy liberty low range is
1st gear 1500-2000 rpm at 20kph

So i finally found a 98 series forester gearbox, ( 1.44) low range.

Got a 4.11 rear diff for $120 ( mabye a viscous diff )

Will be putting into my 98 outback which currently has a ej20t + 2 inch spacers + forester 03 struts + ~27 inch tyres

Im pretty happy, will prob swap it over on the weekend.

Soooo

Im onto my 3rd gearbox now, my 2 other 400k + ej22 gearboxes didnt fend well against a ej20t

Anyone have any gearboxes lying around?

Ideally i would love the dual range 1.44 forester box.

But im up for a 3.9 wrx box/ even another 3.9 ej22 box.

I had this in my old liberty, i then took out that gearbox and put it in my outback ( blew reverse), once i had this in my outback dual range worked fine ?

Only thing different was i reused the dual range lever/cable/gear stick/+ linkages from the outback.

Mabye the lever is at fault here?

Update Put some 2006 forester Struts/springs in. Possibly raised it about half an inch, but my god is the ride better, the stiffer springs are wayyyy better, and i think my old outback struts were on there way out ( bouncy) I will Def be getting a 2inch lift + King raised springs at some stage. Goin...

Ok Update Put a gearbox i had out the back in, so we now have a complete set of working gears. Bought some Forester Gen Struts/Springs second hand today. Will put those in prob tonight or tomorrow. Will be getting 1" or 2" strut spacers aswell at some stage. Aswell as some Raised King springs. I was...

On the road....well kinda...

Reverse seems to have ....given up last week

So i will need to fix that up before it can be daily driven again.

Radiator looks quite new, ( doesnt really tell you the insides)

Though when i flushed the system the heater core seemed to be pretty blocked up/ or air locked.

Yeh was gona take it to a radiator guy in balcatta to give it a flush.
Just gota find the time.

As for AFM, it hasnt actually happened for 2 days now after i took it apart and cleaned it/messed with it.

Though no doubt it will happen again as apparently the purples are the worst ones

Thermostat not opening, had the issue before.

Unless you get subaru branded, doesnt open.

Yo yo So i bought another subbie... ( i have 4 in the backyard :S ) This time i got an outback, specifically Will's Turbo outback. Cleaned her up, added my Tyres/New Liberty seats. Currently running no thermostat just so i can drive it and not overheat :P. I have another engine i put in just gota fi...

Is this Will's Outback with the turbo engine? Indeed it is. Put my seats/tyres gave it a wash/cleaned inside/ Fixed some minor engine issues. Scrubbed nicely, just gota sort the head gasket at some stage, though its actually not as bad as i initially thought. The AFM is also dodgy so need another o...

Bought a new one...thats how i improved it..lol

Still much to do though.
