My carby "L" has done about 320k (plus a few kms with a broken speedo cable) and has only recently started to "age". It has had repairs and oil changes etc but never a major overhaul.

250k is barely run in ;)

I've never *tried* to take the stickers of my "L", but it was giving it a clean a while back with a pressure cleaner (it was left unloved by me for abOut 6 months), and a bunch of the small blue squares along the side came off. :| About that citrus stuff someone mentioned in a post years ago - we go...

Where's WRXER ? In case everyone forgot he put his Brumby plans on hold while he built a 4G63 turbo AWD (Mitsubishi Evo for those who don't know) Jumbuk. Last I heard it was all but finished. Apparently the Jumbuk is basically a Lancer underneath and theis conversion is fairly straight forward :) T...

An ouchie to the Foz :(

So, the other week, my darling wife whilst reversing a trailer up our drive way, paid a little too much attention to where the rear of the trailer was going, and not enough to the front of the car. :( http://distilleryimage5.instagram.com/166eef58debc11e1b4d31231380f8c75_7.jpg Picture The damage is ...

Can you not just get longer studs, and when using your other wheels have the end of the studs stick out past the nut?

looking good. plan on making draws? Further to what Thunder said, is the fridge on rollers to slide out? I've used a couple of other peoples and that is an incredibly useful feature (although those runners are not that cheap). Looks good. I've got a cargo barrier, we always just packed camping gear...

I loved 4wding my subaru, powersliding the wagon on 18psi around bogged big 4x4s on the beach was awesome fun :) Is that tyre pressure or boost? :cool: As people have said, a subi will never be the same car as a land cruiser. But... A ten year old commodore isn't the same car as a new WRX either.
