The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Pretty darned unsettling I guess considering that this is such a major event for the area and these terrorists have enjoyed showing their self indulgences on international TV by taking hostages and pointing their guns at several crew members and participants last year. Forcing thousands of participa...

So, a report of the days activities... Thanks to Smokey and Sideways for joining me on the trip and making it our first NSW sector trip in .... ever?? I'm really pleased with the terrain in that it was a challenge in a few places but not too much really to start off our trips with. Smokey's auto loc...

I've edited the description two messages back to include meeting time, location and CD channel. See you there. Remember to drop me a line if you're intending to come. I've got confirmation from Smokey and Sideways Subaru so far.

How does Saturday the 5th sound to you all? This is especially for those who work during the week (hopefully you don't work Saturdays as well). A slight change of route... Meet in the grassy area outside the Macquarie Arms Hotel in Windsor at 8:30am. Depart around 8:45 to head up Putty Road, left at...

I've only just recently done the twin electric fan conversion on my L-series a week ago. Like you said, getting the right sized fan is a ***** but I found a 10" one on a wrecked car at PnP for $20 and positioned it slightly off center, basically hard up against the original electric fan and the bott...

Sounds good Colin. But how is it that the button is broken? I'm just about to part with a button operated vacuum solenoid for another Ausubaru member in Qld. Now that I've removed the parts to send to him I see how it works. What's the problem.... ok ok I know this is hijacking my own thread here......

Colin... I haven't tried that track at all but I guess it's now on the cards to try it for fun. Fredsub... OBW? I was looking over the Hema map of Wollemi Nat Park today and it shows lots of great opportunities for 4WDing. One that looks to be a good one is up Putty Road to the Colo bridge, followin...

Subidaz...you're right...thanks for the heads up... duuh.. National Parks that are in mind are for a reccie are: Wollemi - a few tracks through there Lidsdale (just outside Lithgow) - great for a variety of terrain including sand, mud, water, stony and dirt. Darug - Gardens of Stone Watagans (A day/...

If you want a professional way to get the speedo, trip meter and odo truly reading accurately then you need to get a speedo ratio box made up. It is a small reduction box screwed onto the gearbox where the speedo cable goes in and your speedo cable screws straight into it instead. My father made one...

Good on you Alex. At least the two of us could do a reccie and perhaps then we can lead some others through another day. Any other takers? How's your L going Colin.. or there's a few other well set up cars around Riverstone, Blacktown and Liverpool I know are reading this and haven't gone anywhere l...

So, I was thinking that I should be able to get away for a day trip through either one of the following National Parks. The question is, would anyone else like to come along for a reccie of a good trek so as to bring others along?? Personally, I'm interested in finding tracks that are considered med...

I've also found that SuziParts, near Liverpool by recollection, specialises in Suzuki and Subaru (Liberty and Impreza, not older MY or L) parts. Since I've never needed parts fom them I don't know how reasonably they charge. There's actually a few places nearby in that area that has lots of Impreza ...

Two things.. perhaps too late to mention if it's already done by yourself. 1 - make sure you hear the metal against metal 'clink' when you knock the bearing into place (if you don't have a press) in the hub. That signals it's all the way in. 2 - make sure you buy sealed wheel bearings... for the fro...

If it's simply a matter of the bottom bolt on the uni-joint not being tight around the steering rack input shaft then by all means give it a tighten up. After installing the uni-joint, ie - as part of a body lift installation, you'll find that it will take a bit of work to properly tighten up and it...

I've read so much about the Kumho tyres saying that they're lethal on wet roads. Great in the mud, noisy as hell on-road and dangerous on wet road (which is likely to be on the way to any muddy track) and at $172 each there are better options on either side of the price. I was pretty well sold on th...

Going as best as I can with calculating the change in tyre size and distances covered, I've returned between 11.2 and 13.5L/100kms depending on the load and condition of the spark plugs. That was running Dunlop Adventurers, a 185R14 Light Truck design (about 17% bigger than standard). What I've foun...

Basically you will find that there is more and more play in the steering, especially in centre position you can feel that there is a looseness for a few degrees before you feel the weight of moving the wheels. As it gets worse, you will feel it through the steering wheel, and hear it, knocking when ...

For a good source of Subie parts try "All Parts R Us" in Padstow. I've taken the drive from Kellyville to there quite a few times. They're specialists in older Subaru and Suzuki parts. I'd be very surprised if they didn't have what you need. I've done the searches through Pick n Pay more lots of tim...

Hi Alex... I've got one on my spare car you can buy for next to nothing compared to rebuilding it. There weren't any problems with it when I was driving it. Give us a call.

Both. After doing the gentle massaging of the guards, post fitting of 27's, I felt I'd like to respray the joins and cut metal. I got some black body deadening spray, that also acts as a rust preventer, and when that dried I sprayed fish oil liberally... that was an interesting experience when the s...
