Don't worry stinky I didn't forget..

And heres a recent pic from a loveday 4x4 park trip..

I am seriuslly thinking about putting in a EJ AWD box, plus turbo, plus rear and maybe front LSD..
I have so much more fun the subie rally cross style instead of 4wd stuff.

Wrecker... 310K km and it was in running order. They just got it in from someone who left it in victor harbor because it stopped on them or something like that. It had a bad IAC, and the gearbox was making interesting noises. $700 was a bargain I admit. But I've seen similar cars go on ebay for $1000. You'd only go the half cut if you were really worried about reliability. Which I am not.

Oh, and heres a recent problem I encounted..

I've thought up a new name for the Brumby... Inferno.. I figure it matches recent experiences it has had..

So, all heil Inferno, the burn'in hot Brumby..

I sold her...
And now that she's gone (hopefully to a good home) I thought a slideshow of what we went through would be a nice way to send her off.

Thinking of 3cyl turbo diesel Suzuki.. Hoping for 3-4L per 100km.
At the moment I'm building an offroad only Suzuki hatch with a mid mount mazda 2L, RWD welded diff.

Got three other cars I'm doing up to sell (when it cools down a bit here in SA.)

I gave him my website address, but truthfully I'd rather not know anything about it now. I hate those stories of people selling their cars and weeks later hearing about them getting wrecked. I'd rather just like to think its in good hands.
Thats one reason I didn't advertise it locally. I didn't want to see it in anyone elses hands lol.
