I read an old advertisement for L series automatic saying that when the wipers come on or under hard breaking and accelerating it automatically switches into 4wd. Do all 3 speed L series do this or is that for the AWD versions?

well my 1800 dollar one is no perfect one either. Exhaust was shagged whole system including y pipe, wheel bearings shot, rack ends shot, rack boots one wasn't even a rack boot and the other appeared to be the factory one, it had the filthiest oil in it and had 5L of oil in it and as a result leakin...

Discovered that my suby was running 20 degrees advanced dropped it back to 12 degrees and will be waiting to test 98 octane in it.

ahh ok just gumtree reckons brumbys have 215mm ground clearance vs 190mm of the L series but that must be with suspension raised up on the brumby.

do brumbys have more ground clearance than L series if so would it be possible to fit brumby springs to an L series wagon.

does anyone know where in SE QLD to get a snorkle and wheel carrier fabricated and fitted to an L series and what sort of $$$ it would cost for each?

do gen 1s have HGs too?

your model venom is it a gen 1 or 2

love it looks way awesome!

I like the space plus I feel like the outback looks like a modern L series and I love what the L series gives you.

If one wanted something a little bit more modern but didn't want to go forester. Would a 1997-2000 outback be a good upgrade on an L series? or would it not be an upgrade? Requirements are for the car to yes go off road, and the transmission to be auto. Would the L series be better off road? also wh...

got me stuffed its so american might as well say miles per gallon. Ive raid about 9L on the highway and 15 around town according to carsales. if thats true than it drinks worse then my old AU3 XR8. but I guess yeah cant take the XR8 off road and 4 cylinder rego is cheaper

what are the turbos like on fuel? had some guy at the local subaru dealer telling me that 450 to a tank is about what you average with the turbo until the very latest model. that true or a good salesmen's pitch?

would the n/a motor be a better choice? given one might be able to get a lower spec never model?

Yay what might be the best vintage for around 6k

so a friend of mine is looking at getting into suby. she likes the forester. Question is how well do the GT foresters go off road? she will be choosing an auto one regardless. so the low range discussion wouldn't be necessary.

Spotted this for sale in Toowoomba going very cheap too.

will the running of 98 and advancing the timing decrease fuel economy or increase it? Car I have is an EA82 carby with 178 000 kms on it. Main issues for it is leaking crank seal and proberly needing new plugs and leads before I tune.

so far since change to 91 I am now using 11.55 L per 100 around town and 11.16 with a mixture of around town and highway with probably 70% of it being highway. still seems crappy but is better than it was doing I think. car does likely need a major service as I haven't yet done the routine change pl...

well its made the car alot better than the standard exhaust that was on it. was getting about 14 around town with old exhaust on it.
