G'Day guys/gals.
My name is Levi.
Been wanting a Brumby for a while now and have just bought a 90, the one with twin headlights. Has Tourer canopy. Bull bar. Just put in a decent stereo.
From Newcastle area in NSW.
Wanting to do elec windows, 5spd, winch, spotties, possibly 2" susp lift, sunraisers and tint.
Currently researching if a variable wiper install is possible, maybe added on the steering column on the left and using the existing wipers switch for spotties.
Thats enough rambling

Hi guys,
I just purchased a 1996 Impreza Hatch GX AWD with 155kms on the clock As my second car, I am looking at maybe lifting it a little, maybe with just larger wheels and tyres and a few other mods here and there, as this is my first Subaru, I have some questions so I will start a thread for that.
Thanks
Wade

From good ol' Kyet'on! I'm originally from Cobaw...
Sounds like a good starting base for an offroader! If you can get down to melbourne checkout pick a part and imalach's (I think that's the correct spelling - formally known as Centre Rd Wreckers - on Centre Rd, Springvale )
Cheers

Hello outback bloke and all others on site
My name is barry and I have just started a build of an endeavour rally car here in Toowoomba qld. The old ea82 is out with A sweet ej22 MPFI going in son. I have been reading as much as I can on the conversion but think I'm going to need some real help. I had been texting paul from WA but he is extremely busy and really not available until the 04/12 I believe . Anyway hope fully it can ask for some professional advice for you guys. Hope you can help. I have just finished my cutting the bones of my adaptor plate but about to go to workshop to locate the holes I need. Then it's a lazer cut job for someone. Do you think I'm on the right track. Cheers Barry.

You're all good mate. We were experiencing some glitches late last week for some reason. They seem to have cleared up at the moment - hopefully it stays that way...Alpinebarry wrote:Hi guys can you tell me if this post works . I am have I heap of trouble seeing where I'm at with this site?

Howdy from Melbourne! I've grown up with Subies in my family for as long as I can remember, and my current daily is a Forrester XT. I recently bought a 1977 1600 Wagon and it's a little gem! Currently fixing up a few things for roadworthy, but looking forward to doing some rest work to get him more original.
Just from a quick browse of this forum I can see this is the place to be for Subie fans, glad I found it! Looking forward to chatting with you all and seeing your pics and tips.

Finally found an avatar photo to post... you sort of get the idea.
The moral of the story is bullets are dangerous kids.
Even if your bullets are rolling on the floor, you should never take your eyes off the road.
No matter how yummy the licorice is or how nice the chocolate coating tastes, bullets aren't worth crashing the car.
Personally I can't stand the taste of them, guess I'm safe, but I picked up the wreck today and there's bullets everywhere inside it....

That is one sweet 77 Wagon, always remembered my Neighbours one and doing a clutch for him, Only Engine I have ever lifted out unaided by myself to do a clutch those early engines are so light.
Definately get rid of the black and bring back the 70's Chrome look such a desireable and relatively rare car these days yet still so practical.
