You might fit 215/70r16 but you'll have heaps of rubbing. Go 215/65r16 which are 27's..
245/70r16 will not fit on any subaru without major mods as they are 31's!!!
You can just fit 225/70r16 on a forester with lift and a fair amount of rubbing..

Definitely not 3.6 unless its been converted. .

Forester GT box is the way to go. My 01 auto GT does 6-7 l per 100km on the highway as its doung 2300rpm... then can drop back to 3rd and make full use of the 167 wheel kw :P

Ive got one if you need one..

Sent you a message mate..

Go for an ej205 or ej207. Most of the 207's from 2000 onwards have variable valve timing. A aus spec ej205 wrx will have it from the peanut wrx onwards (2003??). Personally id look for an STI, stronger block to handle the power upgrades everyone wants and has a 6 spedd gearbox that won't brake on th...

Keen to know this. My Hitachi has been rebuilt ~2 years ago. Running massive ignition timing.. no wonder the brum keeps up with an ej25 outback..

Standard..

Very interested! When is good yo swing by and check out the parts??

Nice!!! Ive seen that purple patrol around carlisle area when at tafe..

Be prepared for a new box. Probably the transfer case bearings or input shaft or 5th gear bearing thats at fault. Common with age.

I guess I'm lucky where I've found a source 100km from my house that had in the double digits of both kits and the majority of MY/Brumby/leone parts..

I made a mess in my pants!

I'm part way through wiring up a late model leone 2wd cluster in my brum. Atleast then I'll have a fairly factory looking tacho.

Wicked brum for the price!
The power steering alone is worth more than that!!

So we can get tailgates. What about front fenders? Prices?

Here we are 2 years later and brumby/ MY aircon kits are worth more than double this! Amazing how these prices sky rocket as they become rarer..

There will be when bouncing around offroad.. probably not onroad. Maybe at full lock.

What kind of grinding noise? Does it do it in all gears or just 1? You could use a 99-08 Outback manual box as they have the same 4.11 front diff ratio and bolt in. Or a 97-08 foz bix will work. Most of the impreza or lib boxes run different final drive ratios.. I did the same thing with a 2003 2.5l...

Good luck getting one. Ive been trying for the past 6 months to grt one at a reasonable price. If money isn't tight then you'll have no worries.
I've been lucky enough to ger a kit from a very helpful bloke on here..

Well last Saturday I should say I emailed a reseller regarding them. Then early in the week paid for them and now they should be on their way.
