Before you start making adjustable strut tops or slotting the mounting holes in your strut towers, you might want to check the condition of your suspension components. Bent struts, broken strut tops, bent lower control arms and worn out lower control arm bushes are just some of the things that can c...

Plate type LSD is the only real solution if you can't find an R160 Detroit Locker. I have 4 of them and can't imagine why you'd go offroad without one. They actually work too, not like genuine Toyota rubbish which don't work from new so i replace them with Detroit Lockers (have installed four of the...

He bought the car under the impression it had a locker. He removed the cover and emailed me a pic of an open diff.

You'll need a fair bit of trimming to fit 30" but it's been done.

Turns out it's not a Detroit Locker (surprise!). Does have a bullbar, rear tyre carrier, 14" rims and electric windows if anyone needs them.

The metallic blue colour was only available in the Sports model (targa roof, twin headlight, white rims) between 1987 and 1990 after which the Sports was discontinued and twin headlights were used on the Standard model. The Ag-Quip package was only ever offered to Standard models. Intermittent wiper...

I've got it pulled down to a long block to mock up the dry sump and new headers. The autopsy will have to wait until they're all done. Through the hole in the block though, it looks like No.4 conrod has let go... General consensus among Suby gurus I've talked to is that the motor starved for oil aft...

Must be thinking of someone else....

exciting stuff mate. you thinking of using a DCCD center with the 6 speed or another tight viscous coupling? Scott's STI 6 speed is stock and its put up with heaps of abuse. What are your plans for the built box? For starters I'll use the stock gearset which are all the same ratio up to 4th and the...

After the motor destroyed itself in April we had to get a replacement sorted out so we could still do the Finke. Jeff from ********* tracked down a version 6 STI which was a direct bolt-in and we were good to go. No pics but it looks exactly the same anyhow. Finke continued to be a great learning cu...

What I was saying about the water cross over the other night won't work with the factory parts. The return/outlet hits on the bell housing. You will have to make it up if you want to change the direction of the water. You're right, I've tried it already. What about the EJ22 water manifold? Had a fe...

Didn't have a real good start to the year when we went to Alice for the Zaglass Memorial race. We got about 3 minutes into Prologue when the motor blew. It actually kept running for a few minutes and made enough power to keep us limping towards the finish line and towards the pits. Didn't make it in...

Woo the Brumby lives :) Have loved reading this thread with all the ups and downs. Good luck with racing it again :) Yep, it's definitely a work in progress. Thanks. only a small dint......... but i did notice the string line being used for the wheel alignment was it For wheel alignment and to keep...

A few years ago when I built the front strut towers, the remote canister hose just fouled on the bonnet. Because I wanted 10' travel struts with only a 2" body lift, I jacked the rear of the bonnet up with spacers until we got around to fixing it properly. First step was to cut a hole in the bonnet ...

They do look better lifted and the higher the better. It's just a shame about our strict roadworthy laws.

The plate on the top of the strut is 6mm thick That should be fine. The difficult part will be stopping your camber adjustment bolts from moving. Not sure what you mean by radius plate spacer The Radius Plate is the bracket that one end of the Radius Rod attaches to. It attaches to the body with th...

Made some cardboard templates...




...and turned them into steel

Autopsy reveals there's not a lot holding the bearing carrier onto the factory trailing arm. http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9683/p1010893o.jpg If I was starting again, I'd machine up a new thicker housing from billet but for now I just want to repair and strengthen the existing arms so will reuse ...
