Why do you want that?

Do you think a bullbar is strong enough to use as a recovery point?

Yeah Tweety, looks pretty flash ;)

Why do you need a 36mm socket?

Fitted a new water pump and thermostat to the quadcam ej25, managed to put a new timing belt kit on unassisted, and got it right first time thanks to instructions from this site.

You guys rock.

The 36mm socket is for the castle nut in the centre of your hub on the MY's and L series. For the liberty onwards I think it's a 32 - I found that out the hard way the other day on my mate's foz...

Taza, have you got a seperate thread for the supercharger install? What other supporting mods? From what I read online they're not cheap as a kit - where'd you source yours?

No, I need to start one. Will get onto that tonight :-D

I got mine from ebay, bought 2 of them and got a deal. One for my 2.0l foz and the other for a mates 03 2.5l Outback.
All up the cost to setup and install is only about $700, cheaper than a raptor kit of $4000.

Yep for now, a rebuild will probably come along this year. Atleast that way everything is in top condition and running like new.

I have to add a rising rate fuel pressure regulator too so I don't starve the engine an possibly a resistor on the air flow meter to trick the ECU. But I will see how it goes first, im sure a few tweaks will need doing.
