Hey Phill, have you stopped shaking or smiling yet?

mmm that makes alot of sense:)

me thinks he may have picked up his ej20T L

Indeed this evening quiet yet excited Phil entered the yard, he made a short line for the completed EJ20T powered L wagon. It was about then that Brett decided to show him around it and take him for a test drive. With brisk acceleration Phils smile was distorted back to his lower ear and a small and faint "eeek" was heard (could have been a loose belt but i doubt it) To the back yard and a 360 vista was revealed by all in the vehicle which was then followed by a Solberg esque sideways entry to the small passage between trees and a garden shed, about now the gear lever was entering 3rd and even more speed piled on, as the car quickly came up upon the open gate. Back to 1st and a short 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear demonstation of how to enter freeway traffic from a stand still (even though the car was ot on a freeway. Twas about then that an eerie silence befell on the yard as the exhaust note rumble of the snarling boxxer was not to be heard, still we waited patiently for its return. After a breif while the owner, Phil, driving his repowered steed entered sight and proceeded to the garage. Yes he may have been a big man when he entered the car but a shaken and slightly disturbed figure emerged stumbling in his speach and fighting for stability, a smoke and beer all at the same time to bring his nerves back to some type of normality. A brief summation of the experience blurted out of Phil in random excited passages and after a beer inhaled it was back in and to the servo for some real fuel to unleash the correct amount of horspower in his gelded but sprited ride. As the sun set and he left the servo a redling engine could be heard until it blended into the noise of traffic.

A happy man...........




















Yes i think so.

LOL. Sounds like my experience when Brett took me for a test burn in the Vortex before I bought it. Can you say "whiplash" ? :PP

mmm all i can say is sounds like another happy subie driver very happy with the effort & the work that the great subaru magician (brett)has created with their car.

ps.... phill quickly learn the power of ur baby mate as then u wont get caught by the blue costumed clowns for hooning at the lights when u put ur foot down and just sit there spinning the tyres

Brooooooooooooom Brooooooooooooom !

yes the car is a completely different beast now. The thing that is impresing me the most though is the change in handling. With the constant 4wd now, it just seems to ride so much better around the bendy stuff.

Last night when i picked it up there was no exhaust conected to the rear, so as you can imagine it was VERY loud

however I took it to jack behams this morning and got my old system put back on .. (she is nice and quite now). Good for not attracting attention .. and even better for freak'n out other drivers

For an example this afternoon on the way back from jack bedhams i noticed a suzuki behind me with some kind of lettering written on the front window.. after i deciefered it, as it was backwards in my mirror. it read "smile as you go under" i knew he was riding my ass and i also new that this mother is about to be embarased. to cut a long strory short .. he was .. i let him get beside me .. let him rev the ring out of his car .. then .. gave the soob a squirt ..


YES I AM VERY HAPPY.
thanks brett and dave ..

wow sounds like a beast mate love to see some pics of her, an ej powered l series ooh i can only dream of that, anyway back to reality, my ea82 mpfi powered touring wagon aarrhh. no ej20 tho! lol... cheers Ben
