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

As a newbie to this site I've found it great but now have a prob with my 91/ea81 Brumby, it needs a new clutch no problem until the bloke at Coventry asked which one, I haven't been able to find the identity of the clutch is it a 225mm one of is it the 200mm one. Any help would be appreciated as I ...

Does your heater work well? if not, have you checked the heater core for blockages. These cores can also when blocked or restricted cause overheating. To check, disconnect hoses at firewall and using a suitable pipe join them together and bypass the heater core. You will know for sure after you driv...

The pump to my waic is getting very noisy and in need of new bearings.
The system is from a Liberty so can anyone please help me out with the bearing numbers as l would like to have them onhand when l rebuild it, thanks.

*rick of a job, l made a slide hammer to suit, got a length of rod and threaded 1 end for nuts, made up a slide, (read, drilled a lump of bigger rod), with an inner bore to slide over my rod length and flattened the other end of this rod into a hook then flame hardened it. Just push it down the gudg...

Completely different engine, Suparoo mentioned some, then there's cam, lifters, etc. etc.

Bosch 070 is a general purpose high volume fuel pump that will work very well, it too is about $150, a 2nd hand pump for me is no option, if you want reliability, always buy new on perishable parts.

Was dry here in Port, no rain.

No problem Gannon, l will be in all day but please ring first, l am really keen to see what you've done to the beast.

The cv's from Kempsey are crap, l've broken them and had bearings disintergrate in them and nearly all have done this under 12 months, try to get him to replace them without an arguement, anyway l got sick of doing this so l bought a set of Turner's from Andrew Medieke's on Hastings River Drive and ...

I have checked this with the RTA tech engineers in Sydney so l know it to be correct for NSW and what l had to do to be legal. If the replacement motor is identicle to the motor originally supplied to the vehicle in question on compliance, no certificate is ness. This leaves open reco and secondhand...

Painting plastic, rub it back with wet/dry, anything up from 400 grit will do, clean with wax/grease remover & paint with plastic primer. rub back again, clean, mask, whatever, to ready for top coat. l become unsure here as l have not painted plastic in 15 years and paints have changed, but then, yo...

What it comes down to is that we should all show respect to all the members that read the board by not using language that we should know would offend some of those that read it . Mike. Yes, that's the bottom line, not all that is said on this or any other site that l've seen could actually be calle...

Brumby's came standard with a little plate bolted under the front rail that hangs on either side to act as tow points. Look under the area where your front bumper bolts to the car, these mounts also bolt on so a previos owner may have turfed them.

Gannon, l'm not sure you would get away with a light hone, one of those cylinders looks pretty rusty, to echo what others have said, spend the money and get it done properly, or at the very least, if you choose to do the job yourself, remove the pistons if only to check the rings and to keep the cra...

how did you set up the two speeds? ive still gotta get some pipe bent up for the intake on mine.... Don't worry too much about setting the pump for two speeds, nearly everybody l've talked to about this has told me to run the pump flat out all the time. l spoke with my local auto elec the other day...

Yep, it's sitting here, will get around to fitting it, it's the standard RS type and mounts on the front of the Waic.

that's beautiful! I love the intercooler you've got ... was it hard to connect up? did you need to mod it at all ? what headers do you have? stock? or custom made? got any HP figures from it ? Thanks Stinky, your example is the one we all aspire too, yep the intercooler really is a piece of work, l...

At this point mine also is operated by a direct switch, (manual), but will be set up l hope to run by Boost control, (sorry, seriously stupid when it comes to electrics, not my field), l'll leave it up to my local auto elec.
