As for that door...well...

+1 for dynamat

Used it on all my cars now, no more rattles and much better sound quality

New gear for the L over the last couple of months New driveshafts Rally competition steering wheel New head unit and speakers Central locking Tachometer and vacuum gauge Had a 2.5" exhaust through to a 5" canon but it was too loud for city driving so I installed a center hiflow muffler to help back ...

I would check your fuel filter/lines and your throttle sensor.

I had a similar problem not long back and turned out most of my problems were caused by a blockage in the fuel filter....$8 later and I was back in business

Good luck with the sale mate, wish I was in tassie, could use a donor L in good nick like that.


Do you know what brand of springs they are and who supplied them as I have been looking for a decent set of lowered springs for a while but am struggling to source them out.

Yep, phizinza has done it so many times I am pretty sure he said he can do a complete EA82 engine swap in just over an hour.

As far as I know the heads can be removed without pulling the engine.

But lots say pulling the engine makes it a lot easier

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Ended up running new speaker wire as it was still running the original wiring which was pretty terrible. Also used some new screws in my MDF speaker mounts which toned down some of the rattling. Seems the windows being pillarless are a little rattly but not m...

Hi All. Bit dissapointed. Just installed a new sound system in the L Series with Dynamat in the doors. Installed: 1x Pioneer USB Head Unit (Can't remember the model but it was a pretty powerful one) 2x Sony Xplod 260W 6" Speakers 1x Kit of Dynamat on both the driver and passenger doors. With all thi...

I am in the same boat as you, but with engine mounts.

Mine are cactus (rubber has all split and separated).

Makes the engine knock and thump when turning corners quickly/accelerating quickly.

Hopefully when I get the time over the next few weeks I will replace them

I'm not going to have the Outback ready by then so I won't be heading there to have a go. If someone else organises some people who are going I'll maybe come along for a watch and some lunch. I'm still interested in just having some lunch somewhere with a small bunch of subie drivers. Only had 4 pe...

I'm in, used to work at collingrove so I know the track quite well :P

Thanks TOONGA

The subi is getting the luxoury treatment today:

* Penrite HPR 40 + Repco Filter
* Top Gun Premium Leads
* Champion Plugs
* Full wash/wax
* Upper Engine Cleaner
* Tyre blackner
* Dynamat (goes inside the doors and stops the speakers vibrating)

Hi All. I am servicing the L tomorrow and am going to flush some Upper engine cleaner through it. I have heard that on EFI engines it should be sprayed into the vacuum lines and on a carbed engine it should go directly down the barrel of the carb? Is this true? Mine is a Carbed EA82 so I would like ...

Ok, thanks to everyone for their help.

Problem ended up being the fuel filter which I am very thankful for as it was a $12 fix :P

Thanks for the tips.

Carb is fine.

Will check out the fuel filter/lines one night this week when its less wet :P

Does anyone know what model/part number the fuel filter is incase I need to pick one up during the week?

never seen coil do this, what about look at carby throat as you squeeze accelerator quickly to view good squirt and spray of fuel from acc pump plunger. can you do qik takeoff from stop and maybe squeal wheels ? Yea i can dump the clutch and spin the wheels and take off pretty fast without a proble...

Thanks. It actually has an aftermarket chrome air filter which is only a couple of months old, it breethes fine but some of the hoses (e.g the valve cover hoses and blower hose were left disconnected as obviously they don't have anywhere to plug into with the new filter, but the car was running fine...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. New development. Its still runs perfectly through the city but whenever I put my foot flat to the floor on a high speed road it starts missing and then just looses all its power. Any ideas? I am thinking of replacing the plugs and leads, could it be those? (t...

Paul is a top bloke and always done good work.

Glad to see another happy customer :P
