It wasn't my Subie but today my brother brought is 04' WRX around for help installing his new head unit and speakers. The 2 front ones were component speakers (for slim profile) with tweeters and both front and rear needed spacers/adapter rings. The multimeter got plenty of use and I went through almost a meter of heat shrink, but the wiring back there no longer looks like a ball of electrical tape and everything is soldered rock solid. Everything went without a hitch and now he's got a more decent sound system than his old 30 watt nonsense He came over at 10AM and only just left at around 6...yeah there was plenty of work to be done hehe

Cruisers are ridiculously expensive, I guess I've being looking for a year or so. Mine is a utility, so even more.
This one was cheap as, but it's interstate. So off tomorrow for a very long bus trip and drive home!

>I grabbed the switch & relay from a Touring Wagon, it was a simple plug & play job
The trick is to find a sedan so it doesn't have the rear window switch...but the wagon one will do the job

Mate I was too worried about pulling out the rack & getting the car all undrivable when I wasn't sure if I had what I needed to make it work. No probs though cos I got the coupling out of the same wagon today. The bracket you sent for the rack is gonna work though.Proton mouse wrote:Hey Jake, did you have a win with the L series steering bits I sent you?
Thanks for all ya help & I'll post on here as soon as I get it all working.
Cheers Jake

Heya Bloke, I have "Maxis Bravo 751" 27inch 8.5 r14, these tyres are getting harder to source and prices have ranged from $190 to $240 per tyre fitted, I tend to have less dramas finding them with Bridgestone tyre centre's than other's.Gone Fishing wrote:BTW what spare did you put on as I am chasing a set of 27's for my Brumby
Cheers

I got my Brum back today (still getting over the drive shaft swap debacle) with 2 expensive brand new drive shafts, and a replaced gearbox. Drives sweet, smooth and quiet at last!
And I got another bag of lovely brand new parts for the wagon to put away on the shelf for the reassembly; custom braided brake lines! Stainless steel tested up to 3000 PSI (yes three thousand)) and I got them made up longer to accommodate the lift kit I have planned. Also had them make a new solid line for one of the rear trailing arms as one of mine was busted, just supplied samples of everything and it was ready the next day and the solid line is 99% identical to the old one Now to get my calipers overhauled and master cylinder sleeved.
Power Brakes at Holden Hill for anyone who is interested, they do mail order as well just visit their website.
