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

I was just wondering if anyone has done the 4wd track that run along the beach from Robe to Beachport? I thought I would give it a try in the summer. send an email to hellsube @ hotmail.com, he lives at Mt Gambier and has likely driven those tracks. He also has a big fat Patrol to pull you out when...

Problem is US dollar against AUD has increased some 15c in the last few weeks too, which doesn't help the cross rates.

If you don't like that stuff just turn the sigs off. Between having sigs turned off, and Adblock Plus in Firefox all I have to censor out myself is when I want to stop reading posts because they have turned to crap. And if it is of interest to anyone... 1982 MY Sportswagon yellow 1984 L DL Wagon blu...

the MY of engine/harness would be handy...

I wouldn't do it with the two rola style racks. You could fab something up that spreads the load better over three racks though and it should be ok.

Better off towing a trailer and keeping the roof for a tinny :P

Here is the series of photos I took when I made my plate from 16mm Aluminium. http://images.benandmichelle.net/albums/userpics/10001/adaptor1.jpg Make sure the gearbox is actually going to fit http://images.benandmichelle.net/albums/userpics/10001/adaptor2.jpg Rough cut some 3 or 6mm ply to shape ht...

LOL!!!!!

The whole radiator support panel, ie the whole front panel of the car needs to be replaced with one from a twin headlight model...

Good chance the heads are ok for those turbo guys too... BTW, the whole kit is uber dodgy... Is it a forum member? ...

if you get 6207RS with the rubber seals, pop the seals and replace the grease with wheel bearing grease and put the seals back in place and just reuse your old oil seals you'll be fine.

It makes no knocking sounds but it has now got a bizzare noise that i can only discribe as a high pitched chirping that comes on when the revs rise. My call is the turbo mount gaskets are rooted. Are they new? Is the mounting plate warped? Did you do the rebuild or was it paid? Take it back for war...

That link takes me to the ad for your ea82t?

I had 2" body blocks and 3" strut blocks on an L with 27" BFG's and Scorpions and still couldn't make full lock without rubbing. I would call 27's for being the largest practical tyre on a 2" lift...

I have a 1/4 sheet of stainless in the shed I am about to build a boat tank from, would do a 70 litre tank I could fit under the brumby easily giving a range of well over a thousand k's... About $60 worth of stainless....

IF you buy a live axle 4wd. you DO NOT do away with CV joints they still have 2 each diff

I thought they only had one each diff? and then, only at the front? but hey - I have never owned anything other than subes so what would I know!

Mate that 76 sedan of yours is unbelievable. I'd love an old school subie like that! What's it like with the auto?

You may have blown a CV joint, 2" strut tops is a LOT of angle for CV's to be under for any length of time...

My copy says the same...

Japan has been running unleaded since the 70's, no need to do anything to any pre 85 sube to run on ulp. I run E10 only in both my 87 brumby and my 03 H6 Outback and both cars run fine (and better than on normal ulp)

And eventually, you'd end up with something like this
