Subanator's L-Series Touring Wagon

Post by subanator » Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:08 am

This is basically as I got it:

Already converted with import EA82T. Had to sort out some serious tuning issues with computer and injectors, runs great now with VL booster fuel pump and Malpassi fuel reg.
Came with TJM Bullbar, 14" Marquis alloy wheels.

Basically had no time to do much else, but in the pipeline I will need to do:
3" Lift Kit; Nankang 14"x27" tyres back on; Intercooler; Limited Slip Diff.

sweet ride
Like to see your ride there Subi, yours looks great too.

I have a few jobs to do before Xmas while I am on holidays:
- Weld leaking front pipe crack -CHECKED OK, LEAK ACTUALLY FROM BOTTOM OF CAT.
- Reseal power steering rack - DONE, AND NOT EASILY, SURPRISED MYSELF REALLY!
- Replace front struts and springs - DONE, HANDLES LIKE A DREAM NOW
- CV boot changed - DONE, AND REPACKED WHEEL BEARING ON THAT SIDE
- Change rear springs
- Put radio deck back in
- Fit keyless remote
- Fit turbo engine wiring harness
- Misc interior jobs

Then later into next year I will get it sorted for off road:
- Lift kit fitted
- Nankang 27" tyres fitted
- Intercooler
- Exhaust changed to suit lift, possibly new dump pipe

It will be a while before she see's dirt or sand under the tyres!
I have been crook the last 3 months and havent been able to do shit to this or the other car, hope next year is better.

I got it from a bloke local in Baldivis about 9 months ago. Had reciepts for head gaskets replaced etc and he spent dollars on CV's and radiator parts, got sick of spending anymore towards it. He bought if from a yard with overheating probs, was the radiator and not the heads as he found out later!!
I got it and needed new alternator (my fault), and new turbo computer instead of N/A one, additional fuel pump and new adjustable fuel regulator.
