Brumby build with a difference
About the same - definitely needs flaring - want to do it the same as the model in my sig pic. Need to get hold of 2000-2007 model Impreza guards, rear doors and rear quarters to do it like that and that may be too expensiveEl_Freddo wrote:How far does the rear end stick out past the guards? Time for some flaring??
Cheers
Bennie
Most likely is using spare Brumby guards and rear quarters I have and extend it all

Well I've spent the last few weeks cutting chassis rails off the old rusty Brumby I had to replace the chassis rails from my good Brumby. These had the strut towers cut off and rewelded, plus the previous owner had cut out notches for the DOHC motor and there were a few other bits and pieces that needed fixing so I figured it would be easier and better to use some that didn't need all that work. Got these to fit the Brumby body better than the other ones as well
So I put the new chassis rails on the crossmember and put the engine and box in place as well - there is 75mm clearance from the front of the engine pulleys to the back of the Brumby radiator. Heaps of room for an EJ but really needs custom radiator to mount in the same spot as the Brumby one.
Now the rotary motor is 25mm longer than the EJ and the gearbox adapter is 20mm - so that leaves 30mm clearance still - I might just be able to squeeze it in after all.
And now that I have the RS and its stealing all my good bits from this Brumby I think I might change direction ever so slightly.
The RS is going to be my fun daily driver with a bit of power, a bit of handling and some good looks. And I have bought a hatchback Torana and that will be built along the lines of a circuit car so will have andling as its priority.
And that will leave the Brumby free to be more of a straight line weapon. So the plan now is to run an auto with aftermarket controller and paddle shifters. I want to put a 4 point roll cage in the tray so I thought I may as well run a rear mounted radiator and revisit the rotary motor idea.
Stay tuned....................

P.S. - I notice you've updated your signature, it looks like a finished model of your proposed Brumby - Sweet ...
Got any more pis of it ?
Yeha well its been 40 odd degrees up here for the last 2 weeks or so so I haven't had the motivation to do anything............
More pics of the model here : http://s33.beta.photobucket.com/user/ke ... 8277713645
I've got another one on the go with a rotary motor - on hold until I decide which way the real one gets built.

Are these what you've use to build it ? Also did you find any scale differences between 1:24/25 ?
P.S. - I've also been tyring to find out if they made a late model Brumby, but no luck so far ...
I was thinking of doing the same but with these ...
+ some extra bits ...
Note : See if I can find some more to Mix & Match ...

One of those WRX's (the bottom one I think) is no good as the engine is molded as part of the body and the bonnet doesn't open so the top of the engine doesn't existBantum wrote: Are these what you've use to build it ? Also did you find any scale differences between 1:24/25 ?
Yeah there is quite a bit of difference between 24 & 25:1. Mostly noticeable in the 4WD tyres and rims ............... Should really look for a set of 25:1 rims.

Too big because license dept over here only allows you to go 1 size up in rim diameter unless you get an engineers report. Most police patrol cars leave you alone unless they are sticking outside the wheel arches.
Hutchy17.. just go over the pits with a set of 14" 5 stud rims and change once you've been over. Keep the 14s as spares for next time you need to go over
